Butcher Block Cafe

Butcher Block Cafe has been slinging cinnamon rolls and smothered breakfast burritos since before the moniker “RiNo” was even a thing. The energy is exactly what you want a 40-plus-year-old diner to be: dated decor, big booths, menus written on the walls, and strangers chatting it up over cups of watery diner coffee at the counter. Come here for a solid early breakfast—it opens at 5am most days—where $10 can more than fill you up.
