  Great! I got a spiced latte which was delicious. I wanted food, there are several vegetarian options. The woman making the coffee suggested the veggie begal. It was really good! I would stop here again and get the exact same things.

  Sadly, it was closed when I visited Mesa Verde for stabilization, but the lookout for it is amazing!
