49 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Denver

“This restaurant(s) is so unique and incredibly sophisticated no matter what venue you are looking for this is the place! The atmosphere is awesome due to the incredible décor, large screen, a multitude of different type of seating, large TV’s located all around the bar! The service and restaurant is second to none! The bartenders are so professional and friendly. Believe it or not we were actually asked if we were satisfied with our drinks! We were politely and professionally served our many food and drink selections! When our pizza slices were served, my mouth dropped, because I have never seen slices of pizza so huge! I have not had a slice of pizza that was so good with just the right amount of tasty toppings on mine! We ordered chicken wings, half naked and half buffalo wing sauce. The chicken wings had been fried to perfection and was so good we could not make up our minds which type of chicken wings was the best, so we called it a pleasingly tie!“

“We LOVE this place. I have yet to order something that wasn’t delicious and the staff are amazing. Always a wait, but we’ll worth it!“

“All the way from Scotland to find this hidden gem on 4th Ave. Thoroughly enjoyed the BLTs and Reuben sandwiches. Nice seating area at the rear of the shop. Will definitely return.“

“I come here every single year on the same day for my first date anniversary! They've even accomodated our whole family on our wedding day at their other location! I've always loved them since they first opened. The service & ambiance is always top notch. Their Vietnamese coffee is tasty, with a mix of spices! One of my fave coffees in Denver.

I do think expanding to 3 locations after all this time has maybe created a level of quality control that can't be helped.

Unfortunately, it's hard to come as often now because the food has changed significantly since the beginning. The menu itself hasn't changed, so we order the same things almost every time. Their congee which used to be balanced & complex is now heavily salted/inedible (we bring it home & make a huge pot with it and still can't reduce all the salt.) Their duck fried rice is mainly oil now, and the rice soaks it in, becoming soggy. This has been the case the last few times we've stopped by or brought friends.

Their chilaquiles is still consistently enjoyable, alongside the breakfast burrito. It's just a shame a lot of the Asian brunch items that made them a standout before are no longer good.

We'll still come every year, same as always since it has such a big piece of our hearts, and hopefully the food will get back on track someday.“

“The gumbo! Go for the GUMBO an huge butttery biscuits“

“Visited Denver in September and found Sam’s across the road from our hotel. We had breakfast every day as the menu was massive as were the portions. The service was friendly and efficient. I even came home with a baseball cap in the colours of my local soccer team 😂 Loved Denver and loved Sam’s“

“Fantastic food!! My wife and I swung in here on a whim and they really surprised us. Their breakfast sandwich was phenomenal, they offered a banana chocolate chip scone that was excellent and they have an “over night oat” oat meal that blew me away. Wonderful atmosphere, super friendly staff, I wish we had a place like that back home! Port side is five star.“

“Very casual environment. Breakfast was very good. Our waiter was very friendly and professional and was very attentive to our needs. I had the Belgian waffle with Virginia ham and it was cooked perfectly. The wife had the Denver omelet and she loved it. The veggies were even sautéed and mixed in with the egg, and most places don't do that. They even gave her a choice of cheese to put with it. Will definitely be going back for breakfast, and maybe try the lunch one day. There are also plenty options for meals for breakfast and lunch.“

“First time eating here today for breakfast and everything was delicious! Your staff was very kind and attentive. Thank you. we will be back!😊“

“Hidden gem in Lakewood for breakfast/lunch. Fresh made biscuits daily. They always have buttermilk and a rotating biscuit of the day with great sandwich options 😋 solid coffee as well“

“Excellent food!! Friendly service!!!“

“Awesome food, service & staff! My go to for breakfast while in Denver.“

“I have been going there for over 40 years. It is one of the best family restaurants in the neighborhood. My favorites are the Greek Chicken and Mexican Hamburger wings. The service is very personal; they all know you by name, and hugs are a delight. The owners are the best and treat you like you are part of the family. Every holiday, the decorations are professionally set up making the atmosphere calming and enjoyable to look at. They are big supporters of the Girl Scouts. Thank You to the Looking Good Restaurant.“

“Everything was delicious!! My spouse is a Celiac so gluten free is important. They have dedicated GF toaster and anything cooked on the grill can be cooked in a pan. The hostess and server were very knowledgeable about GF and their kitchen. My spouse had scrambled eggs, ham, and GF pancakes.

