Fireweed Cafe & Mercantile — Restaurant in Rico

What a gem of a place to stumble upon. Really great, homey, down to earth, and all around good vibe. Natural tones and colors with a rustic feel, and with cute furry four legged friends. You can feel the love, care and intention the owners put into the place. Their menu is extensive, filled with wholesome, healthy elixirs and delicious balanced food. The paper (instead of plastic) coffee lids really stuck out to me as it’s not that common to see, and I also loved their sustainable bamboo straws they use. I ordered their Road to Hana smoothie which was phenomenal. I also tried their kale, celery, ginger, apple, lemon juice… wow so refreshing and detoxifying. Embarrassingly, I knocked down and shattered a mason jar vase from one of the tables, and the owner was super chill about it. I highly recommend this spot. Thank you again for all that you offer to...

Also the merch and art and produce are great! I’ve spent a lot of money here! I love it! However, my only gripe is that the hours aren’t consistent with the ones posted online. It’s a gamble. I will always make the 45 minute drive for this place. I love supporting local businesses in the area, and the staff there are good people. But it’s a bummer driving that far and showing up to a closed shop on days they are posting as open. Regardless, I will continue supporting this place when our schedules...

Fireweed Café is pure magic. Their Forest Mushroom Latte is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted—creamy, earthy, and absolutely divine. Pair it with their Ham and White Cheddar Panini with Dijon Mustard, which is made with the freshest organic ingredients, and you have an unforgettable meal. The quality and love that goes into every bite is unmatched.

The atmosphere is everything I dream of in a locally owned coffee shop—apothecary vibes with a cozy, intentional energy that feels like home. You can tell this place was created with heart and soul. If you’re passing through Rico or looking for a unique café experience, don’t miss...
