I picked up a chocolate Halloween care package for my friend who's recently went into a surgery. I think she'll absolutely love it since spooky season is her natural season. The owner was super kind and friendly - she helped make a fancy little bag for my friend! They've been here since May and it's a great location in my opinion. I expect it won't take long for the foot traffic to really put this place on the map forever.

She didn't say sorry for the wait or what would you like. I'll go back again to see if service is better or maybe that particular person had a bad day.

Food - we ordered a sausage burrito, which was very delicious. They definitely give you a lot of meat, which is nice since that's what you're paying for. No potatoes in the burrito, which is another plus in my opinion. Bagel sandwich with added pesto was perfect. The bagel was soft and fresh which I appreciate. Excited to return here again!

When a new place opens, everyone is excited to try it. Hot weather and a new ice cream store are…read morethe perfect times to score a win-win scenario. My feeling is that this opening missed the mark. With a line out into the parking lot, the excitement grows, making you think this place is hoping. It is sort of. With multiple locations to place your order, there is no defined way to line up for a smooth process, nor is there a defined process to pick up your order. This slows service down, creates confusion, and upsets customers when someone cuts the line because no one is standing at the open window, as people have been rotating out of a single line. This is easily fixable and needs to be addressed. Pick up is the same way. Some people were waiting at the front of the store, some on the side, and the employee was walking to each window, calling out for the person to get their order. Now, the big reveal: the ice cream. I had a medium waffle cone, which comes with three scoops of ice cream. I got two scoops of cookies and cream and a cherry vanilla. The cherry vanilla was softer than a soft-serve cone. It was on its way to melting as it was handed to me. The cookies and cream were also softer than usual. Flavor was okay, but there was nothing to write home about. Indeed, not a "premium" experience. With my partners' and my orders, I could have stopped at Hy-Vee and had three containers of Häagen-Dazs. Oh, well, you have to try to know.

I came to know about this beautiful little space thru' some reels/news in social media. Open kitchen kinda concept & there were tables inside and outside of the restaurant. Inside space is designed thoughtfully with some flowers and plants. Everything in the menu looked very good & tasted good too. I've got turkey sandwich and my friends got po boy sandwich and quiche. They all came with either a side of chips or potato wedges. You can also substitute it with a side salad for 2$ up charge. It took about 15-20 minutes to get the food to the table. I really really loved the Turkey sandwich and the side salad combo that I ordered. Croissant was soft and turkey was so tender with a secret sauce elevated it to the next level. One of my friend really liked his spiced shrimp po boy sandwich too. Potato wedges were fire. Looking forward to my future visits, hopefully I can try the ice creams and po boy sandwich next time.

Of the 4 shops we visited this was by far the weakest of the presentations and offerings. We received a 4oz sample of their Ranger Maple Latte and a 5 minute presentation on the business. The drink is tasty but definitely not on the same level as what other shops were providing in the amount of different products offered for samples and certainly not for quantity when focusing on only one product. I was surprised to learn that Front Range is owned by the "Made in Kansas City" retail chain. No offense to the presenter, she was welcoming and friendly, I just think a more detailed presentation of the company as a whole could have been given. I do like the Rocky Mountain cabin vibe that they have created to make you feel that you've traveled 10 hours west and holding up in a cafe in Breckenridge. 3 stars for Caffeine Crawl experience (this location only) 5 stars for ambiance. 4 stars for product and value

I look around, take in the atmosphere, smell the coffee in the air, and just let a smile happen. The vibe matters to me, and so do the baristas.

I'd be coming back to Front Range again and again. It was one of those "where have you been all my life?" moments. Like. don't ever leave.
