The current rating of barely 3.5 stars certainly didn't look promising and yet after browsing the photos posted by the previous diners, I got a conviction that this place might be more than the mediocre rating. I thus proceeded my way to the store to try it out. And I didn't regret a bit. It was a slow high noon lunchtime for this quaint shop. When I stepped in there was only one person inside (and he soon left) so all of a sudden I had the whole place to myself! The lady upfront warmly received me with a nice smile. She let me take my time after I had said "I think I will need a minute." At this time, I was already impressed. Not only the kind welcoming greeting by the lady, the showcase to display all the baked goods to the adorable interior to the store merchandise to the selection of the gelato to the little refrigerator to hold prepackaged goods, this store was definitely way more than 3.5 stars. As I was browsing, the two salads in the mini (clear) refrigerator caught my attention so I inquired about them. Both the Chickpea and Roma Pasta Salads were only $6. I was like "Yup, I am getting them!" I definitely needed one (sweet) bakery item so I went with the Bread Pudding with Almond Cream Cheese. This place is not much of a tea place however. I thought I was going to get an iced tea or something but whereas they do have tea lattes they don't make simple teas (hot or cold) is what I heard from the lady. No worries on that. I hence went with a hot Americano. This ended up being the right choice as I would need something a bit stronger than a simple tea so I would be able to stay awake on the road to get back to Denver after the strenuous runs at Keystone resort. She did ask me if I wanted my bread pudding be warmed up to which I said yes. She then put everything in a brown bags and carefully placed a little container of half and half on top of everything which she warmed me about if tipped off it might spill a bit so she said to be careful. I certainly wasn't expecting this kind of above-and-beyond-ness; service here thus is top-notch. She saw me off with the same warm smile as I walked away from it. As soon as I back to my car, I started my little lunchtime. And I tell you, EVERYTHING i got today was more than satisfactory. Both salads were exceptionally made (I especially liked the Chickpea one.) The Bread Pudding had a nice texture with the perfect sweetness. And it was a good portion as well. My Americano was nice and steamy. And the side half and half she gave me was more than enough. This experience was way more than I had expected in so many different ways. So in conclusion, True Blue is very much under-appreciated. Hence, by writing this review, I am spreading the love I have for this store to the entire state of Colorado. People, go here if you are in Silverthorne/Dillon/Keystone area; this is a gem! read more

This place is under construction right now and is closed. I found out only by going to the store and seeing their sign. They should update all websites with this. Also I ordered for pick up on DoorDash. They should not be accepting orders on DoorDash right now. Since it appears they are open and processing orders I could not get a refund from DoorDash. Very frustrating. read more

True Blue Coffee & Gelato is yummy! I'm particular about my coffee - and the coffee here is delicious. Their beans are from Breckenridge Coffee Roasters, a local spot. I tried an iced S'mores latte and my partner ordered a Hazelnut Crème Carmel latte. Both were flavorful and balanced. They have a large flavored latte menu, and also sugar free vanilla, hazelnut, and carmel syrup. Alternative milk is offered for $1 more. Our barista, Kat, was super friendly and offered food recommendations. The inside is nice with lots of windows, making the cafe bright. There's also a dog-friendly outdoor patio with ample seating. Free WiFi is offered, making this an ideal place to work on a laptop. Some tables are marked as "screen free" with an idea to use the table to socialize or read a book. In addition to coffee, they have gelato, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and a long list of lunch sandwiches. They are open until 7pm weekdays and 8pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This is a great place to come for breakfast, grab a pastry, meet up with friends, or hang on a patio. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a quick croissant sandwich that was very yummy. Cute little shop with tea, coffee and gelato. Server was friendly! read more

Food was super. We got the bacon burrito and the keystone sandwich. Great breakfast on the go!

Friendly service here. Quite pricey for the gelato, but not many places around, and gelato does usually end up being pricey. It's a little closer to ice cream than gelots to be honest, but they do have a lot of unique flavors to choose from. My rating would've ideally been 3.5 stars. read more

Loved the coffee and pretzels from this cafe. Service was fast and friendly, and the coffee was a perfect pick me up after a full day of snowboarding. Views from the coffee shop were also beautiful. read more

Looks great & drove way out of our way to visit today at 4:30pm. Maps says they're open until 6pm & to our surprised they were closed at 4:30pm. Stop closing while your business hours say open. It is frustrating with minimum options in the mountains & people drive well out of their way to visit you. read more

Boo! Hours say til 5 on Tuesday and they were closed at 4:45. Wish we could have enjoyed

After enjoying lunch in Frisco, I was craving some dessert. It looked like the Dillon area was really beautiful (spoiler alert: it is!) and I had gotten a recommendation that there were great gelato options in the area, so I headed down the road to check it out. When I arrived, it was pretty empty. Two girls in front of me got five different samples. By the time they were done, there was a long line behind me. Instead of getting any samples, I asked if she recommended the chocolate or mint chocolate chip gelato to go with cookies and cream. She suggested the mint, so I ordered two scoops in a cup. I headed to the register to pay. He was in the middle of making a drink and answering customer questions about the alcoholic options, so the second line waited a couple minutes until he could return to the register. (The gelato was starting to melt a little bit by the time I paid.) The prices were very reasonable for two scoops. He noted that I could also get a pint to go, but I don't think it would have survived my drive back. I took a seat inside to enjoy my dessert. The gelato was pretty good. I liked the flavors and the texture was thick. There was a richness to both scoops. Overall, I'm glad I stopped by here for a treat. read more

