    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I ordered a drip coffee and an iced kind coffee. 1/5. Tasted like water. I should have ordered Starbucks across the street instead and I'm not a fan of Starbucks. Service - super busy but staff was nice

    What a cute coffee shop walking distance from the Estes Park Visitor Center! We walked around the area and stopped by on our wary back to Longmont. My latte was good but not overly sweet (I like). Restrooms are gender neutral. Plenty of indoor seating. Lots of local artisan items for sale. Option to recycle the coffee jackets when upon leaving (nice).

    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.

    What a lovely place for our first morning in Estes Park. We were ready for a nice meal after a day…read moreof airport food and this hit the spot. A decent chai tea latte and plenty of Diet Coke from the start for my companion. Our server was personable and offered great insights on the menu. I opted for her recommendation of the Hikers Benedict with grits as my side. I was skeptical so far from the South, but the grits were well done although I like to cook mine with salt but many restaurants do not. The Benedict was amazing with asparagus, cremini mushrooms and a perfect hollandaise sauce topped with delicious bacon. Excellent! My companion had the Wisconsin scramble with potatoes. The eggs had a variety of cheeses and he said they were very good. I imagine on weekends this place can be packed but on a late Thursday morning it was a decent crowd. I'm angling to go back tomorrow if it isn't too crowded!

Loaded potatoes is a must try here. We asked for the no bacon version and they gladly obliged. It was creamy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Avocado toast with egg was good too. The highlight for us was the apple chicken and walnut croissant sandwich. It is one of the best I've had. The taste was consistent during our visits. Grilled chicken burger was pretty good too, the bread was fresh and burger was juicy. Parking: There is parking in the shared lot. We were on the waitlist for atleast 15min during each of our visits

    Update: our youngest started vomiting on the way home a few hours after eating here and has been…read moredoing so ever since - it's been 24 hours, she has been vomiting all night. 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.

    Love this place and will be thinking about it on our next trip through town. Wow! What a vibe!…read more Things were picking up by the time we got there for lunch. We were greeted by a really nice blonde girl that showed us our seats. She was down to earth and was just beaming with great vibes. Then we got Matt. As if the experience wasn't already great from hanging out with friends, Matt invited us with an amount of aloha that is only found in Hawaii! We ordered chips and onion dip. The ramekin that the onion dip came with was really small compared to the amount of chips we received. It was delicious! Maybe substitute toasted bread next time? I ordered the poke and that was outstanding! It came with a creamy ginger dip that tied things together. For being landlocked and in the mountains, this is a dish I will remember! Matt also brought out a Hong Kong sriacha that definitely elevated everything. The reggae (music), positive vibes, and down to earth feel was a great way to end our trip before getting back to the grind. What a place! The scenery speaks for itself too and the staff is top notch!

For entrees, we selected carnivore and sweet potato gnocchi. One major thing I liked about their dishes is the variety of vegetables within the soup and entrees. Carnivore had freshly sautéed broccoli, and Gnocchi had zucchini, onions, and cauliflowers. It makes the whole meal feel more healthy and balanced. We finished our meal with lady bird bread pudding. Overall the service was great and welcoming. Highly recommend! PS. They also offer to send out a postcard for you. I enjoyed writing the postcard in the restaurant!
