Turkey avocado wrap
Tracie L.

This was okay. I want to give 3 stars but feel that is harsh since the food was good. Just not great. The speed of the woman at the register was very slow. Between taking orders, she'd go and chat with other employees behind the counter. I never order bowls but decided to try a Canyon bowl, since it was the smoothie that I planned to order but with the addition of granola, banana, cacao nibs and walnuts. This was mostly granola and not enough of the smoothie, for my taste. There were also chunks of banana that were not puréed. I wish I'd gotten the smoothie but no regrets as you don't know if you don't try it! I just know that going forward, if I returned, I'd get a smoothie. My husband got iced coffee and said it was okay. He and my son got the turkey avocado wrap. It was pretty small but sufficient to satisfy their hunger. I did also get their energy bites and they were delicious. I'd recommend these.

Menu

Perfect balance of nourishing foods and delicious pastries. Enjoy this casual local spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. The ladies at the counter were also very sweet!

Me w/ my Rafter sandwich! YEAHYA!

Delicious food! I recommend the rafter w/ a fried egg! And the canyon smoothie is yummy!

Bagel sandwich
Keely C.

On our tour through Colorado THIS was the best breakfast. I am sorry I didn't get the names, but I had (essentially) a BLT breakfast sandwich and my wife had your classic egg, bacon & cheese. We both had them on jalapeño bagels. The chia was REAL (if you're a chai person you know what I mean). Ordering is walk up and they also have an ordering POS system if you know to look for it. Service was quick. The shop is cute with seating inside and out.

This breakfast is one of the best I have ever had. They have everything you could imagine - smoothies, acai, sandwiches, bowls, burritos, etc. the vibes are incredible, service is fast. I would definitely come here again, I'll be dreaming about my breakfast bowl for forever

Kristie N.

Certainly one of the healthier establishments I've been to but did not disappoint. Ordered smoothies and grabbed a quick protein bar to-go. No complaints about service, it was quick. Location is about 15-minutes from the hot springs.

Rancher, breakfast burrito
Kristina S.

Place is clean, organized and the workers were nice. The Rancher breakfast burrito was 5/5 amazing. The Açaí bowl was 5/5 amazing. Bigger than I expected and had great Add-ons for a good price. The drip coffee was not that good. The oatmeal giant cookie was terrible but not made here. It was made by La Belle French Bakery. I would highly recommend this place for a burrito or Smoothie or Açaí bowl!

The Eddy
Brett N.

Why 4 stars? Because my breakfast and coffee hit the spot. --- --- --- We were staying at Mount Princeton resort and in need of coffee. I can't bring myself to drink hotel room, brewed coffee, so we headed into town and scored our caffeine from The Blend. Truthfully, was it that much better than Folgers from an old CoffeeMate? I don't know for sure, but I certainly didn't hate my drip coffee. It tasted like a good umpire at a baseball game: I didn't notice it. And that's what you need in a black coffee, and someone officiating a sports game. I also did something I almost never do and ordered breakfast. As a diligent faster, I usually don't eat anything until late in the afternoon, but on vacation, there are no rules. I ordered the Eddy, which was essentially a lox bagel sandwich. And it did the job. The Blend is definitely a solid option for anyone staying at Mount Princeton and it might be the closest physical restaurant away, at about 11 miles door-to-door.

The front of the coffee shop from the sidewalk.
Craig K.

I went to this coffee shop in Buena Vista for the first time today and had a very pleasant experience. The shop is very conveniently located right on Main Street about a block from Highway 24, has plenty of free parking nearby, is nicely decorated on the outside and inside, I was greeted upon entering the cafe, they have a nicely done electronic menu (about 4' x 4') right above the counter with simple, organized sections of the food & beverage items they sell, lots of delicious looking danishes, muffins, cookies, etc., enclosed behind a glass counter, the employee taking my order was pleasant, friendly and efficient, my medium roast coffee with caramel syrup was excellent (they had stevia), as was my blueberry muffin, and chicken salad wrap that I got for lunch at lunchtime, the dining room had adequate seating, some with padded seating and was clean, my order were served promptly, they had free WiFi that worked great, and the restroom (one) was clean and did not smell.

Great place to start the day! Quick, friendly service. Hot, tasty latte, fresh bagel with smear. Outdoor eating is a must in BVCO.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in town--you truly can't go wrong with any of the food or drinks…read morehere. I would almost dare say I'm a frequent flyer to this place. My go-to is so simple: their dark roast coffee of the day and 2 gluten free donut holes. They have an assortment of gluten free pastries which are all sooooooo good. What's even better is that sometimes they have "day-olds" for 50% off. What a steal! I've also gotten their Eggman Sandwich on gluten free bread and also their Meaty Bowl when I'm super hungry. The Meaty Bowl is very filling--it doesn't look like a whole lot, but they don't skimp on the meat, I'll tell ya that! My favorite smooth is the Green Dream with protein powder, and second favorite would be the Tropical Storm. Both are fantastic choices! The highlight of it all is their staff. Everyone who works there is welcoming, happy, and the most attentive people. Katie always brightens my day--she always has a smile on her face! So yeah, if you're in Buena Vista, don't miss Cool River. It is the BEST.

They roast their beans in-house, which means every cup starts with incredibly fresh coffee. I ordered a latte with whole milk--no sugar or syrups--and it was exceptionally smooth. The beans had natural notes of fruit and nuts, making the coffee flavorful without needing any sweeteners. The patio is a great place to rascals the summer heat. I only have one regret: I wish I had bought a bag or two of beans to bring back to Denver.

We went into a couple of other supposed coffee stores in this little town and they really didn't have what we wanted which was a cortado. Most of the people didn't even know what we're talking about. And suggested that we go to Buena Vista Roastery. Really nice set up. Wonderful cortados and espresso americanos, etc. etc. Also had some Nice baked goods and a real cool vibe. You could sit inside or outside. When we were. There was pretty hot so we stayed inside, but it's a hopping place. Lots of people on their laptops, apple parking and again, a really great vibe to the place. People that work. There were really nice and we would absolutely come back.

I didn't even get to take a photo of the pretzel because I completely annihilated it. It was phenomenal. I came to my senses enough go photograph the sandwich, it was also amazingly good. I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.
