Lucile's Creole Cafe

This is one of the *best* cafes that I have ever visited. The food, coffee, and service were all outstanding. We were seated as soon as we arrived and received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. My wife and I ordered the "Shrimp and Grits" and "Cajun Breakfast", along with a "Famous Buttermilk Biscuit with Homemade Jam" and a half order of beignets. It all tasted delicious - my only regret is that I felt so full that I couldn't eat any more. The homemade jam and beignets were particularly good.

Really a wonderful experience. I was staying at the Boulderado and looking for a place to get to in the cold weather quickly. Lucille‘s was just a couple blocks away and super warm and cozy when I got there. The food was simply fantastic, well thought out start to finish. Poached eggs were done perfectly. That’s not easy. Homemade flavorful hot sauce and ketchup! The biscuit had more the consistency of coffee cake, moist and wonderful, topped with homemade blueberry jam. But best of all was the wait staff, responsive but also taking the time to welcome and converse. That’s rare. I loved it! Shout out to Shaena who waited on my table. The only recommendation I’d have, and it’s a tiny one, is to have stronger coffee. Can’t wait to bring my wife back!

Came here originally hoping to take two orders of the beignets out. Unfortunately the hostess said that the kitchen was overwhelmed and the only way to try the beignets was to wait to dine-in. We were motivated and did just that. Well, as you can imagine, after a twenty minute wait we were ready to eat lunch and the beignets for dessert. Everything was absolutely amazing! The beignets were out of this world, but so were the other parts of our meal. I got the Eggs Jennifer which was a benedict with avocado. My dining partner got the Carlin Country with a side of bananas and cream. Both meals were huge, leaving us both very full. Service was great, and even though it was very busy, the quality of food was high. I recommend this place to anyone visiting/living in Boulder!

Lucile's Creole Cafe is a longtime favorite. For the last two decades this has been my go-to place in Boulder for a slightly out of the ordinary breakfast. Their dishes and menu has stood the test of time, however the quality of seafood and portion size has not. I was a bit disappointed the last time I ordered shrimp dish to only receive three small shrimp. This could be a supply chain thing, or a result of the pandemic oh, so I will be back!
