13 Best Cafes near Cascade

“Iconic. Amazing. Beautiful. These are from the reviews of others, and I'd echo these terms and many more, with regard to this incredible wonder. I've long wanted to drive to the top and we did so on a recent visit. It was early November on an uncharacteristically warm day with beautiful clear skies as we began our ascent, and the weather stayed perfect the whole time, getting colder as we ascended of course. The drive itself starts out very mildly in terms of grade, and frankly, excitement, but it definitely saves the best stuff for later. Once you get into the seriously twisty and steep bits, the trees start to part and reveal the spectacular views as you get higher and higher. Our rented Toyota 4 Runner was more than capable, and got us up and down with aplomb. We were initially excited as we reached the summit, until we got out of the car and headed to the visitor center. It was at that point that my wife and I both realized we had a bit of altitude sickness, in the form of dizziness, light headedness and she even had a smidge of nausea. We were surprised and how, well, almost terrible we felt. We grabbed a couple of quick pics and began our descent, and we began to feel better soon thereafter. So, be prepared for the possibility. As we came back down, we stayed in first gear on the 4 Runner much of the way, and at the mandatory brake check, the checker commented that our brakes were under 100 degrees and that we were doing a great job. The view was even better on the way down. If you're ever in this area, this is a must-do and must-see. It is everything that everyone says, totally awesome.“

“Went on vacation to Colorado and this restaurant was the absolute best restaurant. They have the best fish and chips I have tasted. We have been to several different states and it just does not compare. On our last day we had breakfast and the breakfast burrito is a must!!!! Best restaurant ever!“

“What a great place to eat. The cooks are spot on, making no mistakes. They are excellent cooks. The waitress Rylie was so kind, friendly and attentive. The waitress was so accommodating, attention to detail and full of joy! You can tell immediately when you walk in that the customers are all treated as if they are family. The food is so delicious and made to order. Highly recommend this restaurant. Susie has an amazing restaurant and menu.“

“I will admit that I was hangry before I got here. I was tired, and just flew in from Texas the night before, so I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to eat dinner or breakfast. The atmosphere was very nice. I enjoyed looking at the paintings for sale and thought it was such a nice touch that they included the artist and description for some paintings, alongside a QR code!The workers were pleasant, although I didn’t have much interaction with them myself! They were always productive and with a smile on their face!The wait time was more than I would’ve hoped for, especially with the fact that I was already really hungry. I was with 3 other people and I think the wait was about 20-30 minutes. But the food was delicious!! The pancakes tasted like cake, the fruits were fresh, and the bacon was seasoned and cooked phenomenally.Overall, I had a very nice experience. The only thing I wish could have been different is the wait time and that the butter that came with the pancakes was warm, rather than cold and from a box. I would come here again, and the next time, I’ll try the chicken wrap which my sister thought was amazing!!Parking: Ample parking spots and affordable prices!“

“Food was fantastic. We hiked the incline and wanted some coffee and good breakfast sandwich. We got both. The staff was fantastic! They are super friendly and on top of things. We stepped away for 5min from our table to get a pastry after our sandwich and came back to our table being cleaned off lol. They do free refills so it was all good. But I appreciated that they were cleaning up behind patrons. There is so much to look at here! Lots of plants make the place feel calming.“

“Service was great and so were the little items around the store to peruse while you wait. My family is from New Orleans and have had beignets from there more times than I count so I was hesitant to try these. I shouldn’t have been! These are the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans. Made me want to take a trip back there since it’s been a couple years. Would gladly bring family here. Tried the chocolate dipping sauce to change it up a bit and not sure I’d get again but it was good!“

“I am ashamed to say... I have passed by but never stopped at this lovely coffee shop, until today! Cozy and upbeat modern vibe. Plenty of indoor twosome seating as well as tables for "working". Outdoor seating is welcoming . Staff were attentive and sweet. Coffee was great, the pastries were surprisingly unique! This is my new favorite place to chill!“

“We’ve always been big fans of carnelian coffee, but I wanted to extend some extra gratitude today. My young daughter and I were today and unfortunately she got her hands on a candle and broke the glass. The woman behind the counter, who I believe is the owner, was so gracious about the incident. This meant so much for a solo mom! She made me feel very welcome, and the coffee and food is always delicious!“

“We have had brunch there twice now on our vacation. Yummy food, friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices. Only complaint was we asked for a sandwich to go to take hiking and they made us buy the sides,too (as if we would take FF on a trail!)“

“First time there, as visiting from out of state. Will defiantly go back again when I get the chance. Not much indoor seating. There was possibility out door seating but it was dark when I arrived. Best sandwich I’ve ever ate called the Deli Rose & drank a very good hot Chai Latte. The order took longer than I expected, but worth the wait.“

“This was our favorite quick bite spot at the Broadmoor. Staff were friendly, service was quick and food was good. We always found a place to sit no matter how busy they looked. We ordered their house coffee, cafe latte, sticky buns, turkey sandwich, fruit cup, strawberry smoothies, croissant filled with cheese and turkey. Highly recommend the croissant with turkey and cheese as it was flavorful. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. Average cost was $50+“

“The tortellini is delicious with creamy, cheesy sauce; served with a freshly baked large French bread roll with butter and a side of grapes or cantaloupe. It’s so tasty you may want an extra order to take home for later. The desserts are sinfully delicious. My favorites are the eclairs, the flan, the chocolate mousse & the napoleons. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! You’ll definitely be happy to sit at an outdoor table during warm weather while enjoying the delicious offerings at La Baguette. Bon Appétit!“

“Some of the best quiche i've had outside of chicago. Macaroons were on point. Our host alie was new to baking- but the team in the back of the house comunes regularly with the better angels of world class baking. The hours are later to start and earlier to close- but well worth the 5 dollar parking if your not lucky enough to be a guestKid-friendliness: Two year old had an ace time at macroons.Wheelchair accessibility: All valet accessable as well“
