About Us

Who are the Food Cruisers? We are longtime friends. We are semi-retired and we like to eat.
After years of getting together for breakfast with friends and family, we noticed the concentration
of great places for breakfast on US 40, Colfax Avenue in Jefferson County. Inspired by
breakfast out and by the active promotion of redevelopment along Colfax (including the activities
of the 40W Business Improvement District, the 40W Arts District, and the renovation of the
historic Casa Bonita Restaurant), we looked for a compilation of breakfast places. None
existed, so we made our own. We had fun as our list of great places for breakfast along US 40
in Jefferson County took shape as a desktop calendar.

Our calendars

Our compilation of great places for breakfast along US 40 in Jefferson County is a calendar; it is
also a book and a documentary. It is a snapshot in time of the ever-changing nature of Colfax
Avenue and its diverse selection of breakfast restaurants. Updated calendars will be available
every year as we enjoy ourselves sampling the restaurants and observing the changes on
Colfax.

We invite you to join us, through our calendar, in our year-long, 18-mile road trip that is sampling
the great places for breakfast on US 40, Colfax Avenue, in Jefferson County, CO.
