    Large iced Snickers

    I got a large iced Snickers coffee and it was delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side but that's what I normally go for. To be fair, they did warn me that the Snickers drink is sweeter than the Milky Way (the other fun option) so next time I might try the Milky Way, but I wanted to go all out for this first time! The outdoor patio was nice and the location is great! Overall a great spot.

    We stopped by Vail Village to peruse a bit before we headed back to the city. But first, we came to Loaded Joe's for a quick breakfast and some coffee as they had a nice selection of coffees, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and more. It's one of the more affordable options in these neck of the woods as well. I ordered a medium milky way and we also got two breakfast burritos to share as I had read they are quite large. It was quiet and slow when we arrived so our order came out pretty quickly. We opted to eat outside on the patio to enjoy the fresh mountain air and listen to the stream that runs next to the coffee shop. They have a handful of tables outside and I would definitely recommend sitting out there when the weather is nice. They do have some seats available inside along with some big, comfy couches if you're looking to get cozy. The coffee was on the sweet end and had an almost alcoholic aftertaste to me, but I still liked it. We also enjoyed our burritos and it was the perfect size to share. All in all, it was a great way to start our morning and would recommend a stop here.

    Bathroom entrance

    Would rate 0 stars if I could. Disgusted after witnessing the person selling / handling my sandwich was the manager- I work for a major f&b company, requires all salaried managers to be food safe certified. I can tell the people at this establishment are not. Manager 'Brant' was making my sandwich after smoking a cigarette and not his washing hands. Please think twice before visiting this location. Disgusting sanitary practices. Let me know once your 'manager' has been fired and the sanitation policies are up to standards and maybe will reconsider returning. Thanks! Only cool thing about this place- the bathroom painting. Don't waste your time or risk your health.

    The coffee is supremely terrible here. Service was fine and convenient location, but wouldn't return

    Almond milk latte with a little bit of cinnamon on top!

    Yummy almond milk latte! It was perfectly smooth and had a great flavor! The baristas were kind and quick! A little hidden gem in Vail. The size of the iced coffee makes the price (in my opinion) worth it!

    Mocha and Mexican coffee

    Came here for coffee before our hike early morning. I got the mocha and it was a little too bold for my taste. My friend got Mexican coffee with an extra shot and she mentioned it tasted watered down. The service was awesome and I liked how they word played the tip jars...pretty funny. But their coffee was just ok.

    I stopped in here for a gourmet coffee drink because I was sick of drinking my cheap hotel coffee. Loaded Joe's is conveniently located near the entrance of Vail Village by the highway. Even though I was in and out, I enjoyed how quick and easy I was able to get my coffee drink. Loaded Joe's gets their beans from Rococo Coffee Roasting - a Seattle based company. The nice thing about this place is that they also serve breakfast and lunch sandwiches, beer, wine, and cocktails. I got a Spanish Coffee and enjoyed how smooth and fresh my coffee tasted.

    1 star just because I have to. I asked for slight modifications to a smoothie (my husband had done this the previous day with 0 issues) and they were visibly upset. NOTE - theses weren't prepackaged smoothies so they had all the ingredients available and I only asked for them to add banana + peanut butter and no apple juice. They proceeded to loudly make fun of my smoothie order while making it and then when finished, they put on the counter and said "whatever this is".... Extremely rude staff. Only recommend if you want a sour start to your day.

    Great service, good vibes and nice atmosphere but the weakest worst coffee I have had in a long time. And for $5 a cup!

    While I understand this is a franchise, it isn't from Florida, so very different for me!…read more I was very impressed at the full flavor cold brew (and not iced coffee) they had and the assortment of matcha, tea, and lattes for my family. A great place to come back to for any season because they switch out their flavors and merchandise (really loved all of the Yetis on Yeti mugs) Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who were there to chat and help with any question you might have. I was very impressed and was insanely busy and popular... and for good reason! Keep it up! I'll be back before I leave, for sure and grabbed some beans for the road!