I had the stuffed French toast. It was amazing!! 3 large slices of perfectly cooked French toast. The mix of cheesecake filling and strawberry was lovely. Grandma’s apples were a taste of warmth and comfort. We both enjoyed our meals. The food came quickly and our order was correct. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful.“

“This place is a must try if you’re in the area. Service is great, our waitress was very kind to us, also very patient we have 3 kids and they’re not iPad babies so a little loud. The taste of the food is delicious, we shared the carnitas hash and the French toast and they both deserve 5 stars. The hash is a little spicy but has just the right kick! A big plus is they open at 7 am!“

“I was disappointed but they made up for it and I'm greatful for that. Thanks Heather for making things right!

I had called. Was put on hold... Hung up on. Called back, no response. Quite the bummer after a long day at work. BUT, after explaining what happened they apologized and offered to take care of me / hook it up. Thanks again. DELICIOUS PIZZA 🤤“

“Great breakfast 👍🏼 and tasty waffles 🧇“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for Ray D. at The Original – Denver, CO

My family and I flew in from Houston for a Thanksgiving week getaway, and after hearing great things about The Original, we decided to try it out. Let me just say—we were not disappointed!

Our server, Ray D., was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The food was phenomenal—everything came out fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared.

Ray D. truly made our dining experience memorable, and we highly recommend him and this restaurant to anyone visiting Denver. If you’re looking for great service and amazing food, this is the place to be. Five stars from me and my family“

“I absolutely love it here. Food is absolutely delicious and with the price I'd much rather come here than anywhere else. I have not explored the menu too much as the country benedict is too good to skip. My husband gets the steak and eggs and loves that and my kid had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream that was crisp and fluffy with the cutest face on it.“

“One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and absolutely the best omlette I've enjoyed. My wife and I shared a few cocktails, including their pride month offering. I stared with the spicy egg salad on crispy potato because the menu said "everyone needs at least one," and I try to be a rule follower. It was a good first bite, but not the best part of the meal. My wife had the chicken sandwich, which was a special menu item. It was fantastic (I had a bite). For me though, the omlette was the star of the meal. the eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was a nice complement to the eggs and beet cured salmon, separately, and also as a composed bite. The real treat, however, was the spring peas (not pictured) on the inside. We'll return next time we are in Denver, and reluctantly, I'll try something else from the menu. I should add that our sever was fantastic, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the wall of sauces is a little overwhelming, but in a good way. My favorite was the Colfax Killer. I really enjoyed it on my wife's fries and the greens that were on the side of my dish.“

“Best breakfast I have on awhile. Breakfast burrito was all handmade and homemade including the freshly made tortilla. Very nice experience. Go try them, you'll be pleased.“

“Sparkles Vibe! The fresh food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and it's such a fun atmosphere!“

“We had a delicious breakfast before baseball this morning: I got an iced coffee flight and a basic breakfast with dressed greens and a sausage patty. My son got. Banana pancake and oatmeal, and my husband got an omelette. Service was fast and friendly, especially for 7am! My dressed greens were the star of my show and I’ll be craving them daily.“

“Great breakfast and brunch menu. Awesome food selection.“

“enormous delicious pizza.“

“lovely little vietnamese deli with everything! the banh gio is delicious and the filling is super generous. i also picked up nem chua and a frozen mam chung as well. Moving here from california i've really missed vietnamese deli foods and this place hits the spot. super great little gem. can't wait to go back!“

“steak 🥩 and eggs breakfast“

“Food was underwhelming but service by Alex was excellent. We ordered the very berry French toast which my kid didn’t like because it was smothered in what looked like an artificial berry syrup, the “toast” themselves, small and thin. The country benedict was small portioned. I felt there was more hollandaise sauce in it than eggs and hash browns and was hungry after. The lobster omelette was meh. Food came fast and we did receive excellent service from Alex, so would consider going back if we’re in the area, but food and portions need a rehaul.“

