Fairplay, Colorado
Open since forever

We serve breakfast like a small-town ritual: strong coffee, warm plates, and tables where regulars and road-trippers share a story.

Mr. Burro Cafe is the kind of place where the breakfast burrito comes out next to a double-shot latte, and where you'll find the local crowd sitting beside someone just passing through Fairplay.

We're not fancy. We're honest: real ingredients, recipes that have been in the family for years, and a door that opens the same way for everyone.

A Fairplay
tradition.

"Good food, good people — for generations."

Mr. Burro Cafe has been a part of Fairplay for years — a little landmark on Front St that locals grew up with and travelers learned to look for. It's the kind of place a town keeps close.

Today it's in the hands of Mily & Lola, who keep the same spirit alive: real ingredients, family recipes, and a warm, cozy room where everyone — regulars and road-trippers alike — gets the same welcome. Good food, good people, the way it's always been.

"Worth a stop! The breakfast burrito was fresh and tasty, and the Mountain Platter was a perfect portion — even vegan sausage and gluten-free toast. We'll be back for lunch."
