    Large iced Snickers

    I got a large iced Snickers coffee and it was delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side but that's what I normally go for. To be fair, they did warn me that the Snickers drink is sweeter than the Milky Way (the other fun option) so next time I might try the Milky Way, but I wanted to go all out for this first time! The outdoor patio was nice and the location is great! Overall a great spot.

    We stopped by Vail Village to peruse a bit before we headed back to the city. But first, we came to Loaded Joe's for a quick breakfast and some coffee as they had a nice selection of coffees, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and more. It's one of the more affordable options in these neck of the woods as well. I ordered a medium milky way and we also got two breakfast burritos to share as I had read they are quite large. It was quiet and slow when we arrived so our order came out pretty quickly. We opted to eat outside on the patio to enjoy the fresh mountain air and listen to the stream that runs next to the coffee shop. They have a handful of tables outside and I would definitely recommend sitting out there when the weather is nice. They do have some seats available inside along with some big, comfy couches if you're looking to get cozy. The coffee was on the sweet end and had an almost alcoholic aftertaste to me, but I still liked it. We also enjoyed our burritos and it was the perfect size to share. All in all, it was a great way to start our morning and would recommend a stop here.

    Bathroom entrance

    Would rate 0 stars if I could. Disgusted after witnessing the person selling / handling my sandwich was the manager- I work for a major f&b company, requires all salaried managers to be food safe certified. I can tell the people at this establishment are not. Manager 'Brant' was making my sandwich after smoking a cigarette and not his washing hands. Please think twice before visiting this location. Disgusting sanitary practices. Let me know once your 'manager' has been fired and the sanitation policies are up to standards and maybe will reconsider returning. Thanks! Only cool thing about this place- the bathroom painting. Don't waste your time or risk your health.

    The coffee is supremely terrible here. Service was fine and convenient location, but wouldn't return

    Almond milk latte with a little bit of cinnamon on top!

    Yummy almond milk latte! It was perfectly smooth and had a great flavor! The baristas were kind and quick! A little hidden gem in Vail. The size of the iced coffee makes the price (in my opinion) worth it!

    Mocha and Mexican coffee

    Came here for coffee before our hike early morning. I got the mocha and it was a little too bold for my taste. My friend got Mexican coffee with an extra shot and she mentioned it tasted watered down. The service was awesome and I liked how they word played the tip jars...pretty funny. But their coffee was just ok.

    I stopped in here for a gourmet coffee drink because I was sick of drinking my cheap hotel coffee. Loaded Joe's is conveniently located near the entrance of Vail Village by the highway. Even though I was in and out, I enjoyed how quick and easy I was able to get my coffee drink. Loaded Joe's gets their beans from Rococo Coffee Roasting - a Seattle based company. The nice thing about this place is that they also serve breakfast and lunch sandwiches, beer, wine, and cocktails. I got a Spanish Coffee and enjoyed how smooth and fresh my coffee tasted.

    1 star just because I have to. I asked for slight modifications to a smoothie (my husband had done this the previous day with 0 issues) and they were visibly upset. NOTE - theses weren't prepackaged smoothies so they had all the ingredients available and I only asked for them to add banana + peanut butter and no apple juice. They proceeded to loudly make fun of my smoothie order while making it and then when finished, they put on the counter and said "whatever this is".... Extremely rude staff. Only recommend if you want a sour start to your day.

    Maleina was so incredibly helpful when I went in to get something for my kiddos. They loved their drinks and I would definitely come back!

    While staying in Vail, my wife and I were looking for a good breakfast spot, so we stopped by the…read morefront desk and asked about a couple places we had found on Yelp to see if they had any recommendations. They weren't too familiar with the breakfast at the places we mentioned, but one person immediately said, "There's The Little Diner right down the street. It's very good and has even been featured on the Food Network." We decided to give it a try, and we are very glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and sat at the counter. At the time we were the only customers there. A very nice lady brought us water and got me a coffee while we looked over the menu. It actually took us a while to decide because there were so many great sounding options. As we sat there deciding, more and more people started coming in. My wife ordered the sausage gravy over a biscuit with eggs and cheese grits, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The flavors matched the presentation too. My wife said the sausage gravy was outstanding, and my Eggs Benedict was excellent as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were very good, and the hollandaise sauce had great flavor. While sitting at the counter, we spent some time talking with our server. She told us she had been there since shortly after the diner first opened. Unfortunately, she also explained that the building is scheduled to be demolished so condos can be built above the property, and they are unsure whether the diner will be able to return afterward. It's honestly sad to hear about a place this good possibly being pushed out because of rising development and rental costs. I understand building owners want to maximize profits, but it's disappointing when small local businesses that people truly enjoy are forced out by higher rents and redevelopment. Places like this are what give towns character. Overall, this place was excellent. Great food, friendly people, and exactly the kind of local spot you hope to find while traveling.
