If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Fort Collins, then you ought to visit the city’s very own Silver Grill Cafe. This historic restaurant has been a bedrock of the town’s culinary legacy.

The restaurant has been up since 1922 when John Arnolfo founded the place and introduced their amazing and iconic cinnamon rolls. In 1986, they recorded about 10,000 cinnamon rolls being baked every month!
