What the staff says: “We make everything from scratch. We adjust according to peoples’ taste … The baristas up front try and make it an experience for people instead of just a place to come and eat and leave.

What the owner says: “We’re small and family owned. My daughters and I are the ones who do all the cooking. We like to be creative, different and delicious. We’re the ones back there in front of the stove. It’s hard work, but that’s how we keep up the consistency and quality.” — Sheri Finn, co-owner

Address: 25597 Conifer Road, No. 105, Conifer

What the owner says: “In this business you’re about as good as your last weekend. We’re very engaged in our employees and our customers. We have a low turnover rate in terms of our staff. We have a regular following of people up here, but people hiking and driving in the mountains stop by too. We use really good ingredients — the best bacon you can buy and Jimmy Dean sausage. We focus on every plate. Portion sizes are big, and it comes out fast. We have a pretty large menu. We serve breakfast from 8 (a.m.) to 2 (p.m.) and we don’t cut it off. Some people want pancakes at 1:30 in the afternoon after hiking, and we can do that … If you want your coffee to go, we’ll freshen it up and pack it to go.” — Denis White, owner
