Mountain Shadows Restaurant 2223 Colorado Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80904

"Mountain Shadows Restaurant is a converted house right on the main street in Old Colorado Springs. It's cozy and comfortable. In warmer weather the restaurant has outdoor seating. Food is delicious with lots of options. I recommend the Alamosa Omelette made with local chorizo and diced peppers. Pro tip: Come early so you can get one of their giant cinnamon rolls. The rolls come in full or half size - a half size is more than enough for two people to share. Pro local tip: Check out the farmer's market across the street every Saturday from June-September."

"After parking on the street, walk in and wait to be seated, at this quaint blue house with wooden floors below tables surrounded by black metal chairs that have wooden seats (close to the floor grain) in Old Colorado City. The white textured walls with gray baseboards, doorframes and window trim, all look freshly painted and are adorned with fun signs: "What if the hokey pokey is what it's all about?" and "I love you more than bacon." Children's menus are available, along with black and wooden highchairs. On the table you will find a metal basket containing syrup, real sugar and sugar alternatives, ketchup, Cholula, salt and pepper. The sink area in the bathroom would use a face-lift, but I love the fun faucet placement (in the corner). The women's bathroom afords two stalls and a changing station; though it is a little tight getting around the carts that home outside the restrooms. A lot of natural light comes in through the bathroom windows and ADA bars are found in the first stall. Our waitress Sarah was wearing a tank that said "Where the L♡cals Eat" ....you pay your server at the table, after a handwritten ticket is presented. From crispy bacon to their well known cinnamon rolls (not as sweet as most cinnamon rolls and big enough to share), go on by with the family, on a date or to enjoy a meal in the corner with a good book."

"Truly love this place. I've been coming here for years and I always find myself coming back for a yummy homestyle breakfast. The green chili is wonderful, they have the best Irish Coffee of any spot in the city, and the service is always friendly. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu- from homemade green chili, biscuits, chocolate chip pancakes, and cinnamon rolls bigger than your head its always a delicious meal. The price for the food is spot on and I always love being here even when it's packed full. Be sure to get a spot super early especially during tourist season. It's true, this is where the locals eat and its worth it!"

"Found this place while traveling! What a great place. The food was excellent! We had breakfast, and their green chilies had true southwestern taste. The cinnamon rolls are insane. Staff was great. When I visit family here again. Definitely a go to!"

"One of our go to spots. Cinnamon rolls are so delicious but, you better get there early before they are gone. Chicken fried steak and eggs is no disappointment either (my go to). Country biscuit is real good as well, matter of fact, I heard it being ordered like 4 times when we were there. Roast beef sandwich is so delicious, my wife is a picky eater and she loves it. BLT turkey wrap with fries is delicious as well. Just remember, this food is cooked to order so have patients."
