I enjoyed visiting this local coffeeshop in Grand Lake. I did the long drive from Lyons all the way here to Grand Lake via Trail Ridge Road early in the morning. When I arrived, I was craving a coffee drink. Jump Start was the first place that popped up on during my search when I arrived in Grand Lake. Even though there was a line out the door, I was willing to wait for my caffeine fix. Jump Start serves espresso drinks, smoothies, teas, muffins and pastries. The coffeeshop itself is very charming with all sorts of signs and decorations on the wall. There is also an area where you can purchase gifts and merchandise. I enjoyed walking around the store while waiting for my Iced Latte. My one complaint was that there was only one person taking orders and making the drinks. She was very sweet, but I waited a good half hour in line before ordering. Other than that, my drink was great and I enjoyed my time at this store. read more

The breakfast burritos were soupy. Tasted like they were filled with frozen hash browns and fake bacon. Which is not cool for a $10 burrito. Coffee was alright but super foamy and too hot. Which was expected since it's not craft coffee, but they're charging like it is. read more

Absolutely the best dry cappuccino I've ever had! Great service, lovely outdoor seating and my friend's latte was also perfection!

Looks like a great coffee shop, but Yelp led me to believe it serves BREAKFAST. I parked, walked, got there, and NO BREAKFAST.

~sweet hometown service, incredible custom made affagato, sweet coffee shop decor - fun signs and original gifts.~ 5/5 I walked in looking for affagato due to a serious craving. 'I can do that for you' my favorite thing to hear. The walls had fun witty signs. The espresso in my treat was hot and the ice cream came fresh from the ice cream shop next door. I enjoyed it so much I started browsing the shop. She had jams, syrups, hot sauces, salts - wow. I grabbed a few treats for back home... Highly recommend read more

yummy! lots of fun seasonal drink options and there are lots of fun trinkets to shop for inside! great service too

Visited 4 coffee shops on our visit to Colorado and this was the best by far. I didn't get anything fancy - just a red eye (coffee with a shot) but it was delicious. Nice, bold flavor. Friendly environment. Just plain good. read more

We visited Grand Lake in March 2023 and instantly loved visiting Jumpstart Coffee. The coffee is wonderful and so was the owner/staff. Every day we came in and were greeted with a smile and a desire to make your day better. Inside, there are a handful of places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with a delicious pastry. There are several unique gifts, clever signs, stained glass artwork you can enjoy reading and purchase if you'd like. Moses definitely recommends Jumpstart Coffee & Tea and will visiting again and again. read more

Jump Start - EXCELLENT FRIENDLY SERVICE - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

End of season so they must not actually have the menu that's listed online. Turnovers are about the only good option they have. Long-ish wait for a hot cocoa, bubble tea and a lukewarm microwaved cinnamon roll. The look of the bubble tea is off putting. read more

Was visiting here for a week to explore the Rocky Mountain National park. What a wonderful little coffee shop, it looks like the small town of Grand Lake is straight out of a Hallmark Holiday movie! The coffee was delicious & oh so good! YUM! read more

Overheard rave reviews about this quiche, and we were craving a latte so I headed over on a Saturday morning to check out Jump Start. Bustling at 8:30am with one woman slinging drinks and muffins left and right to the customers pouring in the door. Some small town coffee shops leave you disappointed when ordering a latte, but I was very impressed with my fancy "vanilla coconut milk latte" and "caramel mud almond milk latte". Delicious! And the quiche? Definitely worth the rave reviews. We also filled up with some tasty pastries. Alright so she makes a mean latte, but what about the coffee itself? Well don't worry, folks: we went back for more and ordered two black coffees for the road. The coffee was lovely; a hot, well-rounded blend. Not a face melter that gives you palpitations like Starbucks, but also not a watery cup of diner coffee. Just good coffee! Five stars for Leona and her wonderful coffee shop! read more

I love the charm of small town coffee shops, and this was no different. Barista was super friendly, she provided great recommendations and the beverages were tasty. My only qualm is that there is very little seating available and I couldn't see myself posting up here to get work done. Regardless, still worth going! read more

If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, this coffee shop needs to be on your morning routine. I often find it hard to find an exceptional cup of coffee in smaller mountain towns. I've set my expectations and expect to just get a good cup of coffee. Almond milk if I'm lucky. But this place has all the fixing aka I could order my extra boujee city coffee drink (read: half calf ameriano with almond milk and vanilla + stevia). The woman serving us was so friendly and accommodating. The cookies were larger than my head. We didn't get one but hopefully next time. I didn't appear they had much other food but this was a nice, quiet spot to enjoy our coffee before wondering around town for food. read more

Great coffee and beans! Lovely service! They also have wonderful cinnamon rolls which are their specialty!

I recently did a catering order and to say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. The sheer amount of kindness and professionalism they displayed was such a breath of fresh air. The coffee and pastries were delicious and the customer service was on a whole other level. I can not recommend this place enough, it truly lives up to its stellar reputation. Thank you so much for making a special day even better!!! read more

Jump Start is the best coffee shop in town! The staff is very welcoming, the ambiance inside is perfect for a coffee shop, Wi-Fi worked very well, and the cinnamon roll was one of the best I've ever had! read more

Solid service. Good coffee. Average apple and cherry turnovers. After our dreadful experience next door, it was a welcome change.

