Columbine Cafe

The portions were perfectly oversized and you will not leave disappointed or with an empty stomach. The food was extremely good for all of us. The star of the table was the corn beef hash, it was made with real shredded corned beef (not canned or store bought). The drinks were all very good and more than anything it was extremely reasonably priced. We will for sure visit them again if we are ever in Breckenridge. Finally the service was homey and friendly.

The restaurant is a bit worn down and old-school, with cracked booth cushions and plastic cups. But, it has a great gem — the corned beef hash! It is delicious, with at least half of it being made up of their corned beef. The eggs that come with it are buttery and scrambled well — stiff but not dry. Also, the portions of everything are huge! If you come in hoping for a standard diner breakfast with excellent hash, you will be very pleased! I’m giving them a 5-star for this meal alone (and likely anything with the corned beef). I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but the corned beef hash is worth a visit! The biggest improvement spot is the biscuits — they are very bready and not worth eating.

Expected more after reading the reviews. The food was okay. The French toast tasted like soft bread no hints of cinnamon, nutmeg or a good batter being used to make it. The eggs Benedict looked beautiful but were not super flavorful. The grits come (as in most breakfast spots) without seasoning so add salt and butter if you order them. The other items were good but I would have been surprised if they weren't: the bacon, sausage link and a fried egg for example.. This location has one thing, good pricing in a tourist ski town.

We visited January 2022 . Food was delicious!! Service Was great and quick.The wait to get seated was terrible! But we did not call ahead or had a reservation and we arrived at the peak of breakfast rush , we did not find a lot of places open for breakfast at that time , when we return I will definitely call and make a reservation.
