Service was prompt, efficient and friendly. We ordered the basic breakfast and it came quickly. The serving was generous and delicious. It's not a fancy restaurant, but comfortable warm and inviting. read more

Amazing restaurant!! We came with over 10 people and were able to be seated in about 10 mins. The service was so attentive and the inside was so spacious with lots of outlets and free WiFi. We all ordered skillets ($14-16) and 2 rounds of mimosas or bloody Mary's ($0.99 each). The drinks were beyond cheap and good. The food itself has huge portions and not too flavorful but they give you lots of salsas, quesos, and condiments so you can customize it. Highly recommend for food, prices, and service. read more

Came here for Sunday morning breakfast before tackling a 5 mile trail run in the Rocky Mountains. At 9am our wait was less than five minutes. We loaded up with the lemon pecan pancakes which comes with two ($15.25), the Catalina sandwich (turkey/avocado/swiss $15), and a Lavender White Buffalo latte (white choc latte w/ lavender syrup and (tons of) whipped cream $7.75). All was delicious. Latte arrived in 5 min and all food arrived in barely 10 minutes. We requested a little side of whipped cream for the pancakes and they quickly obliged (no charge). Staff was great and attentive. Parking was a bit congested in their large/free lot but not unexpected for Sunday mid-morning. There's also a large outdoor semi-shaded (trees) patio with about 6-8 tables. Unfortunately it was packed, given the beautiful 74 degree weather and we had a schedule to keep! My only critique is that (unlike First Watch) The Buff's hearty potato skillets are a bit overpriced and lack any meaningful protein options (one has bacon, another has chorizo and the rest are basically vegetarian). I would urge them to have a chicken/shredded pork/beef (short rib?!)/duck/salmon/etc. as options with a modest up charge. read more

Awesome breakfast spot in Boulder. Started with really delicious lattes. Followed it up with a variety of breakfast fare including omelets, skillets, and the basic breakfast combos of eggs, meat, potatoes, and bread. Everything was perfect. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly. Restaurant was packed to the gills at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. They don't take reservations, so expect a bit of a wait. read more

From what I was told, this place is always packed. Being days after graduation, it was 1/2 full but we sure didn't mind. Great service, $.99 Bloody Mary's or Mimosas and a huge menu of breakfast and lunch items. I tried the chicken and french toast and it really hit the spot. Everyone loved their meals. read more

A very pleasant place to dine. The interior is friendly the music was at a most comfortable level and the food was hot and tasty. The employees were hospitable and made us feel much welcomed during the meal read more

Had a great experience here. Came with family and between us we tasted the eggs, french toast, a skillet bake and some amazingly huge lattes. The iced lattes come in a mug so big it's like drinking a big gulp. Which I appreciate when I've had a long night and want to wake up! The facility was clean and I really appreciated that you could sit outside with a pre-ordered drink from the bar. There are shaded benches that make the wait much more palatable. The tables were spaced nicely and our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Would come back in a heartbeat next time I'm in Boulder. read more

Really cool spot. Outdoor seating. Great service and quality food. Loved the dining area. Other than the potatoes, all was great! Potatoes felt more like a wedding side read more

The Buff Restaurant - Omelet with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms and subbed onions instead of cream cheese. Wish there was a little more h - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

One of my FAVORITES in Boulder. It's hyped but I get why. The food is great and the servers are really nice. I always get the Pacific Eggs Benedict and I love it every time. Only come of you are willing to wait around an hour for a table, because it gets insanely busy. I think the beverages are also overpriced so I have never gotten them. Other than that it's incredible overall! read more

The Buff Restaurant - Pacific Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

The Buff is ! Two Greyhounds off of the Booze Bar menu had me feeling great after a 12-hour shift, and my server, Kash A., delivered some of the best service I have experienced in a long time. I have not visited The Buff since I lived in Boulder back in 2018, and returning was an excellent experience. The place looks great and is very welcoming. The vegan green chili was outstanding, so much so that I ordered an extra to take home for my spouse. The prices are very reasonable, especially when compared to other brunch restaurants in the area, making The Buff an exceptional value for both quality and service. #APlus #Nostalgia #WillBeBack read more

Very good breakfast, and always the best service around. Every time I go there, i'm pleasantly surprised how amazing it is. Great energy. read more

