Chillier weather has arrived in Estes Park, and the snow is starting to fall! Before you take on our mountain town for a winter adventure, warming up with a tasty snack and some delicious hot coffee is always a good idea to start the day. Get bundled up and get to experience the locally-owned Estes Park coffee shops!

Bird’s Nest

Our amazing neighbors at Bird & Jim have expanded! Bird’s Nest provides Estes Park with artisan baked goods, pizza, and coffee. Their coffee menu ranges from classic espresso, americanos, and lattes. Specialty lattes are also available as well like the Tree-Line, a delicious mocha with caramel and hazelnut!

Munchin House

Munchin House has satisfied Estes Park’s sweet tooth for over 50 years! Not only do they serve up delectable desserts like organic ice cream, but they host a full espresso and coffee bar! They craft a variety of lattes, freshly brewed coffee, and even espresso shakes made with their ice cream.

Mile High Coffee House

Enjoy a riverside breakfast with a stop at Mile High Coffee House! This café crafts specialty lattes, breakfast burritos, pastries, and freshly brewed coffee. We love coming here in the morning to watch the sun rise over the Big Thompson River and sip on a hot chocolate.

Notchtop Bakery & Café

Notchtop Bakery & Café utilizes local and organically grown ingredients for their delicious coffee and food! This café is perfect for unwinding after a morning hike with fresh coffee and breakfast. Their peppermint mocha is the ultimate wintertime drink!

Coffee on the Rocks

Specializing in great coffee and beautiful scenery, Coffee on the Rocks serves up delicious coffee and bites. Sit out by their duck pond and enjoy an all-day breakfast with a hot latte or even a specialty cocktail during happy hour. Nothing beats a delicious meal with a gorgeous view of Prospect Mountain!
