My friend Laura and I hadn’t seen each other in a while because she now lives outside of Colorado for the most part. We decided on the Buff for lunch, which I like to go to because their food has been really really fresh and tasty and always presented very artfully and beautiful. And the service is always warm and inviting. Today, although our server was friendly, he was also brisk and to the point, which is OK but he did come to our table asking if we were ready several times which got to be a bit annoying. He also called me dear, which I don’t really appreciate these days. Perhaps it’s my age. Or perhaps it’s because I don’t like strangers acting as if they know me really well when they don’t. Laura and I both ended up ordering the exact same thing: chili (the chili that’s not spicy and it has meat in it) and salad and the plate comes with homemade corn chips that are thick and pretty yummy tasting. The price was right at $10 for a meal that was not too much food or too little food. It was kind of like the three bears idea where the quantity was just enough. I will definitely go back because I do like their food quite a bit there, their service and when you sit in the side room, it’s quieter and feels rather intimate in the booth.

Relaxed atmosphere. Great variety in menu - breakfast and lunch for options of all kinds of diets… including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Service fast and friendly. Food is exceptional - there were three of us and we all remarked on how delicious it was. Highly recommended.

Some of the best breakfast food we have had in the US! Coffees were delicious, fresh squeezed orange juice and sourdough with a side of avocado was so yummy! We split the fruit platter and it was so yummy and fresh! The bacon and French toast were also divine! Good vibes and great service! A wonderful breakfast date or family outing!

Super busy, but turnover was so fast. Waited approximately 10 min during brunch time on a Sunday. Our server was attentive, helped us with the menu and gave us suggestions. The food came out incredibly quick and delicious!! Would definitely go back if i was local.

My mom and I were visiting Colorado from East Tennessee and we decided to stop here for brunch. Our server Natalie was incredible and so sweet. She was very attentive and welcoming. Coming from a southern gal, their biscuits and gravy are 10/10. My mom loved her omelette and the breakfast potatoes. We shared the white buffalo cakes, and oh my god, & I wish I could find those in TN. A great experience all around!!
