Aspen Perk Cafe

It’s 4:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday and I’ve called 3 times and no one answers their phones. Their Facebook page shows they’re open til 8pm. Are they still in business?

We are new to the area and stopped in for dinner (new late hours) — it was REALLY good. My husband had a burger with habenaro dill and bacon and I had the Reuben — and as a Reuben snob it was one of the best I’ve had. The service was friendly and as good as the food. We will be back — a lot! As a side note, their breakfast burritos are also top notch!

Service is always good to us! Free mimosa for mothers day :) they are making a lot of positive changes, give them a try!

Aspen Perk Café at Conifer Colorado provided a delicious hearty breakfast for our party of four. The pancakes were perfect and the Conifer Caveman was conquered. All around excellent meal and good service, will definitely come again.

Their White Aspen Delight coffee is delish! I think it is best when served there rather than ordering to go… Mainly because with to go coffee it’s always hard to get the right ratio of whip cream every sip… Or any at all

Blandest breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Tasted like they just opened a can of stokes and dumped it on top. It’s Colorado people. Learn how to make some green Chile

Meh. The food was okay. I ate a turkey club and added tots. The waitress told me it would be a dollar extra for tots. I thought that was a good deal and beat a side of slaw. The bacon I microwave in the mornings tastes better than what was in my sandwich.
What frustrated me the most was the «up charge» for swapping cheeses (the waitress did not tell me about this) and tots costing a two dollars, not one.
I love breakfast and the menu looked great, but I’m really not interested in going back and getting charged for every substitution I make.

The food here is disgusting. The potatoes at breakfast are never cooked enough. They meal sizes are pathetic for the prices. And 12 dollar breakfast comes with one piece of toast cut in half and 2 pieces of bacon we 3 lbs of hard undercooked potatoes. The older lady always gets so offended when we complain the food is gross. I can honestly say it’s the worst breakfast place I’ve ever been to. The biscuits and gravy is anything but homemade like the menu implies. Don’t waste your money here.

We went to Starbucks for some hang out time. It was packed. literally no where to park. So, we decided to get breakfast at Aspen Perk Café. Well, their full breakfast menu was no longer available. Which was a bummer. The Habanero bacon burger sounded just about right. The waiter warned that it was «hot.» (LOL). You all know me. The waiter. Oh my. Nice kid. Just not very good waiter skills. Barely said a word and never ever talked about anything else they offered on the menu. There were yummy flavors on a board, but we had not idea what they were for. Where they desserts? Shakes? If I had known I may have ordered something else. In fact, when we were done, he just brought us over the check. *Sigh The owner came by and raved about her food. Of course she did. I was having high hopes. The very first BAD sign was we weren’t asked how we wanted our hamburger cooked. Our guess, is it was going to be well done. Yup. Not the way we like it, but at least it wasn’t raw. The presentation was pretty. I didn’t like that they used American Cheese (probably the cheapest). I’m not a huge fan. The bun seemed old. They did toast it, but it didn’t hide that it was dry and crunchy (like old, not toasted). The hamburger «sauce» was about as spicy as my two-​day old salsa (you know spice mellows out after time). So, it was spicy and I can see how for some it would be VERY hot. It was tasty (probably because of the spice, because the meat wasn’t juicy or anything special), but nothing fabulous. I ordered another Habanero and the chef in all his wisdom just put three whole peppers in a bowl. Really? Frustrating. I did chop one up and put it on my hamburger. Now, that was HOT! Yum. The few fries we got were way overcooked and thin. Zero spices, yup not even salt. It was like eating small pieces of cardboard. I want to give it another shot just because the owner told us about the Bloody Marys. I’m looking at the picture below of one, and it doesn’t look anything like she described it. ??? In fact, none of the pictures here look appealing. Well we will see.

I think this might be the worst restaurant I have ever been to. We waited 40 minutes after ordering our appetizers, only to receive 2 plates full of uncooked potatoes (1 order of loaded tots and 1 order of potato skins). Then our meal came out, all the French fries were burnt on the outside and uncooked on the inside. The hamburgers were literally pouring out grease. I asked for raw onions instead of grilled onions, but received grilled onions with the promise of raw onions later, which never arrived. Every time our waitress refilled our sodas, she mixed up the diet and regular sodas so we had to play musical chairs with our sodas, to figure out who got what. One of us ordered a salad that was basically iceberg with a few pieces of fruit that still had pits in it. Overall, there were 5 of us ordering food and everything was inedible. Don’t even try going here, unless you want to sit there for 2 hours unable to eat anything.

They make an awesome blood Mary, and the service is spot on. My husband had waffles, and I had biscuits, gravy, and eggs. Everything was great EXCEPT the gravy is kinda weird… its translucent-​ish, and it weirded me out. It didn’t taste awful, but it wasn’t what I wanted out of country gravy. Other than that, we’ll be back (just no gravy next time)!!

Nice place, great patio and pup friendly.
The food is great, decent (bottle) beer selection. Not a bad place for a bite, but don’t expect it to be quick…
But worth the wait? Definitely. The food was very good and very generously portioned. We all ate half of our meals and are excited for the second half this evening.
Mom’s Pastrami was perfect. Delicious pastrami, onions grilled to perfection, the perfectly complementing Dijon mustard, pickles on grilled bread. Very, very good.
The black and blue and bacon burger was a beast, but worth every bite. Home fries were crispy but not overbooked, perfect to soak up the juices from the mid-​rare beef. Awesome.
The service is lacking. We never saw the people next to us but their salad endured our stay in the hot sun. The only other table there while we sat on the patio had plenty of scraps left for the pup on the way out. But the food is worth the wait, so bring some time, enjoy the mountain air (with the pup!), and enjoy some five star food and ambiance with two star service.

