April is National Grilled Cheese month, so celebrate with a crispy, buttery sandwich filled with oozing, melty cheese! Here are 5 of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in Northern Colorado.
1. Tom+Chee
2909 E Harmony Rd
Fort Collins, Colorado 80528
Whether you want a traditional grilled cheese, a fancy grilled cheese (like the pesto + turkey), or a unique grilled cheese (like their signature grilled cheese donuts), Tom + Chee is the place to make all of your grilled cheese dreams come true. As the perfect pairing with your grilled cheese, they also offer delicious tomato soup.
They even offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well, so there’s something for everyone!
2. Taste of Philly
829 16th St
Greeley, CO 80631
If you want to stick to the traditional, you can get the plain grilled cheese, but we suggest you go all-in on this one. The beauty of this place comes in their melty cheesesteaks. Everything from the original (with thinly sliced beef steak, grilled onions, and American cheese) to the Hot Popper (a cheesesteak sandwich with all of the goodness of a jalapeno popper – cream cheese, jalapenos, onions, and more) is amazing here.
The bread is delightful, the steak is flavorful, and the cheese is the melty deliciousness that brings it all together into a heavenly sandwich. They offer big portions and the fries are great here, too!
3. Johnstown Lunch Box
111B West South 1st Street
Johnstown, CO 80534
This hidden gem in Johnstown is a great lunch joint for all kinds of sandwiches, salads, and soup, but this month, you should go there for their Triple Grilled Cheese. That’s right. This isn’t your ordinary cheese slice slapped between some Wonder Bread. This delectable sandwich is jam-packed full of grilled cheese goodness with chipotle mayo, muenster, cheddar, pepper jack, tomato, red onion, and pepperoncini on tomato basil bread.
4. The Bent Fork
5971 Sky Pond Dr.
Loveland, CO 80538
This restaurant in Centerra takes the classic grilled cheese and makes it a bit more upscale with their Grilled Four Cheese & Tomato Bisque. The sandwich itself is packed full of cheesy goodness – havarti, gorgonzola, white cheddar, fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil all on butter toasted sourdough. And the cup of tomato fennel bisque pairs with all of those cheeses perfectly!
5. The Waffle Lab
130 W. Olive St., Suite D
Fort Collins, CO 80524
Add a unique twist to your grilled cheese sandwich experience by trading your normal bread for a Belgian-style Liege waffle. Their “Mild High” Grilled Cheese combines both Swiss and cheddar cheese together with your crispy waffle for a brilliantly delicious grilled cheese. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, they even have a list of add-ons to make all of your sandwich dreams come true. We recommend the caramelized onions and honey smoked salmon!
