These guys deliver on all fronts. One of the most refreshing dine-in experiences I've had this summer. In the age of $7 coffee and $23 burgers, stepping into Village Smithy to grab an omelette and bottomless joe for about $15 brought back the nostalgia of those early 1990s diners of my youth. No surprise they've been holding it down for 50 years in the same spot.

Not sure why the high ratings. All the food we ordered was mediocre at best, and our server was poor- he even forgot to get our water or refill our coffee despite asking several times…we just gave up.

Good breakfast choice if you dont mind waiting a long time for a table for brunch.

We originally came planning to have a meal, but ended up just grabbing coffee instead, which turned out to be very enjoyable. The coffee was smooth and well-prepared, and the atmosphere overall was pleasant. One thing to note for fellow dog owners: while they do have a dog-friendly area, it isn’t a serviced section, so the only option is to order takeout if you want to sit there with your pet. It wasn’t a big issue for us, but good to keep in mind. The food that we saw coming out to other tables looked tasty, so we’d consider coming back to try it another time.

Stellar must do brunch spot. We stopped on our way between aspen and crested butte for the grand traverse. Soo many options on both the sweet and savory sides. Go with the Smithy 7 option. I did classic eggs with rye toast so I could try the house made raspberry jam. The lemon bread french toast was the star of the show and is a must order. Great enclosed patio made for a perfect morning. The vegan of our group raved about the tofu scramble as well - a win for everyone!

We came from Aspens festival to hopefully get something a little cheaper and more filling and we definitely succeeded. This meal was delicious, the staff were so absolutely friendly. Highly recommend stopping by here for some great eats and great prices. We had about 15 minutes of waiting but so worth it.
I order the most basic breakfast from the side menu to go. I order it online and pay for it online. The service at the “to go” window has been inconsistent. Should be a quick and easy pick up but, it never is. Today my order was only partially complete and the guy behind me in line walked away from the window with his large pickup order that he paid for at the window before I was able to get everything I ordered and already paid for. The person helping him completed my order after the other customer left. Half my order was cold. Great food though.

Best steak and eggs I've ever had!

We came here for a late breakfast and were not disappointed. Had to park on the street due to not beating the breakfast rush, which was also followed by a brief wait for our table. Orange juice was good, however the coffee was a bit too bitter for some of the members in our party. The lemon bread French toast was irresistible, and they give you an option of fresh fruit which was also delicious. Others in my party enjoyed their seasonal pancakes (peaches this time around) as well as Belgian waffles.

Village Smithy is always a treat! Sundays are a busy day and it never fails to be well worth the wait which always moves faster than you think!!! Food, as aways, is delicious!!

Generally speaking, the western side of Colorado can be somewhat of a vegan desert. Unless you have an unlimited budget for Aspen, or are willing to eat Asian food most anywhere else, finding different vegan foods in this area of the state, especially breakfast, is challenging to say the least.
Although the Village Smithy is definitely oriented towards the carnivore, their tofu scramble is very good, not to mention the excellent kashi grain side which comes with it. As other have noted, ask for the bread without butter, and then smother it in their homemade preserves. In addition, the McGurks is also very tasty; just make sure they leave off the cheese.
They also have an extensive offering of non-dairy 'milks' for your coffees, lattes, etc.
Very good tofu scramble! Awesome portion size.
