Riverside Cafe
1289 Lincoln Ave, Steamboat Springs, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a cozy library nook in Steamboat Springs, Riverside Cafe feels like a secret that locals have been keeping to themselves—a place where Sophie and Henry craft thoughtfully composed dishes like white bean miso and wild rice bowls alongside expertly brewed coffee and homemade chai blends that cater beautifully to dietary sensitivities. The vibe is genuinely unhurried, perfect for lingering over matcha tea or a leisurely breakfast, with the kind of attention to detail that shows in everything from freshly baked bread to specialty drinks that go far beyond the typical café fare.”

Their food is always excellent and I have my favorites, but today I tried something new and was blown away! The white bean miso and wild rice bowl was not your typical cafe treat. A balance of flavors and textures topped witg a delicious blueberry reduction was a culinary treat and made my day! Keep the creative dishes coming!
This café is such a gem! Sophie and Henry do an amazing job of creating healthy, delicious food in this cozy little nook of the library. A perfect place to grab coffee or lunch and get some computer work done, dive into a good read, or visit with a friend. The atmosphere is inviting and the treats satisfying. I highly recommend the cinnamon roll and Persian love cake for treats and the veggie sandwich if you're looking for something savory. I can't recommend this place enough - if you're in Steamboat definitely drop on by!
Looking for a quiet place to unwind and indulge in vegan heaven? Look no further! This is the CUTEST and best hidden cafe gem that Steamboat Springs has to offer! Their drip is one of a kind, brewed with love and beans roasted SeedHouse (another awesome LOCAL business). The pastries? Vegan heaven. Be sure to stop in and say hey to the owners - Henry and Sophie. They are super cool and friendly. Whether you are a local or visitor, they make your visit at the Riverside Cafe feel like you are family and friend. Not only are they hospitable, but they are a HOOT. Sophie always makes me laugh and Henry calms my chaotic nature with some neutral paced words of wisdom. I cannot recommend this place enough! SO much love for this cafe and the vibrant people who are a part of it.
Wow!! Fresh, homemade, delicious and nutritious "artful food". And, if you have food sensitivities, this your place. I rarely eat out as I usually feel crappy afterwards. Their food actually energized me so i could go hiking and get the most out of my day instead of having a "food coma" and wanting to nap. The bread, fritattas, turkey pesto sandwiches, Avocado Toast, everything was so delicious and satisfying. Generous portion sizes, very reasonably priced. I love how they are dedicated to making things from scratch. Henry's sourdough bread is the only bread I can eat that doesn't leave me feeling painfully bloated (heard other customers saying the same). Generally I avoid sweets due to sugar crashes and stomach upset. Hearing customers raving about the fudge and energy bombs, I had to try. They're scrumdiddleiscious and made me feel soo good with ZERO sugar crash. You know a place is good when the locals go there and each time I visited there were plenty! Thank you for making my trip a delicious and nutritious one!
This place is a charming locals spot that brings real flavor to the library. The food and beverages are lovingly crafted, down to the homemade fresh bread and chai blend. There are plenty of delicious options from baked goods to sandwiches and smoothies and homemade soups. A sneaky favorite is the superfood fudge. It is so rich and delicious. I definitely recommend a stop in for a healthy snack or lunch (plenty of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options too) and some chit chat.
