GIANT SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM…read more Need I say more? The scoops are softball sized, which is no exaggeration. I shared a two scoop cone and it felt like we were eating a pint of ice cream. So on value alone they get a win in my book. Shoutout to the employees doing the Lord's work with their scoops. Flavors are hit or miss so I recommend sampling a few. We liked the strawberry guava sorbet and the Danish swirl. A few of the other flavors we tried were a bit more bland. The flavored cone is a cool idea and it does taste different but tbh it doesn't add a whole new dimension. But colored cones are cool. For a tourist town this is a pretty decent value. Not the best ice cream I've had but solid for a walk around town while you shop.

Honestly, Dove or Ghirardelli chocolates from a regular grocery store would have been a better option. Customer service was mediocre--just a quick greeting when we walked in and nothing beyond that.

It's such a cute combo coffee + stationery store, and they have a really nice seating area upstairs. I stopped by again this weekend, got a latte, and it was delicious as usual. Took it upstairs and just relaxed for a bit with my friend, perfect post-hike vibe. I was here back in September too and noticed they've upgraded the upstairs seating since then, so it feels even nicer and more refreshed now. Always consistent, always a great stop when I'm in Estes Park.

Update: our youngest started vomiting on the way home a few hours after eating here and has been…read moredoing so ever since - it's been 24 hours, she has been vomiting all night. All symptoms point to food poisoning. We will not be back. This was our first visit to You Need Pie. What we liked: Our waiter was really hospitable, friendly, and did his best to provide service in a timely way despite being the only server available for all the customers. The coffee was decent, though in a small mug, and so was the hot chocolate we orders for the kids (which came with whipped cream, much to their delight!). The decor on the walls felt kind of scanty but what is there was cute. There is a pretty wide pie selection. Food serving sizes were okay. The single person bathroom was clean. What we didn't like: *The $2 veg add-ins of onion and jalapeños to the $12 omelette were raw. *The corned beef hash was extremely basic and barely seasoned, the potatoes were well cooked but bland and pale. It was edible but not worth $15. *Our party ordered a $9 bread bowl soup and waffle fries as well; it was eaten but the cheese ingredient was really overpowering in flavor - the small size was a good thing, in this case, because otherwise it couldn't have been finished. *The batter on the chicken tenders in the kid's meal were almost burnt on the edges, but still pale everywhere else. Something off with the oil temperature I guess. They didn't get eaten. *The color of everything was pretty much all beige and served on white plates, which impacted the impression of the meal - zero visual appeal. One of my favorite parts of eating at mom-and-pop diners is the way the meals feel homey, warming you from the inside out. This did not create that kind of impression. Lastly, the pie (which was the main draw for us and why we picked this dining option). We ordered one slice of rhubarb at $6.25. The pie was very disappointing - something in it was either stale or had gone bad. It tasted really unpleasant and we ended up throwing it away. Our total for everything was about $80 with tip and it was sadly not money well spent. We love stand alone dining options but probably will not be returning.
