Yet another coffee-and-breakfast-burrito-grab-n-go HEAVY HITTER in Leadville! You just can't strike out in this town! This place has cozy ambiance, hot coffee, and flavorful breakfast bites. A great way to start a day in the mountains. The wait times can get a little long but...you have a cozy-ass place to wait so it's not the end of the world. read more

This place was a DOPE find in Leadville. It's right on the Main Street and open early (7a) so I dropped by on my way out of the town. I had a pistachio lavender latte (added both syrups to a regular latte), as well as a spinach ricotta pastry (fresh out of the oven when I came around 7:30a). Both the drink and pastry were AMAZING, and the staff was so helpful and the place was a whole vibe! They have hanging bench chairs and regular chairs, and a little "take one leave one" mini library. There are a couple bathrooms, both clean. Def would rec coming here for coffee if in Leadville, I would totally go back! read more

Went here for both coffee/ breakfast and afternoon cocktails. Their coffee and breakfast were great. I had the breakfast sandwich which I'd recommend. They're made to order and you can choose all toppings. It did take a while to make, but we noticed you can order ahead online which is a great option. The cocktails were also great. They had Guinness on tap which my husband was excited about. The inside is super cute! They have a couple outdoor tables which are dog friendly. read more

This is a really cozy bar in Leadville. It was a great bar to chat in, and I loved their swing chair. I got the High Five cocktail, which has gin, Aperol, and grapefruit. I was looking for a sweet cocktail, and it was pretty good. Not that sweet really, but not too bitter. They had some card games to play. read more

I stopped in twice during my weekend in Leadville. Once in the evening for a cocktail and once early in the morning to grab a coffee as I headed out on my adventures. Definitely two different scenes. The evening vibe was a loud, very crowded cocktail bar. However, there was an event going on, as well as a downtown Christmas parade happening outside so my impression may not be an accurate representation of a typical evening at Before & After. After a long drive to Leadville,I opted for their espresso martini. It was okay. But, they let me drink it on the patio so I could watch the parade. Bonus points for that! When I stopped by in the morning it was much more quiet. For coffee, I could not decide between the oatmeal cookie latte and the baklava latte. I ultimately chose the latter with the help of the barista. Great choice! Very tasty! The interior is quite cozy with lots of seating options. Seems like a good place to hang out whether it's for a coffee during the day or a cozy cocktail at night. read more

Our group of 4 came in for drinks before our dinner across the street. I ended up with the Sage Bee's Knees, and my husband got the non-alcoholic blueberry lavender mule and added gin. Both were very tasty and affordable! We had been to this cafe in the past to get coffee (the "before") and think it's so fun that they change it into a cocktail bar by night (the "after"). The vibes were great - lots of people in for drinks and just hanging out. We snagged a great table with a hanging swing which was super fun. For the drink itself - I haven't had many drinks with sage but it wasn't overpowering and rather delicious! Would love to try some of the bar food in the future. read more

We stopped into Before and After, having been to a few places earlier in the night. We stayed until closing time, if that tells ya anything, lol. Such a cute place, amazing cocktails and the bartender was phenomenal. Let's get into it! Pretty sure we tried to talk the bartender to coming to Denver - he was fantastic. These are craft cocktails and he often shared his vision with each drink we ordered, why he choose this or that ingredient and how he highlighted one flavor over another. It was so educational and fun to hear his thoughts and then taste the creation! And man, this place! It is so stinkin cute. I'm a fan of small touches and Before After has them in spades - in literally every corner. The swings immediately caught my eye as did the cozy corner in the front window with all the sticky notes on the walls. Got kiddos and stopping by on the "before side of the day," bring them in - there are games galore. Or maybe you're stopping by on the After side for a cocktail, no worries here either. The creativity with the seating areas blew me away. I literally wanted to sit in each space and experience it all, lol. There weren't many pics, so I added a few or so. Take a look and you'll see all the cuteness I'm talking about! Ok, back to the craft cocktails, the creativity and the staff. 8 out of 5 stars. Definitely stop in, if you're anywhere near Leadville. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Don't take just my review for it; there are so many here who are also singing their praises. There's always a reason for that! read more

As a mixture of a coffee bar and a bar, with good food to go along with either type of drink, we really enjoyed Before and After. It can be crowded because the space is not large, but we were able to find a place to sit and have our coffee and a light breakfast without any issues during Boom Days in Leadville. Will return the next time we're in Leadville read more

I loved my visit here. It's such a cozy spot to hang out on a cold day. It was around 0 degrees that day. We had some beers - my bf had a cider and I had a red ale. For $8, you can get a beer and a shot of well liquor. We asked to do our tequila shot on a shot ski! It was a nice time. read more

Amazing ambiance. Friendly service. Delicious latte! We enjoyed swinging in the swing chairs.

Bad kitchen pacing. we finished our food before everyone had theirs come out. staff doesn't seem to care as it is normal.

Good vibes! Really cute seating spaces. Delicious burrito and vanilla latte was super yummy!

really nice selection of coffee drinks and flavors. tried the baklava latte and it was so delicious. staff was nice and the vibe was cool and would be the perfect place to bring your laptop or book and chill. read more

I love Leadville coffeeshops! My group of 12 spontaneously checked out Before & After as we walked down the street. Plenty of space inside for us to hang out. Love the comfortable furniture and overall cabin vibes. The Honey & Lavender Latte I ordered was WAY too sweet, but next time I want to buy one of their whole pies. Clean restrooms and cute post-it wall of gratitude. Would come back again. Great location! read more

Very interesting and different place! We stopped a couple times for drinks and a snack and staff was extremely friendly. We stepped out of our normal food choices and ordered their Pad Thai. It was very good. If your in the area, stop in give it a try. read more

Good coffee, has a wine selection (didn't try) and chill vibe. The swings are my favorite along with my boy's.

Great spot for easy breakfast. Biscuits and gravy were top notch. Friendly staff. Dined in at the bar. Reasonable prices. Super fresh.

We visited late on a weekday morning. It was busy but there were several places to sit including comfy chairs and porch swings. The coffees and cinnamon roll we ordered were all great and service was friendly. This place is a comfortable hangout and a great place for a coffee. Their build-your-own sandwich menu looked great but we didn't try it yet. read more

Great atmosphere, very welcoming! Service was amazing. Good breakfast burritos and drinks.

We went to Before & After for the third time last night, and it just keeps getting better! Before & After is an annex to Treeline Kitchen. Unlike the much larger, full service restaurant Treeline, Before & After sophisticated/funky cocktail lounge with a relaxed, intimate, and grownup atmosphere. I have not (yet) encountered young'uns running around amid the tables like at some other Leadville restaurants (including Treeline, across the street). It is primarily a cocktail lounge and the clientele is there for excellent wine and other libations and the opportunity for good conversations. We have had wine in the past, but I had my favorite dry Martini last night and it was constructed very carefully and expertly: stirred, Plymouth gin, a swipe of vermouth, a twist, very cold. The bartender came to our table to ask me how it was! (It was great). I wish I had taken a photo of the Martini to share here. My husband had a cocktail with Cynar. I had never tasted Cynar (an artichoke liqueur) and the server brought me a small taste--so friendly and generous. Our two friends also were very happy with their cocktails. Small plates are available and have been excellent. There is a menu of flat breads that could be dinner. We live just a block away so the possibility of Before & After becoming a regular destination for us is great! read more
