Crema's Take
“This French-inspired café leans hard on pastries and crepes, which is admirable in Vail, but the execution is genuinely inconsistent—croissants come dry and stale, breakfast plates arrive underseasoned or sloppy, and even fans acknowledge the prices don't match the quality you're getting. The chai lattes and specialty drinks earn genuine praise, and the staff is friendly, but reviews from repeat customers suggest the place has declined noticeably over time. If you're craving a coffee-and-pastry stop, the drinks might be worth a try, but don't bank on the food being worth the premium pricing.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Honest Review : First - Love that this is a small business trying to make it work in the midst of giant Vail owned restaurants. Second - I had been a rush customer ordering only coffee and croissant and had found the croissants to be not that great. However, last week I went in…
Okay, a bit disorganized or maybe they were just busy. Staff were pleasant enough, although rushed. 16oz coffee was $6.50 not too bad IMO but definitely expected more. Also they don’t have lids. The food being served looked tasty enough and they were packed so that’s usually a…
