Conifer Cafe

Hearty portions. Quick and friendly service. Bland food. Standard cafe/diner fare. Pricy. The bacon breakfast sandwich was huge! But no spices or salt or pepper was evident in taste. The hash browns were spices and seasoned. The biscuits and gravy were $18.50. The gravy was thickened flour milk, with no salt or pepper, the blandest gravy I ever had. It did nothing to enhance the flavor of the biscuits. It just made them soggy. The price for the meal was hefty. Coffee was good. Hot chocolate was delicious. I consider Conifer a 'highway' town,' catered to those folks passing through on 285. I was disappointed.

Food was good, service was a bit slow. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast/brunch. Good sized portions, clean place.

I'm really struggling to find a place that can satisfy my craving for a really good Biscuits and Gravy breakfast, but alas, this place wasn't bad. My biggest complaint was that I thought the gravy was lacking sausage (it's there, barely) and a bit runny. Service made up for it though and my wife enjoyed her breakfast. Would definitely give mm this place another try. Can't say much for the atmosphere, but at least the restaurant was clean.

The elk sausage and eggs were outrages, not gamie at all. The Mexican skillet was really good and they have half portions. Service was awesome and fast. Highly recommend, this place just become one of my favorite breakfast places.

Absolutely loved the French toast sticks. Perfectly crispy and fluffy, with the right amount of cinnamon. Also loved that they made a little cabin shape out of the sticks. The biscuits and gravy weren't bad. Gravy and sausage were good but the biscuits were a little dry and hard. French fries weren't seasoned, though listen as seasoned fries. But still hot and crispy! The breakfast sandwich on a croissant was fantastic. Great portion sizes and excellent service

I had the Jalapeno Elk Sausage Omelette with hash browns and biscuit. All of that was excellent. Service was great with very friendly staff. My son had waffles as part of his meal, and he didn't like that they were fried, kind of like a donut. I've never heard of that style before, but someone else might like it.

Cozy cafe in the heart of conifer. Good brunch place. Service was quick and the staffs were friendly.

I was part of a party of nineteen, we made a reservation and the table was ready ten minutes early for us. It took a minute for us to get settled in our seats and get our drinks maybe ten minutes for all of the drinks to come out, but the food came out very fast about twenty-five minutes, I had the breakfast burrito that was very large and very flavorful, I also tried the peppered bacon and a pancake and all of it was amazing. Overall I didn't have an complaints and I didn't hear any from an of the other party members either.

If you're looking for a diner in the middle of the most confusing strip mall ever, this is your place to be (we're talking church, liquor store, fashion salon, and much more). We stopped here on the way back to Denver the day after a wedding, so you know we were in desperate need of the coffee / water combo immediately. After getting that out of the way, you have about a million various breakfast / lunch combos at your disposal. We all got breakfast because a great perk of this cafe is that many meals come with a pancake. The sweet and salty breakfast combo was ideal. Their skillet meals were fantastic. If you don't want gravy, you can switch it out for their green chilis. Matter of fact, you can substitute pretty much anything for whatever you want here. It's like the Substitution Cafe. I don't think I will ever be back here in my life because I don't live anywhere near here, but if you're deciding on a place to go for breakfast, check it out!!

Stopped here on the way home from a hike since we wanted a hearty breakfast. We were not disappointed! I ordered the meat skillet plate which had hashbrowns, eggs, sausage patties, and bacon, all smothered in gravy. It also came with a choice of toast or pancake on the side and I went with the pancake. Let me tell you...this was an enormous amount of food for me and I was stuffed. The pancake was crispy on the edges and fluffy on the inside. The skillet itself was absolutely delicious!!! I especially loved the sausage patties. My partner enjoyed his plate as well. Service was quick and attentive. We plan to come back here for a good hearty breakfast next time we're around.

Great place for breakfast in Conifer. I had the chicken cordon bleu sandwich and it was great! They do have an up charge for eggs due to and increased cost for them but worth it to support a local business.

This breakfast item only!...AND personal preference/opinion too! Though I have been coming here for years and have enjoyed many Breakfasts and some lunches, I gotta say the Huevos Rancheros was the worst or second worst I have ever had. Hard Tortilla shells, a wad of Potato Hash Browns smothered in Red Chili and cheese, and a couple of Eggs does not cut it for Huevos. Amongst all of the other good items on the menu, this one clearly falls short....I left 75% of it on my plate!...as did my business associate. Time for a Huevos make-over!....or maybe I'm just an outlier....I know what I won't be ordering in the future!

