Walnut Cafe - Boulder

The Walnut Cafe (and their other location) are really popular and they do have lots of vegan options like tempeh, tofu scramble, potatoes, soy cheese, Earth Balance and meatless sausage (make sure you get the vegan sausage because they have a vegetarian version that has eggs in it) .. .. but to me, it 's just ok. The tofu scramble is just giant cubes of un seasoned tofu you have to smash it up with your fork if you like the scramble texture and even then there 's no real flavour since tofu is tasteless. You can add veggies to lots of things though. The tempeh is better as a potato/scramble hash option but the breakfast potatoes are also big chunks of potato that have the texture of boiled potatoes even though they are nicely spiced. They use some kind of soy cheese here that I don 't care for. I 'll only go here if omni family or friends really really want to go. Updated from previous review on 2017 07 26

Ask us! We've got many great vegan options that aren't listed on the menu. Some of my favorites are: Fish Tacos sub tempeh for the fish and 86 sour cream. The salsa 13 is to die for! Gotta get a side of guacamole too. #7 sandwich 86 cream cheese and add Dijon mustard. Be warned though, many breads are not vegan. Try the rosemary olive oil focaccia. Sautéed veggies are available as a side, and are an awesome mix of spinach, artichoke, roasted red pepper, tomato, mushroom, and red onion. Substitute tofu or tempeh for egg in any dish and ask for soy cheese. Potatoes are vegan and can make a great base for a scramble with the sautéed veggies. Add some ranchero salsa and guacamole, and you've got one fantastic vegan, soy-free meal. Nowhere on the menu is broccoli listed, but we've got it! Ask and you shall receive.

We’ve been coming to Walnut Cafe for months every single weekend with our learning pup, Otis, and the staff has always been accommodating, oh so sweet, and loving to our little hand full! Outside of that, the food is phenomenal, the service is elite, and everyone that dines there as well are friendly, kind, and it’s just all around good vibes. Definitely a spot to check out if you’re local to Boulder or visiting!

A cute little cafe with both indoor as well as outdoor seating available. Breakfast and lunch is served all day. Great options for vegans/vegetarians. We ordered a vegan sloppy joe and heart melt. Both were great. The side of potatoes is amazing and is a must try if you like potatoes. I also ordered a hazelnut latte which was quite good.

I had breakfast at the Walnut Cafe today because it was the pick up point for my day tour. The outside seating was lovely. My server Jack was attentive and so helpful when I asked for his food suggestions. He recomended the South Side omlette. I followed his advise, and I could not be more satisfied. Fresh, flavorful ingredients. The best french toast of my trip as a side was perfect. Also, get the blueberry cornbread. They also have a full coffee bar. I got the Walnutty Latte (many nut flavors) and it was so good! 10/10 recommend this place.
