Loaded Joe's - Vail Restaurants
242 E Meadow Dr, Vail, CO
Crema's Take
“This beloved Vail Village institution has earned its loyal following with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that keeps skiers and locals coming back day after day for six years running. The crew here strikes that sweet spot between efficiency and warmth—they greet you enthusiastically and move orders along quickly even when the place is bustling, while the expanded space (a significant upgrade from its former basement home) gives everyone room to breathe. Beyond solid traditional and specialty coffee drinks and cold brew, they anchor the experience with a full breakfast menu and pastries, making it the kind of place where you can refuel properly after a long day on the slopes or settle in for an unhurried sit.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

We come here every day we stay in the original Vail Village. This is for the last 6 years! Always nice atmosphere, relaxed, good breakfast too. Will be back
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…
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…
