“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

“Chai tea was precise A great chai tea is a harmonious blend of robust black tea and a medley of warming spices. The base tea is strong enough to hold its own, often Assam or Darjeeling, providing a rich, malty backdrop. The spices—typically a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper—are balanced perfectly, each one enhancing the others without overpowering the cup. The addition of creamy milk (often whole or plant-based) softens the spices, creating a smooth, comforting texture. Sweetened just enough to highlight the flavors, this chai is fragrant, warming, and invigorating, making it a delightful experience with every sip.“

“The BEST bakery in Aspen with homemade gelato, fresh cookies, milkshakes, muffins, croissants and coffee!“

“Food was delicious and view spectacular“

“Tucked in the southeast corner of Aspen behind City Market is a cozy gem of a French breakfast/lunch café. The proprietor greets each guest as if they were a regular, bringing warmth and cheer to your morning coffee experience. Breakfast fare ranges from pasteries or yogurt and berries to custom egg dishes to hearty full breakfast fare. There is a choice of indoor or outdoor seating with a casual welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place you want to keep to yourself, but your conscience knows they deserve a great review.“

“Cute. Quick. Water station! Mocha coffee was great. It’s right next to the gondola and has a fire pit outside. The inside is a cafe disguised as a ski shop. Pretty innovative experience. Also attracts cute doggies!!! Only downside is it’s pretty crowded but that’s when you knows it’s good. Definitely would come back. “

“Just enjoyed a yummy - Chicken wrap! with wild baby arugula, heirloom tomatoes, manchego cheese, red onion marmalade, and kale pesto wrapped in a flour tortilla. So good!!“

“Most Starbucks that are located inside grocery stores don’t seem to have a good selection of merchandise. Driving through the other day, I de died to stop in and check it out..definitely well stocked and a perfect variety..especially for any Starbucks Collector.“

“We’re visiting snowmass and we have been here every day for the last three straight days lol. It’s no secret that snowmass/Aspen food and drink can get pricey so it’s nice to have a casual, affordable place to get a quick breakfast or lunch and a FANTASTIC coffee! Best coffee in the area by far, the iced caramel latte with oat milk is heaven! The workers have been nothing but kind and helpful and music is always playing giving a great vibe and they make wonderful food! :)“

“Incredible service and delicious food. Big munchies stayed open late, made us fresh empanadas and served us free coffee while we waited. Breakfast burrito is so good that strangers were talking about it on the lift. Getting another tomorrow.“
