Best gluten free option in grand lake, our family go to. Always helpful staff and delicious

Came here for breakfast (opens at 7 despite their website saying 8). Kids enjoyed the waffles, breakfast bagel sandwiches were also very good. I was a little surprised though that bagels by themselves were $6.50 which I thought was a little pricey compared to the sandwiches and other dishes which were more reasonable. read more

The employees were very friendly which is the best part of the restaurant. The baked goods looked nice, but we did not try them. Breakfast items are very expensive and so so for quality. For example a simple bowl of oatmeal served with brown sugar and 1/2&1/2 was over $10 before taxes and tip. It is served, like all the breakfast items, in a to go container and considering the price should have been in a real bowl for in store eating. The espresso flavor was disappointing. It actually was more like Folgers in flavor and texture than a real espresso. During the summer high season the line is long in the morning. Overall just so so of a place. There are two others in town which have better espresso and morning foods. read more

Blue Water Bakery - Outside seating - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

We had rolled into the Grand Lake area after spending the morning in GCNP, looking for a place to eat. Yelp provided us with two promising options, one that Yelp SAID was a breakfast place (but was just a coffee and tea place) and one that sounded awesome (but provided little parking). So we drove down the street to the Blue Water Bakery. It's a fine spot. There's plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside. The crew is young and mostly Eastern European, judging by their accents. (Immigrants? Likely young adults on summer work visas, but I didn't confirm.) The Blue Water Bakery offers a good selection hot and cold drinks, and a small but tempting menu of breakfast items. We opted for the wraps, the meat wrap and the Taos wrap. Good food with good presentation. Indoors there are many tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy. The best part: two restrooms next door, open to the public. Go there just to see the artwork on the walls. read more

Swift service and terrific coffee! We got a kitchen sink cookie and chocolate chip cookie. Both were decadent and delicious. They had indoor seating but the weather was amazing and we sat outside at the patio tables under the little umbrellas and with the gorgeous flowers. It was cozy and glorious to be so close to the lake on a warm summer day. read more

The food was decent, but coffee was very good. They use plastic cutlery, so I wish they didn't use plastic

Pretty good but they should offer to warm up their baked goods. It was busy and a small place. Tried a few things and they were good but better if warmed read more

Be cautious if ordering gluten-free. I asked them for a salad which they confirmed was gluten-free and dairy free. I told them I had an allergy. After picking up the order and going home, I opened my salad box and noticed there was bread on top. I called and they confirmed that the bread was not gluten-free bread. If you are placing a gluten-free order please make sure to either specifically ask for no bread or for gluten-free bread as they may otherwise include the bread (if I recall, there was no mention of bread on the salad menu). On our phone conversation, they apologized for the mistake but made no offer to rectify the error. On the plus side, the rest of my non-gluten free family loved their meal. So this is more of a critique of their handling of gluten free options. read more

Great pastries! Got the tart cherry almond scone, Not too sweet, full of great flavor! read more

Blue Water Bakery - Coffee menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

Visited on Sunday, July 16th at 3:30. The clerk was incredibly snarky and condescending. Had to repeat order multiple times and she still got it wrong. Mother ordered peach coffee cake and it was disgusting. She said it tasted raw and dry. I had a apple coffee cake and likewise, it was very dry and the apples tasted like dehydrated apple slices. Our coffee was ice cold and the iced dirty chai tasted like there was no chai at all in it. Cannot recommend this place at all. There are better options here and sadly, this was the one we chose. read more

Great place to get some hot soup or a specialty coffee. Indoor and outdoor dining. They are pet friendly. I had awesome French onion soup. They have a lot of choices for breakfast food too. We had the most amazing cookie with raspberry cookie. The view of Grand Lake is amazing!! read more

Breakfasts are great. Baked goods are delicious! Always a line the morning, but the service is good. Chocolate croissant...excellent! The only place we'll go for breakfast in Grand Lake. Right in the center of town & 1 block from the lake. read more

Tofu scramble was ok, cinnamon swirl French toast mediocre. Long line that we didn't feel was worth the wait.

Food is good. Soup was cold. Service friendly. Menu doesn't match what's actually available at prime time - frustrating.

What a great little spot to have breakfast or baked goods. We chose a great eggs and bacon breakfast with delicious potatoes. Very friendly staff and wonderful little outdoor tables as well as indoor dining. Great coffee selection! Would definitely recommend it! read more

Th croissants we had were delicious. Can't wait to try some other pastries! Service was efficient they had buzzers for when your food was ready so it made the morning rush much more enjoyable. read more

The BEST NEW addition to downtown Grand lake! Great baked items! Wonderful spot! Great coffee! Walk right down to the water anytime as well! Love this place read more

I want to love this place. The line out the door suggests everyone else loves this place. I'm still not convinced after multiple visits. The cinnamon roll is over sweet, the hot chocolate is "death by chocolate" level of chocolaty, the lemon square has a slightly too salty crust. I ordered an iced tea, but they were out except for the dregs, so the cup was half filled and then taken away to be filled with water: not so strong when I was able to take a sip. Why not offer me another option? Haven't tried any of their heartier offerings yet, but they look delicious. Maybe my next visit will sway me. read more

We ordered the Count grilled cheese and the strawberry cream cheese croissant. Food was very good. read more
