Blue Water Bakery

This place has great coffee and croissants. The Brown Bear Latte is a must try!

Staff barely understands English and can’t answer questions about the menu. Some Europeans in front of us had to three times explain they ordered a brownie and not a blondie. They all appear to be Romanians here on work visas who started working here a couple of weeks ago. My son wanted a cold cheese sandwich so we ordered him a sandwich from the kids menu and they served him bread with shredded cheese on it. Handed my wife a cup for her iced tea and after she couldn’t find a dispenser for it they were confused when we asked for the $4 tea we paid for. If you choose to dine here set your expectations appropriately. Whatever happened to local high school kids working the summers at places like this?

Nice people, great breakfast and coffee spot centrally located in Grand Lake downtown. Try their southwestern section of the breakfast menu. The Cowpoke Burrito is amazing!

For starters, they were open. Thanks for that! Many of the local businesses were closed early Saturday morning. A few businesses were even permanently closed. The line was a bit long but the service cordial and the food was good. Clearly the staff was working hard to meet the demand of the day. Reasonable prices.
Great selection of baked goods.
Good coffee and my kids really enjoyed the hot choco.
Well done y’all!
And thanks!

amazing baked goods, expert bread baker = yummy baguettes, loafs & bagels.
I'd tell you the cinnamon rolls and chocolate croissants are the best, but I'd be worried you'd buy them before me! Skip the lunch sandwiches, they were not anything to write home about. Breakfast sandwiches smell so good. and baked goods are awesome! Yummy lattes. Sweetest staff ever! Thank you!

Got a vanilla/caramel latte was very good. There pastries looked delicious. I got a blueberry muffin, unfortunately the blueberries were not very tasty or tarte in my opinion. I still love the espresso though.

Breakfast croissant sandwiches were delicious! Coffee was great. Pastries were decent. I like that they open at 6am... gave is an early start to our hiking day at RMNP.

Soooooo good. Best coffee we had had in a while. Their croissants were delicious. Definitely recommend stopping in.

Horrible experience. Long line, which I don't mind, but when the kitchen staff is moving at a turtles pace, its pretty annoying. High prices, poor quality. Oatmeal with a side of cream and brown sugar-$5.50, muffin-$3.75. Oatmeal was tasteless, overcooked, and lumpy, worst oatmeal I've ever had. Muffin was sunken in the middle, dry, and disappointing. Table was dirty and it took asking 3 times before the girl would clean it, and then when she finally did, it was all attitude, slinging the wash rag around huffing and puffing. We will not return.

Save your money and go across the street to Sagebrush for breakfast. We paid $32 for at best, an average breakfast served on paper plates. The hot chocolate was horrible. The next day we had breakfast at Sagebrush, paid $23 for a huge serving of delicious food.