What a great brunch spot! I can't wait to come back. Be prepared to wait, as they just take down names and on a Saturday we waited around 45 minutes for a party of 2. However they do move quick. Once seated, service is prompt. The chicken and French toast was to die for and i would absolutely get it again upon returning. The skillet was great but next time I'd love to try the Benedict's. They also had fun fall coffee flavors. read more

Late breakfast on the patio of the Buff is always a delight! Yesterday no exception. Beautiful weather, wonderful service (by Anthony I). Breakfast two step was wonderful with pancakes, eggs, bacon and potatoes and my skillet. Warm and delicious. Our dog was also welcomed on the patio too! Thanks for a great start to our day! read more

15 minutes wait to be seated but well worth it! Yummy breakfast and lunch offerings. Friendly staff made us feel at home.

Good little restaurant in the heart of Boulder,CO. Next to a hotel so you'll see a bunch of tourist in here in the middle of the week, but not too busy. We had the 99cent mimosas and Bloody Mary. Seemed to OJ in the mimosa were a bit warm and the bloody marry was overly spicy (for our taste) I had the Matterhorn skillet with mushrooms and Swiss cheese, pretty good but again just alittle overly cheesesy. Also had the pancakes which were very good. Also, should go without saying but since it's so close to the college your wait staff will most likely be a student...so leave a good tip Would recommend next time read more

It's been a long time since going to the Buff. We always loved their breakfast offerings. Banana bread, Bloody Mary's, etc were great!

Hands down one of the best brunch spots in Boulder! There is always a line but the wait is quick. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick and delicious every time. I used to come here every weekend before moving home. I will always make a special trip any time in town. read more

Everything there is consistently good! read more

What a Boulder staple! The male server we had was ON IT - he was completing our sentences. He gave great suggestions and was very efficient. We all loved our coffee and breakfast orders. We went on a Friday morning and had no wait. Will definitely return if I'm back in the area! read more

This was the second year we've been fortunate enough to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday with a group of her dear friends! The staff were very accommodating and personable! My in-laws have lived in Boulder since 1972 and enjoyed frequenting the original Buff. This year was her 98th and she has already said that she'll be back for her 99th!! Thank you for helping to make it a special memory! read more

Solid brunch spot! We stopped by The Buff when we were in Boulder and ordered the Valley of the Sun omelette and Ole skillet, both were very good and nice portion size. The omelette had adequate filling and a nice flavor, and our breakfast skillet was hearty and flavorful. The Buff has a comfortable interior, basic, modern, Western decor and friendly, very quick service. We stopped by on a weekday morning and were seated immediately, but there may be a wait on weekends. Worth a visit! read more

A fantastic spot for breakfast! My wife and I each had a Honey-Vanilla latte, and I ordered the Two Step--two slices of thick, fluffy French toast, crispy potatoes, and savory bacon. The French toast was golden-brown, generously coated in batter, and beautifully presented. The potatoes had a delicious flavor enhanced by a touch of herbs, and the eggs were cooked exactly to order, making the meal truly outstanding! My wife ordered the Buff sandwich meal, and once again, the diced potatoes delivered a delicious, well-seasoned flavor. The sandwich--featuring crispy bacon, melted cheddar, fresh tomato, and perfectly cooked eggs on toasted sourdough--was a flawless blend of flavors. The side of Hollandaise sauce added a rich, velvety touch, making the meal even more enjoyable. The service was excellent and friendly from the time we entered the door. Highly recommended for breakfast! read more

The white buffalo cakes & breakfast quesadilla are sooooooooo good!!! Love this place!

We were both hangry (sic) and The Buff was right in front of our hotel. A quick Yelp check revealed a number of 4 and 5-star reviews which made our decision for a late breakfast very easy. They were packed as it was approaching lunch but were able to secure a high-top table and within minutes our server arrived with water and verified that breakfast was still being served. We both ordered their skillet breakfasts with cappuccino coffees. Warning, bring your appetite as these entrees are large. I noticed that The Buff does not skimp on portion size with any of their entrees. This is a cool local joint that is serving up some excellent food! Oh, they have a full bar as well. read more

Wow! I get it. This place is amazing. Arrived in town today and were ready to eat. It did have an hour wait. But worth it. The white buffalo coffee drink was incredible.

And the pecan quesadilla offered a touch of sweetness. Would definitely come back again! read more