We waited for more than an hour for breakfast. Service is very slow and unorganized. Some people who come before us are still waiting for their food. And people who came after us they got their food before us. Seniors and ppl with kids gets the priority, which is great but it doesn’t mean I have to wait 1.30 mins to see my food.
The food is not so good, my order is messed up. Looks like there is a serious flaw with the management and coordination between the waiters & kitchen staff. After almost an hour the waitress started coming to our table and was apologizing for the delay. Her reasoning was that there some large tables in front of you so you are delayed.
Anyway the worse ever breakfast and brunch restaurant I have ever dined in. Will not come back.
I pity those college kids who ordered at 11 am when we walked in and got their food after 12.30pm after us.

This place has potential to be great but easily falters at its lack of organization and execution. First of all the breakfast is ten times better than the dinner served here. The alcoholic beverages are pretty good, but sadly the fun stops there. Today we were greeted by a lady who looked stressed. The patio was full but only had one guest inside, and one other server. Additionally, I always order the Aspen perk breakfast which included a bit of everything. This has eggs, toast, pancakes, and breakfast meat of your choice.
They brought out a smaller menu all of which included these ingredients and we ordered at 11:33 and they change their menu at 1130. I requested this menu item and was told they were unable to make it because the items were already put away. Annoyed I ordered all the same things a LA carte and they had no issue making that for me.
No creamer or sugar offered for coffee. The mere fact that as a customer, I have more awareness of their menu is sad.
Don’t buy the «fresh nachos» you’ll pay $ 15 for all the toppings that SHOULD be on nachos. These nachos are chips from a bag with microwaved melted cheese and very sparse toppings on them.
We got there at –11:33 we got our meal at 12:16. It’s 12:29 and we’re leaving now after having no water or condiments brought to us. The waitress was doing the best she could. Between the lady with red hair yelling at her and the mounds of people coming in, she did all she could do.
This place is nice for a quick drink but if you require any attention or want a well put together meal this is not the place.

The people are nice, but the service is something else. We came in asked for patio seating, the hostess said its available but needed to be bussed. Then a group of 4 behind me asked the same and got the same answer. Waited… no updates… the group of 4 walks to patio so I just follow and there were many tables open. Wthell?
Then that same group gets menus, waters, drinks, and food ordered, and during that whole 20mins we STILL have not even got menus! I had to flag the girl down for menus and water… i was pretty annoyed at this point.
After all this… we get our food ordered and its taking an unusually long time for it to come out. A family of 5 was seated next to us about 40mins after we ordered and we see all of them get their food but NOTHING has been served to us YET!!! I had to flag the girl down again and ask her where our food was, which we ordered almost an hour ago. She seems confused and says she will check. She doesn’t come back… And then food comes out. They obviously put in the order when i asked… Wow.
My mom had ordered a breakfast sandwich, cut into it and a WHITE HAIR comes stringing out YUCK!!! Good thing she cut into it, instead of picking it up and biting into it. I immediately find our waiter and tell him, he comes apologizes, takes it, and says he will get a new one. We are STILL charged for it!!! This new order took 5−10mins, which shows they didn’t put in our order the first time. Nice people, service is no good, food is not very good, but at least my dog was allowed in the patio. I don’t think we will be returning again.

Well that was a disappointing lunch experience. The food was bland and the service was so. We waited so long for our food we actually had to get up and badger the wait staff to see where is was. Unfortunately it was not worth waiting for.
The one saving grace was that their Chai is delicious but even then there was so much ice my ice Chai that I was left wanting more liquid.
On a side note the rest rooms are also a bit run down and grease smoke from the kitchen permeates the dining area.
Needless to say. I won’t be going back there.

The breakfast burrito is amazing! Their roasted potatoes have tons of flavor. Coffee is so so. I’d go back for the burrito.

Had lunch today really good except the coleslaw was dry and the service was little slow

Since moving to town, I really wanted to try this cute little café. I dined there for a late breakfast recently, and my experience was interesting.
Upon entrance, I thought the café was really cutely decorated and inviting. A server greeted me at the door and immediately sat me down. The owner was sitting in the back corner of the restaurant with her computer and paperwork sprawled out on a table, taking personal and business phone calls while being extremely loud. As customers entered the restaurant, instead of getting up herself to greet them, she barked, «FRONT DOOR!» to her extremely busy staff each time.
My server was very attentive and sweet. Apparently she is new to the job because the owner pulled her aside and spend about 20 minutes reprimanding her on how she can improve being a waitress. She was extremely loud and condescending, to the point where the whole restaurant heard. It was completely unacceptable that she had that conversation in the middle of the restaurant like that. I personally grew up in restaurants, and I have never experienced something like that. You always want to take your staff aside, away from customers if you have any issues or performance concerns. How humiliating.
I ordered a veggie omelet and a coffee. The omelet had no flavor or seasoning and was extremely dry. I paid $ 18.00 plus tip for a coffee and an omelet, definitely way too expensive for the quality of food you get.
I really wanted to like you, Aspen Perk… but, you really left a bad taste in my mouth, literally.

Would not go back. Makes me sad because it is so close. Had the pesto eggs puff pastry. It was lukewarm and the special sauce (looked like hollandaise) was congealed and still cool from being recently taken out of the fridge. My cup of fruit had rotting brown grapes and pineapple in it along with old cantaloupe. There is no way the server didn’t notice. We paid for all and tipped well. Just made a note to not go back. If I could, I’d upload a picture of the fruit. With safeway next door, there is no reason they didn’t use fresh fruit. Just wondering how many people were served that fruit too. Sad to say, but that was the most disgusting restaurant meal I’ve had in a very long time.
