Egg Harbor Cafe came to Colorado by way of Highlands Ranch. The Chicago-born, family-owned breakfast brand chose Highlands Ranch for its first Colorado location, opening in March 2026 — and the early reception was strong (4.6 stars, steady weekend crowds). Now the brand is building on that start: the next stop is Belleview Station in southeast Denver, at 7222 E Layton Ave.
For anyone on the south side of the metro, it's a short drive: Belleview Station sits at Belleview and I-25, near the Denver Tech Center and the Belleview light-rail station — easy reach from Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch.
What's known so far
The Denver location will be Egg Harbor's second in Colorado, after Highlands Ranch. Egg Harbor tells us it is now aiming for late September 2026 — a soft opening in the final week of the month, with the grand opening that weekend — and that final dates are still being confirmed. The address is 7222 E Layton Ave, Denver, CO 80237, inside the Belleview Station mixed-use development — the brand's steady push into the south-metro market after its Highlands Ranch debut.
Castle Rock could be next
Egg Harbor's Colorado growth may not stop at two. The brand is reportedly eyeing a third location in Castle Rock — near AdventHealth Castle Rock, in The Meadows. Nothing is finalized and there's no timeline yet, but it's a sign Egg Harbor sees room to keep growing across Douglas County, where it got its Colorado start.
About Egg Harbor Cafe
