Cafe Dawn - Salida

All I'll say is chocolate strawberry cake! Great coffee, fast service, fresh bakery... Update: The guy behind the counter seems to be a straw, not necessarily only towards tourists and another review states

Great coffee and espresso drinks, bagel sandwich was okay- better after adding some hot sauce!

Please please please take some time to stop here for your breakfast while in Salida. You'll immediately notice the locals vibe and enjoy a very fresh espresso drink with your bagel sandwich of choice! (Bagels made in house as well!

What a cool little place up in the mountains of colorado. The drink and food quality is very high and the staff are very knowledgeable.

Fantastic restaurant! The staff is incredibly friendly, and there are both indoor and outdoor seating options for relaxing. It has a prime location in downtown, serving excellent coffee and an amazing breakfast sandwich. I’m definitely returning. However, the entire city is quite pricey, feeling like a total tourist trap. It's an interesting city with some quirky shops!
