B&B Cafe
The B&B Cafe has anchored downtown Castle Rock since 1946, and two bullet holes — one in the pressed-tin ceiling near the vintage ceiling fan, one in the ornate Italian marble and onyx back-bar — mark where shots flew during the Valentine's Day arrest of a teenage fugitive who fatally shot Town Marshal Raymond Lewis. The cafe is still a beloved locals' breakfast and brunch spot, its original back-bar and booths largely intact.
The move: Slide into one of the original booths for an all-day breakfast — try the banana bread French toast or a cinnamon roll — then ask a staff member to point out the two preserved bullet holes in the ceiling and back-bar, and linger over coffee while reading the full 1946 story on the town's official memorial page.
📍 Before you go This is a day trip — Castle Rock sits about half an hour up I-25 from Colorado Springs, and the cafe anchors a corner of the walkable downtown historic district on Wilcox Street. Street parking right out front is tight, so plan to grab a nearby public lot a block or two off Wilcox and stroll in. It's a breakfast-and-lunch institution, daytime only — no dinner — so come for a morning or midday meal; weekend mornings draw the biggest locals' crowd and a wait, while a weekday is mellower. Make a half-day of it: browse the downtown shops on the same blocks, then walk off the cinnamon roll on the trail up to the namesake "Rock" lookout nearby.
