potatoes covered with cheese and onions with two basted eggs on top. This dish can
make your morning amazing when paired with sourdough toast and iced tea.
Janie’s Cafe 3.5/5
Janie’s characterizes the charm of small-town Americana establishments with its central
location in the heart of Longmont's historic district. The food is typical diner fare, with
plenty of staples served in a reliable yet traditional manner. The dishes served are
satisfactory, but variety is not the name of the game here, with the exception of Colorado
favorite green chile. All in all, Janie’s is the perfect spot to bring your grandparents to
tuck into large plates of no-frills breakfast.
City Cafe 5/5
City Cafe may be a recent opening, but the restaurant is quickly becoming notable on
Longmont’s breakfast and brunch scene. The owners and staff are humble yet willing to
go beyond to please their clientele. Homemade bread, perfects Eggs Benedict, and
pan-fried pancakes all combine with its charming atmosphere located next to the
Danish Furniture store to create an all-star breakfast. Its appeal to our city’s older crowd
may make us high schoolers apprehensive, but don’t be afraid--your taste buds will
thank you later.
IHOP 2/5
Longmont is packed full of amazing and delicious local breakfast places (as you’ve seen
above). You would simply be doing your community a
disservice if you gave in to the tacky advertisements
IHOP inundates your TV with. The countless options of
flavored pancakes they offer are disgusting, not to
mention unhealthy. Paired with watery coffee and
buttery eggs this breakfast could be the bane of all
mornings. The only reason IHOP gets a ⅖ is because I
have a soft spot for crispy hashbrowns.
Two Dog Diner 4/5
Hipsters rejoice--there's a joint here in town that caters to you! Two Dog Diner is
located in the trendy Prospect township, with a nouveau style of mid-century interiors
that scream hip but not snobby. A variety of vegetarian options and fresh ingredients
make this new Dog on the block one to visit.
While not all of these restaurants get 5/5, Breakfast gets a 5/5 for being the best meal of
the day. Nothing is better than waking up and remembering that the first thing you get
