Nice little guitar shop along the walking strip. Prices are typical to that of any mountain…read moretown....high. So a guitar and strings, etc are obviously more in cost than at home. Pay heed to the shopping policy. No refunds or exchanges (which we missed) so if you purchase a tee (strongly suggest to size up 2 or 3 sizes), be 110% for sure! Otherwise it's hard to rep in an awesome print that doesn't fit

Frankly I was embarrassed to bring the bike in, but the mechanic (I'm sorry I forgot your name,2/26 around 10 am) was SO kind and didn't make me feel like an idiot, actually showed me what was going on. Then gave me some things to watch out for and advised some service I should ask my LBS to do. Cleaned up my bike, put some lube on the chain and when I asked what I owe him he told me to have a great day and ride safe. You don't get service like this often especially from a bike shop when margins are tight. Thank you, sir!

Absolute used to be so friendly and a welcoming environment. My most recent visit has been quite…read morethe opposite. When going to look at helmets we were shammed into throwing away one we had brought in. We brought in an old helmet to compare sizes to a new one and when asking for the right size the employee shamed us for still having the old helmet despite telling him multiple times it hadn't been used in years. The helmet was sentimental as it was my moms first helmet for when she started mountain biking and the employee continued to throw it away. I wanted to look at a different store for a helmet for myself (Absolutes competitor) but they were sold out so I came back to buy one from Absolute. When I came back in the same employee was rude/caddy making a comment along the line of "What they didn't have what you were looking for" which rubbed me the wrong way and made me less happy spending my money there. After this comment he proceeded to attempt to upsell me into buying a different grade helmet and another bike (despite all of our bikes being right outside) but at this point I had just picked one that seemed it would fit best. Upon checking out I asked if the stickers on the counter were free or not and a different employee proceeded to be smart with me. He sarcastically said if I took a hundred stickers he would charge me $100. As many people from salida know stickers typically do cost in storefronts and I was asking to be respectful.

Stopped in for a couple of coffees while visiting Fairplay and so glad we did. This place is such a…read moregem. Scott made us some lattes and they were DELICIOUS. The interior has so much character - part coffee house, part cigar shop and lounge, part golf simulator, and man cave. We ordered 2 vanilla lattes, one with whole milk and the other with oat milk and cinnamon. They were some of the better coffees we've had and Scott was super friendly and easy to chat with. This would be a place we'd return to again and again.

I just popped in because I saw the latte sign and I refuse to get gas station coffee...sorry I'm that girl. I walked in to every man's dream man cave and every woman's peak behind the curtain of a boys club. I got to chat with the owner Scott who was also my barista of quite literally the most amazing coffee outside of my kitchen. Not exaggerating, Scott took me back to Europe with this coffee. Roasted to perfection. I loved how knowledgeable he was about all cigars; so helpful picking out things just based on the characteristics I gave him for the men I wanted to get gifts for. I even found something for me! I thought the prices were so fair especially since shopping around in the city. I loved that he had a haven for locals to come and have a jam sessions that also exposed visitors to local talent. Scott moved me at my heart strings while we had a wonderful and I'd like to quote him..."Take a picture with your mind and when the memory starts to fade it's time to go back." Well Scott I'm just going to keep visiting so the latter memory never fades!!
