They don't allow dogs inside and it was a bit too chilly that morning to sit outside so, we opted for to-go. The staff is amazing, friendly and clearly cares about the service and experience. While waiting for my burrito I witnessed them helping each out and cleaning the shelves. There is plenty of patio space in front and on the side to enjoy your drinks and food on a nice day. I highly recommend stopping by when in Winter Park.

However, once you find this place, you'll find the outside is nice and quaint, like going to Grandma's house for breakfast. The interior is small but nice, and decorated all over with little nicknacks. Everything is clean, including the bathroom. The people inside are all small town nice chatty folk, customers and staff alike. Don't let the older waitress scare ya, she looks mean, but she's actually very nice. The food: It doesn't seem like a lot at first, but what you get is actually plenty of food for the price. We filled up with just a basic plate of omelet and pancakes and some coffee. I will say that the pancakes are pretty dense, they could definitely use some fluffing, but everything has good flavor, including the coffee! I would definitely go back if I were back in the area for another hike.

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

I was here back in September too and noticed they've upgraded the upstairs seating since then, so it feels even nicer and more refreshed now. Always consistent, always a great stop when I'm in Estes Park.

We shared the Breakfast Croissant as it was large enough to split. The staff was very friendly and eager to take our to-go order. Know that this restaurant has a great bakery selection, espresso bar, alchohol and serves many breakfast and lunch options. The inside has a rustic charm with clean restrooms for customers. There is plenty of parking and a large seating area in both the bar and the main restaurant. On our second visit we had time for a proper sit down breakfast. Edith was our server and she was delightful. We ordered coffee, cappuccino, build your own omelette, and eggs benedict. The cappuccino was perfect. Edith kept the coffe cup full and served us waters. The BYO Omelette was large and served with home fried potatoes and sourdough toast. Too much to eat! The eggs benedict was wonderful and I loved the hollandaise sauce as well as the tasty ham. It too came with home fried potatoes. If your a local, you are lucky to make this a regular eating spot. If you are a traveler, make sure you stop by and give them a try.

Came here to Notchtop in Estes Park on a Friday afternoon while we were visiting Rocky Mountain…read moreNational Park. We had just finished hiking a couple of miles around Bear Lake at roughly 10,000 feet, so by the time we arrived around 2 PM, we were pretty exhausted and definitely hungry. I ordered the Rocky Mountain Trout & Eggs for $18.69, which came with fresh Rocky Mountain trout, two eggs any style, home-fried potatoes, and toast. I got my eggs over medium. The trout tasted fresh, but overall I found the dish pretty bland and just kind of meh. There were also quite a few bones in the fish, which made it a little annoying to eat. I'd probably give the dish itself a generous 3/5. It was definitely filling, though. Between the whole trout, two eggs, fried potatoes, and toast, it was a lot of food after the hike. Others at the table ordered the Harvest Panini with turkey, bacon, sliced apples, honey, cheddar, sourdough, and sweet potato fries, as well as what I believe was the Castle Rock Chicken Sandwich with chicken, lettuce, tomato, pesto mayo, avocado, bacon, and provolone on a brioche bun. One person didn't eat avocado, so I was the lucky winner there. I didn't really get a chance to try the other dishes beyond a few sweet potato fries because I was busy working through my own meal. We originally sat outside on the patio, but it started raining, so we moved inside. Unfortunately, once we were indoors, there were quite a few flies around us and our food, which was pretty distracting and definitely brought the experience down a bit. Overall, Notchtop did hit the spot after a tiring hike, and the food seemed fresh and hearty, but my trout dish itself was only okay and the flies inside were a noticeable negative. Apparently, the restaurant is named after Notchtop Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park, which is a pretty fitting name for a place in Estes Park. I'd still consider coming back if I were in Estes Park or visiting RMNP again, but I'd probably try something different next time. Last visited: September 25, 2026
