Great, massive patio overlooking Strawberry Creek. Tasty brews of course, but also delicious, filling food options like burgers, fish & chips, nachos, and more. Family friendly for lunch + early dinner and a more lively social crowd on weekend nights.

Great breakfast + light lunch. Vegan/vegetarian breakfast options include one of the best breakfast burritos we've had + giant vegan cinnamon rolls. Good lattes, too. A nice outdoor area and small enclosed porch for indoor dining. Across from Idyllwild Gardens, so you can pick up a new succulent while you're at it.

Awesome pizza (and other Italian dishes, but we can only vouch for the pizza). Includes vegan options with a house-made cheese that melts perfectly. Great patio with heaters.

Now called Alpaca Brunch Cafe - same family as the former long-standing Mile High and same owners as the adjacent (and our fave) coffee shop, Alpaca. Casual, friendly spot with great breakfast / brunch options. Kid friendly, dog-friendly outside and vegetarian/vegan friendly, too. You can order lattes from OG Alpaca on the restaurant side too. :)
