    Avocado toast
    Richard W.

    This cafe is smack dab in the middle of a high end retail store. Pretty unique trend in starting to see across different industries. Shaved Prime rib panini Prime rib, horseradish havarto cheese, roasted tomato aioli, tart and needs more protein. A little sloppy to eat, but lots of flavors going on here. Bavarian Pretzel An amazing get - comes out super fresh and warm and soft in the middle. They give you sweet and spicy mustard on the side. Avocado Toast Basic with only avocado and tomato slices... relatively plain as this dish could use more creativity. Impressively done new concept cafe combined with retail. That's all

    Mexican hot chocolate

    Not to be confused with the Gorsuch only store down the road. We wandered around that whole store because that's the address we had received. We were initially going to go to the famous hot coco place but not only did they raise their prices, they had over an hour wait. This cafe is genius marketing and in a very convenient location. Especially for the price I was very satisfied with my Mexican hot coco! They also have a whole cocktail menu with great prices, so I recommend checking that out as well. There is limited seating but it's a decent place to sit & chat for a moment if you can grab a seat.

    Warm Ham and Egg Croissant

    First and foremost, staff and service is mostly awful. There are a few friendly folks working there but most of them seem abrupt, arrogant and carry the demeanor of people doing a job that they hate and treat their customers in a similar manner. This is consistent with another review from a year ago and I 100% agree with her experience. I'll start with the strength. The strudel is tasty and I'd recommend grabbing it for a snack if you are standing there waiting on family or friends. And now for the rest of the "story." The "beef chili" is mostly beans. They should state that its BEANS and beef chili, not beef chili. It should also be clear that the beef is a minor, not predominant ingredient. None the less, it was enjoyable, albeit a bit salty. The customer service problem is that its supposed to come with two cheddar biscuits. The first time I ordered it, they just left them out of the bag. Simple oversight or so I thought. The second time I ordered it, the middle aged women tending the register said they didn't have any biscuits and they were making more. I asked how long and she said about 10 minutes. I responded, "About or exactly?" "Is it possible to get a specific time?" She replied, "I don't know." She then volunteered they have no substitutions and I could take it or leave it. At that point, I concluded they just don't have biscuits generally available and they should price accordingly or offer an alternative. Simply bad service and poor management. The photos on this review are of the "warm ham, cheese, and egg" croissant. This was sadly abysmal. One thinks of a croissant sandwich when marketed this way, not a small piece of egg, cheese and ham tucked under a flap and left in a warming drawyer. This should be made clear. Further compounding the FAIL of this item is the dough wasn't fully cooked and it was chewy and doughy. I cannot discourage you more from spending your $$ at the cafe. There are plenty of perfectly good venues for snacks, coffee and lunch within steps of this place where the staff is friendly and helpful. Maybe they think they can get away with this because they slapped Gorsuch on the cafe name; but if overpriced and lackluster food compounded with poor service is what they were seeking a reputation for then they've achieved their goal.

    I loved this spot! Right in Vail Village. Not a whole lot of seating inside but we were lucky and able to sit in the benches and enjoy the scenery right outside. Spent over an hour here and it was great.

    Mexican hot chocolate

    The hot chocolate was nice in the cold weather. It was hard to find this place based on the location given on Yelp. Couldn't afford any of the clothing though, lol.

    My favorite coffee shop in Vail. It is right by the ski lift so it's super continent. Their staff is always very friendly and willing to accommodate special requests. Coffee is delicious. It is also a cute store selling ski items as well as some home decor (actually, it's more of a museum, unless you have $$$$$ to spend on random things). Plenty of room to relax and enjoy your coffee inside and outside! Pastries never looked good to me but maybe I will try something next time!

    We wanted to check out a new coffee spot in Vail since we have been frequenting Big Bear every morning and this place was pretty disappointing in comparison. Like others have mentioned, the staff aren't too kind and don't make you feel invited. The pastry case isn't labeled, so you'll have to ask them. Cafe Mocha was ok. Latte with Lavender was not well blended at all. Cranberry Apricot scone was dry. Nothing was worth the insane prices. Overall, I would recommend the walk to Two Arrows or Big Bear Bistro.

    Great coffee, with a bit of shopping. "Stammtisch" community tables encourage getting to know your neighbors.

    Half eaten tomato, cheese, egg sandwich. It was really good!
    Sarah N.

    This is such a cute little spot right next to Gondola 1. I like their coffees and pastries, but most of all I like the egg, cheese, and tomato morning sandwich. Surprisingly it tasted good. Their service is friendly and the locker room staff is super nice. Such a convenient location.

    Cappuccino and Chocolate hazelnut Croissant
    Laura L.

    Overall - No, just, no.The interior of this place is warm, inviting and makes you want to take alll the photos for Instagram. I cannot say the same for the staff. Almost every worker is the epitome of pretentious. I overheard the staff making fun of a few customers who walked out and declaring that they purposefully overcharge people they don't like. Darling, sweetheart, you're a barista. Get over yourself. If you're looking to experience some of the snobbiest minimum wage workers in the world, this is your place. Coffee was over priced and sub-pare (I got an oat milk Lavender Cap) however I will admit the hazelnut croissant was delicious. If you must go, run in, grab a pastry and run out.

    Extremely rude staff, product is cute but overpriced. When you walk in you feel like your don't them a favor shopping in their store

    Great little spot to snag a good tea/coffee. They also have some nice seating if you're looking to settle in for a bit and warm up.

    A fantastic light fare experience. The younger fellow who's worked here for well over a decade is very pleasant and the location is optimum.

    Coffee is great. Pretzel is a must. Small is really small so be sure and go big. Not a whole lot of seating
