Fireweed Cafe & Mercantile

"This place had all the feels. Finished up a nice morning of backcountry skiing up at Lizard Head Pass and was hankering for some good food and coffee. Glad I made the stop in Rico at Fireweed. I’ll be back!"

"A must stop on your ride from Telluride to Delores. Comfortable cafe and mercantile that offers organic light meals, outstanding coffee, friendly service, and a variety of natural products. Cozy seating indoors, and a puppy parking is available for your best friend and his humans. Found Fireweed by accident and are so glad we stopped!"

"Rico Colorado's one and only Fireweed Cafe ! Locally owned and operated and staffed by charming locals with an excellent knowledge of the area. Charismatic old time feeling location with state-of-the-art delicious healthy foods. I highly recommend the turkey frittata although it will most likely be sold out if you get there after 9:00 I also had a very nice salad the next day and purchased a bag of dried mangoes that was the best I've ever had! Puppy Parking outside by the side deck with tables. Not to be missed."

"What a wonderful cafe that we stumbled upon. The Forest Floor is the most incredible drink I have tasted. It was so good, that I made my boyfriend drive out of the way the following day to go back and get. Great vibes, great attention to detail by owners who so evidently are committed to their business. A must stop!"

"This little coffee shop and mercantile reminded me of a place my grandfather took me out on the dry side of Colorado when I was a kid. This little mercantile is truly a grocery store a great place to pick up odds and ends and has a nice selection of coffee drinks. I'm definitely not a vegan customer but they're vegan menu was even appealing. Be careful and be warned the chai is excellent but they do put cayenne pepper in it!"
