Baldpate's Soup and Salad buffet is served daily for lunch and dinner continuously from 11:30 AM to 8 PM Although we do not offer traditional entrees, we are loved for our fresh salad buffet, homemade soups, breads, and pies. Not only locals, but travelers especially delight in the refreshing change and value that our baldpate Soup & Salad buffet offers. Not required, but we do always recommend reservations!
Soup & Salad Buffet
You will delight in the option to savor all you wish, whether your choices include our hearty Beef Stew with tender cubes of beef; our popular Two Bean Red Chili; the newest favorite, our robust Cowboy Buffalo Stew, a beflowered GardenVegetable soup; the often requested Broccoli Cheese; our flavorful Pumpkin Curry soup; classic French Onion; or just our simple, but exceptionally rich Potato Leek soup. a call or check of our Baldpate daily blog will tell you which two soups we will be serving each day. Generally we choose a hearty meat soup and a lighter vegetarian one. Our salad buffet provides you with the freshest greens, both Spinach and Lettuces, with the traditional array of toppings. You will also enjoy a variety of fruit and vegetable salads. you may find a crispy Waldorf Apple, Pineapple Pistachio salad or Jicama Two Step combo. accompanying our hearty Honey Wheat Bread each day, you can indulge in scrumptious muffins and fluffy rolls which are so freshly baked that we may warn you to let them cool a minute or two. our moist Baldpate Cornbread needs no further advertisement than to suggest you sample it for yourself.
Slice Of Homebaked Pie
Tantalizing you from an elegant silver tray, our generous slices of home baked pies will be difficult to resist. Whether your options include Chocolate crème, Cherry, Peach, Key Lime, Rhubarb, Blueberry, Swedish Apple or Pecan, we'll try to tempt you further by suggesting you enjoy your dessert a la mode.
Beverage Options
In addition to our superb teas and coffees, we invite you to consider our list of selected wines and beers as the perfect compliment to your meal. We are pleased to offer you the option of our favorite Colorado microbrews and wines as well as a variety of other domestic and international spirits. When you are celebrating a special occasion you will want to add the enjoyable bubbly sparkle of a bottle of champagne!
