Bella La Crema, Bistro, Butter Market

We stopped here on our way into Estes. The butter is amazing. We tried paprika and put it on anything!

Bella La Crema is a destination for brunch or lunch. It's as close to Lyons France as one can get if you are in the Colorado Rockies. There's lots more than bread butter to look forward to but if that is all you end up with, you will be very satisfied.

The butters, soup and service were excellent! The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because there was no visibility to any prices, so we didn't know what we were paying for.

The hubs and I finally made it here after a local hike. We were really glad to see they were open. The hubs ordered the Italian sandwich and said it was among the best sandwiches he's ever had. Initially I wasn't going to order because I can't handle onions all that well. But after the hubs raved about his sandwich, I decided to order the chicken salad sandwich, pick out onions and plan a date with some allergy medication. It was well worth it. The bread was perfectly crispy yet soft and the chicken salad was delicious. We also got two butters to go. The saffron butter and a Mexican inspired butter that has cumin and pepper notes. The cumin butter is soooo good and we are sure the saffron butter will be too!

I was thrilled to discover this place with my cousin—it felt like a dream come true. Sweet and savory butters served with warm, fresh bread? That's my idea of perfection, and honestly, I wish I were there right now. They offer a variety of butter flavors, alongside options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. The interior is stunning, giving off a vibe reminiscent of the French countryside. The artwork on the walls is beautiful, making it a joy to gaze at the menu as you deliberate over all the butter choices. The owner was incredibly kind and eager to share information about the different butters while we made our selections. My favorites were the Rosemary Sage, French Countryside, and Song of India; they were bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to return, and I HIGHLY recommend making the trip—it's truly worth it.
