It's better than the coffee I get from the west coast. Now for why I'm only giving a rating of three stars even though the bacon breakfast burritos are really good too. I think there should be some restaurant etiquette associated with contaminated food. I was served a breakfast burrito today which was served to me cut into 2?halves. I ate the first half looked at the second half and found a black hair sticking out of the end of the breakfast burrito. The wait staff said they would comp my burrito, but apparently forgot to or didn't after all. oddly enough, the circumstance was brought back to my mind this evening when I found a hair in my wife's meal at cheesecake factory in Denver West they didn't comp the meal either. I just think that there needs to be more respect shown to customers that when you eat food that has been contaminated with the staff's hair, maybe you give them the food and just thank them for coming

The food is good, but they changed the names of some items so Yelp's menu isn't accurate. The…read morechicken sandwiches are very spicy! Beware the sauce! And don't come here if you're in a hurry.

The parking lot is very limited so we parked on the street. This place is very busy. It was about a 40 minute wait and our group was split because the place is quite small. Food is okay. It wasn't memorable. They do come in large portions so it is a lot of food. Might be best to share one meal and order a side or something. But if you're eating post workout, it is quite nice. Overall, it's not too bad. I don't know if I would come back personally due to the long wait times. I tried coming again at a later time and for 2 people, it was an hour wait.

Shane and Lynn quickly put a table together for us, and the menu of sandwiches and salads was so enticing that we stayed for lunch. The amazing carrot cake was an additional temptation...one slice big enough to give each of us several bites. And miraculous, they have a special menu section for senior appetites with smaller servigs, and prices! The food came out quickly, and hot (for the grilled sandwiches), a real surprise given the size of our group. Will have to get up early to try the breakfast menu, maybe the day we take our grandson to camp, just across 285 in Indian Hills.

Suffice it to say, this place has ruined all other bakeries for us. The staff was extremely helpful in giving recommendations, and they did not disappoint. I got the cinnamon roll (of course), and a cheese danish, and my wife got their lemon & almond pastries. The price was extremely reasonable for what we were about to experience. Dear reader, these delectable delights were unlike anything we've ever tasted before. Perfectly buttery, flaky, warm, and full of flavor. It was all we could do not to make a scene at our table out of sheer culinary delight. We actually ended up going back to the counter for seconds. Now, days later, we're back in Michigan, sitting down with cinnamon rolls from our local bakery, and it's just... okay? "It's not Taste of Denmark..." I say, the light fading from my eyes. "Yeah..." my wife responds, despondent. So thank you, Taste of Denmark. You have set the bar too high, and now none shall ever compare. I hope you're happy.

The almond krinkle (which I think is their most popular) was probably the best item we had next to the jalapeño sour dough. The loafs of bread were good and tasty and I would consider buying them to make a sandwich with. They have a lot of options. I wish there were names. I was just guessing what looks good and pointing at what I wanted. The parking lot is small but most people get their pastries and leave. The space is small. They have indoors and outdoor seating. No one sat inside when we went so we were kinda the first. Service is friendly and they do try to get you your order quick.

An employee sat down near me, and we started talking - turns out he's the owner (but I didn't get his name). He was extremely personable and friendly. He shared his philosophy about business in Morrison. He's not about competition in the small town. He just wants more people to experience what Morrison has to offer.

It was great to see how young people (teenagers and early 20 years olds) were working at this local spot. They were also doing an amazing job being attentive. We got the tea of the Tillman drink to soothe our thirst after a hike and the summer heat. It was tart but refreshing. I have never had a drink like it before. I highly recommend trying it. We ordered chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and the mushroom omelette. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and came away full! If you're in the area around breakfast or lunch time, stop in. They have deserts and hand pies to-go. We didn't try them but they looked delicious.
