I recently discovered Mandolin Cafe at 210 East 4th Street in Loveland, Colorado. This relatively new addition to downtown, is a funky coffee shop with a musical soul.
Last Thursday evening, Stoll Vaughan, a singer/songwriter and stellar guitarist played a free show at Mandolin Cafe. Vaughan had approached owner Alex Zoll about playing at the coffee shop after Vaughan opened for The Elders at The Rialto Theater in Loveland, back in January.
Vaughan, equipped with a mic, speaker, harmonica and a couple guitars, played songs off his “Love Like a Mule” and “The Weatherman” CDs, as well as a few other tunes. He also spent time chatting with the audience.
Mandolin Cafe is a great venue for true music lovers because it’s an intimate setting – the audience really feels the music and the musician is able to interact with the audience.
The cafe also has a wide variety of coffee, smoothies and shakes, as well as breakfast items, sandwiches, salads and even a kids menu. Our table ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini ($5.99) and Italian Panini ($5.99). Both were delicious.
We will definitely be back to Mandolin Cafe – for the music and the food.

Thanks so much for picking up his C.D. for us.
We are enjoying it immensely! Wish he’d do a tour of the North West. He would fit right in at the Troubadour in Corvallis. Thanks again.
