    WC3

    Next door to the famous tavern in ramshackle Woody Creek, this community center cum cafe is just as groovy but in a different way. Instead of drunken antics and mishmash wallpaper there's local art, a sweet front garden, plenty of indoor seating and healthy, soulful lunch fare.

    Choose one of four kinds of curry or tuck into a bowl of gumbo or a panini. The vegetarian soups have earned high praise, and the coffee is tasty too. Plus there's a range of used books for sale. Lots of them. Including a corner dedicated to the Good Doctor himself. We're talking about a terrific selection of Hunter S Thompson's masterworks, including some vintage Rolling Stone issues from the 1970…

    Casbah Café

    For indie-minded shopping, check out Silver Lake’s funky but fashionable Sunset Junction at the intersection of Santa Monica and Sunset Blvds. It’s a happily-not-hip little corner where sassy sundresses, one-of-a-kind kicks, local coffee, worldwide cheeses and low-key patio dining draw a laid-back neighborhood crowd. Worth a stop is the Casbah Café. The massive Sunset Junction Street Fair draws multi-cultural crowds for bands, food and community mingling in late August.

    Lucile's

    This New Orleans–style diner has perfected breakfast, and the Creole egg dishes (served over a bed of creamy spinach alongside cheesy grits or perfectly blackened trout) are the thing to order. Start with a steaming mug of chai or chicory coffee and an order of beignets. The powder-sugar-drenched French Cajun doughnuts are the house specialty.

    Lucile's operates in a few towns, including Fort Collins.

    Fuel

    This hard-rocking coffeehouse does two things exceptionally well: jet-fueled espresso and world-class breakfast burritos (it has three kinds – Californian, Mediterranean and southwest). It also has protein bars and energy food to keep you going on the slopes and ridgelines, no matter the season, as well as bagels, paninis, wraps and smoothies.

    Staff will pack lunches for the slopes if you ask nicely. It's located just off lot 6 in the lower (main) mall.

    Pikes Perk Coffee & Teahouse

    With a fantastic rooftop boasting unobstructed views of Colorado Springs' signature mountain, Pikes Perk is our all-time-favorite regional coffee shop. Read a magazine, write a novel or just a chat with friends in the cozy 2nd-floor lounge or on the rooftop deck when the weather's nice.

    Pike's Perk serves the usual range of espresso drinks, all excellent quality, as well as a range of pastries, bagels, breakfast burritos and other light meals.

    The Butcher & The Baker

    Two veterans of upscale local catering started this heartbreakingly cute cafe, and no one beats them for breakfast. The to-go sandwiches – a daily rotation that includes turkey and cranberry on crunchy multi-grain bread – are the best bet for a gourmet meal on the trail.

    It's the kind of place that represents the new, smart trends in simple, quality food: the ethos here is local, organic and perfect. We're simply head over heels.

    Big Bear Bistro

    Unless you hit the Sonnenalp Resort's buffet, this is where you come for breakfast. It serves gourmet coffee, tasty breakfast burritos and some damn decent sandwiches at lunch. We suggest 'the Masterpiece.' It comes with prosciutto, capicola, salami, maple-glazed ham, balsamic-tinged arugula, banana peppers and cracked-pepper aioli.

    Caffe Latte

    Full of students, seniors, old Harlem and new Harlem, Caffe Latte is fast becoming the place to meet and hang in the 'hood. Breakfasts feature deep rich coffee, omelettes, granola, pancakes and more – organic and some vegan options are offered too (and a lot of baked goods). Lunch and dinner lean toward Italian cuisine, with lots of pastas, raviolis and baked zitis, plus organic burgers.

    Adam's Mountain Cafe

    A groovy new age Colorado cafe with a slow food ethos. They do veggie burgers and burritos at lunch, orange-almond French toast and huevos rancheros at breakfast, and an eclectic dinner menu that ranges fom udon noodles to Senegalese veggies to Brazilian spiced barramundi. The interior is airy and attractive with marble floors and exposed rafters, and there's patio dining too.

    Snooze

    This bright, cheery cafe is a specialty breakfast-and-brunch spot dishing up eggs, breakfast burritos and even a smokin' salmon benedict. The coffee's always good, but you have the option of an early-morning bloody mary. Snooze has a strong sustainability focus, buying carbon offsets for its energy consumption, recycling and composting, and sourcing local organic produce.

    Loaded Joe's

    Come to this creekside coffee bar for breakfast. It serves croissants and bagel sandwiches as well as gourmet coffee and espresso drinks. You can sip and munch beneath the cedars as the creek wakes you up with its gentle hum. Oh, and they do cocktails too. Why not make it an Irish breakfast? You'll find it just off the covered bridge in Vail Village.

    Moe's Broadway Bagels

    Welcome to Boulder's pre-eminent bagel boiling and baking house – not that there's a lot of competition. You'll glimpse the trays of dough slide into the vat of briny water as you step up to the colorful menu that strays from bagels and bagel sandwiches to subs, breakfast burritos and pizza. But, listen, don't get fancy. It's the bagels. The bagels.

    Dish

    This simple and tasty market cafe turns out gourmet sandwiches piled with speck, pate and brie, slow cooked brisket, as well as artichokes, marinated eggplant, house roasted tomatoes and fresh mozzarella made in-house. They have some alluring salads too. Most of the goods are stacked in market cases or listed on the blackboard.

    Olde Tymers Café

    Voted as having the best burger in Durango by the local paper, the Olde Tymers is popular with the college crowd, especially during $5-burger nights. Well-priced American classics are served at cozy booths under pressed-tin ceilings in a big open dining room or on the patio outside. Ask about the cheap daily specials.

    Caffe Reggio

    An echo of old bohemia, this arty cafe is a visual treat of Renaissance paintings and marble-topped tables. Serving fresh pastries, panini, cakes, Italian milkshakes (try the 'delizioso') and delectable coffee since 1927, Reggio's says it invented the cappuccino. True or no, it's wildly popular, and busy all night.

    Breadworks

    A North Boulder mecca for fresh-made soups and fresh-baked breads. Salads are tossed before your eyes at the marble food bar where you'll also find pasta mains, gelato and banana bread. And really, who doesn't love banana bread? When does minimall and marble bar belong in the same sentence? When you land here.

    Half Fast Subs

    Deal with the line at lunch, or come for a happy hour that's 'guaranteed to kick your butt,' (the 32 oz Long Island Ice Tea suggests they're serious). The extensive sandwich board has tons of stuff for vegetarians, including baked tofu. Meat eaters should go for a gooey cheese steak.

    A busy, contemporary eatery in a historic building, Silver Nugget features a very large breakfast menu as well as deli-style sandwiches at lunch. Dinner offerings include deep-fried Rocky Mountain rainbow trout, and liver and onions.

    McGregor Cafe

    The location alone – tucked away in a residential area of high palm trees and bottle-green lawns – makes this cafe worth recommending. Then we tried the food. Amazing. Classic American fare, elegantly served.

    La Baguette

    A cute hole-in-the-wall cafe that bakes some of the best, if not the best, baguettes and croissants in the city - no small feat, given the altitude. They also do tasty, rustic soups and salads

    Bennett's Fresh Roast