If you're looking for a place to study or work, this coffee shop is not the place for you. They advertise having a "workspace" which includes bar style seating lined with charging plugs, but don't let it fool you. They don't offer any WiFi and passive aggressive messages are posted on all the tables stating that they discourage screen use. If the owners were looking for a way to alienate locals, they succeeded. If you want to feel welcomed, I recommend House of Vibes or Red Buffalo, who both also have way better coffee than this place. I won't be back. read more

Charged $2.50 service charge on my credit card and there is no phone to call and discuss only email or text

Delicious! Visited with our friends and had these gelato varieties: cookies & cream, dark chocolate, and coffee-chocolate chip - loved them all. Also got a yummy hot almond joy latte! Had nice chat with the owners. We'd recommend you visit for a nice snack! read more

Stopped in while visiting family in the area and each of us got gelato and really enjoyed the rich flavors and our time on the patio. I had the Bourbon Vanilla Apple Crisp and the the apple bits were outstanding. My daughter had been there before and loved the coffee (amazingly this store previously had been a Starbucks). The owner told us about opening and running the store and genuinely is dedicated to serving the community. We'll certainly be back when in the area. read more

Amazing coffee, and delicious gelato? Now that's a combo I never knew I needed! Here at True Blue Coffee & Gelato you can satisfy almost any craving -- from yummy pastries, fire coffee and creamy ice cream with top notch flavors to a solid breakfast/lunch menu which includes paninis, avo smash, and breakfast sandos... I'm telling you this spot has it all. I also enjoyed co-working here for the day and loved the natural lighting this place has. Keeps you motivated to stay in the zone and get work done. My coffee order is pretty boring, but I loved the coffee here -- I got an oat milk latte and loved it. If you're around Keystone looking for a coffee shop, I'd 100% recommend this spot. read more

Gave this place 2 stars because of the cashiers lack of knowledge on menu items. I asked what kind of matcha the place used , she said "normal". Definitely don't recommend for matcha drinks, given the color of the powder was pale green. Poor quality matcha equals pale green color. read more

I really dug True Blue coffee! Neat little shop with room to hang out and the baked goods were delicious. The cold brew had the right amount of flavor and cream. Really nice coffee shop! read more

Two weeks in a row this place was was closed even though on line it stated it was open until 6. First time the staff closed up at 4 pm and today at 3 pm they stated through a sign on the door they had staff issues What a bummer. Not coming back again for the same experience. Other coffee shops in the county can be counted on to be open during the day! (And when they state they are open) read more

Lovely place for a bite or drink! I've been here a couple times for a coffee and pastry but this time I was delighted with the news that they're now serving cocktails like this espresso martini! They have a lovely selection of coffee, baked good, lunch options (soup and sandwiches), and even ice cream! Plus, the service is impeccable; helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Inside you can sit and enjoy the breathtaking mountain views-- highly recommended next time you're in Dillon! read more

Glad we found this coffee shop! The avo smash toast was super delicious and so was the ham and swiss croissant. Also the coffee was tasty. Great service and we were given recommendations on the best breakfast items on the menu and they didn't disappoint. read more

Bad experience at the cafe today. The 2 people working couldn't care less about serving the customers. They wouldn't make eye contact and when I was finally able to place my order they were out of chai. They have a menu with 5-6 chai offerings and were out? I feel bad for the owners. The workers were extremely lazy. read more

Super duper slow. Burritos are small and premade. They didn't have the Swiss cheese for the croissant. They lost track of whether or not they had made all the lattes. Yikes read more

We were staying in Keystone and they were expecting rain for about an hour. We decided to duck into this little coffee and gelato store to get coffee and chill. We were there when it wasn't super busy so we had a good experience. We got a London fog and a dirty chai to drink and both enjoyed it. There were two young workers and the girl was really attentive to customers (it was her last day) and the guy seemed in training. They were both kind to everyone that came in. As we were leaving it got packed so I'm sure those people may have had a different experience. We enjoyed our coffee, the fun leather chairs, and the chill vibes. another customer complained about the WiFi not working but we weren't using it so ‍ Would recommend if you are looking for a place to sit and work/read and want a cup of coffee. Just time your visit before or after the crowd read more

Very pricy. Burritos come frozen and pre made. When we got ours, the burrito was still frozen inside. We also ordered a grilled cheese- it was a bland piece of cheese between bread that was not toasted and zero butter. Wait time was extremely long for frozen food. read more

Waited 15 minutes for one latte. The one person working didn't seem to be in a hurry. Terrible service!

