13 Colorado All-You-Can-Eat Buffets Where The Dessert Tables Steal The Spotlight

Growing up, my family never left a buffet without at least two trips to the dessert station—and honestly, that’s still my rule today.

Colorado’s buffet scene gets it, catering to every kind of sweet tooth with tables that sparkle under the glow of chocolate fountains and towers of pastries.

From crisp cannoli and creamy tiramisu to warm, made-to-order crêpes dusted with powdered sugar, dessert isn’t an afterthought here—it’s the main event. Whether you’re craving Italian indulgence or Indian sweets rich with cardamom and ghee, these thirteen buffets prove that the grand finale is always worth the second (or third) plate.

1. Cinzzetti’s Italian Market Restaurant — Northglenn

Walking past the pasta station at Cinzzetti’s takes serious willpower when you know what’s waiting at the end. Their dessert spread reads like a love letter to Italian pastry shops, with house-made cannoli shells filled fresh and crêpes folded right in front of you.

Weekends bring out the full artillery: gelato in flavors that rotate weekly, ice cream for the purists, and those adorable piccolo pasticceria treats that look almost too pretty to eat. Almost. I once watched a kid stack four cannoli on one plate, and honestly, I respected the commitment.

The live crêpe station alone justifies the trip, letting you customize fillings while the chef works their magic on the hot griddle.

2. The Buffet at Monarch Casino — Black Hawk

Casino buffets carry a certain reputation, and Monarch’s dessert station lives up to every delicious rumor. Nestled inside the resort, this buffet operates with the kind of polish you’d expect from a place where presentation matters as much as taste.

The dedicated sweets station sits like a sparkling jewel at the end of the buffet line, loaded with cakes that actually taste homemade and pastries that crumble just right. Live action stations throughout mean chefs are constantly creating, but the dessert area holds its own without any theatrics.

Currently operating with full service, it’s become my go-to when I need to impress out-of-town visitors who think Colorado only does steak and potatoes.

3. Ultimate Buffet — Colorado Springs

Some buffets whisper their dessert offerings. Ultimate Buffet in Colorado Springs shouts them from the rooftops, starting with a chocolate fountain that’s been running since I first visited in 2019.

The American and Asian fusion might draw you in, but that dessert station plants you firmly in your seat for round three. Flan sits alongside layer cakes, soft-serve machines hum invitingly, and the chocolate fountain becomes a magnet for anyone within eyeshot. Open daily with reliable hours, it’s earned neighborhood favorite status among families who know their kids will actually finish dinner if dessert looks this good.

Pro tip: grab your soft-serve first, then strategically drizzle fountain chocolate over the top.

4. Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet — Aurora

Aurora’s Hibachi Grill plays the long game, staying open until 10 PM daily so night owls can satisfy late dessert cravings. The sushi draws the initial crowd, but regulars know the real treasure lies at that ample dessert table stretching along the back wall.

I’ve counted at least fifteen different sweet options on a typical Wednesday, from Asian-inspired treats to classic American cakes that remind me of church potlucks. The variety keeps things interesting whether you visit for lunch at eleven or dinner at eight.

Something about finishing raw fish with chocolate cake feels wonderfully rebellious, and this place encourages exactly that kind of culinary adventure without judgment.

5. King Buffet — Arvada

Arvada’s King Buffet understands that variety isn’t just for the main course. Their multi-station setup includes a Mongolian grill and sushi bar, but the dessert bar commands attention with its own dedicated real estate and that crowd-pleasing chocolate fountain.

Ice cream flavors rotate enough to keep repeat visitors guessing, while the fountain provides endless entertainment for kids who treat it like an interactive art project. Open daily, it’s become a weekend ritual for families who appreciate that all-you-can-eat means all-you-can-dessert too.

My nephew once built a three-tier ice cream and cake tower here, and instead of collapsing, it actually held. We took pictures. It felt like a small miracle.

6. King Buffet — Aurora (E. Alameda Ave.)

Brand new for 2025, Aurora’s East Alameda King Buffet arrived with fresh paint, posted pricing, and dessert selections that match its established siblings. New restaurants sometimes stumble out of the gate, but this one opened with confidence, likely because the King Buffet formula already works.

Lunch and dinner service both include full dessert access, which matters when you’re strategically planning your buffet attack around maximum sweet consumption. The dessert area gleams with that new-restaurant shine, and early visitors report the same fountain-and-ice-cream combo that made the other locations neighborhood staples.

Give it a few months and this place will develop its own regular crowd who claim corner booths and know exactly which desserts rotate daily.

7. City Buffet — Littleton (S. Wadsworth Blvd.)

Littleton’s City Buffet keeps things straightforward: Chinese food, sushi, seafood, Mongolian grill, and yes, desserts with ice cream that actually tastes creamy instead of icy. Open daily with hours that accommodate both lunch rushers and dinner lingerers, it’s earned loyal followers who appreciate consistency.

