Excellent salad bar and sandwiches. A little busy at times but you can usually find a spot to camp out for a bit. Least expensive coffee in the area. The chicken salad sandwich is

A modern farm to table cafe at the roof top of Aspen Art museum. The sitting area is spacious and modern. They use fresh and high quality ingredients. The views overlooking the surrounding mountains is gorgeous. The prices are not cheap but that is the norm in Aspen

Low key EXCELLENCE on top of the Aspen Art Museum with great views of the slopes. Prob had one of the top dishes of the year from their farm to table veg menu. THE CARROTS WOWOWOOW! Thanks for the recommendation from the attentive staff who treated our larger group with grace. The avocado toast and lox toast were deluxe and worth the price for the level of presentation and freshness. Bravo all around!

I had a wonderful Reuben pastrami sandwich here. Plus, I ate almost all of my daughter’s fruit yogurt cup with honey. What a terrific rooftop spot in Aspen. With amazing views of the mountain. And artwork. Chill atmosphere. Not crowded. Clean. Nice bathrooms.

While waiting for our Maroon Bells reservation we took in the Aspen Art Museum. Since it was off season they only had one exhibit but it was well worth the time as it was also free. Once we completed the exhibit we went up to the rooftop eating area of which was closing but the porch/deck facing the ski area was open. For the next two hours we sat and took in the beautiful scenery and discussed how busy this place must be in season. If you go to Aspen to ski I highly recommend this spot as I hear the food is excellent and the view is to die for.

We love the rooftop at the Aspen Art Museum. It is THE hangout spot for so many activities in central Aspen. Swedish Hill is a wonderful addition, providing a great place to work and socialize in a welcoming environment. The food at Swedish Hill is so tasty and amazing, they have a wonderful selection. We love doing happy hour up here in the summer, we also have attended Art Crush sponsored by Prada, as well as great speaking panels. The views are immaculate, they also host apres ski parties here in the winter. It's one of my favorite spots in the entire roaring fork valley, not to mention the architecture of the space is insanely cool. I come here with clients and friends all the time. 10/10 recommend

We love Swedish Hill restaurants in Austin, so we knew we had to try it out in Aspen, and it does not disappoint. The breakfast sandwich on a croissant is unreal, and the coffee is impeccable. One day, we tried the pistachio croissant, and it was absolutely delicious. The vibe is fantastic, and the food is top-notch. Highly recommend visiting Swedish Hill in the Aspen Art Gallery for an unforgettable breakfast experience. Loved the vibe, loved the food!
