This seems more like a branding opportunity than a coffee shop. It's really an OK place; I'd visit…read morehere again, but I'd also probably try a few other places in town first. The vibes are strong here. It nails its rustic atmosphere and has a nice patio to sit out on. It's close-ish to the river, but you're mostly looking at a parking lot. All the other wares very much match the country-chic I think this is going for. I got very much the feeling of "we want to be a Magnolia of Colorado" from this place. Many of the items on sale referenced Root itself, trying to make fetch happen. As for what we got, we got some coffee, smoothies, and sweet tea. I also had one of their energy balls. Pricing was a bit on the high end, even for Pagosa. What was most absurd to me was how much my sweet tea was. Yes, it was good. But for that price, I was expecting a much larger cup. I was left thirsty. It's literally the cheapest thing you could make and not some secret recipe requiring expertise; for that price point I expected more to slurp on. The energy ball was tasty. The coffee, I'm told, was OK. The smoothies matched their price point and tasted fresh.

I live in the area and wanted to support our local coffee shop, and have been for about 9 months…read more The service has always been appalling and while 4.70$ for a drip coffee is steep, we supported them because they were selling a local coffee company (also called Steep) and were willing to pay the premium to support a local family owned roaster. They informed me today that they will no longer be selling Steep because they raised their prices. They are now selling allegro as their drip, and when asked if using corporate coffee would lower the price of their drip, they said no. As far as I'm concerned this is disingenuous and a pretty bad hustle. Other complaints include no visible pricing and random price switching (due to the lack of transparency). We will not be back. Please consider supporting the Steep roasting company ten minutes up the road, you can get a fresh bag for 2/3 the price that higher grounds sells it for anyway.

This is my fav coffee shop in Pagosa springs, it's def a vibe. My airbnb was really close so I came…read moreby the next morning and had a lavender pumpkin spice breve latte. No joke it was the best latte I've had in a LONG time and I've had some fantastic lattes! The line was decently long when I came but it was only about a 10 min wait, the staff moved fast. Plenty of parking out front and seating inside, and they have a sister boutique next door that opens a little later in the morning and has cute stuff too. Overall if I pass through Pagosa springs again anytime soon I'll be coming back here!

What a lovely place to go for not only brunch but much more. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and…read moreinviting. Brunch options are the most well known but I think they'd be good for other meal times too. I personally got the Liege Belgian waffle with strawberries, banana, and whip cream and I thought it was absolutely amazing. The pearl sugar, the textures, and flavors! One of my favorite waffles I've ever had. I will be thinking about this whenever I crave a waffle in the future. Just the right amount of sweetness and crunch! My friend got the Hash Smash bowl. I got to taste a small bite and I found the aioli sauce to be delicious. Speaking of sauces, they have hot sauce buckets with a bunch of different ones to try. I found that very nice that they offer that and let people try a bunch of sauces they otherwise might not have had that chance to try otherwise. Also very interesting and unexpected that they happen to have boba drinks in this part of town. FYI though, their boba isn't soaked in syrup so it's bland if your drink isn't quite sugar heavy enough itself. Highly recommend the restaurant look into that and soak their bobas to take the drinks to the next level. Lastly, their menu seems to change quite often and the pics on yelp don't reflect the current menu anymore. You may see dishes/drinks missing or on there that you didn't expect.

Came right at 9am on Sunday. No wait. Got the thai tea coffee (5/5), chai milk tea with boba…read more(3.5/5), hash mash skillet dish with fried chicken (5/5) and the chicken and waffle (3/5). Thai tea coffee was delectable and the skillet dish had a phenomenal breakfast sauce. Beautifully cooked eggs and perfect heat. We sat outside and our server was Bart himself, such a nice guy. The interior is cute too. I wouldn't recommend the chicken in waffles because the syrup was overwhelming and the sugar bits in the waffle made it wayy too sugary. The chicken was juicy but I wanted more seasoning in the batter. Overall not bad! Just order that hashmash dish

The service was great! We felt welcomed, and everyone was nice and courteous. Now onto the coffee. Hubs ordered an espresso martini, I got the nut+honey latte, and MIL got the house coffee. When I tell you we loved our drinks I really mean it! The food: wow. You can tell the secret ingredient is love! Everything tasted delicious! We were stuffed, my MIL couldn't finish her biscuits and gravy. Next time we are in town, we are definitely coming back! Thank y'all for an amazing brunch!

