Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable breakfast and brunch restaurants around Colorado Springs, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to venture when cravings strike.
1. Mountain Shadows Restaurant
Topping the list is Mountain Shadows Restaurant. Located at 2223 W. Colorado Ave. in Old Colorado City, it is the highest-rated inexpensive breakfast and brunch restaurant in Colorado Springs, boasting 4.5 stars out of 673 reviews on Yelp.
We found this about the business's signature items: "Homemade green chili, huge pancakes and always excellent service," it notes on its Yelp page.
2. Monica's Taco Shop
Next up is Monica's Taco Shop, situated at 5829 Palmer Park Blvd. With four stars out of 107 reviews on Yelp, it has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option.
Yelper Cindy O., who reviewed Monica's Taco Shop on Oct. 5, wrote, "These tacos are so good and so cheap. I absolutely love it."
And Alyona K. wrote, "Their breakfast burritos are to-die-for. They are huge, well over a pound each, and the price is between $4 and $6. They use huge homemade tortillas that are buttery and flakey, the steak is very tender and the scrambled eggs inside are not overcooked. The green chili is fairly mild but very flavorful."
3. Loyal Coffee
Central Colorado Springs' Loyal Coffee, located at 408 S. Nevada Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the restaurant 4.5 stars out of 204 reviews.
Yelper Sloan S., who reviewed the spot on Sept. 11, wrote, "The cranberry lavender latte was beautiful and I actually loved the flavor. The ricotta and pear toast was the perfect size for a light bite and had a great balance of sweetness. The bread and ricotta were so fresh, and the honey drizzle plus a dash of cinnamon really topped it off."
And Natasha A. wrote, "The coffee they are serving up is phenomenal. I also really appreciate that they have food beyond just pastries, and it's all quite yummy."
4. La Baguette
La Baguette, a French cafe downtown, is another much-loved, budget-friendly go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 86 Yelp reviews. Head over to 117 E. Pike Peak Ave. to see for yourself.
Yelper Kris P., who reviewed La Baguette on Oct. 30, wrote, "My husband and I went here for breakfast and I enjoyed their quiche. The baguette was freshly made."
Queen Of S. wrote, "The breakfast croissant sandwich was enormous... and the cream cheese croissant is decadent. We could have probably split these given the generous portions. So yummy."
