7 Best Cafes near Palmer Lake

“Found this little gem last Saturday. The weather was beautiful so we decided to find a new spot in Palmer Lake. Lake and Lantern did not disappoint! Great food, reasonable prices, tasty coffee and friendly service. Can’t ask for more but they also have amazing cinnamon rolls and fun games to play like tic tac toe and Uno. Lovely place - we will be back!“

“From the entrance to the exit ❤️❤️❤️
The atmosphere is elegant, composed, and feels like a 5 star hotel lobby.

We arrived shortly after they opened for the day and I believe we were the first ones in.

The old fashioned was SUPER SMOOTH.
I have never had it done in such a manner, but I respect and I love it !
They put they own spin on it. A gentle note of coconut. Not enough to over power the cocktail, but almost like a gentle breeze swept under your nose to give you the smell of a vacation drink on the beach.

The tofu 🤤 MY FAVORITE part. I’ve had many places’ rendition of this dish, but this place has earned its gold medal from me.
Huge chunks of tofu battered just right. Not no 60% batter 40% tofu BS. No, just that perfect coating proportion. Enough to get that aesthetically pleasing crunch that caters to damn near all 5, 6 or 7 senses (however many you have.) the dipping sauce that accompanies it as well 🤤🤤 I could write a book of a review for the tofu alone, but I ate more than just that.

The truffle fries next. Most fries have a lingering friend of oil. Their cooked in it, so it makes sense, but these. THESE FRIES.
Minimal to almost NO EXCESS oil drip. (At least our fries, not a single excess drip)
These fries were delivered fresh, heat coming off the fries. The perfect crisp, that perfect gold. If you thought the fries were a 10 out of 10, the rest of the food was was 10+ above.

I had the eggs benedict. I love the liberal use of greens ! It was fresh, it was clean, it was crunchy, it was something beyond satisfying.
It was not too much to steal the focus though. It was a great balance and well executed. The dish also looked like art. It looked better than pictured, and tasted better than words can describe.

My wife ordered the chicken dish. It was paired with a garlic fried rice I believe. The smells were all there. Proudly announcing it’s presence to my nostrils, but not too garlicky that you forget there is other things on the plate as well.

The only complaint I have is that I wish I heard about this place earlier.“

“We arrived late looking for a simple meal as they were closing after lunch and nothing was too much trouble.\nDelicious toasties (one gluten free) and coffees (one lactose free).\nVery friendly service that was much appreciated at short notice.“
