    This place has my new favorite corned beef hash! Flavorful chunks of corned beef, crispy and perfectly seasoned potatoes, with bonus bacon mixed in—flawless.

    Gluten free pancakes are amazing and don’t pass up on them. Food is good price for brunch and location has limited seating on weekends. I would definitely come back to this place as its better than Syrup if you know that place or vibe.

    Love the delicious and creative foods they have here :-). Also a good combination of some vegetarian stuff and some meaty stuff. Best brunch place in town in my opinion. Also a great private pods for outdoor eating, many of them are heated. Others have solar heating :-). Also a great windbreaker.

    First time here, we were greeted as soon as we entered the doors. We were seated within seconds. My husband and I had the chicken and waffles, and they exceeded our expectations! By far the best chicken N Waffles ! Friendly service, and delicious food, what more can you ask for. Thank you so much! We arrived around 8:30, and it was not busy at all. My advise, arrive early to beat the morning rush. Towards 9:45 am it got busy.

    For breakfast, this place is the SPOT. The menu has something for everyone with so many options, and consideration of healthy diets too. The staff is very knowledgeable on the breakfast items and make excellent recommendations. The coffee is superb, the food… it makes your taste buds explode. Highly impressed and think this is a place you should visit if you’re from out of town like us!

    Best breakfast in Boulder! Love the drink menu too. Get there early on weekends to avoid the wait.

    Great service from the host and servers, nice dining atmosphere, food came out quickly, and reasonable food prices! Definitely an awesome place for brunching. We couldn’t decide on the Pear French toast or the Strawberry and Banana waffle and the server said we could do half orders so we went with that but I think we misunderstood what he meant and got a plate of half pear and half strawberry french toast. It was totally okay though since it was still delicious.

    Best brunch in Boulder after living her me a year! Fresh made in house OJ and lots of gluten free options! We got there early 9am on a weekend and got the last available table.

  • 4/5 Aislinn M. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was good, a little bland but fixable, but with the added fee the price was really high for what we got compared to other restaurants in the area. We were the only ones in the restaurant for most of our breakfast. There is a time limit suggested on a sign on the table for some reason, which came across as rude to me. Place was clean and had gorgeous flowers and plants all around. I had a decent experience overall but likely won’t go here again.

  • 3/5 Brent P. 9 months ago on Google
    The food here is generally well made but I think the portion sizes and loading up cheap sides vs main courses is my biggest complaint. Had the special omelet this weekend and it was good but with no sides it was not enough food for the price.

  • 5/5 VpV 9 months ago on Google
    Very good place to grab some breakfast! I got there around 10 am and place was half empty. By 11 it was full, I would recommend showing up earlier, at least that is what I’ll do next time:) Anyway; got a Vegetable 🥗burrito, Bloody Mary and a coffee. Everything was great, very tasty! Highly recommended!

    Good food and service. But... Mandatory 3% service fee for kitchen staff? Fee might be understandable if their prices were below market average, but that's not the case. Prices at Tangerine equal or exceed competitors. I'm exhausted from tacked-on fees. Dislike being nickel-and-dimed. I'm voting with my wallet. Won't return.

  • 4/5 Chase M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. I come here a couple times a year. One thing that really irks me is the surprise 8% kitchen fee added when you receive your bill. Don't charge fees, Tangerine. It makes customer feel taken advantage of. Just bump all your prices by 8% and give that to the kitchen out of all food sales. Other than that, good atmosphere and diverse menu. Great coffee, too.

    The best fresh orange juice, Ricky was our server and he was amazing. Thank you for the great food and service

    We came to Tangerine seeing great reviews and we were not disappointed. Food was great and service was fantastic. We will definitely come back when in town again.

  • 5/5 Janis S. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been a favorite brunch place of mine for years! Best food, always fresh with lots of gluten free and vegetarian options and great service. We were visiting Boulder from Portland a few weeks ago and this was the highlight of our dining out experiences!

  • 5/5 Joel R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Great patio and chill inside. Chicken and Waffles are amazing as is the Sausage Burrito. My wife loves the vegan (she's not vegan) and we both occasionally go for a Benedict dish, of which they have a great variety. Best brunch in Boulder imo.

  • 5/5 jennifer w. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite breakfasts in Boulder. I had the veggie Benedict with walnut pesto and it was divine - perfectly poached eggs and so filling yet light - I paired it with a Chardonnay which not my usual lunch but it was delicious. And shout out to the host and waiter they were delightful and welcoming I always appreciate this generosity of spirit in the world we live in. You guys made my day.

    I will preface this review by saying we went to Tangerine while COVID-19 restrictions were still in full effect. We were greeted fairly quickly by a friendly hostess. We waited just a couple minutes to be seated outside. My only complaints regarding our Tangerine interaction regard the outdoor seating. First, the table we were sat at had a considerable lean due the to the lopsided sidewalk underneath. That's not necessarily Tangerine's fault but it recommend eliminating tables that can't be placed on flat or nearly flat ground. Second, we had breakfast around 10ish and the sun rose quickly and they hadn't put their umbrellas out yet. We were literally baking. Thankfully, our waitress (I feel horrible that I've forgotten her name) was awesome and brought over the umbrella when she realized how heavily the sun was beating down. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and our food came out quickly considering they appeared pretty busy. I had the Chicken & Waffles and a side of Corned Beef Hash, both of which are Tangerine specialties. The food was great! I love a good Corned Beef Hash and Tangerine's didn't disappoint. In all honesty, it may be the best CBH I've ever had! I definitely recommend Tangerine! My overall gripes are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things but were worth mentioning with regard to the total experience.

    A great cafe. Mimosas and bellinis to start. Breakfast itself was fresh and delicious. Friendly and efficient server.

  • 5/5 Travis B. 3 years ago on Google
    We loved it! Drove up from Thornton Because we were sick of takeout and heard they offered private pods. Food and service was great also. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Ryan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on a Thursday morning and had an excellent experience! If your looking for a great local brunch spot this is it. We got BLR pancakes and the pear French toast and both were amazing! Some of the best breakfast we have had in Boulder. They also have a great coffee bar
