Egg Harbor Cafe brings nearly four decades of breakfast expertise to Highlands Ranch at 9579 S University Blvd. This family-owned Chicago institution, founded in 1985, has grown to 27 locations across the Midwest and is now expanding to Colorado—making this one of the first Egg Harbor Cafes in the Denver metro area.

The Egg Harbor Experience: Known for "fast, friendly service in a modern farmhouse setting," Egg Harbor serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch daily from 7 AM to 2 PM. The menu focuses on made-from-scratch classics with high-quality ingredients—think fluffy pancakes, creative benedicts, hearty skillets, and fresh-squeezed juices.

Menu Highlights: The Traditional Breakfast features eggs any style with Harbor potatoes fried in 100% beef tallow (a signature touch), a buttered English muffin with house jam, and your choice of protein. Omelettes, pancakes, and Belgian waffles round out the classics. The cafe also offers lighter options and lunch items.

Family-Owned Legacy: What started as a single neighborhood cafe in 1985 has remained family-owned and operated for nearly 40 years. That commitment to quality and genuine hospitality is what sets Egg Harbor apart from chain breakfast spots.

The Space: Expect a bright, welcoming atmosphere with farmhouse-inspired design. Counter service keeps things moving quickly, making it ideal for both leisurely brunches and grab-and-go weekday breakfasts.

Opening: Hatching early 2026 at the Highlands Ranch location on S University Blvd.

Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.

The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barella’s bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.

Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.

It’s barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment worth lining up for.
