The 10 Best Breakfast Spots In Colorado Springs

The Egg & I is a diner offering creative breakfasts Parisian style – two toasted croissants topped with country ham and hollandaise sauce. If you are a picky breakfast eater, rest assured there will be something for you at this establishment, where you can create your own omelet or frittata. The Egg & I also offer a menu for folks trying to watch their weight, so don’t worry – your healthy breakfast won’t mean you miss out on flavor.

Get the Cinnamon Roll at Sandy’s before you get anything else, and wait to see if you are still hungry afterwards. This small town diner may look a bit run down from the outside, but inside the cooks make amazing, huge cinnamon rolls that you won’t want to miss out on. Sandy’s also offers a wide range of breakfast classics, all with a homemade feel.

At Kings Chef Diner, every order comes with a side of nostalgia. This diner has been operating since 1956 and hasn’t changed much, which is great news for guests. The breakfast menu features four or five speciality items, and one of our favorites is ‘The Grump,’ a breakfast dish that looks like a sandwich made of hash browns. It’s cheesy, it’s eggy, and it’s a great way to start the day.

Mountain Shadows is one of the quaintest restaurants in Colorado Springs. Located in a converted townhouse, Mountain Shadows serves up breakfast classics like french toast, pancakes, eggs and hash browns. If you are a fussy eater, then Mountain Shadows is the place for you, as the staff can fry your hash browns golden brown, extra crispy, a bit soft, or practically any way you’d like them. Mountain Shadows also has a few Mexican dishes on the menu, so try them out if you aren’t interested in pancakes or omelets.

Urban Steam is actually a coffee shop, but they serve such creative and delicious waffles that we couldn’t leave them off of this list. They have some sweet waffles like the Monkey Wrench, topped with bananas, nutella, and caramel, as well as some savory waffles. Try the Caprese, a basil pesto waffle on fresh spinach topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, olive tapenade, and a balsamic reduction. Also, Urban Steam does serve great coffee with beans from around the world, and what better drink is there to go with Urban Steam’s one of a kind waffle?