We eat here often and I try to give a review each time. Today we were sat right away by a friendly young lady, I believe she was newer staff, as I have never seen her. We had breakfast. Always pretty decent. I had the biscuits and gravy with sausage and scrabbles eggs. The eggs weren't cooked all the way today, a little runny. And I will always complain about the water. I wish they would just put a filter on their tap water. I just always taste like bleach or some kind of cleaner. The coffee is always good, however a flavored creamer would be a nice addition. It's always loud in there, i do believe they could fix this issue, but it doesn't seem to be at the top of their list. Their bloody Mary's look pretty tasty, however I don't drink, but the amount of things they put on a stick is amazing!! Impressive. Always plenty of parking and never really had to wait long for a table. They do have outdoor seating in nice weather. Just another thought, it would be nice to see the employees in matching shirts of some kind. And the cooks wearing hair nets, hats or something while working in the kitchen.

This morning on our visit to Conifer Cafe, I ordered sausage, biscuits and gravy and my wife had 2 eggs, hash browns and bacon. Coffee and OJ to drink. My biscuits were burned, the sausage is now frozen pre made sausage and my wife's hash browns were burned. The bill was $60... I won't be coming back and don't recommend you do either.

We have been coming here for a few years now, service has always been terrific! Not once have we had anyone beyond spectacular, today is a shout out for the Chef TIM! I ordered the special Eggs Benedict for the first time and oh Lordy... they were delicious! made to order eggs that were perfect! Hollandaise sauce was so creamy and the home fries were just the right crispiness. Honestly this dish is all about the egg and TIM nailed it !! Will definitely be back- he's worth our drive for sure.

Great spot on our way to fish in Deckers! Breakfast was amazing, service was top notch and the location is beautiful! Highly suggest a visit if you are looking for breakfast in the area!

After sitting 45 minutes waiting on French toast and bacon I began to wonder where's my f'n food????? I began to get hangry and ask what the hold up was and was informed that it was going to be another 5-10 minutes fir my food after seeing over a handful of patrons receive their food I decided to leave cute waiter service sucked ass

Cute little dinner just off of 285. Wonderful place to stop after a hike at Reynolds Park with my kids. Great food, big portions - a bit pricy, but I think it was worth it.

What a great restaurant! The country fried steak with white gravy, Texas toast, fries and sautéed veggies was spectacular. I will definitely need to get it again. The kids loved the chicken nuggets and potstickers. Staff was very friendly and service was great.

The Conifer Cafe is a great place for breakfast! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Definitely worth a try if you're passing through.

I stopped over at the cafe after my hike in elk falls. This was a decent cafe. The menu seemed pretty limited for my liking but the food was definitely good. I got waffles and definitely the pricing was on the higher end for a diner. I also saw some additional surcharges on my receipt. Not sure if its a CO thing or just this cafe. The service was pretty fast and I definitely devoured the waffles. My over hard eggs had running yolk. And weird their breakfast combo didn't come with hashbrowns or home fries. They did have 4 bacons though! I usually only see 2. All in all, a decent stop if you are hungry!

Great find!!!Jennifer was amazing! The food was delicious and plentiful; i could only eat half the serving.

OH WOW! What a surprise! This place is the BEST food we have had in this last year in Colorado in any price range...and yet what a value. The ambiance is comfortable but not fancy. Just nice lighting and comfortable seating. The service is friendly and as fast as they can go. The Pork chili omelette, huevos rancheros, pulled pork tacos were all just excellent. Fresh and Spiced and cooked to perfection....but those hash browns stood above them all. Krispy sections equal to the soft sections and plentiful. They even had gluten free toast for this allergic gal. We will drive an hour just to come here again.

Food was awesome, and service was friendly and attentive. We had a turkey Reuben and grilled cheese with bacon - both with the very tasty potato salad. The only thing we noticed missing was there was no music playing. That would have only added to the cozy ambiance. Highly recommend!

Conifer Cafe has amazing food with a real chef. It seems like they kept most of the best dishes from when they were the 285 diner. We love it!

Best brecky in town, good atmosphere, great service. Will be back for sure. Try the donut bites for an app!

