We came here on a Sunday during the farmers market and they were quite busy, I understand that for the line not to get backed up they have to take your order as fast as possible but it felt very rushed. I did ask if I could get my breakfast sandwich on a bagel, which must be something of annoyance that they get asked a lot because the girl taking our order was not happy and let me know that they don't do bagel sandwiches, no big deal I took the $9 sandwich the way it comes, I also got a small latte and they do remind you that it comes in an 8oz cup which is very small, my boyfriend got a mocha and breakfast burrito that was $11 and for the sauce they use a spicy ketchup instead of a salsa or green chili which was awful and he couldn't finish it. I don't mean to sound entitled but when spending $30 on two drinks and two to go breakfasts, you just expect better. read more

Vail is a small skiing town in Colorado just about 100 miles east of Denver. Make sure you park in the parking garage just past the two "roundabouts" from the off ramp(there's absolutely NO parking near Loaded Joes). I wanted to stop somewhere that wasn't a McDonald's or Taco Bell, AND also had good coffee. After an hour of driving, "Loaded Joes" was the spot we picked and I am quite satisfied with our decision. It's located in a small room down a slightly lower level on Bridge St. There's was a lovely young woman(working completely solo!) taking orders and making breakfast burritos & sandwiches. I ordered a drip French Roast and was very well pleased on how fresh the coffee tasted. I also ordered a "Loaded Burrito" and my wife a poppyseed bagel with peanut butter. The food & coffee(not to mention the great attitude of the barista, working totally alone) put me in such great mood that I also paid for a root beer and peanut butter cookie on the way out. I hope tons of people go to LOADED JOES and it stays open a long time. I'll come back whenever I pass thru Vail. read more

This is the BEST coffee in Vail. Right around the corner from Starbucks (just keep walking! ) and downstairs. Super friendly staff with AMAZING coffee. I've had americanos and the Spanish Coffee, always outstanding. I usually have to go twice a day! Tiny space, but a great vibe. read more

Food was great but service was awful super rude people. Chicken tenders were insanely good but the cashier couldn't have been ruder

Low quality espresso, unfortunately seemed like it sat out for too long and tasted stale. Enjoyed the offerings at "Two Arrows Coffee" much more! Decent location, but plenty of other coffee shops in the area that are much more worthwhile with better quality coffee & espresso. read more

I am personally not a fan of this place, but my boyfriend really liked it. We came here for breakfast and I got the breakfast burrito with a few substitutions, and it was very mediocre. They don't have avocado so I got guacamole which was a mistake, it's really just not the same. Then I got the strawberry banana smoothie which honestly just tasted like nesquick strawberry milk. I was not impressed and wouldn't come back. However, the waitstaff was very friendly. And my boyfriend really liked his bagel sandwich and his berry smoothie (I thought the two smoothies tasted the same). read more

This place is complicated. Is it a coffee bar? Beer? Liquor? Smoothies? Random food? Juice? Sure, why not! We got a smoothie that was $7 and tasted very off, like an ingredient was spoiled. We brought it back after walking out and politely approached the man at the counter and said the smoothie wasn't great could we please get a different one. Another guy came over and very aggressively told us it's exactly how a healthy smoothie tastes. It was a bummer of an encounter and we didn't enjoy it. He did make us another smoothie so props to him for following through on customer service after being a douche at least, I guess. Not a fan of this place. Ps.. second smoothie tasted just as bad. We threw it out. read more

Need a pick me up after or before the slopes? Look down for Loaded Joe's. No literally, look down... it's in the basement of a building. Inside the small space are about 4 bar stool seats and a little bit of area to stand. Look for the coffee menu on the support pole in the middle of the room instead of on the wall behind the counter. I totally missed it! Otherwise I may have ordered something other than chai latte. But it was a happy mistake, because that chai was decent. Plus, they made it with almond milk (take that Starbucks!). Can't speak for any food other than the croissant I ordered. It was as expected. Price is what you expect in Vail. I wasn't surprised. Ain't like your gonna order off the dollar menu here. Warning: Bathroom is teeeeeeny tiny. If you have snow gear on, you will be doing an interesting shimmy shimmy shake to hit the porcelain throne. read more

I got a hot chocolate using a coupon, and I wanted to upgrade the small to a large. I was about to get charged $2.95 even though the difference was $1.50 (small is $3, large is $4.50). I questioned this, and they told me their system couldn't just charge for the upgrade. If that's the case, why was my card taken and a random amount charged? So I said I'll just take the small, and then the person swiped my card for $3.25, which was very strange. I looked at him very oddly, and then he realized he wasn't supposed to charge me and gave me cash for the amount he swiped. He gave me $3. $3, not $3.25 that he swiped. It's only a quarter, but what kind of business makes a mistake (or two, rather) and then takes their customers' money? Dishonest twice in a very short amount of time, and also the hot chocolate wasn't good at all. There was a layer of powder at the bottom and the hot chocolate was very sugary. Would not recommend this place. read more

The service was terrible, the girl helping us was not at all helpful. When asking for condiment substitutions, the girl rolled her eyes and shook her head as if she were confused. The tuna sandwich had NO flavor. I don't recommend this place. read more

Great atmosphere and great electronic music playing... great service. We got the mate latte which was tasty...the selection of coffee looks really good. read more

Our favorite coffee and breakfast spot in Vail. Perfect for grabbing a latte and bagel before hitting the slopes! Also, the açaí bowl is a nice afternoon treat. Love the place! read more