“Food is good and fresh People all nice“

“best local shop I've seen in years. kind and friendly staff. the decor is welcoming and homely. highly recommend!!“

“What a little gem. Wandered over for a cup of coffee (ok it was a mimosa don't judge me). Ended up with a gluten free pancake. I was diagnosed with celiac and went gf in 2020. Haven't had a pancake since. Holt sh!!!!!!!!!!!!! this tasted just like a pancake to me!!!“

“Awesome love this place. Great good amazing service!!!“

“steak 🥩 and eggs breakfast“

“The chicken and waffles were delicious!“

“Love this place, food is good, big portions 🤪😋😁❤️“

“Patrick (the host) was amazing! Very much appreciated his kindness and great service. I will definitely come here again on my next trip to/through Denver. Kassandra was a wonderful and attentive server!“

“The waitresses are attentive and kind, the food is great.“

“What an absolute gem in the Berkely area of Denver. Loved the vibe as soon as we walked through the front gate. It was a nice day and we were able to enjoy the patio. Service was great and fast. Definitely recommend the cinnamon bun pancakes if they are available!“

“We found this restaurant while staying downtown Denver. The menu was more diverse than the usual breakfast establishments. The server Sidney was pleasant and attentive. The food was warm, full of flavor and just the right portion size to feel full but not stuffed. The food presentation was pleasing. We will return again in the future. I recommend you check them out!“

“The Vibe is incredible when you walk in .Everyone that works there was smiling & enjoying their selves , I Love that !Our server Ally was so friendly kind and efficient!!The food (The Burrito w chorizo) was so delicious and The Rejuvenate drink was very satisfying!!! LOVED My experience here coming back soon Thank You Ally for perfect service !!!!“

“We stumbled across this breakfast spot on our way home and were pleasently pleased.
Now this is what I call breakfast. The eggs were fluffy and seasoned just right. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The restaurant had comfortable seating.
The pancakes were perfect. The crepes were delicious.
Everything was fresh, the atmosphere was nice, clean, and the wait staff was friendly and
provided great service. We will make this a breakfast spot in our travels.“

“It was refreshing and delicious. I was at airport passing through. It was great. Wish it was in my town!“

“First time at Hashtag and we were absolutely blown away with the food and service. Wanted to pass on a compliment about the server Izzy. He brings a fantastic energy, generosity of spirit, and humor, totally elevating our dining experience. Somebody is hiring great talent, and this man deserves a raise. He will keep your patrons coming back again and again!“

“Excellent food Good service and prices“

“Henry and Iris were both very good hosts. Henry went well beyond good service. When the lobby was full and there was no place to sit, he went and got me a chair. When there was confusion about the app used to order the food, he very patiently sat with me and explained the app. He even went to the manager to see to it that I would receive the advertised rate discount. I was very impressed with the service and assistance.“

“Maybe it’s the east coast hospitality worker in me, but if you have a line of people waiting, you don’t need to chat with the customers who have already paid about their life /drama. I’m all for creating relationships but sadly it’s an every single time I’ve been there thing. The food is great but the service is slow and has made me late to meetings several times because of how long I had to wait. This has been my experience in person and every time I order delivery the time gets pushed because of how slow they are.“

“This is a 5 star iHop. Came on Christmas Day because we hadn't expected to be in town. Place was busy. Staff was working hard, professional, and very pleasant. Our food was great too! I hadn't eaten at an iHop in over 5 years and I was surprised how fresh everything was. Eggs fluffy, bacon and sausage really good. Pancakes as good as expected. I remembered to ask for the Pecan syrup. My fav.

Appreciated the manager stopping by the table to check on our meal.

Will for sure make this a regular breakfast restaurant choice.“

“The food and cocktails were great. There was a lot to choose from on the menu. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice and the prices were a good deal. I highly recommend. Definitely a repeat restaurant“
