This not a restaurant. This a coffee bar with bagels.

The staff were extremely friendly, greeting us enthusiastically as we walked in the door. This larger location is a great improvement from the small basement space I fondly recall from years back. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast, latte, and a smoothly while reading the local Sunday newspaper they provided. Tim, went out of his way to accommodate us. We didn’t like the ketchup on the burrito - too sweet for our taste preferences.

Love this coffee shop! Probably the best mocha I’ve had. Also, the staff was super friendly (and patient with our group) and the vibe perfect (amazing playlist too!). I’ll be back to try their sandwiches!

Extremely disappointing experience- would not recommend.

My partner, sister, and I visited Loaded Joe’s in Vail yesterday (10/17) around 5:55 PM, and I now completely understand why the reviews are so low. We went during non-peak season, so there was absolutely no excuse for how poor the experience was.

The blonde woman working was incredibly rude and unhelpful from the moment we walked in. We had to initiate conversation and ask about the “Best Happy Hour in Vail” which was advertised in the Vail Daily and the main reason I chose this spot to show my partner around for the first time. Her response was, “The best I can do is the summer Coors Banquet special for $3.50… maybe like a dollar or two off some beers. Nothing else.” That’s it? If that’s what they’re calling the best happy hour, that’s incredibly misleading.

Still, we ordered three Coors and I even tipped (I was a waitress for years and always try to show the utmost respect to service staff). We sat down to enjoy our drinks, and about 10-15 minutes later (at 6:10 PM) she came over and told us, “I need to sweep so I need to kick you out.” The place is supposed to close at 7 PM. When we mentioned we still had open beer cans, she said, “You can sit on the patio.” It was 38 degrees outside.

We ended up finishing our beers freezing on the patio, completely baffled. I’ve been coming to the Vail Valley for years, and I’ve never had such a rude or uncomfortable experience anywhere.

If you’re visiting Vail, go ANYWHERE else, even Benderz in Avon, where we always have a great time and friendly service. Loaded Joe’s completely missed the mark on hospitality and basic customer respect. Definitely will never be coming back and will certainly be telling all my friends who visit the area as well to stay clear. The poor reviews didn't lie!

I’m not sure if we visited during a particularly busy time, but this place seemed more like a stop-and-go. The coffee was good, the food wasn’t the greatest. The service was a bit rushed and unfriendly.

This place totally made my trip! Great coffee, great food, and such a cozy little vibe. Exactly what you want in a ski town café. Highly recommend stopping in!

I was very disappointed with Loaded Joe’s in Vail. Given the location, I expected a classy and welcoming coffee shop experience. Instead, the blonde barista behind the counter was blasting music at an uncomfortably high volume. I politely asked if she could turn it down since I had brought my elderly grandparents with me, but she refused and told me that loud music was the only way she stays awake.

This was incredibly disrespectful and made the visit unpleasant. Vail is known for quality and hospitality, but unfortunately this place did not live up to that standard. Would not recommend.

Grabbed an iced chai latte on break, it was refreshing. The barista was very friendly, even when guests came in for ice cream, which is next door, she'd point them in the right direction and tell them to enjoy their ice cream. This place can get packed quickly, but afternoon in the summer are quite pleasant.
