About

The Belle is the coffee counter and bakery at The Arrabelle at Vail Square, in the Gondola Building on Lionshead Place, and it bills itself as Lionshead's only gourmet grab-and-go. The coffee is a custom blend of locally roasted beans, and the bakery case holds pastries for breakfast.

It suits anyone heading for the Eagle Bahn Gondola who wants a latte and something to eat in hand, and families collecting breakfast on the way out. It is a counter rather than a place to linger, and it keeps short, seasonal hours.

What it serves

Espresso drinks built on its locally roasted blend, and a bakery case of pastries. The Belle is set up as a counter to order from and go.

When it is open

The Belle runs on a morning schedule: its own page announced daily hours of 7 to 11 a.m. when it reopened in late May after a seasonal break. Resort listings sometimes show longer hours, so call ahead in the afternoon or shoulder season. The FAQ has the details.

Where to find it

Look for the Gondola Building at 675 Lionshead Place, part of the Arrabelle in Lionshead Village, steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola.

At The Arrabelle

The Arrabelle at Vail Square is the Vail Resorts RockResort that houses The Belle, steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola.

Tavern on the Square is the Arrabelle's restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mountain-view patio, for a sit-down meal instead of a coffee to go.

The RockResorts Spa at The Arrabelle offers massages and treatments; call (970) 754-7754. It has no VailVacay listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hours of The Belle in Vail?
Mornings only. The Town of Vail's Fall 2026 guide lists The Belle open Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and Friday to Sunday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. One conflict to know about: its Google profile, and the hours previously shown on this page, mark it closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which the Town guide does not. Until the operator settles the two records, call (970) 754-7745 before a Tuesday or Wednesday visit, and before any shoulder-season visit. It is never an evening venue: no current source has it open past 1 p.m.
Where is The Belle, and do I need a lift ticket or to be a hotel guest?
In the Gondola Building at The Arrabelle at Vail Square, 675 Lionshead Place, in Lionshead Village, steps from the base of the Eagle Bahn Gondola. It is a village-level counter, not an on-mountain one: you reach it on foot in pedestrian Lionshead, and **no lift ticket or scenic foot-pass is needed**. It is also open to everyone, not just Arrabelle guests. You would only need a gondola ticket if you chose to ride up the mountain afterwards. Lionshead is served by Vail's free in-town bus, and the Arrabelle offers valet parking for a fee.
What is on the menu at The Belle?
Coffee first: espresso drinks and drip coffee built on locally roasted custom blends, including the venue's own curated house roast, plus loose-leaf teas, iced espresso and teas, matcha drinks, and coffee slushies. To eat, order the items the venue itself singles out, the chorizo burrito and the breakfast sandwich, or a bagel sandwich, a breakfast burrito, or something from the savory and sweet pastry case. There is also a small retail shelf of roasted beans, superfood granola, macarons and craft chocolates. The Belle publishes no printed menu or price list, so the case on the day is the menu; expect coffee-counter prices (Google bands the venue at $1 to $20).
Is The Belle open year-round?
It stays open through the fall off-season on its morning schedule (the Town of Vail's Fall 2026 guide lists no closure for it), but it does close in spring between the winter and summer seasons. In spring 2026 the Town list shows two closure windows, March 28 to April 13 and April 19 to May 19, with daily 7 to 11 a.m. hours when open. Spring dates move every year, so check the Town guide or call (970) 754-7745 before a spring visit rather than relying on last year's windows.
What do reviews say about The Belle?
Mixed, and polarized. As of October 2026, Google rates The Belle 3.6 out of 5 from 76 reviews, and Restaurantji's 82 ratings split 55% five-star against 26% one-star. Guests praise the pastry case above all (the croissants, a chocolate croissant, and the apple strudel are named), the spot right off the slopes by the gondola, quick service and friendly staff. The criticisms recur too: some find the coffee weaker than they want, one recent reviewer called the matcha artificial, and the tiny space gets crowded at the morning peak. Go for the pastries and the location; it is a counter, not a café to linger in.
Can I sit down at The Belle?
Mostly it is grab-and-go, and that is how the venue describes itself. There is a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating, but the space is tiny and it fills at the morning rush, so plan to take your coffee and pastry with you. For a sit-down breakfast in the same building, Tavern on the Square at The Arrabelle serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mountain-view patio.
Does The Belle serve beer or wine?
Yes, as a daytime counter offer. The venue's own description offers a glass of wine or a pint of craft draft beer alongside its coffee and retail shelf, and Discover Vail describes a curated selection of beer, wine and cocktails later in the day. Keep the scale in mind, though: The Belle closes at 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. depending on the day, so this is a beer or wine with a late-morning bite in Lionshead, not an après-ski bar, and it is not open in the evening.
How much does breakfast at The Belle cost?
There is no published price list (The Belle has no printed menu), so no item price can be quoted honestly. Google's panel bands the venue at $1 to $20, which fits a coffee, a pastry and a breakfast burrito at a walk-up counter; ignore the "expensive" price label one directory attaches to it, which reflects the luxury hotel it sits in rather than the bill at the counter. Reviewers are split on value, with several calling the pricing good for Vail and the one-star reviews disagreeing.
