Great Vail atmosphere style Cafe. I found the coffee itself to be very good - actually served hot which I like. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. Overall great Vail spot for coffee and just feeling the Vail spirit.

I had the best experience with Lory, two days ago when I was going through the village and needed a coffee she really took her time to understand what I wanted and was very persistent communicative and just all around the best customer service I’ve received since being here in vail if you’re in the village and you want a good coffee and good service. This is the place to go.

I give this place 5 stars except for the service. Sometimes the staff can be a little rude, depending on the barista you get. Aside from that, this is our favorite place to hangout in Vail! They have the greatest hot chocolate around, as well as their pretzels Some other favorites are apple cider, biscotti, and chili for when it gets cold! Sitting by the fire while looking at the snowy peaks is the best experience!

I love this cafe! Everyone is so nice, and the food and coffee are SO good. The red haired girl, Belu I think, is so sweet and she always remembers my drink and my name! Also, the rest of the girls are so nice! I definitely recommend their cappuccino and Nutella croissant. Definitely will come back! Best place in the village

This café is an absolute gem!** The coffee is hands down the best I've ever had—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The croissants and pastries are *out of this world*, flaky and buttery with just the right touch of sweetness. The girls working there are incredibly friendly and warm, always greeting you with a smile that brightens your day. And the interior? Simply stunning. It's a beautiful, cozy space that invites you to relax and enjoy every moment. Highly recommended!
