With coffee shops all around…read more(especially the big chains), I go out of my way to look for independent coffee shops, especially those who roast their own beans as does Blind Burro. The Blind Burro serves excellent coffee. I had an Americano today, which is probably the best Americano I have ever had. I treated my Uber driver to her request for a vanilla latte and she said it was outstanding. I buy coffee beans, grind them at home and do pour overs and I'm very particular about the coffee I drink. Blind Burro is the best! PS-This location is a "grab and go" and has a drive through although you can step into the shop and order at the counter. Only seating is outside. I go to the Frothy Cup in Idaho Springs when I want to sit a while.

It was pretty packed when we got there around 10am on Good Friday, so definitely seems like a popular place. They also have pastries and a few breakfast items, plus other assorted options, and I like that their baked goods are made in-house. The cashier we had was super friendly and even gave us some recommendations, which I appreciated. Overall, good coffee stop and I'd come back if I visit Idaho Springs again.

The staff is welcoming and warm and that matches the drinks that are made! For some reason I forgot what I ordered this last time. However, I do know it warmed my soul and was not overly sweet. The best touches to a drink on a day when the weather swayed back and forth. Will return on our next trip!

I stopped by MMNT on my drive back from Vail. Georgetown is one of my favorite places to eat. I…read morefeel like that's still somewhat of a secret!? It's never super busy when I'm in town. I met up with a friend and we were immediately seated. Things felt rushed and hectic, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly crowded. They have so many delicious-sounding things on their menu, and we were fortunately just in time for lunch because I was specifically craving their BLTA. SO good!! My second option would have been their Italian Sandwich. My friend didn't enjoy the soup or sandwich he got, which is a bummer. I'd come back again, though. They also sell baked goods, and I was tempted to get some before leaving. Next time! According to other Yelpers, their Grilled Cheese is amazing so I'm adding that to my list of things to try. Parking is never really super challenging in Georgetown (yet) so take advantage and support this local business next time you drive by.

I've been coming to Empire Edge Grill for years and it never disappoints…read more My go-to order is the Empire breakfast sandwich and it is so good. I get it on ciabatta with bacon and their bacon is actually quality crispy, flavorful, not flimsy. The chipotle aioli is what really makes it though. So good. Heads up: this sandwich is big. Like, if you're not a big eater, you could easily split it. I didn't even finish mine and gave about a quarter to my mom It's perfect if you're about to have an active day and need something filling. I also ordered a medium matcha with vanilla and my total came out to about $20, which is a little pricey in my opinion but the portion size makes up for it. The matcha was good, but quick tip: if you like your drinks sweet, make sure to ask for sugar or flavor. I always forget and end up with a bitter drink lol. Everyone here is always super nice and welcoming. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. I go here often and already plan to be back in a couple weeks. Solid food, big portions, good vibes. Highly recommend.

As I pulled the sandwich out to eat in the MJ parking lot, I looked around at the jealous people to see what I was eating.

I don't even know how long it's been since I first got to know about this mountain town coffee…read moreshop. It's been on the "must go" list for a while but I finally had a chance to visit it on a beautiful mid-February day today. It sure was worth the drive and time all the way from the south Denver. The moment I stepped inside, the warm welcoming atmosphere was sensed. As soon as the lady upfront greeted me cordially, I felt more comfortable and relaxed. The instantaneous gratification hit me where I almost uttered "I am glad that I took the time to come here!" I wanted to peruse the menu. To my "Give me a moment" statement, the kind lady said "Of course, take your time. We also have a Valentine's Day special drink right here!". It was a white chocolate based mocha which sounded quite sweet so I asked her if it was sweet to which she said "It's very sweet but we can always adjust it to half the syrup!" All kinds of considerate words were made in each of her reply. I decided to go simple today; I went with the drip coffee which comes with unlimited free refills. The lady gave me one of the cups and told me where the pot that contained the drip was located. Alongside the pot, there was a super mini refrigerator that contained two jars of cold milk: one is half and half and the other is oat milk. What a kind care the shop does to keep them chilled. The simple drip coffee was just what I needed; it hit the spot. And tasted clean with no burnt notes at all. Quality coffee indeed. As I was immersed in this review writing in the ambient setting, the shop started to fill with guests. Although it's so tucked in this little mountain town, there appear to be "coffee fanatic fans" that know this place. And like me, I assume that many of them are not the local town folk. There is no wonder why they are drawn to it; they know where to find great coffee spots. I loved every single bit of this cozy place. My recommendation is only one of the multitude of others that know this place.

One of the owners heard me and cut and wrapped it in two halves for me. Super appreciated and thoughtful!! The other owner was outside and was also really nice and let me know that they deliver around the Front Range area. He also gave me a postcard which I'm excited to send to my sister. Customer service is top notch from my short but amazing experience. As for the panini, I wish it was like 2ft longer! Lol.
