I was worried about finding something for the kids, the cheese panini satisfied all my children. The size portions were perfect, more than what we expected. They didn’t have a quinoa salad after ordering but came out immediately and offered some other options which were also fantastic. The food was fresh and felt clean. We also ordered a caprese amor salad and it was delicious and fresh. My sandwich was a gem lake and it was so good, I didn’t think I would be able to eat both slices, however my children were happy to help. The atmosphere was very family friendly. I only changed the rating slightly on that because the music was a little loud, however, I know others who prefer that volume, and they give you the option to eat elsewhere. Be prepared to spend a little more, but the quality is worth it.

Pratikshya & Eric are stellar in terms of customer service. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food is here normally in these kind of environments tourist places in other words the food is generally so so I can highly recommend the Panini's and the iced coffees from my personal experience. And the bonus is, you have an awesome view of Rocky and Estes'

I tried the Big Foot’s Bacon and it was one of the tastiest paninis I’ve ever eaten! Love the view of the mountains from inside (especially when it started hailing!) and the servers + cashiers were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
