Calabacitas breakfast burrito at VM Coffee.

Five Featured Locations

Es Que Market: Flavor-packed, made from farm-fresh ingredients and in a from-scratch kitchen. Chef Swan’s passion is local food. If you like a fried egg in your breakfast burrito, this is the place for you. If you’re a meat eater, we recommend the brisket!
VM Coffee: Offering two different burritos made in-house, we enjoyed the calabacitas burrito. Chef Torres is in the running for Edible’s Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown, and her other menu items are on the same level.
Lasso Coffee & Lager: Carrying a vegan and non-vegan breakfast burrito made by Lasso neighbor, ONI. ONI focuses on locally sourced ingredients and blending cultural flavors. Image below shows the egg breakfast burrito.
Burning Daylight Coffee: This is a breakfast burrito for two! Look for optional add-ons and a hand-held or smothered burrito. Offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with beer and wine just around the corner.
Little Bear Coffee:Serving up breakfast burritos made by downtown non-profit, Three Sister’s Kitchen (TSK). TSK is a place where delicious, affordable, and locally produced foods come together to nourish our community from the ground up. Look for vegan and non-vegan options.
