On the way to Vail for a weekend get away, with snow and injurious traffic, we decided to respite with breakfast. Bread and Salt was perfect with minimal divergence. I loved the charming exterior, very inviting. The hostess was polite and sat us at a window table. Our waitress was also very pleasing and sweet. Seeing a place with sparse tables due to COVID brought a despondent mood, which was quickly reprieved with the waitress' genuine smile and optimism.
The owner named this place Bread and Salt as these are ingredients found in almost all meals, and the fact that they bake their own country wheat home made bread at their sister restaurant called Bagalis. Bagalis is a bakery literally across the street, which turns into an Italian restaurant in the afternoon. I would highly recommend the bread over the English muffin. Although the muffins are locally sourced from Harvest Moon Balking Co. in Denver, you really need to savor this freshly baked bread.
The menu offered extensive choices for breakfast, but I craved the Spanish Chorizo Scramble. It was flavorful with onions, spicy chorizo, mushrooms and herbs. Of course I ordered their toast, a thick cut, perfect for making a scramble sandwich. The bread was amazing, so I asked for a second slice. The coffee was delicious, apparently the Conscious Coffee from Boulder. My wife ordered the Roasted Apples Challah French Toast with side order of crunchy thick bacon, which she loved. She was offered Maple Syrup and fake Maple Syrup, oddly enough; of course she chose the real deal. She also had a Mimosa that was stiff. The real maple syrup and additional toast were an extra charge and are disclosed on their menu under breakfast sides.
Awesome and charming place with great service and flavorful food.
