    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

    Going to be honest here that I really just wanted to get a drink because the cup was really cute and had the skiers on it. I wasn't expecting much because it is a luxury clothing and retail store first (a great one at that). I was expecting the service to be better/friendlier and the chai latte to be better. Prices are average and nothing out of the ordinary for the area, but my drink was just average unfortunately. There are other coffee places I would stop before I would come back here again.

    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
    Anthony W.

    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.

    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!

    Pastry - $5.50 per

    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.

    While I understand this is a franchise, it isn't from Florida, so very different for me!…read more I was very impressed at the full flavor cold brew (and not iced coffee) they had and the assortment of matcha, tea, and lattes for my family. A great place to come back to for any season because they switch out their flavors and merchandise (really loved all of the Yetis on Yeti mugs) Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who were there to chat and help with any question you might have. I was very impressed and was insanely busy and popular... and for good reason! Keep it up! I'll be back before I leave, for sure and grabbed some beans for the road!

    Yeti's Grind, what the actual fuck is going on over there?…read more I came in looking for coffee and a cinnamon roll. Somehow I left with five complaints, an identity crisis, and a growing suspicion that nobody in this building has ever met a bottle of leather conditioner. Let's start with the chairs. Those leather chairs are DRY. Not "could use a little moisturizer" dry. I mean divorced-dad-elbows-in-February dry. I sat down and the leather made a noise that sounded like it was begging me to finish it off. Those chairs are one ass cheek away from splitting open like a gas-station hot dog. Buy some leather conditioner. Rub it in. Sensually if necessary. At this point, those chairs need foreplay. Next: the cinnamon roll. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CINNAMON? Calling this thing a cinnamon roll is like calling a handjob a honeymoon. Technically something happened, but nobody should be satisfied. I want CINNAMON. I want enough cinnamon that when I take the first bite, my Apple Watch asks if I've been exposed to an industrial spice accident. Right now the cinnamon is apparently working remotely. A few other items that need immediate executive attention: First, your napkins have the structural integrity of wet toilet paper. I wiped my mouth once and the napkin disintegrated in my hand like it had just been told it was getting laid off. I need a napkin that can handle some shit. Literally and metaphorically. Second, the bathroom lighting can go fuck itself. I walked in feeling pretty good about myself. Then I looked in the mirror and apparently I'm a 58-year-old fugitive who sleeps behind a Bass Pro Shops. Nobody needs that kind of truth before 10 a.m. Dim the lights. Add a flattering bulb. Hell, install a Snapchat filter. Lie to me. I'm paying for the experience. Third, the tables wobble just enough to make you question whether you're having a minor stroke. Every time I touched my coffee, the table moved. For ten minutes I genuinely couldn't tell if the furniture was unstable or if my nervous system had finally given up. But now we need to discuss the coffee handoff situation because this shit is insane. When you put two drinks in front of customers, isn't it fairly standard coffee-shop behavior to SAY WHAT THE FUCKING DRINKS ARE? Something simple. "Latte." "Mocha." "Yours." "Hers." Anything. Instead, two cups got dropped in front of us like we had just entered the final round of a game show. No labels. No explanation. Just vibes. Am I supposed to smell them? Lick the lids? Take a sip out of both and play caffeine roulette? Have people evolved and nobody told me? Do Gen Z customers now come equipped with some sort of beverage-recognition organ? Maybe I'm supposed to put on Meta glasses: "Scanning..." "Foam density detected." "Vanilla molecules present." "98% probability this belongs to the blonde woman sitting next to you." Maybe artificial intelligence has gotten so advanced that apparently the fucking coffee no longer requires human communication. I might be the idiot here. Maybe normal people can stare at two beige beverages and immediately know their destiny. I cannot. So please, Yeti's Grind: Condition your leather. Put some actual fucking cinnamon on the cinnamon roll. Buy napkins capable of surviving human contact. Fix the interrogation-room bathroom lighting. Stabilize the tables. And when you put somebody's $8 coffee in front of them, maybe tell them WHICH FUCKING COFFEE IT IS. Otherwise I'm calling corporate. I don't know if Yeti's Grind even has a corporate office. But I'm imagining a gigantic pissed-off Yeti in a three-piece suit sitting behind a walnut desk in a mountain cave. And believe me... That hairy bastard is getting an email. Get your shit together, Yeti's Grind. I say this with love. Mostly.

    This appeared to be a beautiful French restaurant in Vail, so I made a point to make this the first…read morestop in Vail. In fact, we were the first guests to arrive! As anticipated, the place was gorgeous...with a slightly formal air. Given that it was in the Vail Village (near the ski slope), my husband was able to enter the place in his rugged ski suit. Despite the ambiance, it was a bit dead. I was disappointed with the lack of French music overhead...though maybe it was on so low, I didn't hear it? There were plenty of breakfast-brunch options, but on the menu, some items were noted as taking 20 minutes (which we didn't have time for!), so I was a tad bummed about that. In any case, my husband chose this Huckleberry Bacon French Toast, and I ordered the Maryland Crab Benedict. For drinks, we both just ordered plain coffee. As expected, the foods were good. I was more impressed with my husband's choice, this super-fancy french toast. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted spectacular! Mine was good, but disappointing at the same time. I really liked the Crab Benedict, but I only half-liked the side salad (basically just Arugula with a few Walnuts and Figs). The total bill for these items ran over 100 bucks... which, was to be expected in Vail. However, for such a pricey breakfast, I felt that I should have absolutely loved it...but it felt short of that. Overall, I just expected a bit more from this breakfast experience. Again, the decor was gorgeous, but the ambiance wasn't fully there (because of the lack of music?). Service felt a bit short-skimpy as well. Foods were good, but mine especially (Crab Benedict) felt a bit lacking. Let's just say that I've had Crab Benedicts as just as good for half the price...and with better sides. Maybe lunch or dinner experience is better here? In any case, am glad we checked out the place...but I doubt I'll choose it for breakfast again.
