12 Best Cafes in Aspen

“’m always looking for some place different to eat, to stay, to do, when we travel. I’m not sure how I even found this restaurant but I’m sure part of the attraction was a black owned business in Aspen. MAWA’s Kitchen is like striking gold in the mountains of Colorado. Every dish was excellent, from the Brussel Sprout Caesar to the Two Roots Sautéed Greens, pure heaven in your mouth. For our entrees Conrad chose the Red Snapper. It was served on top of some Zaalouk, which is a Moroccan salad of cooked eggplant and tomatoes. Delicious. I chose the West African Gumbo. The flavors meshed together perfectly and had a little spicy Andouille sausage to kick it up a notch. The servers were great and they even gave me a dessert for my birthday. I would definitely recommend this for a great dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped by for brunch today, another excellent meal. Got to meet Mawa. Such a great place. And the servers are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Normally I am a very picky eater, but I LOVED the food they serve here, it’s flavorful, and there are many vegan options, I liked the “Pretty in Pink” and the nachos, the restaurant was almost full, but the service was quick and amazing. Highly recommended. Updated from previous review on 2024-12-26“

“Delicious pastries, sandwiches, omelettes, and salads. My children love the quiche and mini donuts. The space inside is tiny, but there are a few tables outside too.They also serve wine and other beverages.Best place in the area to get pastries.“

Sant Ambroeus Coffee Bar in downtown Aspen is a true gem! I had the pleasure of trying their salmone and ricotta toast, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The toast was perfectly crisp, providing a delightful base for the rich, creamy ricotta that paired beautifully with the beautifully smoked salmon.

Every element of the dish was thoughtfully crafted, and the fresh herbs added a burst of flavor that elevated it even further. The ambiance of the coffee bar is charming and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to relax and savor a delicious meal.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Aspen, don’t miss the chance to indulge in this fantastic dish at Sant Ambroeus. It’s a brunch experience that you won't soon forget!“

“Fancy Fancy.

First time in Aspen and we need to kill some time in the morning so we popped in for a Chai and coffee and ended up trying breakfast.
The Avo Toast is superb !!! Probably the most artisan toast I’ve ever had.

Staff was friendly. Even the hotel bathroom was fancy.“

“Excellent Pancakes!“
