Five Arvada, Golden & Wheat Ridge Breakfast Spots We Love

What's Hot in our Town!

By Julie Dikken, Publisher and Editor Arvada & Evergreen Macaroni Kid April 12, 2019

My kids and my husband love to go out to breakfast on a weekend morning. I can't say I often tell them no. 

After all, what’s not to love about breakfast? No matter what kind of breakfast you’re in the mood for -- the sweet or the savory -- you can find it in Arvada, Golden & Wheat Ridge.

Plus … breakfast has bacon!

And don’t even get me started on Bloody Marys!

Hungry for breakfast yet? 

I am! So I've rounded up my family's choices, and with the help of some local colleagues, together we've compiled our top five breakfast spots in the Arvada, Golden & Wheat Ridge areas, along with the reasons why we think they are the best. I've listed them in alphabetical order:


Cafe 13
1301 Arapahoe St, Golden; (303) 278-2225

Hours: Open Sunday through Wednesday 6:30-6pm and Thursday - Sat 6:30-10pm

What we love: Cafe 13 is locally owned and recently remodeled to enlarge the kitchen, add a full bar, and create a better flow and feel for customers. I'm in love with the House Made Biscuits & Gravy and kids are often happy sharing the Waffle Plate.


Global Goods
5613 Olde Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada; (720)389-9030

Hours: Mon - Sat 6:30am-5pm

What we love: With its twofold nature - coffee and global goods - every sip of coffee and every purchase of artisan handicrafts offers you the opportunity to extend your reach globally at Global Goods & Coffee. Specialty coffees along with delicious pastries and breakfast burritos makes for a fun quick (and yummy) breakfast.


Launch Espresso Food & Spirits
18455 W Colfax Ave 101, Golden; (720)506-2119

Hours: Open 7 days a week 6am-8pm

What we love: Launch serves healthy grab-and-go foods, superlative espresso, charcuterie boards and (for later in the day) sips of local spirits after a tough climb or before seeing your favorite Red Rocks band. Item to try: Avocado Toast and First Lift Burrito


Red Silo Coffee Roaster
6590 Holman St. Suite #207, Arvada; (720) 758-9006

Hours: Mon-Fri 6am-5pm, Saturday 7am-5pm, Sunday 7am-3pm

What we love: If you are looking for truly great coffee, Red Silo Coffee Roasters is the place to visit. They proudly serve gluten free baked good and pride themselves with offering the community a cozy gathering place.


Steuben's Arvada
7355 Ralston Rd, Arvada; (303)830-0096

Hours: Open every day at 8am

What we love: Steuben's is a classic cafe with a modern diner flair and the perfect place to sit and relax. My favorite breakfast item is the Lemon Ricotta Pancake and the kids love everything on their special menu - especially the Milk Flight, offering their own fancy tastes of three flavored milks. Must try the Avocado Toast.


Sunrise Sunset
7400 W 38th Ave, Wheat Ridge; (303) 423-8380

Hours: Open 6:30am-2Pm

What we love: Serving up Lakewood’s best since 1984, Sunrise Sunset offers unique breakfast and lunch creations made with fresh ingredients and served with a smile.


Hungry yet? Me too. Time for breakfast.
