    Stopped by this little "jewel" to grab some coffee on our way to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We were warmly greeted and just loved the laid-back/down-home vibes of the place. The cashier was super pleasant and very patient in explaining the various types of pastries offered. I decided on the morning glory muffin top (delish) and my husband had a bear claw pastry. By the way, the town of Lyons is quite quaint; loved the small-town atmosphere!

    So, not from CO, we are from ATX so we try and find those places that stand out and let me tell you this place did not disappoint!! The service from the gate was IMPRESSIVE and Inviting!! it was from a young lady who was taking orders slinging drinks and doing it all with a smile while communicating!! Then you have my man behind the scenes putting together mother watering concoction's!! The food we had was fresh, tasteful, and made us appreciate the hometown vibes and locally owned and operated businesses ...Watching these two work was so refreshing as the ambiance was like a CHEERS atmosphere... it's clearly a local hot spot and people come from everywhere to try!! This place is pet friendly and needs to be spot you try if you are in Lyons, CO! Thank you for a great Saturday MORNING!

    Sausage burrito

    For a frozen burrito they microwave it's actually not that bad. I should of known it wasn't a fresh breakfast burrito when It was only 5 bucks. But atleast they press it so it gets a little seared or else it would be a mushy soggy burrito. It was very small and not filling at all But the guys working there were cool

    Egg and cheese croissant

    Heading to RMNP from Denver. Stopped for some breakfast and iced coffee. Delicious, 10/10 sandwiches. Even had some yummy hash browns. Burritos also delicious. Staff were great and friendly! Dogs welcome on the patio. Lovely place! We'll be back!

    While dogs are not allowed, they ate a very sustainable establishment, which I love. Service and ambiance are great. I would definitely check it out.

    Low key relaxing ambiance and delicious breakfast sandwiches! The service was super friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside, enjoying the weather and friendly visitors. Would definitely recommend before or after a trek to Estes park.

    Lyons, Co. They handle the long line of breakfast seekers well, even though there are some glitches made in the process. These are corrected quickly. Excellent breakfast items including the granola. I would prefer more granola and less yogurt however. Decent latte even if it was a tad too milky.

    Needed a good jolt after an early morning airport run to Denver. While they don't have dine in right now the coffee was great! My cinnamon roll was good too!

    Breakfast bagel, eggs and tomato

    Delicious! Coffee was great, food was great! I would definitely recommend! We also tried 3 different muffins all were delicious. Great place to eat

    Best place in Lyons to stop for a breakfast/lunch sandwich for $10 or less. Be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes for your food.

    Great place to stop before heading to RMNP. Coffee, breakfast, and pastries are good. Rodriguez and his blue dog would be happy.

    Good food and coffee at very reasonable prices. Don't come if you're in a rush, though. A "local shop" experience.

    I had an absolute 5-star experience at Scratch Deli and Bakery! We needed some sandwiches to bring…read morewith us into the park to give us energy for a day of hiking, and this place delivered perfectly. We ordered two different kinds of sandwiches, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was completely on point, everything was so fresh, and they make it right in front of you. The deli is run by a super cute couple, and you can tell how much care they put into their business. We happened to visit during the shoulder season, so luckily the line wasn't very long. However, I've heard from others that this place is super popular, and during the peak summer season, there is usually a line waiting right out the door, and after eating here, I can totally see why! In fact, we loved it so much that we tried to go back the very next day, but unfortunately, they were closed (they are closed two days of the week, so be sure to check their hours!). I highly recommend stopping by Scratch Deli and Bakery. It is a must-visit spot, and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

All of their meats are cured in house and served on their fresh baked bread each day. They are vegetarian friendly and offer vegan and gluten free options. They also offer breakfast items like burritos. Be aware their sandwiches are loaded with ingredients and big. I could only eat half of my sandwich. I do appreciate the size though as you never know how hungry you are going to be after a long hike especially in this altitude. We went with the turkey sandwich and added cheese, all kinds of toppings and a spread. These sandwiches were very tasty and all the veggies on the sandwich were so fresh. Their baked goods looked so inviting especially the cinnamon rolls. I will have to come back! Service was efficient and helpful. Parking can be a bit of a challenge when they are busy. It was the perfect stop before entering the park!

    Stopped in here for a pre-hike breakfast. Very indescript so keep your eyes open, or you'll miss…read moreit! However, once you find this place, you'll find the outside is nice and quaint, like going to Grandma's house for breakfast. The interior is small but nice, and decorated all over with little nicknacks. Everything is clean, including the bathroom. The people inside are all small town nice chatty folk, customers and staff alike. Don't let the older waitress scare ya, she looks mean, but she's actually very nice. The food: It doesn't seem like a lot at first, but what you get is actually plenty of food for the price. We filled up with just a basic plate of omelet and pancakes and some coffee. I will say that the pancakes are pretty dense, they could definitely use some fluffing, but everything has good flavor, including the coffee! I would definitely go back if I were back in the area for another hike.

    I've been here twice now when visiting and you just can't beat the charm and the "off the beaten…read morepath" vibes here. You truly feel like you've walked into a friendly neighbor's home and they've decided to cook for you....next to a fire...at their dining table. It's so cozy. I've just had breakfast here so far. It's fresh and home cooked tasting. My sister and other family members rave about the huevos rancheros. We also always rave about their coffee...they add a touch of cinnamon to it. It's so good and just something different to enjoy. Our service this time could have been a bit better...perhaps our server was new, as my sister said she doesn't typically have that experience. If you find yourself coming through or near Allenspark, don't miss this true one of a kind experience.

    Stopped by on the way back from Rocky Mountain National Park and it is a must visit!…read more So far, all the lattes I've tried (honey bear, cherry blossom, cherry cordial) have been great. I'm usually picky about any cherry flavored bc a lot of cherry flavored products tastes too artificial. But here it's an exception! Pork Green Chili Pocket $7.5 was also delicious. Not spicy. The pork inside is chunck but tender and has a great bite to it. I would get it again. I'm planning to try their pot pies next visit! They have it available hot and ready for frozen bake at home.

We picked up a bottle of cherry wine, some cherry popcorn, and cherry honey as gifts for a family member who loves anything cherry. It was really neat to see just how many different cherry products they offer--you can tell they've gotten creative with it! The shop itself is cute, well-stocked, and opens early, which made it an easy stop during our day. They also have pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is always a bonus for us. I had a question about one of the wines, and while the younger employee helping me wasn't sure of the answer, he immediately went to ask someone else who was able to help. I always appreciate when staff take the time to find the right information instead of guessing. Plenty of parking as well! Overall, it's a charming local shop with unique products and friendly service. We'll definitely stop back next time--hopefully for a slice of cherry pie!
