Twenty dollars for two chais and a root beer. Pretentious tourist trap. Didn’t have almond milk, didn’t have cup sleeves, $7 for a 12oz drink is absolutely criminal. The soda was $4.75! Image of receipt included as proof. Ridiculous!

Just visiting. Riding on route 145. This amazing little town is still surviving. Building are a photographer delight. Stopped in the Fireweed for a cup of coffee. Got a hot ham and cheddar sandwich. It was delicious. Very quant place. Owners are a delight. It is a must stop place.

This place had all the feels. Finished up a nice morning of backcountry skiing up at Lizard Head Pass and was hankering for some good food and coffee. Glad I made the stop in Rico at Fireweed. I’ll be back!

Very great vibes and kind hearted employees. I tried the chai and it has a spicy delicious kick to it! Never tried one like it! Love it

A beautiful drive from Ridgeway to Rico led us to this gem. We had frittata and a breakfast sandwich. You could taste the high quality of the healthy food. What a lovely experience. Thank you.

A must stop on your ride from Telluride to Delores. Comfortable cafe and mercantile that offers organic light meals, outstanding coffee, friendly service, and a variety of natural products. Cozy seating indoors, and a puppy parking is available for your best friend and his humans. Found Fireweed by accident and are so glad we stopped!

A super charming spot with a lovely crew! I remember the old days when the only place to get a cup of coffee in Rico was the lobby of a lonely little hotel; I wish that this had existed when I used to go on bike rides to Rico from Telluride.

I don’t pass through Rico without stopping at Fireweed. There’s nothing quite like it.
