What a cool place. I tried some pastries this morning and shared them with my sister. They were…read moreamazing. So cool to have a place like this in Junction. I'm excited to see this place grow. It's reminded me of places I've been to in Tokyo, where it's a small cafe that is eccentric and ran by the owner and limited staff. The quality was amazing. I'm looking forward to when I can do a total tea and sit down experience.

The food is outstanding but the owner is extremely rude and treats guests aggressively…read more The ambiance is peaceful however the energy of the space is left to be desired because of the owner's attitude. If you ask a question she doesn't like, it's a high possibility she will lash out at you. Her communication is nothing like her food as her food is outstanding but her communication is as bad as her attitude. There's better places in the area to support that treats their customers like welcome guests.

When I arrived in the morning, there was already a long line wrapped around the bakery, but I decided to stick it out because the aroma wafting from the building smelled too amazing to pass up. I am so glad I stayed because every item I ordered was extremely fresh, absolutely delicious, and remarkably well-priced for the quality. It is the ultimate morning pit stop in Fruita, and the fantastic food made the wait more than worth it.

Chasing the ghost of a good thing at this point. When they started out, I was there every day they…read morewere open every week. The front of the house was incredibly hospitable and accommodating. I fear that their quick success got to their head. They marked up the danishes 40% but refuse (2 months later now) to put a price saying they are seven dollars not five dollars each. Technically that's legal, but that's not really ethical to bait and switch at the register. I am an avid at home French pastry chef. I have specifically perfected Kouign Amann out here, but it took me a a few months to figure out how to tweak it with the elevation. Kouign Amann is basically a French morning bun to simplify it for people. They're easy to burn the bottom. This place repeatedly burns the bottom of their morning buns. The grumpy short and stout lady upfront has an attitude about it. After I kindly asked for a new one because it was burnt (due to the taste, and I literally drove back) She rolled her eyes at me and asked the other girl to go look at the bottom and get me one that didn't look as dark. The second one didn't look as dark, but sure was dry with a burnt taste. Today I went and got a morning bun and I took a bite and it taste burnt. I thought maybe the month hiatus was going to help them get their act together. No unfortunately the lady had no mercy on me. Don't buy their morning buns. They don't know how to cook them and they don't throw out bad batches. No pride in their work or transparency in their pricing. Your sister is your sister, but she's not doing you any favors at the cash register

I learned the owner is Mary Lincoln who's been in business since 1980 for 37 years. It's a homey place with multiple tables and a chalkboard menu. I had their daily quiche which was bacon & spinach, a cinnamon twist and a very large Mystic Chai Latte. I heated the quiche in the customer provided microwave. A good quantity of well cooked bacon and plenty of spinach in a light crust. The cinnamon twist was soft and slightly warm from the oven. The Mystic Chai was in an immense cup. I added a loaf of house-made cinnamon bread for only $7.22; The restrooms are not handicap accessible. And no paper or text receipts, just email.

We stopped here for a pick me up on our way through town. It's located on a quiet street in…read moredowntown Palisade. The ambiance is older and eclectic and overall just a cute place. They have a large selection of fresh pastries and other baked goods. We decided to try the peach blueberry cinnamon roll, cream cheese pastry and peach cake - all of which were delicious. The frosting on the cinnamon roll and cake was too sweet for our taste - a heartier cream cheese based frosting or something less sweet would've been the perfect balance to the pastries. The smothered breakfast burrito was amazing - great flavor and fresh ingredients with a neat take on green chili. The mocha was yummy too. We highly recommend stopped here whenever you are in the area.

Was his question. I assume that was rhetorical, because we gave him a resounding "Yes!" We were welcomed in and got a full rundown of all the wonderful things they make. The case and freezer had many selections. This was when we heard a new term to us, "pie shots." Tiny two-bite pies in a variety of flavors. My husband and I got a six-pack and my brother-in-law and sis-in-law also got a six-pack. We went outside and enjoyed our treat at the table on the porch. We brought the remaining with us to have throughout the day. I especially liked it because we could try a bunch of flavors. This was a worthy stop.

I have tried so many salsas and hot sauces that have Carolina Reaper pepper in them, and most taste on the bitter or burnt side. Purchased a jar of their salsa, and tried it when I got home.... If you like flavorful, salsa with a kick, I highly recommend this salsa. I will be going to get some more. The products this local business offers are stellar. It will take quite a few trips to try all that we want. Absolutely recommend!!