Walked by this place several times without even realizing it since it hides in its little underground corner but once I found it I didn't want to leave it! Snug and mellow with its delicious coffee and full bar! We started with coffee but then switched to harder stuff. We weren't skiing that day so we beat the après rush and got a spot at the little bar. When the skiers showed up for their après ski shots we had already been there for a few hours enjoying the wifi and atmosphere so we cleared out. I would have loved to stay longer or have come back for the late night bingo, but sadly had to go pack up. Next time we will start our trip with some spanish coffee from here and we'll be sure to try out the food! read more

Would leave 0 stars if I could. One of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had, all because I asked the employee who was making my drink to please wash their hands first after they were outside smoking a cigarette. Their response was so rude and obnoxious that I ended up cancelling my order. read more

AMAZING!! Go here if you're looking for coffee that hits the spot. I went here after finding out that Starbucks was closed so I was forced to find another option. And I'm so glad that I did. The coffee was incredible and strong which is how I like it. It's a quaint little spot located underneath a main shopping strip so it's a little hidden gem. read more

This is an absolute must stop in Vail. No ego, or high noses here. Nothing but smiles and big hospitality. My girl and I had the pleasure of meeting "Bennie" and we could have spent all night there had we not had later plans. read more

Awesome Go-to coffee shop central to Vail. Great latte and drip coffee. Muffin presentation was mediocre with too tightly wrapped product, but this is a Covid-time so I forgive them. Met a friend here and sat on the patio. read more

Service was good. Ambiance was great. Food is better. Maybe we were hungry at the time

Overall very disappointing! My girls loved the cinnamon rolls but we had the worst breakfast burritos of our life. I ordered the pork, the onions were raw. No joke at least a half of cup of grease soaked the tortillas or dripped out. The wife ordered the veggie burrito and most of vegetables were raw. Disappointing!! read more

Wow wow wow! Best veggie sandwich I have ever had. So flavorful, so good and the ciabatta bread is perfection. read more

I loved this place, quick bite, good ingredients and right next to the river :) coffee was also very good. Grab it and go to the bench under the bridge. read more

Good taste coffee. And kind price. Not easy to find. It isn't normal 1st floor. But you can find the stair downward. Of course they serve breakfast early in the morning. Also drink at night read more

They are out of everything at 9AM on a Tuesday. How are you out of smoothies? Stood in line for 10 mins for nothing. Maybe put up a sign? read more

Fantastic sandwiches and wraps, good portions, great value. The turkey club in the cubano were both fantastic

Best hot and iced chai I have ever had!! Worth the price, friendly staff, great drinks. Again, chai chai chai, order the chai. read more

Love this place! Great coffee, food, patio and location. Breakfast sandwiches are big enough to split.

Best coffee in Vail, don't @ me. Highly recommend getting an iced coffee with almond milk.

Awful... I ordered a Spanish coffee and a Cappuccino... both were watery and weak...very little coffee flavor read more

This place is great. The bacon & Swiss bagel is awesome, coffee is strong, and tunes are on point. I was able to work remotely here for two days in Vail, great spot to bring your laptop if you need to. read more

If you want the local experience in Vail go to Loaded Joe's. Awesome menu Great beer selection Fantastic coffee Delicious and unique smoothies Best bartenders Stumbled upon this spot after a day on the slopes and I couldn't be any more satisfied with the place. It's a cute spot in town that serves coffee and breakfast, sandwiches, plus drinks, beer and munchies. The bartenders are great! Super friendly and accommodating. The crowd is a mix of locals and tourists. We truly enjoyed our time there. Loaded Joe's is great. Will definitely be back. read more

We took a pit stop for coffee at Vail on our way from Glenwood to Denver. Most of the places were closed maybe because of the snow storm. This was the only place open. It's a neat and quaint coffee shop and the coffee/drinks are Amazing! One of the best hot chocolates ive ever had. The perfect amount of sweet and milk. We picked up some croissants and mac n cheese which were good too. read more

The best coffee in Vail, great breakfast too. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. What more could you need.

Great coffee bar and BAR! Got peppermint tea and a shot! The staff is very nice and this tucked away location is super cozy!

I thought I was going to have to opt for Starbucks as I didn't see any other coffee shops in Vail Village. Then I saw this woman walking with two to-go coffee cups and asked where she got her coffee. She said, "Oh my g-d, Loaded Joe's down those stairs, get the Spanish Coffee, it's the best"! I thanked her and headed over. I opted for the regular drip instead of the Spanish coffee and it was A-OK. The coffee was appropriately priced, the service was friendly and hey, they aren't Starbucks! read more

Solely based this rating off coffee So (being a Seattle guy) I was really excited to hear that they serve Rococo. I get there and it seemed like they knew very little about the coffee they were serving. That's fine, but the coffee wasn't. The barista explained to me that there isn't really a need for top quality coffee in Vail so they mostly serve large batch blends. I was beyond disappointed. I'm sure Rococo is an amazing roaster (sad I've never had a chance to try them) but the coffee was extraordinarily disappointing. The barista also told me that they used to serve single-origin so I'm sure it was once great. This place gets three stars because my barista was nice and took the time to discuss it with me, but I'd never drink coffee here unless they make some big changes. read more

Awesome drinks! We love stopping here for boozy coffee drinks and fun cocktails. I also have had the riley sandwich which is a very large portion and also delicious. Only complaint is many times they cannot get the outside fire pits to work which would be nice on cold days, as indoor seating is quite limited. read more

Great coffee, great breaky, great atmosphere, and amazing service. I was here last weekend and asked for a blueberry bagel and the guy behind the counter said they didn't carry blueberry bagels but he would order them for next. I came back next week and boom! I got my blueberry bagel. The staff and the service are just amazing! read more

This place is amazing. Small but perfect. If you're desperately trying to find something chill and affordable in Vail, come check it out. Great prices, great coffee and a pretty solid beer selection. GREAT tunes too :) read more
