We enjoyed our initial visit so much, we stopped by a second time after we finished in the park to get another caffeine-fix. Coffee Trader has so much charm and character that is immediately evident when you drive up. Located inside an old house, they have maneuvered their coffee shop around the house instead of adapting the house to fit their needs. And it just makes the experience that much more enjoyable. They have a surprisingly large menu here with great drink selections. Such a great variety of syrups - first coffee shop I've ever been to that offers an amaretto syrup. I added it to my mocha - what a great combination. If you like amaretto, definitely recommend giving it a try. Their Black Canyon was also tasty, but it's super sweet - so you need a good sweet tooth to really enjoy this one. Besides their pastries, they have a couple food items. The sausage burrito was a good start to the morning. Easy to find street parking. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee shop. Would definitely recommend stopping by - especially if you're on your way to Black Canyon!

KATES PLACE Mom and I were staying a night in Ridgeway…read moreand before going over to Ouray, decided to fuel up before heading over there and picked this breakfast place! Menu was not too big nor too small and we were able to quickly order with the staff who were quick with service! Mom and I both got the Corned Beef Hash and I got a cup of their soup of the day : Loaded Potato. FOOD The Corned beef hash were not like what I had before and looked pretty different (This is basically my go to breakfast dish at any place hehe) It was very hearty and had nice actual chunks of beef and potatos. The dish were not greasy at all. Not to mention the eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking "over easy" and the toasts were so delicious. Nicely buttered and were also to my liking in terms of how toasty/buttery it was!! Mom had a hard scrambled egg which were seasoned to perfection as well with white toast which were golden brown!! But the real star of the show was the their soup of the day! My looorrrr where do I even begin. Lets just say this soup better become their soup of the century. Chefs did an amazing job and this soup was really delicious and totally my type hehe. If you ever stop by and this is their soup of the day, def order it!!! Small place with the two nice ladies who served/hosted us, but were fast and friendly as the place started picking up more customers. And good cooks who serve you hearty and delicious meals. Almost felt like I was eating breakfast at a nice aunties place. Atmosphere felt very homey with colorful, but not overwhelming decorations and everything you would need at your table for functionality. FIVE STARS + WILL BE COMING BACK IF EVER BACK IN TOWN

Unfortunately, the burrito fell short of my expectations. Despite paying an egg surcharge, there was hardly any eggs in my burrito. Not only did this subtract from the nutritional value of my meal, but it also meant there was nothing to counter-balance the flavors of the burrito. Beyond the disappointing burrito, though, the grits were actually quite good.

The wife saw the sign for fresh donuts and while I was the loading the car went to get us some. Wow! Fantastic, fried to order mini donuts that delivered incredible flavor with every bit. We went with the cinnamon sugar and loved every one. True confession, I ate most of them as she also got a wonderful blueberry muffin which limited her ability to gorge herself on the donuts. Is five stars a fair rating when all we ate was a donut and a muffin? Maybe so, maybe not but to me, yes cause all the mattered was the flavor. I will say service was quick, even with the donut's being fried to order and the staff were really friendly and cordial. A must stop if you love hot, fresh, sugary donut's.
