"Sabrina Rudin, whose dedication to 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. With a second location in New York City that’s just as buzzing, the staples on the mountain menu include a “summer gyro” piled with house-made, marinated tempeh, chickpea tuna melt, sweet potato white bean burger, and “Blanca’s Sandwich” made to order with tofu, tomato, onion, jalapeño, Daiya mozzarella, thousand island sauce, and avocado on a millet flax bagel." - Katie Shapiro
"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." - 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
