We were a little skeptical when we saw this place was in a shopping center, but it certainly does not have a strip mall vibe. Service is quick and friendly, the menu is varied and you get a ton of delicious food. Recommended.

What a great place! Stopped in here for lunch and the food and service were amazing. There was a nice vibe in the restaurant as well, mostly locals. Loved it!

My friend and I stopped at the cafe for coffee and realized they had several homemade pies. So I had the banana custard and my friend had the apple pie. Both were wonderful. I told my husband, a lover of pies and great pie maker himself, that we would have to return here together. The atmosphere is funky and if... More

My pick for best, most consistent quality breakfast in Boulder. Hot fresh quality meals with great, strong coffee. Eggs Marcos (with banana nut pancakes) is my fall back choice but I've tried most of the menu and love the flavor and quality of most everything. Enjoy!

I've always wondered what a truly "Boulder" diner would be like. Dots is excellent, but somehow not Boulder enough. The Village Cafe is too New York, but also excellent. The Walnut Cafe, however, is TRULY a BOULDER Diner! I don't understand why the other reviewers are complaining about noise ... IT'S A DINER! What would you expect? In fact, I... More

If you are visiting Boulder, this place is worth checking out for breakfast. You might have to wait for a table, but it is worth it. It is close to The Marriott and The Millenium Hotel in a strip mall off of 30th. The menu is very creative and they have booths and outdoor seating (sunny and south facing). The... More

The Walnut Cafe has the feel of a community diner which can be quite fun.... and loud sometimes. The menu is extensive and has options for many different dietary needs. As a vegetarian I really enjoy the Boulder Scramble with Breakfast Potatoes. And the option to sit inside or outside is always a delight as well. The views of the... More

Welcome to Boulder-Land where anyone can be pleased in this special breakfast spot. We've tried many during our years in Boulder, but this remains our favorite return-to spot. We eat here weekly. You don't have to shy away from the menu, any friend or business associate or family member can be pleased and surprised by a menu that is as... More

We're not locals, but enjoyed this spot a couple of years back and visited again on our last visit to Boulder, The crowd was hopping on a Friday morning and we squeezed around a small table. Our orders for 4 covered pancakes. eggs, biscuits, cornbread and french toast. All were darn good, but the breakfast potatoes and blueberry cornbread got... More
