    This charming little shop is tucked away just off the main street and serves great coffee. I ordered a London Fog, and it was fantastic! They offer a large selection of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan food options, making it an excellent place for a light breakfast. For vegetarians, there is a wide variety of offerings, and I highly recommend this spot for anyone with dietary restrictions.

    Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. This would have been a 5 star it was just way over priced for what you get. Turkey bacon melt on sour dough was really good and light, same with the Ruben. The Paloma's were strong and really good. Lots of different cocktails options and weekend drink specials. There needs to be more inside seating but they had good amount of outdoor seating. All the employees were super nice and seemed like they really liked their job.

    Vegan breakfast burrito.

    We stopped in for breakfast when visiting this morning. It was very busy as this is clearly a popular place. One person was taking orders for a line of people that went out the door but it seemed like an efficient system. We ordered a small iced coffee, a vegan muffin, a vegan breakfast burrito and a full order of biscuits and gravy and it came to over 50 with tip. My iced coffee was good but I couldn't really taste the orange cardamom flavoring. It didn't take too long for our food to come out and the staff was really attentive to make sure everything was ok. I really loved the vegan burrito even though there was no salsa on the side. The vegan meat and tofu scramble it in were really good I would definitely recommend it. My husband said the biscuits and egg were good with his order but he wasn't a big fan of the gravy which he said had a slightly sweet taste. The vegan gluten free strawberry chocolate muffin was good but not great. We would definitely come back to this place next time we are in town.

    Food and drinks were delicious! Staff and service were top notch, super friendly. Vibes good too! Open seating though but it will always work itself out, we walked in with a party of 4 and got a table right away during busy time :)

    Stopped in Buena Vista for lunch on a roadtrip. The downtown strip had restaurants and coffee shops with other shopping available. Cool River has a small outdoor patio and seating inside. You place your order, then the staff brings out your order. I ordered the Power Salad, which was delicious!! Spinach, arugula, blueberries, quinoa, chickpeas, avocado, cukes. So tasty! They had plenty of other salads that looked super tasty. I would definitely return.

    My $17 wrap came with frozen chicken on it.. I would not recommend if you're looking for a good quality meal.

    Overpriced. Just a cafe not very family friendly. Waitress was rude concerned more about pepper shakers than customers

    Buena Vista Coffee Roasters is a gem in this small mountain community. Before we visited, I…read moresearched for a great coffee shop for my afternoon pick-me-up, and the reviews were absolutely right--this place is amazing. They roast their beans in-house, which means every cup starts with incredibly fresh coffee. I ordered a latte with whole milk--no sugar or syrups--and it was exceptionally smooth. The beans had natural notes of fruit and nuts, making the coffee flavorful without needing any sweeteners. The patio is a great place to rascals the summer heat. I only have one regret: I wish I had bought a bag or two of beans to bring back to Denver.

    Small, classic town... We kind of stayed out of town. Unfortunately wish we were closer to the…read moreBuena Vista Roastery. We went into a couple of other supposed coffee stores in this little town and they really didn't have what we wanted which was a cortado. Most of the people didn't even know what we're talking about. And suggested that we go to Buena Vista Roastery. Really nice set up. Wonderful cortados and espresso americanos, etc. etc. Also had some Nice baked goods and a real cool vibe. You could sit inside or outside. When we were. There was pretty hot so we stayed inside, but it's a hopping place. Lots of people on their laptops, apple parking and again, a really great vibe to the place. People that work. There were really nice and we would absolutely come back.

It was very obvious this was a local hangout for breakfast after a short time there. It was as a vet quaint setting from the decorations to the very friendly server. We both had the early bird special, 2eggs, choice of bread and protein and your drink. The food was great, just the perfect amount of food to hold one over for a morning of paddling. Really a great place.

The Chile rellenos were like some terrible version you find in terrible food places like eastern Oklahoma. The star of the relleno should be the chile, not the breading. It was almost all this way overdone breading. Not good at all. The "green chili" was as spicy as milk and equally as flavorful. My brother said the breakfast burrito was terrible. I saw it, and it did not look appetizing. Some of the "green chili" drizzled on top like an afterthought. Dry and uninspired. My son enjoyed his simple plate of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast, but those who ordered the Mexican food inspired dishes were majorly disappointed. As far as service, we waited forever to order. Our drinks were constantly empty. The server was very polite but things like missing items, missing silverware, empty coffees and waters starts to add up to a negative experience. Nice views outside and the place is clean so atmosphere is fine, but the rest was severely lacking.
