This is the best breakfast I have had in Steamboat! But it’s very busy so either get there early or be prepared to wait especially during ski season but it’s worth it. It’s a very small place so keep that in mind if you have a large party.

A little of this, a little of that. These are fun places to stop into and end up taking a little bit of Steamboat home with you. Primarily local places with friendly staff.
I love this store! I try to go every time I'm in SB, it has Steamboat & mountain-themed shirts/tanks/onesies/dish towels/art and more. It is a great place to buy souvenirs that don't look like souvenirs.

Maybe Annie's is not so secret but it is worth pointing out. One of the most eclectic consignment shops I have been too with great quality stuff and always something new. I try to go every time I am in town because you never know what you will find. I have purchased quite a few items for our condo there. A big plus is Annie is a gem to talk to and so welcoming!