I have two reviews for this brunch place. One is for the food, the owner and the establishment A++…read more The other is for our server Allison (who I grade with a big F and is in need of training) I ordered my "Patria Plus" breakfast with two eggs over "medium". I always order my eggs over medium because I do not like a runny white mucousy eggs. One of the eggs was cooked fine, but the other one was undercooked with the white mucousy yolk. When I informed the waitress Allison, about this instead of her apologizing and replacing that one egg, she began to lecture me on how I did not order properly. She sent over the owner who was lovely and very accommodating A++ The food itself, the pancakes, the bacon, Home fries (with the exception of the runny egg) was very good and tasty. If you dine here I would avoid the server named Alison, who needs an attitude adjustment.

This post isn't to completely bash this place rather just to share my opinion…read more Staff is super attentive and our drinks were never empty. The food however was terrible. Four of us with a meal each, two cups of coffee, and two lemonades was $82, which is far too pricey for the quality of the food. I ordered the huevos rancheros and I have never eaten such bland food before. The beans were hard as though they hadn't been cooked all the way and I am not sure how, but even the single slice of bacon that came with it was bland. I ended up eating the eggs on top of the corn tortillas and left the rest of my food. One of my sons ordered the lunch burrito with chicken and without me prompting him, also said that it was bland and flavorless. My other son ordered the short stack and said that the pancakes were ok but poured the syrup on and it tasted like maple flavored water and made the pancakes soggy. My husband got the chicken fried steak and said it was ok once he put a ton of salt on it. Please see the photos. We ended up leaving most of our food untouched. We paid our bill in full and left tip, which was over $100 for bland food that we didn't hardly eat. I would recommend skipping this place as the food is bland and tasteless, even by hungry teenage boy's standards. The two stars of this review are definitely because staff was great.

Pagosa Springs has just lowered its bar even further in the world of dining. This small town has…read morealways struggled because of lack of staffing and a fluctuating tourist economy. So to add yet another breakfast/lunch cafe to an already mediocre group was quite the gamble. Unfortunately, it looks like it will add one more to it's long history of failed eating establishments. So let's look at the facts: We entered the restaurant and found three tables seated. No one eating. Not too bad there were two waitresses. Also not too bad. And yet we sat and waited for service. We waited to order and still no one was eating while we waited. Three more tables came in and were seated. We finally got drinks but no silverware and a couple of menus. Same breakfast fare: eggs, bacon, hash-browns, toast etc. Nothing that every other Cafe doesn't already offer. However, their prices were higher. I did hear from someone that the pancakes were pretty good. So I got a typical eggs, sausage, hash, brown pancake combo. My partner got a veggie omelette. We waited and waited and waited some more. Still, no one was eating. We were about ready to leave and call it a day when the waitress brought our food.But she had to go back for silverware and condiments, which she hastily placed in a pile on the edge of the table. And we had to ask for a refill on our beverage. My husband asked for Tabasco sauce and it was brought out almost empty. Both servers had to come back and ask for the Tabasco sauce, three times to take it to other tables. There was one bottle for the entire restaurant! The pancake that I had heard good things about was burned, greasy and crumbly. It was so bad I couldn't eat it. So slow service, poor quality food, and disappointing menu led to an overall awful experience. Finally, the ambience: same picture of John Wayne and other cheap western art on the walls, same table arrangement with a bar, taking up most of the space. Suffice it to say there is no ambience. Why do we continue to beat ourselves over the head paying ridiculous prices for subpar food and crappy service? The reason: we always hope for the best and we're too damn lazy to fix our own breakfast. I should have learned.
