Wrapping up our day at Mesa Verde NP, we topped off the diesel at the nearby Conoco. Before…read morereturning to our camper parked about 10 minutes up the highway, we explored ways to sate our collective sweet tooth, and found Deco Dessert here in town. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, DD has all ndocations of being a converted home AND an awesome dessert shop. The nice lady behind the counter patiently explained the offerings to our kids, and we ordered up a couple of Boba drinks and ice cream. The sour cream and berries was my favorite, but we took a great cross section of the menu. Everything was awesome, and a nice treat after a hot day of hiking. Cute interior was welcoming and comfortable. I'd be a regular if it wasn't 750 miles from home :). Will be here again on our next trip down US160.

Chili, pea soup, chicken curry salad, Asian slaw, broccoli salad, tortilla salad, almond flour cookies and lots of fruit and some drinks we'd never tried before. Everything was great. I also like how they have solar panels, compostable flatware and gluten free options.

Last words... you should try it.

Anytime I'm anywhere near Cortez, I make it a point to stop by Cold Stone Creamery. There's just…read moresomething special about this location that makes it stand out from the rest. It doesn't feel like a typical chain ice cream shop -- it feels personal, welcoming, and comfortable, almost like hanging out in someone's living room with really good dessert. A big part of that experience comes from the owners, Jeremy and Raedene. You can tell they genuinely care about the store and the people who walk through the door. They've created an atmosphere that feels relaxed and friendly, where families can sit down and enjoy time together without feeling rushed. The dining area is clean, cozy, and inviting, which makes it easy to stay awhile and enjoy every bite. As for the ice cream -- it's honestly the best around. The flavors are incredibly creamy, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are generous. Watching the staff mix everything together on the frozen stone never gets old, and they do it with skill and enthusiasm. Whether you're ordering a signature creation or building your own masterpiece, it always turns out delicious. The team working there deserves recognition too. They're upbeat, polite, and clearly enjoy what they do. That positive energy carries through the entire shop and makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for amazing ice cream, friendly faces, and a great atmosphere, this is the place. I highly recommend stopping in -- you'll quickly see why it's such a favorite.

It was made fresh right in front of me, served hot, crispy on the outside, and perfectly soft on the inside. Staff was so sweet, I stopped in when a HUGE rainstorm came through, it was very quiet inside but great cozy vibe, so I got to fully enjoy the delicious treat! They offer an incredible variety of toppings if you're looking to customize your funnel cake, plus a huge selection of ice cream flavors to pair with it. Whether you want to keep it classic or go all out with toppings, there's something for everyone. If you're craving a sweet treat while visiting Silverton, this is definitely a place worth stopping by. Fresh, delicious, and a fun experience we'll be back!

We ate at James Ranch today, been wanting to try this place for such a long time, and we finally…read morewere able to. First, the service was good, considering you had to wait in line to order, it went fast, then when your meal was ready you had to go up and get it and anything else you needed. So the cashier was super nice and so was the young man that cleared our table when finished, so that's the service. Excellent ambience for a nice day to eat outside. Clean tables, and no bugs to bother us. Plenty of room for kids to roam and you are able to bring your dogs. That's a plus! The reason I refused to give them a 5 was their food, which some was good some not so good, sure did not look like the pictures online. We had 4 people, 3 of us each got a different type of burger, the Green Chili burger, the Bacon Blue Cheese and the Bitty burger. Each burger's patty was overcooked and the Brioche bun, which drew me to the burgers I expected to be soft was extremely tough, very thick and dry... so in combination of the overcooked patty and the tough, not soft, bun it was not something I would want to order again, I ended up just taking my patty off the bun and not eating the bun, Very disappointed. My husband and son enjoyed the Roc fries with lots of ketchup, but again overcooked and dark. Some may like it that way. But not a fan and will pass on those next time. I would like to go back , maybe we went on an off day. If I go back, I will try something else as my son tried the BLT on the Focaccia Bread and he said it was excellent!