Went here for brunch, had a lovely waitress who was very attentive. The Bloody Mary is unexpectedly large, and the waffles and pancakes were great. We had the Ruben, which had really good corned beef, as well as their country fried steak. This is a breakfast diner, they don't pretend to be anything else.

First of all, we were starving when we walked in and within minutes had coffee, water, and our order taken! The menu was varied and cooked to perfection. I loved our waitress, who was perky and friendly. Such a good experience!!!!

Nice people, good food, and lots of it. Open and spacious. Lots of breakfast specials and the flexibility to make sure you live what you get (cause you are going to be taking some home, they give you that much). Coffee refilled with a smile. If you come here, you will leave full and happy.

I ordered the Conifer breakfast with only one egg, bacon fried has browns, and subbed a pancake for toast. All for $10. The service was really nice. And the pancake was a revelation. I think they put cinnamon in it. Husband ordered an elk, cheese, jalapeño sausage & he felt I was worthy & gave me a bite. So delish!! I would definitely return!

I'm telling you this place nailed it. As a foodie, I am impressed. Excellent tamales and Mexican Benedict... get the potatoes and peppers with the Mexican dish. We will be back!Tamales

So have been going here for the last 6 months and have been very happy with the place from the start BUT lately they have begun nickel and diming the ticket. For example, my daughter used to always order from the griddle 2 Belgium waffles for 7 bucks, yea, best deal on the menu. They have always added fruit and whip cream, Awesome. Well today it came with a 1.50 up charge for the fruit. Not the end of the world but the menu said, Fruit, included. So I order the Griddle Platter which also comes with Belgium waffles and again I'm just for the fruit. But the real problem was after I ordered the waitress comes over and says, " even though the menu says two sausages and pieces of bacon my Boss says because of the food cost you only get 2 sausages and one bacon. I said OK that's fine BUT if he wants to make that change he needs to change his menu, you can't advertise one thing and then deliver something else. Also, they have large portions but you also have the option of a half order, I made the mistake of not saying half order and bought my wife a chief salad to go that cost me 17 bucks. Our waitress Violet was outstanding, very attentive to our needs and tons of personality. I will definitely be back because it's our favorite spot but will definitely ask more questions

I went to Conifer last month for an art event and come here for some breakfast. They were really good and flavorful. My partner and I had a few different dishes and they were all good. I don't think you can go wrong getting anything here. The servers were really nice and attentive. I had more pictures of the food but lost them.

Had I wonderful little breakfast with my friend. Definitely way too much food. Service was amazing. Thanks Cassidy!

Fantastic! Service was quick and friendly. The inside was clean and inviting. The green chili was just the right amount of spice and super flavorful. I had the half order tamale and green chili so yummy and fresh. Definitely a go to for breakfast.

I'm glad I stopped here on my way down the mountain. The service was very quick and friendly. The restaurant had plenty of seating. I ordered a toasted turkey sub with Swiss. I was very impressed, sometimes in these little mountian towns, you never know what to expect. My sandwich was a good 8", a fresh roll, shredded lettuce (my absolute favorite on sandwiches) and Italian sandwich dressing and I think there was even a little bit of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top do the lettuce as a garnish..maybe? It was delicious! I ate the whole thing and probably should have skipped dinner. Now I know I can come back to this cafe and have a pleasant meal. I think next time I'll order a side of fries, seems like the appropriate thing to do in a cafe like this

We just sat at our table for 45 minutes (after ordering) only to be told that our ticket was misplaced and our food would still be another 15-20 minutes. We got zero apology and our server acted as if we were wrong to get up and walk out. I now have a hangry toddler and no lunch to feed her. This place is everything that is wrong with dining out in Conifer. Staff are apathetic and outright hostile when things go wrong. Save yourself the time & money and go elsewhere.

Stopped for lunch at 11am, Outstanding! Had the Club and Rubin sandwiches with fries and potato salid. While watching they were still serving breckast items from kitchen we will be back for breckfast. Every plate looked gery good. Good friendly service. Clean restrooms.

Gave this place two chances and was not impressed at all. The bottled water was warm, not even room temperature. The food is mediocre at best. I ordered the bacon and avocado eggs Benedict and they didn't include the bacon and the flavors were lacking...retirement home seasoning. The next time, I tried a sandwich thinking there's no way to mess this up and it again didn't have the right ingredients listed on the menu. I'd rather drive all the way to Denver for breakfast.

