As a kombucha lover, I was so excited to find a kombucha taproom since they're not common…read more We sat at the bar for quite a while and tried all of the kombucha they had on tap. The mango was my favorite, but they were all great. I believe the bar tender was the owner. He was super friendly and helpful. We took a growler home with us. My only complaint is that I can't get it closer to Denver because this is better than any kombucha I've had there. We were staying in Gunnison, but I would definitely drive here from Crested Butte too.

If you're looking for organic, fresh, preservative free food, this is the place! It's small but packed with goodness. We have favorites that we stock up on... and I'm not sure where they get their dried fruits (dates, mangos, figs) but I haven't found a place I like better... I wish they shipped! Seriously. We always find our Terra Chips here. And my mom is strangely addicted to the malt balls here. Go figure! The one downside is it's expensive - they're a small specialty store in a smaller town. What did you expect?

Came to crested Butte for a camping trip and needed to take some work calls before we headed out to…read morethe mountain After looking at different coffee, shops online that offered a good environment to work from, we settled on rumors. Located on the main strip, it was easy to access. There is plenty of street parking, and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The Wi-Fi is strong and there are outlets all over. The coffee is really good, I tried a white mocha with whipped cream and loved it. Even in the summer, it's still a little chilly here and the doors are kept open so it's the perfect pairing. I didn't try any of the food, but my boyfriend got a breakfast burrito and said it was yummy I love that it's attached to a bookstore, displaying lots of the cards and prints within the coffee shop and bringing the vibe across from both. The lady behind the counter is doing an awesome job, essentially taking care of an entire line on her own and not sacrificing any of the quality in each drink she makes. Love it! Will definitely come back

Staff was very personable and helpful with answering our questions and I loved how much quirky art was scattered around - many pieces were also for sale. Definitely gave off the vibe of being a favorite of the locals. I will note this is a fairly small space, so seating is limited. They do have a time limit for table usage, which is nice.

Our experience at Meat & Cheese in Aspen was disappointing from beginning to end…read more To start with, the food was mediocre in every sense. The quality did not justify the prices, the flavors were forgettable, and nothing we ordered stood out. Unfortunately, what happened afterward was far worse. My wife accidentally left behind a shopping bag containing a brand new pair of sunglasses she had purchased earlier that day. When she returned to retrieve them, our interaction with a server named Carson was deeply disappointing. Instead of simply confirming ownership in a courteous and professional manner, Carson repeatedly questioned whether the sunglasses were actually hers. He kept emphasizing that they were brand new and worth around $600, making it clear that he found it difficult to believe they belonged to her. It was impossible not to feel that she was being judged based solely on her appearance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with verifying ownership of a valuable item. In fact, we appreciate businesses that take lost property seriously. What is unacceptable is allowing assumptions and stereotypes to influence how customers are treated. One lesson worth remembering is that genuine elegance and long established wealth rarely need to announce themselves. Those who have had the privilege of success across generations often feel no need to advertise it with designer logos or outward displays. True class is reflected in education, humility, confidence, and, above all, in the way people treat others. Ironically, Carson's assumptions said far more about his own judgment than they did about my wife. No customer should ever be made to feel that they need to "look wealthy" in order to be treated with respect. We hope management addresses this issue seriously. The mediocre food was forgettable. Being judged and treated with prejudice is not. Every guest deserves to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and dignity, regardless of how they are dressed or what assumptions someone chooses to make about them.

Would not recommend! We strolled in Saturday afternoon, they weren't that busy yet somehow the bar…read morestaff was behind. The waitress seemed annoyed that we were there. I ordered a lemonade. It was the most sour undrinkable thing ever. She even "added more simple syrup" but that didn't help at all. The food was mid at best. The nachos had WAY too much cheese, which is not something I would complain about but this just looked gross. 2 of our party had the kolsch beer and they said it tasted nothing like a kolsch. We had friends who went there later in the day a few hours later and they sat there for over 15 minutes and had no service so they left. Overall disappointed.

Second, for the price, the quantity of food is fantastic; I grabbed the mac and cheese with pulled pork, and was stunned that the pork was almost half the dish. I highly recommend just on the above two items, but frankly the service (sweet, excellent, attentive) and selection of booze (beers and more!) put this spot over the top. You're missing out if you don't visit.

There were a lot of local stands, the whole market is like 3-4 blocks long. There were cute stores behind the vendors too, eg restaurants and I saw a tea place (was bomb!!) and a bookstore/coffee shop. Of note all parking was pretty much parallel along the street but it was free. I didn't see any public bathrooms, but most of the shops seem to have one (I went at a coffee shop). Overall if visiting crested butte and in town on a weekend, you should totally hit up this farmer's market! It's adorable and they have super cute stuff, some of which is reasonably priced.

DESCRIPTION: The Crested Butte Farmers' Market brings…read morevendors representing local farmers, ranchers, artisanal food producers, and craftspeople to town every Sunday between 9 and 2. The farmers' market only operates during warm weather season, and can be found at the far end of Elk Avenue at the intersection of 2nd. Exact dates of operation can be found on market's website. Vendors change every season, with many vendors participating annually. A list of current vendors can also be found on the Crested Butte Farmers' Market website, and include kombucha producers, organic vegetable farmers, gluten-free bakers, potters, and picklers. EXPERIENCE: The farmers' market allows broader access to grocery and gift items, reduces the need to travel far, introduces residents to new products, and provides opportunity to support regional small businesses. This is particularly welcoming to me when I have spent weeks in Crested Butte, at which point I begin to feel I have learned the inventory of all the town's stores! As one example of a visiting business, during a recent visit I passed by Doughp Pizza Company and turned around when I saw people walking by with plates of pizzas. Although we had some pizza leftovers in the kitchen, I just had to experience the "OutKast" pizza -- creamy/gooey Brie and fresh mozzarella are topped with crisp apple slices and arugula, and drizzled with hot honey. The crust is chewy and puffy at the edges, and is quickly cooked in a wood-fired oven near the eye catching disco ball-adorned shed.
