A hearty breakfast is the secret to a perfect day in the mountains—whether you’re gearing up for first tracks, a family hike, or a leisurely stroll through town. Our team knows that starting strong means finding the right spot to fuel up, relax, and soak in the local flavor. From cozy cafés serving fresh pastries to bustling diners with big mountain breakfasts, these are our staff’s favorite places to kick off the day before heading out for Colorado adventures.

Yampa Valley Kitchen sources the highest quality local, organic, or sustainable foods and serves it up in a charming renovated house.

Eat in or grab a breakfast sandwich to go on the way to the slopes or the trailhead. Cruiser's is a locally-owned sub shop that is also known for its Acai Bowls.

Steamboat Springs is steeped in tradition, and no place has stood the test of time better than the Shack, which has been serving breakfast since 1969 in the heart of Old Town Steamboat. Dig into a plateful of biscuits & gravy, Huevos Rancheros (Robin's favorite), or the Hobo Special.

Lil' House Country Biscuits is a little bit of North Carolina on the west side of town. And the best biscuits around!