Love this place!! We came several times during our week in Grand Lake. My husband got both cold brew and hot coffee, and loved both. I got a mocha Frappuccino every time, I loved it so much! Our kids were excited about honey sticks and we also bought a souvenirs sign four our parents and whole bean coffee for our friends taking care of our house. We were very impressed with the friendly service from the young man behind the counter! read more

You'd be better off grabbing a Frappuccino from the store or gas station and getting on with your day than stopping here. Not very friendly at all and overpriced average coffee. read more

Have come in a few times now. Every time it's been awesome. So many choices!! The lattes are hot and delicious. Tons of teas to choose from too! A must stop while you are in GL. Get the salted caramel latte! You won't be disappointed read more

Love this spot-my kids are obsessed with the bubble tea, and I wish the breakfast quiche was a better-kept secret because they are sold out each time I've back for more. Salted caramel latte was perfection! Super clean and safe during COVID, which we appreciate as seasonal residents with high-risk family members. read more

Fun local establishment, very hole in the wall. They serve bubble tea, which is a surprise addition for a small mountain town. Service is friendly, and flavored coffee options are plentiful. If you're like me, you can get a plain coffee or almond milk latte too. Tasty, although nothing singularly exceptional. This place is about the vibes as much or more than the coffee itself. read more

Coffee is always good. I walked in yesterday and asked what smelled so good because I could tell something came out of the oven. It was fantastic croissants, turnovers and cinnamon rolls. We've been going here every morning we wake up in Grand Lake and are never disappointed. Grab whatever you like in the morning, and stroll over to the lake to enjoy the view. read more

Got the chocolate caramel latte and a banana nut muffin, boyfriend got the caramel latte with a blueberry muffin, and it was all delicious! The lady behind the counter was really nice as well. Recommend! read more

Cute little coffee house! We were visiting the area and looking for a quick breakfast option. This fit the bill and they had lots of options for the entire family. Quiches made fresh daily were very flavorful. Specialty coffee drinks were done well and were delicious. read more

Great dogs! And huge! Nice little eating space outside. Maybe shared w/ coffee shop next door? Guests had their pups hanging with them, and seemed to be some place space for the kiddos. Highly recommend! read more

Super friendly and informative about the area...coffee and hot chocolate were amazing!

The first thing you have to realize, it's not S***bucks!. Second, you need to know is the wonderful fragrance of fresh roasted coffee mixed with the variety of loose leaf teas, and unique frozen drinks that make this a sure stop in Grand Lake.The owners Shane and Leona have done a great job making this shop a fabulous place for conversation, coffee, and a wide variety of potential. Quirky, sure it's quirky and always original :D The treats, the specialty drinks are very refreshing on many levels. Spend some time, sip some coffee, talk to Shane and some of the folks who are frequent visitors and you'll make some new friends, I know i did. cant wait to come back. read more

Wonderful coffee shop and great coffee right in town. The woman behind the bar was a rockstar! She got jam packed this morning and was the only one working. I used to be a barista and would have been horrified at the line she had out the door! I even considered offering my help, but she handled it well and with a smile! Can't wait to come back in the morning! read more

Went here every day on vacation! The owner is super friendly and very enthusiastic about her product. My go-to drinks are usually a decaf americano (hush, you espresso purists) or chai, both were prepared very well. Excellent selection of non-standard syrups (lavender and violet are personal favourites!) There's no seating (except maybe outdoors on the benches) and I didn't even check to see if there's wifi - it's not a sit down/do work space at all, but that's not what it's there for anyway. Prices were moderate, but much better than what you'd be dropping at a chain place (and for much better quality!) read more

Great coffee and tea. Lots of tea options and the espresso was great. The owner, Leona, is very passionate about what she does and kindly feeds the hummingbirds out front. You can catch a show of many of them feeding on sugar water in the morning and dusk. read more

Got the bubble tea, very good and a lot of different (and out of the ordinary flavors as well, such as cotton candy). They have something for everyone- ranging from coffees to baked goods! Highly recommend stopping by. Lovely staff, worth going in just to say hi to them read more

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I love the teas and took a few jars home!

very cute inside, and really great coffee! i got an iced vanilla latte and i would definitely recommend this drink. it's a great place to swing by for a quick coffee, but also great for if you want to stay for a while! read more

Great coffee shop! Loved it - super ambiance and smooth coffee . Friendly and attentive staff. Loved the hummingbirds out front too.

Great coffee place and the owner and her family are very friendly. Good iced coffee and they have all the alternative milks: cashew (my favorite), almond, soy, and coconut. Also have Boba teas and smoothies for the kids. Highly recommended. read more

First time in Grand Lake and needed a good cup of coffee. Stopped in and got a GREAT cup of coffee. The owner, Leona, was friendly and gave us some tips on what to see in the area. When in Grand Lake make sure you stop by Jumpstart Coffee & Tea. You will not be sorry. read more
