    Breakfast Croissant
    Briana B.

    Delicious food for a great price! Staff were very kind and service was very quick. Breakfast diner with Mexican flare and decor. Would definitely come back. My boyfriend & I each got the croissant sandwich with parkway potatoes as the side.. great choice.

    Passing through town and saw Mexican breakfast being offered here. Yes, please! I got the Mexican Hash Browns. SO filling and flavorful with the green chili. Mike got the Migas Cuatro and couldn't finish his either. We both left full and happy!

    Quesobirria Tacos and Eggs

    This is the best food we had on our trip to Denver/Boulder. We ordered the chilaquiles and the special Quesobirria Tacos and eggs. We also got a side of green chili and the house potatoes. This food was unreal good. Extremely large portions, the food itself was perfectly (not overly) spicy, seasoned well, and just straight up tasty. This is a diner at the end of the day , and everything you can expect from a local diner will be here. The service was amazing, food delivered quickly, and it was crowded with the typical weekend diner atmosphere that I always look for when dining at these types of restaurants.

    Solid breakfast spot with the classics and reasonable prices. Diner feel with outdoor seating and a Mexican flare to their food/decor.

    Denver omelette with hash browns and mini waffles
    Jocelyn H.

    5/5! The food and service was great here. We got the breakfast burrito and Denver omelette. The omelette is a deal because it comes with two sides (I got the hash browns and mini waffles). If you can get any side, the mini waffles are a must. The serving size is great for the price. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were worried that there would be a wait on a Sunday morning and limited parking, but we were seated immediately. Overall, great experience.

    Mexican hashbrowns with added sides

    This was absolutely delicious. The green chili had a nice mild spice level and was rich and super flavorful. Eggs were done perfectly and the service was excellent. Good coffee. I added the veggies and beans as sides and it was great this way.

    Steak and eggs, my post run favorite!

    A 'hidden' true Boulder delight. Nothing fancy just good food and great service. And they have gluten free bread :)

    A 5-star diner. The menu is very good, the food is very good, they serve it quickly and the servers are top notch. It's a somewhat odd location, quasi industrial but, I'll come back whenever I can.

    Biscuits And Gravy

    When you forget to take photos of your food, that's how you know the food is amazing. I've forgotten to take many photos of our orders since our first visit last week, which doesn't occur very often. I guess it's safe to say we're addicted to the parkway cafe lol. I'm normally a creature of habit when it comes to my orders, but I've made it a point to try different items on the menu. The first visit I had eggs benedict and split it with a family member since we weren't that hungry. I thought we were going to get an extra plate to split it ourselves, so when it came already split into 2 portions, we were amazed. This was the first restaurant that's ever done that for us, and we truly appreciated the gesture. The following visits, I tried their Mexican hash browns, biscuits and gravy, and hobo omelette. Everything has been amazing so far and all the dishes are reasonably priced. I like how they give you a discount if you pay with cash vs a credit card--it's not much, but I'll take a discount any day! Highly recommend this cafe to anyone who's visiting or a resident.

    Is the green chili vegetarian?

    No contains pork. Best damn green chili though!

    Are they're gluten-free options available? Yes or no will suffice minus any unnecessary assumptions please.

    Only if you build an omelette that way. This is not a new age or trendy type of place. It is an old school greasy spoon diner with diner folks and working people as regulars. If that it what you are looking for this place is solid and authentic. If… Read more

    Super cute little cafe with delicious breakfast! Definitely a smaller place but I enjoy intimate…read morebreakfast spots. They had amazing drinks and the server had great recommendations on their menu for what we were feeling. Was more food than I could handle in one go but there's nothing better than a filling breakfast before a long morning walk. There are some nice park paths nearby with great views of the mountains and valley. Highly recommend this place!

    Overall: Food is excellent in terms of quality and flavors. I keep coming back for brunch…read more Food: Rich and all dishes I've tried so far are solid whether it's the Buddha bowl, avo toast, burrito, burger, shakshuka, jam sandwich, pancakes, French toast, chai doughnut holes or huevos. I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.

    Beautiful building with so much character and history, friendly and attentive service, easy parking…read moreand delicious food and tea! We loved everything about this place! We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience. We also tried their chai - which was lightly spiced and one of the black teas (pineapple chilli) - and these were delicious too! We had kids with us and they were super friendly and nice towards them and accommodating to menu changes based on preferences. Overall - highly recommend this place!

    What a joyous culinary experience! We arrived on time for our dinner reservation and were seated…read moreimmediately. Service throughout was cheerful, thorough and we were made to feel truly welcomed which we appreciated. The building is astoundingly beautiful from the moment you walk up to the heavenly scented rose garden out front to the handmade tile building to the statues in the fountain that lend just the right amount of peaceful tranquility....it's all quite remarkable to the senses. Then comes the feast with international influences from Persia to Africa to Asia, etc, it brings a masterful collection of flavors. We ordered the bao, hummus plate and Mediterranean salad to start and all were excellent. The bao was my favorite, pillowy soft with succulent pork. For mains we ordered: the lamb shish kabebs which were as expected and served with a delicious rice and tzatziki sauce, next was the spicy Indonesian peanut noodles with chicken and this was amazingly flavorful and perfectly prepared, but our last one was my favorite and that was the African Shoko which was beef that was so tender and delicious and paired with plantains and peppers which gave it this mild sweet heat that was an absolute delight! We most certainly couldn't end the night without dessert so we opted for the chocolate espresso mousse and the Austrian apple streusel which reminded me of my Grandma in the most perfect and beautiful way, it was delicious and if I hadn't been so full I would have eaten every bite! What a tremendous experience! I cannot wait to come back and try their tea service! This place is truly special!