    Yeti's Grind, what the actual fuck is going on over there?…read more I came in looking for coffee and a cinnamon roll. Somehow I left with five complaints, an identity crisis, and a growing suspicion that nobody in this building has ever met a bottle of leather conditioner. Let's start with the chairs. Those leather chairs are DRY. Not "could use a little moisturizer" dry. I mean divorced-dad-elbows-in-February dry. I sat down and the leather made a noise that sounded like it was begging me to finish it off. Those chairs are one ass cheek away from splitting open like a gas-station hot dog. Buy some leather conditioner. Rub it in. Sensually if necessary. At this point, those chairs need foreplay. Next: the cinnamon roll. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CINNAMON? Calling this thing a cinnamon roll is like calling a handjob a honeymoon. Technically something happened, but nobody should be satisfied. I want CINNAMON. I want enough cinnamon that when I take the first bite, my Apple Watch asks if I've been exposed to an industrial spice accident. Right now the cinnamon is apparently working remotely. A few other items that need immediate executive attention: First, your napkins have the structural integrity of wet toilet paper. I wiped my mouth once and the napkin disintegrated in my hand like it had just been told it was getting laid off. I need a napkin that can handle some shit. Literally and metaphorically. Second, the bathroom lighting can go fuck itself. I walked in feeling pretty good about myself. Then I looked in the mirror and apparently I'm a 58-year-old fugitive who sleeps behind a Bass Pro Shops. Nobody needs that kind of truth before 10 a.m. Dim the lights. Add a flattering bulb. Hell, install a Snapchat filter. Lie to me. I'm paying for the experience. Third, the tables wobble just enough to make you question whether you're having a minor stroke. Every time I touched my coffee, the table moved. For ten minutes I genuinely couldn't tell if the furniture was unstable or if my nervous system had finally given up. But now we need to discuss the coffee handoff situation because this shit is insane. When you put two drinks in front of customers, isn't it fairly standard coffee-shop behavior to SAY WHAT THE FUCKING DRINKS ARE? Something simple. "Latte." "Mocha." "Yours." "Hers." Anything. Instead, two cups got dropped in front of us like we had just entered the final round of a game show. No labels. No explanation. Just vibes. Am I supposed to smell them? Lick the lids? Take a sip out of both and play caffeine roulette? Have people evolved and nobody told me? Do Gen Z customers now come equipped with some sort of beverage-recognition organ? Maybe I'm supposed to put on Meta glasses: "Scanning..." "Foam density detected." "Vanilla molecules present." "98% probability this belongs to the blonde woman sitting next to you." Maybe artificial intelligence has gotten so advanced that apparently the fucking coffee no longer requires human communication. I might be the idiot here. Maybe normal people can stare at two beige beverages and immediately know their destiny. I cannot. So please, Yeti's Grind: Condition your leather. Put some actual fucking cinnamon on the cinnamon roll. Buy napkins capable of surviving human contact. Fix the interrogation-room bathroom lighting. Stabilize the tables. And when you put somebody's $8 coffee in front of them, maybe tell them WHICH FUCKING COFFEE IT IS. Otherwise I'm calling corporate. I don't know if Yeti's Grind even has a corporate office. But I'm imagining a gigantic pissed-off Yeti in a three-piece suit sitting behind a walnut desk in a mountain cave. And believe me... That hairy bastard is getting an email. Get your shit together, Yeti's Grind. I say this with love. Mostly.

    While staying in Vail, my wife and I were looking for a good breakfast spot, so we stopped by the…read morefront desk and asked about a couple places we had found on Yelp to see if they had any recommendations. They weren't too familiar with the breakfast at the places we mentioned, but one person immediately said, "There's The Little Diner right down the street. It's very good and has even been featured on the Food Network." We decided to give it a try, and we are very glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and sat at the counter. At the time we were the only customers there. A very nice lady brought us water and got me a coffee while we looked over the menu. It actually took us a while to decide because there were so many great sounding options. As we sat there deciding, more and more people started coming in. My wife ordered the sausage gravy over a biscuit with eggs and cheese grits, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The flavors matched the presentation too. My wife said the sausage gravy was outstanding, and my Eggs Benedict was excellent as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were very good, and the hollandaise sauce had great flavor. While sitting at the counter, we spent some time talking with our server. She told us she had been there since shortly after the diner first opened. Unfortunately, she also explained that the building is scheduled to be demolished so condos can be built above the property, and they are unsure whether the diner will be able to return afterward. It's honestly sad to hear about a place this good possibly being pushed out because of rising development and rental costs. I understand building owners want to maximize profits, but it's disappointing when small local businesses that people truly enjoy are forced out by higher rents and redevelopment. Places like this are what give towns character. Overall, this place was excellent. Great food, friendly people, and exactly the kind of local spot you hope to find while traveling.
