Happy Endings Caboose Cafe

On our travel excursion across the country we found this unique little restaurant in a train engine. They have a separate dining room that is in a train engine and plenty of outside seating. We had the taco trio and bottles of soda pop. The chicken tacos were my favorite but the beef was good, as well. The tacos had plenty of toppings including pickled onions which I love. The soda brought back memories of having a soda pop as a child. If I’m the area, you should definitely try them out.

There were pros and cons but I am giving this place five stars. Pros were that the Bloody Mary was delicious and the Southwest wrap was delicious. Another pro is the atmosphere. Eating in a nice air conditioned caboose was fun. A con was that in the caboose there are no napkins and no salt and pepper shakers. The waiter never did come back and check on me after they brought my food. Luckily, I had a napkin in my purse. I had received my Bloody Mary first and it did not have bacon like the menu specified. So, when they brought my food, I did ask for a piece of bacon and they brought it after questioning me, but I had taken a picture of the menu and showed them where it said garnished with bacon. :)
It wasn't until after that that I realized I didn't have a napkin. And I didn't want to get up and walk back over into the other caboose to ask for one since I realized I had one in my purse.

WOW!!!

We moved to Cañon City about two months ago and have been on a hunt for THE local hotspot for coffee and breakfast. We didn’t not expect to find BOTH at the SAME place!!

Seriously, the food is phenomenal, the coffee is spectacular and roasted here in Colorado, and the customer service is next level. The spot is cozy and family friendly with excellent outdoor seating. I cannot possibly rave enough about this place! It was shocking to not see the whole area packed with customers.

Would’ve taken a picture of the amazing wrap and tacos, but we were caught up in the smells, and once that first bite is taken, you’re not putting em down!

This is by far the BEST coffee and breakfast in town and the surrounding area. Do yourself a favor, and visit this wonderful little cafe, and give these folks your business. They more than deserve it!

Great place to grab a bite to eat and a drink if you are going to ride the Royal Gorge train. You order inside and sit in an outside dining area. We ordered drinks, alcoholiic and nonalcoholic, crepes, and ice cream. The drinks and food items were amazing. Only complaint was there was only one employee that was making drinks and desserts. He was amazing but overwhelmed with how many order he had to make. Consequently, the wait was quite long. Also, please fix the air conditioning in the caboose so your employees and work more comfortably.

A delicious and fun experience!

Taylor and Kayona were really sweet and gave us great recommendations on what to get for our first time here.

My wife and I shared the French toast, which wasn't overly sweet and had beautiful presentation, along with the Santa Fe Breakfast which was the perfect breakfast meal having a base of hash browns with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and the local green chile on top. It was so delicious and totally worth it.

The chefs Frank and Garrett made this delicious meal and even checked in on us during our meal.

The small things make this place amazing like the orange cold foam on top of the iced latte and the staffs' warm and incredible customer service.

We highly recommend this place to everyone!!!

This is a comfortable place to dine outdoors, weather permitting. Our simple meals were very delicious. They prepared the food mpstly outside. The staff was helpful and pleasant. Thanks Happy Endings Caboose.

Such an awesome place with wonderful staff. The food was soooo good best I’ve had in CO, and I highly recommend the smoothies! The tables inside the train car are really cool and so is the outdoor seating where you can watch and hear the train, The food wrapper was an old local article from 67, so cool! And I personally love the black napkins and compostable cups ☺ so many things cool about this place, no regrets whatsoever.

Great spot!! Cool and shaded outside. The Santa Fe breakfast was amazing! And served on parchment paper that says royal gorge post is a cute touch. Although the paper rips when you cut on it.

They have a iced Irish coffee that was so good! Great job!

Absolutely fantastic food. We had five different breakfast items, with coffee, tea, and juice, and everything was perfect. We sat inside the train car and since there are only two small booths our family took up the entire seating area but the experience added to the enjoyment. The crepes were artistic and prestented beautifully.

The only improvement I'd suggest is to update the online menu. I'm trying to get my kids and my mother to select their items ahead of time so they don't spend a lot of time milling around indecisively when we get to restaurants, and then it's difficult if nothing they wanted is available.

Loved it. Atmosphere was great; beautifully restored caboose cars. AIR CONDITIONED (maybe put up a big sign near the station about the AC…). Great food (breakfast burritos with bacon). Good lattes (perhaps a little hotter?). Friendly.

My girlfriend and I visited Canon City this past week a decided to give this place a try for a early brunch. The girls working inside were great with our questions (we had a bunch). So, I ended up with the Southwest Wrap which was hands down one of the best things I had on our trip.

The location while a little off the main road is the perfect to grab a nice little breakfast and then go for a nice walk over the bridge and burn off the calories you just took in, hahaha.

Really cool place and friendly staff by the river. They had some amazing food and the trolley car both with the copper top table seating was really fun. Hope this place takes off and would be a great spot for some live music

Cool place to relax and grab a bite to eat. The old train cabooses are really cool to sit and eat. Had the Chefs Special of there PattyMelt sandwich! 👍🏼👍🏼

Really neat place with lots of outdoor seating. Just had an amazing crepe!

Super nice staff and excellent food! There are two tables inside and we were able to get out of the wind. Seating outside for a less windy day. The Giant Cinnamon rolls are delicious and huge, sweet trax french toast is decadent, the Santa Fe Breakfast is a great way to get scrambled eggs, hash browns, meat (bacon, ham, or sausage) and awesome green chili sauce, and the loaded bagel with smoked salmon was super flavorful and all you can eat! We will be back.

A good place to grab some good grub before heading out for adventures. The food is good, above all, the staff make it worth 5 Stars.

Wow! Did not expect the quality of food Here. They have it all breakfast and lunch. You can get coffee as well. Bathrooms are behind the caboose the next building over (public restrooms). The woman at the register was sweet and patient with us trying to pick our food. Order inside the caboose.

They have great coffee and crepes! The customer service is nice and the atmosphere is great! One of my new favorites.

Very nice people worked there Briefly but loved every moment of it! I wish I was in better condition I would have loved to work there as long as possible. But I still will have the grate memories to go with me through life would recommend for job ,food , and the train

Cool place to grab a coffee and bite to eat
