Just off the main drag in the sleepy mountain town of Crested Butte is a gem of a breakfast sandwich shop called Butte Bagels. It’s a small wooden building with that slightly hippy Colorado mountain vibe. I visited on a Sunday morning in January and despite it being 12 degrees Fahrenheit, there were people lined up outside. The whole menu was breakfast sandwiches (which is just incredible). I asked the girl behind the counter what her favorite was and that’s how I ended up deciding on the Scotty.

The Sandwich

Overall: 8/10

The Good

Overall, enjoyed the sandwich. As expected for a mountain town, the sausage was just spot on. They added latke to the sandwich which brought an awesome flavor and crunch without the overbearing potato flavor you find in say a hash brown. The bagel was solid too. All this together made for a nice balance in the sandwich.

The Bad

While the ingredients that were there were great, it was lacking in two key areas: cheese and moisture. Now, some of the other sandwiches on the menu had sauces on them so can’t speak about all of them but the glaring flaw was just how dry it was and I missed the melty gooeyness of the cheese.