Very friendly staff. . . Food was not good at all. Flavor and "texture" were completely off for the waffles and the pancakes. French Toast was okay. Eggs were watery and lacking flavor. Bacon was over powered by the black pepper. Hash browns were edible but again severely lacking in flavor.

During our mountain road trip, we stopped here for Breakfast. It was Excellent!!! Between the four of us we shared a Denver Omelet, a Veggie Omelet and Skillet breakfast. Large portions and everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. We also shared an order of their Donut Holes. Soooo Goood!! They also give you three different dipping sauces with the order. My granddaughter gobbled them up!!! This was our first time here and I would drive up from Denver again in a heartbeat! Even with the price of gasoline!! Also, service was excellent!! Personable and our coffee and waters were never empty. That is a plus now days. So I give this little spot a thumbs up

If you like to come in after a nice hike and wait over 45 minutes for your overpriced, mediocre food, while staring at an empty coffee cup, this is your place. This was even more fun since we had our young son with us. After 45 minutes, our server finally noticed that we hadn't received our food - this will give you an indication of how frequently we received service. As it turns out, they forgot to put in our order, made some lame excuse about "waiting for the cheese to melt" that was clearly belied by the massive numbers of cheese covered dishes being brought to people who arrived after us, and then did not even offer a discount. We waited so long that we were unable to eat at the restaurant. Obviously, they care more about making money than their customers. It's been a long time since I went to a place this all-around terrible. We won't be back.

Terrific breakfast: the southern fried steak was perfect, biscuits and pancakes were great. Outstanding, friendly service. I'm already looking for an excuse to come back.

We ordered Tommys sub sandwiches from Conifer Cafe. We had the Philly Cheesesteak and the French dip. Both were good. Not great! Would maybe try them again. Called the order in. They told me 20 minutes. I arrived at 25 minutes and they were just starting the order. Friendly service.

Bloody marys. Jalapeno elk sausage, stop in here if you want the best breakfast available in conifer/evergreen area. Incredible ometes and poached eggs, Great wait staff. Thanks Whitney

The food is okay. I am local and will probably not be back. Didn't receive great service or great food. Average at best.

Not a good experience, sat there for 50 minutes, turns out the server forgot to put in our order, and actually forgot about us completely - we had to walk up at one point to get drink refills - and after all that, a grudging 10% off with little apology. Oh, and one of the orders was wrong, but we were stuck with it at that point.

Generally the best bacon on the face of the earth. Prices are competitive and portions are generous and waitstaff are friendly and highly professional. Kitchen staff are very professional as well. Generally go at least once a month and have only done breakfast. Have to give lunch a try.

Service was reasonably good. Food product was horrible except for the bacon! Coffee was $3.49 a cup and was just brown hot water. Eggs were out of the microwave on a menu item priced at $13 Update: changing my review from two stars to one because owner/management has sent hostile messages about my review. Avoid this place and do not support!

Healthy options, fresh fare. Great for vegans and vegetarian options. Yummy healthy comfort foods like homemade soups and sandwiches.

This place has been fun for years! I think they've changed owners and it's a little different then previously but the food is great! It's the mountain, so expect to have to enjoy your tables company for a few minutes until your food arrives. I know this is difficult for you city people, but, try patience out.. it's worth it.

Had the veggie omelette/ hash browns and my husband had French toast, eggs,and bacon. The food was all very good but the kitchen was slow and there weren't very many customers. With current staffing in the mountains, you have to expect a wait

We stopped here after a hike. Had a Bloody Mary which was pretty average. The donut holes were pretty good. The BEST part of the breakfast is they cook the hashbrowns in bacon grease and they were fantastic!! So flavorful and addicting, definitely better than anywhere else! Everything else was pretty good. If your ever in the area, definitely give this place a try!

I just returned from eating here. Even a dish as simple as biscuits and gravy is not successful if you undercook the biscuits. Live in the area. Will not return.

So happy to find this place driving to and from denver from the mountains. Literally my family each had their perfect meal - kids and adults alike had everything they wanted. Husband a sandwich from the deli, I got amazing breakfast and my boys got delicious burgers. Great service and employees, so happy to support amazing restaurants like this. Can't wait to come back - and that Bloody Mary!!

Nice local diner. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Easy to order and delicious food!!! I ordered the pulled pork tacos and they were delightfully tasty! Flour tortilla crisped to perfection and the pico de gallo had just a hint of spice. I would highly recommend trying this place, I'm sure their other meals are just as great!
