    Service was great! Our vegetarian burrito and lily pad Sammie were Yummy. They were also super dog friendly! Great ambiance sitting on the patio off the creek!

    Breakfast burrito

    This is the second time we've stayed overnight in town and after enjoying a breakfast burrito from here the previous time, I knew I needed to try it again. The line is almost always pretty long, but the staff is fast and friendly. We placed our order and sat on the cozy couch by the front window while we waited. About ten minutes later the chorizo breakfast burrito came out piping hot as they make it on demand as opposed to pulling them out of a warmer. I wrapped it in a coffee cup holder due to how hot it was and waited a few minutes to let it cool before devouring it. It is a little bit of a wait if you're in a hurry, but worth it for one of the top notch breakfast burritos I've enjoyed in my life.

    Go to stop on way to Aspen. Coffee she turn is great. Peruvian Guatamala decaf and more. Treats

    Cute coffee shop. We stopped in early on a Saturday morning, it was crowded!! We were on our way to Denver airport so we were a little nervous about the line and how long it was taking, but it worked out fine! Obviously the line was because they have great coffee! Unfortunately we couldn't stick around to eat but the shop was very charming and the river out back was lovely! I would've loved to sit outside with my coffee and read by the river if we'd had the time. Will definitely be back when in town. Plenty of parking, reasonable prices.

    We love a good local coffee shop! They have hot breakfast choices as well as bakery items so it was so hard to choose!! They also have lattes and other types of drinks. We ended up buying a bag of coffee beans to bring home so I can't wait to try it! But I didn't get a chai tea latte while there and a vegetarian breakfast burrito. My fiancé got a latte, bacon breakfast burrito, and a banana bread loaf. We took our breakfast out to the back where there are tables set along the water. My chai was yummy. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito. It was a good size - not too big and not too small. It had potatoes, eggs, green chile, and cheese in it. It was delicious!! I love the charm. They had mugs, stickers, t-shirts you can buy. and they had live music of a guy with a guitar on a Saturday morning. Fun!

    Such a cute local coffee shop! Wonderful atmosphere and delicious coffee. You can spend some time there working on your laptop or just grab coffee to go. It checks all the boxes with lots of menu options, friendly service, and easy parking. They also have some local items for sale if you are looking for a souvenir. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Absolutely loved this coffee shop, with modern vibes and a great patio. They have lots of breakfast options that are simple as well as any coffee you can imagine. They definitely are popular so don't come in a rush! But, if you're coming to enjoy the beautiful rushing water while you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, and see some friendly faces around, this is the place to be.

    Having a matcha at this location made my entire morning! They had such a great selection of coffee, tea, breakfast, pastries, and desserts. There is a stunning patio overlooking the creek where I had my matcha latte. It is connected to a walking trail that has breathtaking views as you go along.

    Nutty Professor Latte with Apple Cinnamon Bagel

    Updating my review based on a recent visit. I had the Nutty Professor latte which was amazing and hands down the best apple cinnamon bagel to go with. My husband liked his vanilla latte, pumpkin muffin and plain bagel as well. Definitely redeemed my review with this visit.

    Cute little place with a variety of teas. Inside is quite cozy. The servers are very nice.

    Obsessed with everything about Red Buffalo! Ambulance, customer service, drinks and food! Makes working much more enjoyable when I get to hang there and meet other locals. We even had a pretty wedding ceremony coffee stop here!

    Flavor and tea menu

    Cute local coffee shop close to the highway! Great coffee and all your basic breakfast options with a wide selection. Plenty of seating. Fast service. Adding extra menu pics for others out there that want to know what all the options are before arriving

    A nice special touch to the latte.

    The coffee is fantastic and the blue river in back with a patio is icing on the cake! We come here every time we are in town.

We will be notified with a text when our table is ready. We were told 20 minutes. Tell me why it was an hour...still waiting, other groups with the same number of people as our group were seated before us and arrived after us. I went to the host stand to ask if we were up soon? Magically we're next and they pointed to a table that wasn't even clean that was ours. Waited a bit more. Table is clean but no one sat us? Waited about 10 more minutes waiting to be seated and finally we just sat down ourselves. A gentleman did come and apologize for the wait and brought a dessert for us to share. Thank you for the kindness and apology. Thinking this was the only hiccup. Nope. The family orders drinks and food at the same time. We're hungry and ready to go! Our group didn't get one drink until our food came 30 minutes later? Would have been nice to sip on our coffees and beverages while we waited for our food. Then the food came...what a disappointment. It may look lovely to the eyes but nothing was seasoned. It was sub par at best. We had planned to come the next morning while we waited the hour with all the selections we wanted to try. Not happening. I wished so much that the food and drinks were delish. Feels like if you're there since 1977 you can serve bland food and not care because you have legacy.

I guess they changed their business model for a while and weren't full service, but they are back as I remember it. Full service, hot coffee, friendly staff. It's a little out of the way if the resorts, and that's a bonus. A great local feel. I had a simple breakfast, eggs, bacon and one slice of French toast. It was just the right amount to hit the slopes on, and I didn't break the bank. My son had a southwestern style omelet. He said it was good and he didn't leave hungry. It's comfortable and decorated in local flare. There is plenty of parking and apparently live music occasionally. Stop by if you want to avoid the crowds and have a quiet breakfast.

I suggest they send some staff down to one of the "first watch" restaurants in Denver to learn what a real quality breakfast is.. you could do better Mount Lyon Café! Take pride to serve the best value and best food in the county...
