Update January 2022: Permanently closed during the pandemic.
The SMWC serves only breakfast and
lunch. I had been here once when it first opened, G had never been, and the two
friends who met us have been a few times. It's a pleasant space with colorful
walls and plenty of natural light, and the patio would be nice on a day when
the wind wasn't blasting through. I have been to both Walnut Cafés in Boulder
many times over the years, and this one has the same menu with a wide variety
of breakfast and lunch options. We met for brunch on a Friday at 11 a.m., and
it started out quiet but was mostly full by the time we left.
Two of our group, including G, had the Jump scramble (scrambled eggs, sausage [pork, turkey, veggie or
vegan], breakfast potatoes, onions, cilantro & cheddar, smothered in Green
Chili), one had French toast with a side of bacon, and one had an egg-white
omelet. That last one was actually me! I'm on a restricted diet for a 2-week
period, and I thought it would be interesting to see if this restaurant project
choice would support something that was on the plan--and it did. The omelet was
very tasty because the mushrooms were good and were cooked just right, and I
took the sides home for G to eat later. Everyone else also liked their food.
The French toast eater said she might have preferred fewer almonds on top as a
texture issue--but at least they were movable.
I asked the server
why it is called "Super Mini," and she said, "Because we were
originally supposed to be smaller." She didn't exactly know where the
"super" part came in. Maybe "super mini" equates to regular
size? Note that the SMWC menu has gluten-free options for pancakes, waffles,
and breads. Pie is a Walnut Café specialty, and I know from experience at the other locations that the pies are good (especially, I should mention, after GS cookie time, when they sometimes have a coconut-cream pie with a crust made of samoas!). However, we did not indulge today.
