Fort Collins Breakfast & Brunch

There’s no better way to kick off a weekend in Fort Collins than brunch with friends or family. Whatever the occasion, you can find a Fort Collins breakfast spot that’s just right—whether that’s a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves up lazy Sunday comfort food, an organic farm, a classic diner, a trendy coffee shop, or something only found in Fort Collins. 

Where to Eat

The beauty of a Fort Collins brunch is in its variety! Opt for a meal at family-owned Rainbow Restaurant (where there are plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions), head to La Creperie and French Bakery to satisfy all your sweet cravings, or try out local favorite Lucile’s, serving a New Orleans-inspired menu. 

Although further from the city center, The Farmhouse at Jessup Farms is another of the best breakfast places in Fort Collins, offering farm-to-table brunch on weekends. For a similar vibe closer to Old Town, try Ginger and Baker, where you can chow down on meals like tiramisu french toast, a hearty country breakfast, or baked goods.

Some Fort Collins breakfast restaurants offer special brunches for holidays like Easter and Mother’s Day. Austin’s American Grill puts together a full buffet for Easter, and RARE Italian (usually not open for breakfast) opens early for an Italian-style brunch for the holiday. Treat mom to a special meal on Mother’s Day at Bistro Nautile or The Emporium.