Adorable little shop. I didn't try the gelato, but the iced latte was very delicious and flavorful. The staff was very friendly as well. read more

Not sure what happened with this place. A few times I've stopped by they've been closed. When they were open the staff was really rude and bothered that they had customers. Used to be a good local spot, but lately it's not the atmosphere you want to be at. Hopefully it's just a staffing issue but the two owners need to do something about it. Because the owners are wonderful. The staff. Not so much. read more

Trendy spot for a caffeine fix. The baristas were helpful with the menu options, and very patient while we pondered our choices. They were out of the breakfast burritos at the time, so we went for a hot bagel and it did not disappoint! The discount basket of day old baked goods at the register got us, too, in the best way - it was the perfect sweet treat on our road trip to Steamboat. Loved stopping in! read more

This place used to be so awesome. Now it's just another place is summit where you get treated like crap. I've been coming here for years and have usually loved it but I will not be going back after the way I was treated today. Young girl, long light brown hair, foreign accent from Argentina maybe made me feel very unwelcome and that I was inconveniencing her with ordering a latte and then a water after an hour of working there, after I had tipped 20% on an $8 latte. She kicked me out of the coffee shop at 3:53 PM today when it clearly states they are open 8PM every day. Two guests came in directly as she rudely told me to leave and she immediately barked at them that they are closed. Those guests looks so sad. She's ruining people's moods, one day at a time. True Blue, you lost a long time customer today, too bad for you. read more

A cup of tea was $5 The barista was rude when advising us of the rules about where my writing group could sit to work. She told us that people just order 1 tea and sit for hours and take up the space, then rolled her eyes and walked away. We'd ordered tea and I had planned to order food in an hour or so but instead we left and won't be back. read more

Solid Gelato. Fast friendly service and they are open in the evening for dessert. I did not try coffee or breakfast. But I will based on the gelato experience. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The gelato was so delicious there were seven of us and between all of us I think we tried every flavor. Every single one of us was pleased with our gelato. I also ordered oat lattes and they were delicious. What I really like about this place is that they're very eco-conscious. Also the young lady behind the counter was so friendly and nice. We felt very welcomed and ended up staying a little while and ordering extra ice cream and coffee. I heard the young man with her congratulate her for being a part of their busiest day, I'm sure my crew had something to do with that! Lol read more

I came back and they made me an excellent hot chocolate. Definitely check this place out.

Looked like a really cute place. I used to come here daily when I lived in Summit Cty. and it was a Starbucks. I figured it would be good to support a local business and skip the Starbucks in City Market. We went inside and there was no one behind the counter. We waited at least 10 minutes and no one appeared. I thought it was weird how empty the place was since it was 11:30 and close to the lunch hour. Finally, we realized there's a bell so I rang it. A server appeared from the back and did not look pleased to see us. Maybe she was having a bad day? I ordered a cappuccino with nonfat milk but she began arguing that nonfat milk was not a good choice for a cappuccino since it doesn't foam well. Huh??? . Sorry to break it to you but I was a barista for years and nonfat foams just as well as full fat. I wasn't going to argue but said I'd prefer nonfat milk please. When I received the drink we quietly left. My first sip wasn't until we'd hit heavy traffic on I-70. It was probably the worst cappuccino I've ever had. It was scalding hot, bitter and only halfway full with guess what?? Foam. Lots and lots of foam. read more

The people that work there are super nice and the food and the coffee are amazing! When we come back to visit from kc we're coming back here for sure! read more

The service was abysmal. They had one person working which is just not sustainable. Forgot multiple parts of our order multiple times. Not her fault, that's a management failure. Also the portions are tiny and the burritos are advertised as "hand made" but they pull them out of a warming case. And again it was tiny and 12 dollars. Overpriced, underwhelming and understaffed. Don't recommend. Edit- Response to owner: No, it was a single order. It was annotated as multiple because some of our food and two drinks were missing. It took nearly an hour to get everything. It was not the employee's fault, she was very nice and did the best she could--she did refund us after everything. You're lucky to have her. I paid in cash initially and did include a tip. You're not making this better with your response. read more

The family got four drink. The lavender lemonade and the cold brew with cold foam were delicious. My son and I love chai so we both got one. The flavors were got were spicy and we were told this ahead of time. The spice wasn't really the problem. Aside from spice, the drinks were mostly void of that delicious chai flavor. I don't know whether the barista used too little chai, didn't shake the carton before pouring in the cups or if the brand they use just doesn't have a lot of flavor. It nice a nice place with good atmosphere. I just want my drink to taste better. I chose this place over Starbucks to help a local business and maybe get a better tasting drink. I guess I should just still with Starbucks. read more

The paninis were good but unfortunately the service is a bit of a joke. Waited far too long for paninis. Then attempted to get gelato but after 20 minutes we still weren't attended too. Meanwhile the assistant manager (who was bragging about this title to a customer) spent those 20 minutes socializing, while the other two employees lazily made coffee orders. Sadly the staff is a bunch of 20 something year olds who don't care about the actual business or customer service. Will not return. We were not the only customers who left the restaurant without ordering (dessert). read more
