Its a year later and I'm writing a review to recommend the Pacific Benedict and a mimosa. It was so good that I still remember it. I was in Boulder for a wedding last summer and ate here as part of a post-wedding breakfast get together. My family almost made an excuse to miss the breakfast assuming this was just... More

Whether nursing a hangover (bloody mary's are amazing), or coming here with your family, you can't find a better place to get together for breakfast. The food here is PHENOMENAL and you are not left hungry after your meal. The servers are great, very attentive and if you are dining with small children, will get their orders started to get... More

Where else can you get a deep fried breakfast burrito? I also highly recommend their pancakes and the huevos rancheros.

Great food and a great environment typically cost money. No issue and this place provide both. I would certainly come back but only for a special event as the price to great ratio was not quite what it needed to be, particularly given the location of Colorado and not, say, London.

The food here is fine. You will always get a pretty solid meal, however if you're looking for somewhere that compares price wise I would recommend looking else where, possibly on Pearl St. I believe the buff is great for hangover breakfasts (i.e. greasy), however it's certainly not for everyone

There're plenty of great places to have breakfast in Boulder, but this is by far my favorite. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. Extensive breakfast menu, cheap mimosa's. The staff is the friendliest you'll find, and the food is reasonable and terrific!!

Hubby and I visited Buff twice while we were staying near Boulder on a short weekend get-away...and both times were great! It felt a lot like "home" ...aka Austin, Texas. It had a laid-back, hippy-ish vibe (not dirty hippy, just fun-loving hippy, lol). I had the Dirty Hippy as a drink the first morning we were there...be warned, if you're... More

This is a local college breakfast place in the middle of a motel parking lot. It is almost always busy, so go early if you don't want to wait. There are usually a lot of seemingly hungover college students there, but it also attracts families and tourists. They serve breakfast (and lunch) until 2pm and it is a great place... More

The Buff Restaurant is located in the Best Western Goldern Buff hotel. The blueberry pancakes are the best I have had in a long time. We ate there three morning because of the location an we're happy with the food and service every time. Looking forward to returning to The Buff next time in Boulder CO.