The dessert and ice cream station might not feature a chocolate fountain, but it doesn’t need theatrical elements when the fundamentals are solid. Typical buffet sweets line the counter, from puddings to cookies to cakes that change based on what the kitchen feels like baking.

My friend’s kids rate buffets solely on ice cream quality, and City Buffet passed their rigorous testing with flying colors and minimal brain freeze complaints.

8. Yak & Yeti Restaurant & Brewpub — Arvada

Stepping into Yak & Yeti’s buffet means leaving chocolate fountains behind and discovering gulab jamun, those syrup-soaked golden spheres that taste like childhood celebrations in dessert form. Their Indian and Himalayan spread runs lunch and dinner, but the dessert lineup deserves its own standing ovation.

Kheer, that creamy rice pudding spiced with cardamom, sits alongside mango custard that tastes like summer vacation in a bowl. These aren’t the usual buffet suspects, which makes them even more exciting for adventurous eaters tired of the same old cake rotation.

I’ve converted at least three friends to gulab jamun at this location, watching their faces light up at first bite like they’ve discovered a delicious secret.

9. King Buffet — Colorado Springs (N. Academy Blvd.)

Sister locations often feel like pale copies, but King Buffet’s Colorado Springs outpost on North Academy delivers the same dessert magic as its Arvada sibling. The layout mirrors the original, which means that glorious dessert bar gets the spotlight it deserves.

Posted hours make planning easy, and the chocolate fountain runs just as reliably here as anywhere else in the King Buffet family. Local military families have adopted this spot as their celebration headquarters, probably because nothing says special occasion like unlimited cake access.

I’ve watched birthday parties, promotions, and random Tuesday victories all celebrated here, united by the common language of chocolate-covered strawberries and soft-serve swirls that lean dangerously close to toppling.

10. Yak & Yeti — Westminster

Westminster’s Yak & Yeti operates with the same dessert philosophy as its Arvada counterpart: traditional sweets that tell stories through flavor. Open daily with buffet service that includes the full dessert lineup, it’s become a destination for anyone seeking something beyond standard American buffet fare.

Gulab jamun and kheer appear reliably, with occasional surprises depending on the day and the chef’s inspiration. The consistency matters because once you fall for these desserts, you want to know they’ll be waiting when you return.

I once brought my notoriously picky uncle here, and he went back for seconds on the kheer, muttering something about why he’d wasted years eating boring rice pudding when this version existed all along.

11. Sherpa House Restaurant & Cultural Center — Golden

Golden’s Sherpa House brings Nepalese flavors to the buffet scene, and while their daily lunch service focuses heavily on savory dishes, the dessert situation offers pleasant surprises. House desserts vary based on what’s been prepared that day, sometimes featuring traditional Nepalese sweets, other times leaning toward fresh fruit arrangements.

The cultural center aspect adds depth beyond just eating, making lunch here feel educational and delicious simultaneously. Sweets might include rice-based puddings, fried dough with syrup, or simple fruit that lets your palate reset after bold curry flavors.

Returned buffet service means they’re still finding their rhythm, but the commitment to authentic preparation extends to every course, including whatever sweet ending awaits at the table’s end.

12. Little India Restaurant & Bar — Lakewood/Denver (Teller St.)

Teller Street’s Little India runs a daily lunch buffet that includes those glorious gulab jamun that have become my measuring stick for Indian restaurant quality. Dinner switches to à la carte, so timing matters if you want the full unlimited dessert experience.

The lunch spread keeps things classic, letting the food speak without gimmicks or over-the-top presentation. Gulab jamun arrives warm and syrupy, exactly as it should, sometimes joined by other traditional sweets that rotate through the weekly menu.

I’ve started scheduling lunch meetings here specifically because ending negotiations with gulab jamun somehow makes everyone more agreeable. Sugar diplomacy works, especially when the sugar comes soaked in rose-scented syrup and melts on your tongue like an edible peace treaty.

13. Grand International Buffet — Grand Junction

Grand Junction’s appropriately named Grand International Buffet closes out our list with the kind of sprawling setup that makes decision-making genuinely difficult. Sushi, Mongolian grill, and that essential ice cream and dessert station all compete for attention and stomach space.

Open daily, it serves Western Slope residents who might otherwise drive hours for this kind of variety. The dessert station keeps things familiar with ice cream flavors and standard sweets, but familiar tastes perfect when you’ve already adventured through sushi and stir-fry.

My cousin who lives in Grand Junction claims this buffet saved her sanity during a particularly long winter, providing both social outlet and dessert therapy in equal, unlimited measures. Sometimes that’s exactly what a good buffet should offer.
