Cafe Aion

Came in for brunch on a Saturday. We ordered the orange juice and French press coffee. The orange juice was some of the best I’ve had in Boulder, it seemed freshly squeezed. The French press was also very tasty. For our food we ordered the Shakshouka and Eggs Benedict. The Shakshouka was very flavorful and perfect for a cold day. It was definitely large enough to share. The Eggs Benedict had a perfectly creamy hollandaise sauce and nice smashed potatoes. This is a great low key place to stop in for a weekend brunch.

It's a small, family owned restaurant that you should definitely visit! The food is delicious. The service is top notch. We had the green beans and truffle fries for appetizers. The green beans are divine! Then we had the steak which was cooked to perfection! For dessert we had flan and creme brulee - both exceptional! We had a few delicious cocktails to compliment our meals as well.

Always good food but I missed it that they went away with the small plates experience, likely during the pandemic for good reasons, but I was disappointed going with my family who I'd be happy to share with. Unless the chef changed for other reasons, which of course he has the right to do! Congrats on always having great food and a good atmosphere.

Cafe Aion is a nice spot to checkout if you are around The Hill neighborhood of Boulder. They offer a varied menu ranging from tapas to burgers / sandwiches and all the way to a 2-3 person serving size of paella. An additional bonus is that this restaurant offers a handful of vegetarian dishes, if that is something that you are looking for. I enjoyed my juicy and nicely booked Aion Burger with a local micro brew. The large sweet potato fries on the side were a perfect side dish. I would not be opposed to getting this burger again, or checking out the veggie burger as my friend had it and enjoyed it thoroughly. Beyond these dishes, the Vegetarian Tagine was a little more underwhelming. It was bland and lacked needed spices. All in all, I think Cafe Aion is a worth wile spot to check out for lunch or dinner should you find yourself on The Hill.
