Lotus Up Espresso & Deli

So we were out walking this morning and decided to stop by Lotus Up and have a drink. My partner had a berry smoothie and I had a breve. Both drinks were very tasty and served quick. If you want a really good espresso drink, they still use a real machine! No super autos here! The coffee has a nice flavor, so go and enjoy! They have a cool view of the mine from the outside deck too.

This charming cafe is staffed by the nicest, most helpful people. I have a gluten issue and they really worked hard to come up with a meal I could enjoy. The egg, bacon and cheese panini on gluten free bread was absolutely delicious. The cafe is sunny and bright with beautiful murals and views of the mountains. I would return here in a minute.

i am new in town and was looking for a bite to eat on my way from the lead dog park on tuesday. i notice lotus up on my way and remembered the internet said they were dog friendly and stopped in. As i walked in, the lady behind the counter scouled "no dogs allowed and were closed", i was a bit taken back at her rude tone. i apologized, saying im new to town and i thought internet said lotus up was dog friendly. she replied, you can only have dogs on the patio and we're closed! im guessing maybe you walk around the building to access the patio? i didnt notice i was 2:15 and they closed at 2:00, so i was definately past closing time but on my way out, the open sign was still on and the door was open. Lotus up must have a booming local lead cliche and no need to be nice to new customers; i guess no mud no lotus.

The most amazing and delicious gluten free bagels. Great service, nice coffee, great view and easy take out. This coffee shop is a must stop while visiting Lead or passing by. Make sure to take your time and tip well!!!

This little shop was incredible! I stopped in here on a road trip and wished I lived close to here because I’d be here everyday. Our bagels we got were homemade and were the perfect consistency. We got the chai tea and coffee as well which were both delicious. The shop had very chill vibes and there were all sorts of nooks that would be great to do some reading. This is a must stop at shop!

Great food and coffee. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere as well.

Excelent level of service! Just wonderful! From Germany (an exchange student) to Minnesota (God’s country, Land of 10,000 lakes) to Lithuania (a first generation, American) - Amazing!

Best iced vanilla chai I’ve ever had.

Friendly service, beautiful view, and even phone chargers available to use while you sip or snack. Will definitely be back.

The coffee’s are delicious and I love the building and the location! Employees have a great attitudes and are very welcoming!

Great place to start your morning. Great tasting coffee and a hot breakfast sandwich over looking the open pit mine. The staff was welcoming and did an excellent job!
