Spring Cafe

"When you walk into Spring Cafe Aspen you’ll be hit with the sound of Vitamixes blasting fruits and vegetables for juice and smoothies as an athleisure-clad crowd waits at the counter. The vegetarian menu featuring plenty of vegan and gluten-free options is a rarity in the area, and great for those with dietary restrictions. We love warming up in the winter with the sweet potato gnocchi tossed with roasted vegetables, romesco sauce, and goat cheese, or the pad thai with marinated tofu and sesame sauce. photo credit: Craig Turpin" - Katie Shapiro

"Head to the vegan comfort food café and its bright, airy dining room for breakfast or lunch. The Superhero burrito is a must-order—especially for those looking for healthier, yet still filling, fare as they head out for a day on the slopes." - Elise Taylor

"Spring Cafe Aspen is a buzzy breakfast, brunch, and late lunch spot and is also the best (and only) vegan- and gluten-free-friendly option in town. You’re hit with the sound of Vitamixes blasting fruits and vegetables as soon as you walk in, and the line to order at the counter is basically an athleisure fashion show. We’ve recently been loving the comforting ginger tofu phở bowl and sweet potato gnocchi with roasted vegetables, romesco sauce, and goat cheese." - katie shapiro

"Sabrina Rudin, whose passion for the plant-based lifestyle is infectious, was ahead of her time in opening Spring Cafe Aspen in 2013. Since then, clean eaters have flocked to this sunny, social spot for juice, coffee, breakfast, and lunch. Highlights on the winter menu include pumpkin oatmeal with house-made nut mylk, sourdough French toast with caramelized bananas and cashew vanilla drizzle, stuffed roasted sweet potato with sauteed greens and cashew coconut cream, and a smoky tempeh gyro." - Katie Shapiro

"Thanks to an organic, plant-based menu boasting tons of gluten-free options, this hip cafe and juice bar quickly became one of Aspen’s favorite stops for a healthy breakfast or lunch."
