  If you like to hang out with unshowered marijuana growers, dogs that continually bark while roaming without a leash, and you enjoy walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke on your way into your dining experience than this is the cafe for you. Welcome aboard o undiscriminating diner.
  
  If you enjoy ordering a " pub burger" cooked medium with cheddar and have no problem when it shows up cooked well done, topped with barely melted shredded cheddar and is half the size of the dry, stale bun that it's served on, than by all means enjoy!!  If you like your buffalo wings served cold and dry, you will be right at home here.
  
  If you like a server that never checks back in with you to see how much you despise the meal you're soldiering through and that shortchanges you when cashing out your tab because they're too stoned to count, you will be pleased here at the Bliss Cafe.
  
  My condolences Crestone, that you freely choose to keep a debacle of a restaurant like this in business.

  One of the two available dining venues in town.
  
  This one appears to be run by angry buddhists.  Namaste and hate are an interesting combination.  It's likely just effective marketing for all the weirdo cultists in town; mostly dudes in shaolin robes who administer deep dickings at the drop of a hat (I have on good authority) and philosopher kings in white robes.  I asked no questions about either.
  
  Since there is nothing else to talk about in this town, I heard a lot about the proprietors of this place.  They seem to complain a lot.  They complain about having a lot of business, they complain about having to come to work, they complain when you order a beer.  Lots of complaining.
  
  First, I was pleased that they had some civilized brews on tap.  That was about the end of my excitement.
  
  Second, I noticed that people seemed angry that I was there at all.
  
  The menu is fairly outlandishly expensive for being at the end of nowhere.  Given the choice between ordering here and eating at the completely guerrilla burrito/donut/coffee stand, I chose the latter.  As the stand sells out in about half an hour, this seems a popular choice.
  
  The environment in Bliss seems to be pervasive in this little town; angry bitchy people with outlandish demands of their neighbors.
  
  They do have wifi though.  A nice touch because, if you don't have Verizon, you don't have phone service.

  Real food, deliciously prepared. Most of their food is local, organic or both. They are happy to make things vegan for you if you like. I think they could also accommodate you if you are gluten free as I avoid wheat and had 3 dishes and a smoothie that were likely completely gluten free right off the menu. Had the most brilliant quinoa dish there today. Best thing I've eaten in months. The owners and staff are as nice as the food. Love!

  Should you be so fortunate as to be in Crestone, or nearby, treat yourself to a bit of Bliss.
  
  The place is a Labor of love, appreciation and community.  The daily offerings vary, and supplement a base menu built around solid, tasty locally sourced foods.
  
  Bliss is a bit of a shock to those of us who have chosen city life and the lifestyle that maintains that choice.
  
  It is simple, and such a pleasure.  Kick yourself down a few notches, or you likely won't fully appreciate that which is before you.

  Stayed at the fabulous Vajra Vidya Buddhist retreat center and hit the Bliss Cafe on the way out of town. Everything is either organic or grass-fed. Had a very good quarter pound burger, fries and a milk stout! Yum! NIce assortment of beers on tap and the food is very healthy and tasty. The Bliss Cafe was written up in the Denver Post <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.denverpost.com%2Ftravel%2Fci_15579811&s=33c6a3c6e3027b5f8447210d9470f862f6365a7b4930d9b4f78c96b2b991bbec" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.denverpost.co…</a>. The staff is friendly and I recommend checking Bliss out!
