Octopus Coffee - Crested Butte

We were not surprised to see First Ascent Coffee Shop and Bakery. Your bread was so delicious! But not disappointed by what it did. They also offer a small selection of pastries that looked delicious. The espresso they used for my latte was a smokey dark roast, not my first choice, though not bad. The milk was perfectly damped. I saw some drinks with some delicious looking whipped cream, and I'm not even a whipped cream fan. So just say it looked legit. You have personalized cups that are just sweet. The room was quite similar to a new wall to hide the roaster and new color. Many seating and all types of seating when you are a picky-sitter. My Hubby and I would come back, but I could ask a lighter roast because dark roasts are not my preference.

Excellent coffee; great food. Relaxed, casual environment. A breakfast sandwich, oat flakes and fruit pastries were all delicious. They have breakfast burritos, breakfast packages, lunch paninis and sandwiches. Will definitely come back!

Trying the Cuban #Breve and the Sausage Breakfast Wrap and my goodness were both wonderful. The Breve was the best I ever had and the pack was sturdy in taste. My wife had a blueberry pastry that was crispy, tasteful and amazing. Look at it! Thank you.

On a recent trip to Crested Butte we were disappointed to see that the Mountain Oven/First Ascent Bakery/Coffee Shop (the previous incarnation of this place! had gone out of business. But we were pleasantly surprised by the new Octopus Coffee! The coffee was *so good* (with homemade whipped cream after a cold day out! and their baked goods are really excellent. We expected imitation Starbuck's baked stuff, but their pastries were amazing. We went there three times in three days and will definitely return!

Great little local coffee shop with awesome breakfast. Lots of seating upstairs.
