    Jalapeño and cheddar bagel with egg, avocado, and cram cheese! The iced coffee is their ultraviolet
    Ashley C.

    Stopped in for a coffee and quick lunch and was not disappointed! Their summer menu is great and their bagels were soft and all the flavors worked so well together! The cashier was helpful in walking us through everything and this place was great for a quick bit or a meeting!

    Such a great coffee place and don't be intimidated by the line it moves quick!! They have great seating indoor and outdoor and it's a perfect place to stop on the way to a hike or on your way out of town. I got their pumpkin spice latte and bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. Delish! Super simple and yummy. It's an adorable place and a must stop

    It's a really cute spot that clearly promotes kindness in Estes Park. It shares a small parking spot with a handful of stores, but there is plenty of seating available. If you have a chance to walk to the store, I'd recommend you walk. The interior is clean with some seats and merch available. It looks like some of the sales from the merch goes towards discouraging bullying which seemed like a unique concept. The employees were also very polite and kept up the theme of serving coffee with kindness. Outside, there's plenty of seating and a nice river to walk by as well. I would gladly spend some time walking around here. The coffee here was good. The only reason why I'm a little bitter with my rating is the lack of coffee that was given with my coffee. I had a hot latte and there was a lot of room towards the top. It's like someone robbed me of a quarter of my coffee. The amount of coffee provided per person seemed inconsistent in my group, so this statement seems justified. Aside from the serving amount, this is a place I'd like to walk around or read a book in.

    Kind coffee is an excellent spot in downtown Estes park!! I only gave 2 stars because there's another place with even more variety that I consider my favorite spot, but this place has excellent vibes and lots of windows/light and tables so it's a nice place to hang around. I had the blueberry cobbler house latte and it was smooth and sweet! The base is blueberry and brown sugar; I will say the blueberry flavor wasn't terribly strong, but blueberry usually isn't so I still enjoyed the drink. They'd recommended it iced so that's the way I got it. I would recommend it if you're in the area and want a solid, standard coffee and a nice, well lit place to sit!

    Great little coffee shop to grab a coffee and a light snack/lunch option as you get into town. Has a dedicated free parking lot (small, most likely not useful during tourist season). The free EP visitor center parking is just steps away. Our food was good, service served with a side of smiles, ambience is relaxed and welcoming.

    Highly recommend checking this place out when in Estes Park! The menu is full of amazing sounding coffee and tea options. It was hard to pick just one! I ended up ordering an iced Maple leaf matcha. It is so good! Service is super kind, and the barista gave great recommendations. Such a cozy and aesthetic cafe. Bright and scenic views out the big windows. Take your drink and go sit outside by the creek for really elevate the experience. Can't wait to try again!

    Visited while I was in Estes Park! OMG it was SO GOOD that I went for a second cup. It was asnowing that day which makes the atmosphere even better. I would come back if I'm ever in the area again.

    The kind shake is to DIE FOR. I was in town for 3 days and had one every day and am now having withdrawals. Great coffee & good. Kind and quick service. great indoor and outdoor seating, right on the river. Such a perfect place to enjoy a drink and go for a walk!!

    Iced mocha

    Best coffee in the area. Iced mocha was delicious. Cute shop offers food too and is in a great location near shops and easy to walk to from our hotel. Highly recommend. Quick service too!

    Absolutely loved this coffee shop right on the river walk - I highly recommend starting your day here! They have unique and delicious drinks and a decent breakfast menu for a small shop. The vibe is very hipster and young, I wanted a lot of what they offered for merchandise too! Service took a bit because they had a large mobile order right before us. I had a cold brew with coconut and skim milk - was delicious and bold but not too sweet. I definitely recommend getting a breakfast sandwich here, the Narrows was unique and so tasty.

    Arnold Palmer with mango flavoring and whole bean coffee bag
    Julia F.

    Wow, what a location. A running river in the back and yummy drinks in the front. I loved browsing the trinkets while I waited for my order. I got an Arnold Palmer with mango flavoring, it was so refreshing on a sunny warm day. I also picked out a bag of beans as a gift, the bags aren't labeled between ground and whole, so the barista made sure to check with me which one I preferred, which was appreciated. I enjoyed my drink while watching the water run.

    The bacon and avocado toast was delightful and the coffee was good. Nice scenery by the river. The service was fast and friendly.

    Nice shop at the beginning of river side shopping strip mall. Very cute and have chairs and tables in side and outside. Have filter water and clean restroom for customers. We ordered cold brew, hot latte and 3 scoop icecream. All tasty but the wait is long. Just wait outside relaxing on the bench looking down the river. All the servers are really nice and taking time to fill the order. Should not miss if you're in Estes park.

