    Cracked open Reuben sandwich, millenial bacon melt, pasta salad
    Steve S.

    I don't understand how people have rated this restaurant so low. It is very good with very reasonable prices. The Cracked Open Reuben sandwich is as good as you can get in New York. The basic burger (not pictured) was perfectly cooked and bigger than expected. The millennial melt was so good with Gouda and perfectly ripened smash avocado. The side of pasta salad that came with our sandwiches has a touch of dill and is some of the best pasta salad that I have ever had.

    Great Evergreen coffee shop. Super nice waitstaff. You can sit inside or outside. Comfy couch and chairs or wooden 4 tops. My cappuccino and lemon bar were spot on.

    Great spot right in central downtown Evergreen. More than just a coffee shop, Java Groove has a wide variety of options for everything from a light snack to a full meal. We stopped in after a nice walk around Evergreen lake for a hot chocolate, mocha, etc. There is plenty of seating, including a charming couch area around a fake fireplace. Good for sitting and reading, getting some work done, a chat with friends... Worth a look if you're in the area.

    Very cozy coffee shop. They have a wood stove, plenty of seating, and a little area with a couch, tv, puzzles, etc. I got a lavender latte and it tastes delicious. The ladies working seemed really cool :) Thank you!

    Cute little cafe with an adorable inner atmosphere! Friendly service with lots of flavor options for lattes and other espresso drinks. They offer regular dairy milk, almond, and oat. 4 stars because my latte was good, just nothing out of the ordinary, and there was a $1 up-charge for plant milk which wasn't necessary.

    The cherry square pastries are a must have and the service was great! Definitely worth dropping in for a coffee.

    The Secret's Out: Why Evergreen Bread & Cocktail Lounge is Our Forever Favorite…read moreFor a few years now, my wife and I have considered this place our little "under-the-radar" sanctuary. But let's be honest--when a spot is this good, a secret stays a secret for about as long as a fresh loaf of their bread lasts on a table. (Which is to say: not long at all.) Here is why Evergreen Bread & Cocktail Lounge remains our absolute go-to: * The Vibe: The atmosphere strikes that perfect, rare balance between sophisticated and soulful. Whether you're there for a quiet morning reflective coffee or a lively evening drink, the ambiance just works. * The Bread (Oh, The Bread!): It's the undisputed star of the show. It's consistent, artisanal, and frankly, addictive. If you haven't tried it yet, consider this your formal intervention. * More Than Just a Bakery: They consistently turn out dishes that are as thoughtful as they are delicious. From the first bite to the last sip of coffee, you can tell the kitchen actually cares. * The People: A restaurant can have great decor, but it's the staff that gives it a heart. The team here couldn't be warmer or more attentive; they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The Verdict? If you're looking for a spot that nails the transition from "morning bakery bliss" to "evening lounge elegance," this is it. We're already counting down the days until our next visit. Highly recommended--just don't be surprised if you have to fight us for a seat!

We ordered the meatball sub, the hot Italian grinder, the BLT, and the soup and salad combo. Everything as usual, was fresh and delicious but I will say since I was last there, their portions and prices have definitely increased and sharing a sandwich between two would totally be fine!

There was also a live guitar performance that added a nice touch to the overall vibe. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are great options.

Our server was very friendly and welcoming, and overall we had a great experience and would happily come back.

    Not so hidden gem!…read more We finished a hike in Evergreen and headed for brunch at Blackbird cafe. It was about 10am and we waited for an outside seat for about 20 minutes. They were busy but churning tables in and out. Limited parking is available in front but we did what most were doing, parked on the side of the road across from the restaurant. It was great to see how young people (teenagers and early 20 years olds) were working at this local spot. They were also doing an amazing job being attentive. We got the tea of the Tillman drink to soothe our thirst after a hike and the summer heat. It was tart but refreshing. I have never had a drink like it before. I highly recommend trying it. We ordered chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and the mushroom omelette. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and came away full! If you're in the area around breakfast or lunch time, stop in. They have deserts and hand pies to-go. We didn't try them but they looked delicious.

Communal style tables, a mini book store, attached to a wine bar. This place has some attractive quirks to make it stand out from the average deli. They have a large menu with sandwiches, wraps, and all day breakfast. I think next time I'd stick with breakfast! CLEAR CREEK CLUB // Lightly peppered pan roasted turkey breast, shaved ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and mayo on sourdough bread. Admittedly, this is a very simple sandwich that anyone could assemble at home, but it's what I was in the mood for! However, the most disappointing aspect for me was the bread. They say it's sourdough, well it tasted like untoasted white bread...I was hungry, I powered through. When an average sandwich at best and a small drip coffee runs you $22, I have some room to question the quality of my experience. I'm grabbing the sandwich, bussing the table, getting the coffee, etc. Not running back here, especially since there are a few places in Idaho Springs I really enjoy going to. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I'd be open to giving them another shot in the future!

    Very torn on the Muddy Buck - it didn't live up to my expectations…read more The good: 1) The ambiance! They have the mountain town atmosphere and decor down. The seating is a fun mix of tables and comfy couches, plus outside patio seating. There is a selection of board and card games available, and a slightly tucked away book for those who want some privacy (as I did on my morning visit, to take a work call). 2) The chocolate chip walnut cookies are SO good! Definitely get it warmed up. 3) Free wifi. The less good: 1) Given they roast their own coffee I had high expectations on the taste of my latte but it was just okay, nothing standout. 2) The cinnamon rolls are another thing the Muddy Buck is known for and maybe I just got one from a day-old / less fresh batch but it wasn't that great. The edges were crispy - not sure if that's intentional - I prefer my cinnamon rolls soft & pillowy. 3) The service is hit-or-miss and their overall workflow needs some adjusting. After most orders the cashier would walk away and tell the next person in line they'll be with them in just a few minutes, even if it wasn't that busy. When I got my Italian soda, I didn't get my cookie - I was told they were still working on it (it was in the display case) - yet my friend who ordered after me got her soda and cookie at the same time. I had to go up again to ask for it. 4) They're inconsistent with their use of disposable vs reusable packaging. My latte was in a to-go cup despite dining in and plenty of reusable mugs hanging there. Cinnamon roll came on a plate. Italian soda was a to-go cup. Cookie was in a to-go bag. They have both reusable and disposable silverware. Some adjustments are needed IMO.
