It's so cute inside, designed for both adults and children. Their selection is unique, and I ultimately decided on Purple Mountain (taro) which was dreamy. The cones looked tasty too, so I'll have to get one of those next time! There's beverages and other desserts, which I'd love to explore again when I'm driving to or through this area.

The aesthetic is pleasing and clean. The ice cream is varied and tastes good. You can sample before you buy, and it's reasonably priced. The customer service is chill as well. Great spot for some quick ice cream!! It is ideal for families during the day... and ideal to enjoy a good dessert or decaf in the evening. Their hours are great. The only coffee shop opened after 3 p.m., making it a perfect spot for an after-dinner treat. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and drop by. They have an indoor playground for kids.

I didn't even get to take a photo of the pretzel because I completely annihilated it. It was phenomenal. I came to my senses enough go photograph the sandwich, it was also amazingly good. I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.

There are also heat sources (which were turned off during our time there, since it was so warm out). Our server was great, asked if we had been there before, then proceeded to walk us through the menu, and specials. The sandwiches, and burgers, come on their own/individually, and from there you can order sides, or shareables - which are larger portions of the sides. I had the Raven Chicken sandwich - which is basically a BLT, with cornmeal fried chicken tenders added. The sandwich had a large amount of romaine lettuce, tomato, and perfectly crispy bacon - it was perfectly delicious! We ordered a shareable sized regular tots (they also have lots of fun/flavor combos, but we wanted to try the original), they were plentiful, and perfectly crispy. We also ordered a half Caesar salad, which was also generously portioned, and came with the dressing on the side. Last, but not least, was my Bloody Mary. It was a drink and sandwich special (any sandwich), and was delightfully spicy, with some very tasty pickles. I really enjoyed it. We will absolutely be back to try out more of the menu!
