Best Breakfast Place in College Towns

[JM4CY]

Hy-Vee Chinese. By the time you're eating breakfast in college, its probably close to noon, and Chinese food is great for hangovers.

And then a toilet.

Back in my college years we had Angies Kitchen. It’s shocking that a breakfast spot like that in the heart of campustown failed.

They used to be open until maybe 3am.
They did a nice job fixing up that building and it unfortunately didn't last long.

I'll also give a shout out to Beauderlaire.
Great food.

Cafe Beaudelaire has a decent brunch on weekends.

The Grove is pretty overrated. It's small and kind of rundown, which would be fine if the food were better, but it's honestly pretty standard.

Depending on what you're in the mood for, the Filling station has some good breakfast food. Provisions also has good options.

Sounds like a bar that sells scrambled eggs

The scrambler at Mickie’s May be the best breakfast I’ve ever had

How hungover were you?

Really miss Lou Henri. They had great choices for vegetarians and meat eaters. I prefer Dandelion.

For years, Hamburg Inn was the place to go, but ownership/management changed a couple of years ago, and the service and food quality, imo, really dropped off. .

Bluebird is good, can't speak for Dandelion. Lou Henri was good, but always had dicey service from the extremely laid-back staff.

This thread makes me miss the Cyclone/Texaco truck stop.

Winner Winner Winner! Miss that place so much, Cyclone Slam ftw.

My Mrs loves the pancakes but the syrup is pretty thin, almost like watered down.

Yes. Flush all those toxins out. Good stuff.

It didn’t fail. The owner was the guy who owned Bali Satay. He just decided he was done with restaurants eventually. Around the same time the re-development of that block started.

Most homemade syrup I’ve had has been thin. Not saying what they serve is homemade just an observation I’ve had.

I was so confused the first time I went there, confused as to why the hell it was such a big deal. And then my eyes (and butthole) were opened.

For CU I love The Buff Restaurant in Boulder. Snooze is great too but The Buff is really tasty!