    Do they have milk alternatives like soy, coconut and almond? Do they carry vegan baked goods/ breakfast foods?

    Yes! It varies but they usually carry several alternatives.

Otherwise, we were mightily disappointed. Saturday, late June ~1pm - we were seated quickly enough. Took a while for the server to take our order (~10 minutes before she came for our drink order) and it took well over 45 minutes for our food to come out! They weren't particularly busy (lots of open tables) and there were a lot of servers. Maybe short staffed in the kitchen? Probably more disappointing than waiting so long was the food itself. Potato soup was "fine" but nothing special and way too much bacon. Three of us got side salads and every single one of us had warm lettuce. Not even room temperature - warm, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The turkey panini had way more mayo that should be allowed on a sandwich and the bread was barely toasted. We waited so long for our food we couldn't risk sending it back. As it was, we were there for so long we had to change our afternoon plans to go to RMNP because we rain out of time. Fortunately, we live only an hour away so we can go back. If you are looking to maximize your time in Estes I would not recommend Notchtop. Plenty of other options in Estes.

    We stayed in Estes Park for two nights, and both mornings we found ourselves at The Egg of Estes…read morefor breakfast. It was that good the first time that we decided to come back and do it all over again the next day. Parking is somewhat limited, but we arrived early on weekday mornings and had no trouble finding a spot. The restaurant is charming from the outside, with a colorful "Greetings from Estes Park" old postcard mural that makes for a great photo opportunity. Inside, the atmosphere is modern yet cozy, and both days we were lucky enough to snag a window booth. Our first experience set the tone right away. We walked in just as a server was arriving for her shift. Noticing nobody was at the host stand, she seated us before even putting away her personal belongings. That's customer service. For breakfast, I ordered a special that I can't seem to find on the menu now--an Eggs Benedict with pulled pork. I debated swapping the greens for potatoes but decided to be healthy. To my surprise, the dish was served on crispy potato pancakes instead of an English muffin, which meant I got the best of both worlds. The combination was fantastic, and honestly, I think Eggs Benedict works even better on potato pancakes than on bread. Every bite was packed with flavor. The next morning, I made myself try something different, even though I was tempted to order the same thing again. I chose the Cambridge Skillet: smoked ham and bacon with jack and cheddar cheeses over seasoned ranch potatoes, topped with two over-easy eggs and creamy hollandaise. It was delicious and hearty, although my first day's breakfast still edged it out as my favorite. I also sampled my friend's whole wheat blueberry pancake. It was enormous and surprisingly flavorful. I especially appreciated that many of their sweeter breakfast options come with eggs and a choice of bacon or sausage. It's a nice balance and makes for a more satisfying meal. The food, service, and atmosphere were consistently excellent on both visits. The Egg of Estes quickly became one of our favorite breakfast spots in Estes Park, and it's definitely somewhere we'll return on future trips.

All symptoms point to food poisoning. We will not be back. This was our first visit to You Need Pie. What we liked: Our waiter was really hospitable, friendly, and did his best to provide service in a timely way despite being the only server available for all the customers. The coffee was decent, though in a small mug, and so was the hot chocolate we orders for the kids (which came with whipped cream, much to their delight!). The decor on the walls felt kind of scanty but what is there was cute. There is a pretty wide pie selection. Food serving sizes were okay. The single person bathroom was clean. What we didn't like: *The $2 veg add-ins of onion and jalapeños to the $12 omelette were raw. *The corned beef hash was extremely basic and barely seasoned, the potatoes were well cooked but bland and pale. It was edible but not worth $15. *Our party ordered a $9 bread bowl soup and waffle fries as well; it was eaten but the cheese ingredient was really overpowering in flavor - the small size was a good thing, in this case, because otherwise it couldn't have been finished. *The batter on the chicken tenders in the kid's meal were almost burnt on the edges, but still pale everywhere else. Something off with the oil temperature I guess. They didn't get eaten. *The color of everything was pretty much all beige and served on white plates, which impacted the impression of the meal - zero visual appeal. One of my favorite parts of eating at mom-and-pop diners is the way the meals feel homey, warming you from the inside out. This did not create that kind of impression. Lastly, the pie (which was the main draw for us and why we picked this dining option). We ordered one slice of rhubarb at $6.25. The pie was very disappointing - something in it was either stale or had gone bad. It tasted really unpleasant and we ended up throwing it away. Our total for everything was about $80 with tip and it was sadly not money well spent. We love stand alone dining options but probably will not be returning.
