Although this is called a deli, I like to drop by there for breakfast and enjoy the quality food that is prepared fresh and the coffee is great. If you make it there for lunch then you might want to sit outside and enjoy the full view of the peak.

This is one of the oldest establishments in Teller County. The donuts are good and the coffee is good but I hear the biscuits and gravy are amazing, especially the spicy version. While there check out the history on the walls and select a seat with a view of the Peak.

Our neighboring mountain town of Cripple Creek is home to one of the best small town live theater presentations. Usually referred to as melodramas, the cast is very professional and talented and the story line is usually a local happening of the past and the audience participation is great fun. Be sure to head to the show before dark to experience the breath taking views and scope out the historic town that now houses casinos and some pretty great restaurants.
