    Entrance to Coffee & Gelato place
    Bennett P.

    New coffee, tea and gelato place in downtown Palisade. They are next door to Peche. They are open 7 days a week. They offer hot & cold beverages, light pastries, breakfast sandwiches and gelato. Nice brightly lit space with a large shaded back patio. There is another seating area next to sidewalk. I got a hot Matcha Latte with whole milk. The staff said the matcha was unsweetened, so I added Peach syrup. I got their last Blueberry Lemon scone. All for only $9.12; The accept debit/credit cards or cash. I will be back to try their gelato.

I went with a cappuccino and a couple of pastries. I got one with peach which is the local specialty (this community grows a LOT of peaches).

I would definitely come back again if we make it back to this area.

The staff was very kind, friendly, and quick. I did not open the box and look at it before we left the bakery, I wanted to be surprised. They have good reviews so I just trusted It was going to look like a professional bakery cake and taste delicious. How disappointed and embarrassed I was when my son brought out the cake and it looked like one of my kids made it. It was very dense, I couldn't get through it with a cake knife. To top it all off, two of my guests pulled Small pieces slivers of parchment paper out of their mouth. Slice O Life bakery may have good breads and baked goods but cakes I would say is not their specialty.

This lovely shop carries a variety of items - we bought lavender plants and some flavored balsamic vinegars and oils but they have many more items. The plants are thriving and we've been enjoying the vinegars and oil. Recently, I tried drizzling strawberry basil vinegar over half my mozzarella Caprese salad and tangerine over the other half. My guests loved the flavors. Today we decided to add more flavors to our pantry. The proprietresses were extremely helpful. We tried many flavors and flavor combinations and were given great ideas on which foods went best with them. We also found a spice blend that is flavorful and versatile. We more than doubled our existing vinegars and oils. Some will be gifts but the rest will enhance dishes from salads to desserts. If you find yourself near Palisade, Colorado, we recommend visiting this business. It has wide range of products in an attractive setting and knowledgeable staff.

Of course I had to add salsa, because... obviously Patti went with the Huevos Rancheros and really liked it Tyler tried the Chile Relleno and said it was the best one he's had in forever -- bold statement, but he's sticking to it. I've had the Chile Relleno too, and I get it. Fresh poblano, Oaxacan cheese, refried black beans, sour cream, pickled onion, cilantro, cotija... just yummy. I also tried the Oaxacan taco and carne asada taco, and both were absolutely on point -- juicy, flavor-packed, and straight-up And yes, Dad's jalapeño sauces are a must. The green and red both add that perfect little kick And a big win--they've got a great selection of gluten-free options (clearly marked), so it's easy to navigate if that matters to you And since it's a Mexican restaurant, I had to partake in a margarita I went with the Pinky -- Dulce Vida Grapefruit Tequila, Naranja, fresh lime juice, and fresh grapefruit juice. Very tasty. Big shoutout to Sasha at the bar super knowledgeable, great vibes, and clearly a fellow GJ foodie with great recommendations. Service has been great all around both times. Solid food, great date night spot, and worth the drive. Just my opinion... don't come at me

They do have a street patio Mezcal and Tequila flights, specialty cocktails highly recommended. The tacos are a la carte, big enough for two to share and they have local sauces to top.

Here's where things went downhill. On Friday, I tried to make reservations for 2 for Saturday evening, but what it told me was that the restaurant was not booking any more reservations for 2 diners on Saturday (I checked all three of the options - dining room, bar, or 'kitchen). I kept checking back with no luck. So we selected another restaurant ahead of time, but decided to drop in and see if there were any spots open. To our surprise, the entire bar was open, as well as at least 3-4 tables in the dining room. We got seated at the bar. This may not seem like a problem, but throughout our entire meal, there remained 2 seats at the bar that never were filled as well as 3-4 tables. Either the restaurant reserves more seats for larger parties, or they're trying to game the system by making people THINK it's so popular that it's amazingly good. Either way, I was not pleased by the reservation process. Service was ok (a little hit-or-miss on speed), as was the atomosphere (a little loud). On the plus side, the food was actually pretty good. I personally think it's overhyped (I had the ribeye and my wife had the duck). Both were flavorful and well cooked, but we were a little underwhelmed given that we had an outstanding meal the night before at a different restaurant. After dining at Peche, we had actually wished that we had gone elsewhere given the cost per person. That being said, as I mentioned, this place was highly recommended by a number of people and I will say it has a very unique atmosphere as well as good food. Will we dine here again? No. But we were happy that we tried it. (Hence my overall rating).
