Beard & Braid — Restaurant in Colorado

My family and I used to be regulars here for over a year, and get all sorts of small drinks - coffee, lattes, and the other specialty coffees and their sandwiches/treats. The sandwiches are expensive, but tasty I had gone and gotten a large cinnamon toast latte ($1 more than a small making) and it tasted just MILKY SWEET. I asked the counter for more coffee in this, because I couldn't taste it at all. I was informed that they don't add more shots in the large, they just add either water or milk. So, not only do you get water downed drinks, but you're paying a lot extra for it.

I had gone today, and asked for a large chai ($1 more than a small), extra spicy, and without foam thinking that they would give me more of the chai, but I was wrong! I got the chai and it tasted VERY WEAK. I went out and bought a jug of this chai tea (64oz concentrate for $16) instead. I can't believe this and I have been informing everyone never to get a large coffee here, because you're just paying for extra milk or water. I know many of my friends had stopped coming here, before I told them about the large drinks, because it was too expensive. I'm very disappointed and it is such a sleazy...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! This shop may have a small sign… but it has huge personality. The flavor of the food and drinks, the atmosphere and music, the staff and the plants…It’s all amazing. This shop has the best vibes in Steamboat. The coffee is high quality and roasted to perfection. The baked goods and sandwiches are full of flavor and a killer bang for the buck. You’ll find unique drinks with people to match. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful… Ethan and Hannah are the BEST! Awesome artwork fills the walls. Plants anyone?!? Cool tables, benches and corner nooks make this little gem a favorite for locals and visitors alike. They even have outdoor seating with sweet views of the ski jump. Scones, muffins, sandwiches, lattes, tea, cold brew, lemonade…the list goes on. Be sure to check out this wonderful coffee shop/bakery while in Steamboat and you won’t be...
