Brunch and coffee

Local upscale artisan coffee and backery cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating very relaxing even with Covid 19 restrictions. Pastries are holiday cater worthy but don’t pass them up on the everyday. Also serves wine and cocktails in the evening with Charcuterie board. A true gem!

Eclectic eatery with tasty entrees and a rotating local Colorado brews menu. We’ve never ordered food here we didn’t like. Beers also tend to have higher alcohol content so if you want to enjoy a light buzz without lots of pints to down this is your spot!

A bit of a drive but a great repurposed eatery redesigned from an retired elementary school. Beers, coffee and cafe a memorable setting. Don’t spent too much time in the “Principal’s Office” ;)

Favorite eats for lunch and dinner

Our favorite (mostly) local restaurants with tasty options for lunch and/or dinner
Create a memorable experience with your family or colleagues by ordering the $35 “make your own rice wrap” platter. Enough grilled shrimp, marinated beef, and chicken to feed four hungry adults and then some. Caution: smacking her fingers highly likely!

Can’t go wrong with anything you order here. Personal favorite is the Thai salad, drunken noodles, Royal chicken and sesame chicken . Service is a little less consistent since Covid but food is tasty. Jury still out on best Thai food in town . . .

Sightseeing and Hiking

A unique zoo built on the side of Cheyenne Mountain with views overlooking the city. Feed giraffes from your own hands, check out the the new hippo and penguin exhibit and of course the lions, tigers and bears—oh my! If you are looking to save some dollars, visit during the weekdays rather than the weekend.
