    The Establishment!

    Cute little coffee shop,1st place we visited while staying in Granby for a week. Great outside seating,nice employees and the breakfast was good too. The coffee didn't knock my socks off but it wasn't bad either,I would definitely go back.

    Very cute coffee place in Granby. Reasonable prices for big portion meals - we got a wrap and a burger. The fries are worth the extra $2 - perfectly crispy and warm, delicious. We also got a tea. Beautiful view of the mountain as you eat. Great place to stop for a quick coffee or lunch on the way to Steamboat Springs from Winter Park! The seating area in the back is really nice with games and a cozy couch- this place is huge!

    I went to Java Lava for breakfast and ordered biscuits and gravy, G Skillet and Huevos. The biscuits and gravy lacked flavor, lacked sausage and the biscuit didn't taste homemade. The G Skillet had a little kick and flavor was good. My favorite was the huevos, this had the best flavor and the refried beans tasted great on this breakfast plate. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was what I would expect for a breakfast diner.

    The food, especially the huevos, had incredibly small servings for how expensive it was. It was an order the counter. My chai was far too sweet, especially since it was a spicy chai, and my husband's latte tasted like there was no flavor in it. The food was just okay. It wasn't super bad, but I wouldn't recommend that anybody come here. Limited service since it was an at the counter ordering process, and the ambiance of the place was cute, but not even close to worth the sum of money we spent.

    My fiancé and I were looking for a good spot to have breakfast before heading to sulfur springs, and this place popped us, so we decided to give it a try. Welcoming spot, lots of people and a line, so it's obviously popular, they have a huge space up front as well as a huge space in back, so plenty of spots to sit. Their menu was pretty good, definitely something for everyone. My fiancé got unsweetened iced tea and it had floating gunk, looked like mold. We both got potato based dishes - definitely diner food like a high class Denny's. Personally, wouldn't be back, but it's did the job for quick, greasy breakfast.

    For a small town, we were so pleased to have stopped into Java Lava Cafe. It's easy to see why they are rated so highly. Super colorful interior, friendly down home staff and pretty speedy service. We stopped in on our way back from boarding and enjoyed our meal here. We had breakfast - served all day (until they close at 2 pm) but if you're a lunch person, they also have a lunch menu. He had Huevos and I ordered the G Skillet. Great flavor - no Cholula sauce needed. Love that mine included green chili sauce. Yum. Thanks again, Yelp and fellow Yelpers, to make our morning breakfast stop amazing.

    I have been to Granby 4 times and absolutely love this place. Their coffee selection is amazing. Their full serve breakfast is so satisfying. The grab and go burritos are a home run. Love the fact that locals gather and enjoy good breakfast, atmosphere and conversation. Pretty cool. People serving are amazing. Refreshing in this day and age. Can't wait to make my way back over the pass again.

    Great quick breakfast. The family enjoyed waffles, egg sandwiches, and pancakes. The pancakes were huge.

    Java Lava has good food, good value for money, and great staff. We ate there twice while on vacation and thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

    This place is SPECIAL! A little haven during your skication. Open for lunch, apres, and dinner…read moreand always a win. Fantastic service (Josh is the greatest), fantastic food, and fantastic drinks, you're going to struggle to have a bad time here. BONUS: They have a walk up window outside for drinks and food during the day! Everything on the menu is fantastic and little vacation within itself. It gets crazy busy, but they move the menu quickly and it won't be long before you are sitting down. For the win: Grab a Colorado Bulldog or Craft Beer to start. Hot Choccy for the kids. First bites are the Elk Chili or the Buffalo Wings, the biggest and meatiest wings you will ever see. For dinner, try the Short Rib Ragout or the Prime Dip. For dessert, the Crème Broulee is a can't miss'

    Woo, okay this is going to be a long one…read more... Bluebird bistro was a rollercoaster ride, starting with a frustrating welcome. We called ahead to see if they could accommodate our group of (14). The "helpful" person on the phone offered two options: 1. We could be seated separately at different tables right away OR 2. Wait about an hour for one large table. We decided to go with option 1. Arrived at the restaurant just 5 mins later (we were literally already down the road), only for that exact person to tell us when arriving a completely different story. She claimed that we didn't call her back to let her know we were on our way... ? .... Therefore she had no wait time for us and didn't know how long it'll be.. uh? Ok? We were all confused, and frustrated. As we talked amongst ourselves in the waiting area, we decided we were going to take our business elsewhere..... well what do you know suddenly a table was ready for us. At this point, it was getting late, chilly and hangry. We decided to stay and give it a try. And honestly I'm happy we did because we were blessed with a waitress named Kendra, who was phenomenal! Kendra transformed our experience, her service was top-notch. When a few people in our group were not happy with their drinks/orders, she quickly took the items off the check and brought out replacements. I had ordered the elote nachos, and they arrived without queso, instead of just bringing a side of cheese, Kendra took the entire plate back and returned with a fresh, hot order made correctly. Let's talk FOOD: Honestly it was mostly a hit. My margarita pizza was delicious. the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the balsamic drizzle was a perfect touch. The others in our group were happy with their pizzas, wings, burgers, and steaks. Even the kids seemed pretty happy with their basic chicken fingers and fries( lol ) .... I was told the only miss were the fish tacos, which were on the dry side, and my elote nachos. While the nachos were good, they didn't have much of the classic "elote" I was hoping for like the crumbles of cheese, sauce etc... Overall, it was a decent spot, and thanks to Kendra, our meal/experience was really SAVED. I took off stars because again while the food was generally good, the confusing and unwelcoming check-in process was a major let down.
