This place is spectacular. Incredible service and incredible food. Take a day and make the trek. Hands-down the best chile that I have ever had. The spot is charming and truly neat to boot.

Fun little breakfast diner in Milliken. Basically everything on the walls/shelves is for sale. Fun antiques and trinkets to look at while enjoying some yummy breakfast. The beignets are SO good!

Between all of us at the table, we tried the beignets, Denver omelette, breakfast burrito, eggs, and pancakes and the odd man out had a BLT and fries. Everything was really good!
