We stopped in here for lunch on the way to Gunnison and were pleasently surprised at how good it was. I was impressed that they had hamburgers that used local beef, and the kids were impressed with the giant cinnimon rolls we took for the road. The place was nice, and the staff was nice. They do not have a kids menu, so its a little tricky figuring out what the kids will eat, but they ended up with sandwhiches that they ate some of... But over all, this place was pretty good, there's not much else around this area, so they have that going for them, but I might stop back in if I was driving through again.
Review Source:Great place to stop on the road, ate lunch here a few months ago during a road trip. Affordable, delicious, quaint, and great service. Had a wonderful grilled cheese with jalapeños and tomatoes on homemade bread with sweet potato fries for under $7. Can't beat that when you are hungry, on a road trip, and there isn't much else around!
Review Source:Like everyone else, we stopped in here by chance after not seeing much for a long time. According to the menu, they try to buy everything local and organic when possible. In such a remote area, I'm sure it isn't possible all year, but it's quite a surprise in a town this small. Breakfast is served all day and the rest of the menu (at least at lunch) was mostly salads, sandwiches and burgers. Everything we had was good.
Like another person noted, they were a little on the slow side (we got our food before the rush), but that's quite understandable with a total staff of three on a busy travel day. I assume that off-days and non-peak times they can be pretty speedy like they were when we first arrived.
We stumbled upon this place by accident - we were traveling and it was a long time between towns but it was time for lunch. While cruising through town (if you can call it that) we saw nothing on the main street that indicated there were any live residents in town - then we saw a sign with an arrow pointing down a side street that said "downtown."
I got a laugh out of that but we turned and at the end of the street was this great little cafe. It was mid-day on a Thursday and there were a few cars out front and we saw folks inside so it must be an okay place, right? What a jewel! We were seated quickly and the iced teas and coffee were delivered just as fast. They have a decent menu with home cookin' type dishes- like our biscuits and gravy and omelets with 'taters and homemade sourdough bread.
The service and food were good and I would come back to this place anytime. I would have given it five stars if not for the slow service - and they had good reason to be slow because every table and chair was fully utilized and it looked like there was only one cook trying to keep up with all the orders. The table in the corner had seven people and it took the cook a good long time to get their food out before tending to the other orders.
We did not have "room" for dessert but they had a whole array of pies and similar things and if our food was any indication, the pies would also have been great.
Maybe another cook or a helper would make it faster - in reality the food was well worth the wait but the big thing to me was the pure luck we had in finding this great little place way out in the middle of nowhere - don't blink - you could miss the whole town.
EAT HERE!
Pie is good, and every flavor was great here. We were hungry after a long drive through the incredibly flat alpine valley that leads up to Saguache, and the family needed a place to eat. With nothing on the radar in the area, my mother-in-law found this place somewhere online, so we stopped in. It's a few blocks off the highway, and I was a bit skeptical of what this tiny town might offer, but the word "Bakery" in the title made me think only of the possibility for pie.
We finished a great meal of grass fed burgers and sandwiches on homemade bread, then we moved on to the pie. We got three slices for six diners, and they were all gone quickly. Blueberry was my favorite followed by rhubarb strawberry and the chocolate. The blueberry was so good I bought an entire pie to bring to our vacation destination in Crested Butte. There are no disposable pie pans here, so I had to promise to come back on our return trip to give back the pyrex dish. This is the trust you can only get from small town folks.
On our return trip a week later, we were happy to stop in for breakfast to take back the empty pie plate. What awaited us was fabulous blueberry and banana pancakes, fresh biscuits and stellar french toast. If I'm ever near this place again, I will find and excuse to get another meal here, and another slice of pie.
