Wife & I went to Joe's last night at 9:40. The door was open with a handful of customers standing around waiting for their food/ ice cream. The manager told us "we're closed". When my wife asked if if was 10 pm yet, the manager replied, "you know what, please don't argue with me!" At this point, we had no... More

I have been to Joe's many times over the last few years, but yesterday was the first time I have stopped for breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros burritto, it was awesome. Joe's is always a good choice, fast freindly service + a good value, makes Joe's unusual for Vail!. I didn't have any ice cream this time as it... More

Joe's is easy to miss if you don't look for it, but if you're in the mood for homemade ice cream or if you just want to support a longstanding local business you should definitely go looking for Joe's. The deli/ice cream shop offers an interesting array of flavors and each scoop is served with a hefty dollop of local... More

Tasty subs or wraps made to order and toasted in a panini grill are very tasty. Many unusual ice creams such as salty caramel!

Joe's has been around forever, and there's a good reason for that...they're great at what they do. Stop in for a Latte or Hot Chocolate and add a breakfast sandwich or muffin to fuel your skier-legs. Downstairs in a cellar right in the Village...keep your eyes open or you'll miss one of Vail's real treats!

We needed some late evening food, and stopped in for sandwhiches. The staff was extremely friendly and didn't rush us, despite it being close to closing. They made great recommendations for what bread to go with our sandwhiches. I loved my Turkey Day (turkey, cranberry sauce, and mushroom stuffing). The value is great, for being in the middle of Vail.... More

Stopped in after a day on the slopes and was pleasantly surprised with our sandwiches. My wife had a chicken sandwhich that was awesome. I had a Reuben which was also very good but I'm still not sure if it was made with ham or corned beef... I was very hungry so I didn't inquire.

This is not a high class establishment, but it's perfect when you're starving and want very tasty, hot delicious sandwiches or home made ice cream. Bagels, wraps, hot panini's are all excellent. Tip, get the whole sandwich, you'll love how it tastes and you're about to burn calories in the mountains anyway. Basement location, kind of college feel, this is... More

For a change of pace, visiting this Deli will give you great sandwiches at reasonable prices. Try the Wild Turkey or Roast Beef, both were excellent.
