7 Best Cafes near Empire

“3-key ingredients to a successful cafe: 1-cleanlines, 2-exceptional quality Service, 3-obviously, good food. They had all three. Especially the first two. I will often stop here…“

“Great ambience, warm welcome and service, great coffee!“

“Jen was seriously the best. I absolutely love her bubbly personality. She makes you feel so happy. I was able to hang out and read while my boyfriend skied the mountain. I would highly recommend the spinach and feta croissant with chai tea for breakfast and the chicken bacon ranch panini for lunch.“

“My husband and I had a fabulous lunch at Mountain Mama's this afternoon. Every single bite of the chicken picatta soup and Italian sandwich were delicious/perfect. The lavender lemonade was wonderful and my husband thought the coffee was excellent. To top it off, we landed on the super comfortable high seats looking out over the town and mountains. Come for the view but stay for this food. The service was great too.“

“The menu is straightforward, the sandwiches are delightful, and the folks running the place were friendly and helpful.

My family was very happy - my four year old even ate most of his turkey and cheese, which is rare for a sandwich.

Also, the music choice was fun.“

“Why didn’t I take a photo of my food? Can’t tell you. What I can tell you is the waffles and bacon were my favs here. The staff was sooo nice to this non skier. Highly recommend. My husband enjoyed the strawberry banana smoothie. Portions were nice as well. If I return this will be my spot!“
