    Interior

    5 Stars - Cozy Coffee Spot with Great Matcha! The Perk is such a great spot in Winter Park! I got a matcha latte with oat milk, and it was delicious--smooth, well-balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. At $7, the price was standard for a good matcha. I love the interior! It used to be inside an equipment shop, so now there's tons of space for tables and working, which gives it a really open and welcoming vibe. The service was super friendly and quick, and I especially loved the little stamp on the cup--such a fun touch! Definitely a great place to grab a drink and hang out.

    The Perk is a great coffee shop to grab a GOOD cup of coffee and a light bite. I ordered a black medium roast cup of coffee and the bacon breakfast burrito. You know how a certain popular coffee shop that ends in "bucks" always has coffee that tastes burnt or like it was sitting in a carafe all day? Not this place! It was perfect, and the burrito was yummy! Indoor seating is limited, especially in the winter since a it usually too cold to sit outside but it seems like most people don't linger for long. The employees are friendly and I like the vibe and convenience of this spot! If you are in the area it's a nice spot to stop for a cup of coffee! This shop shares a space with an outdoor clothing/supply shop. Very convenient to grab gloves or hand warmers or boots or whatever else you might have forgotten. The price is comparable to any shop that carries higher end outdoor brands.

    A coffee shop AND a retail store? I've gone to heaven. Located on Main Street in winter park it's a cute space with small amount of seating inside. Through our condo rental we were able to use some vouchers to offset the coast of 8 hot drinks but even still it was moderately priced $5 for more drinks. I didn't really care for my SVL but I did enjoy the shopping experience. So many coffee shops near by, I might venture out to try another shop.

    London Fog and Iced Latte goodness
    Julie B.

    First checked The Perk out in 2018 when it was in the former location and had the best London Fog. Cut to 2023 and a quick trip to Hot Sulphur Springs and a couple of days of soaking in the hot mineral waters and I found my way back to The Perk for a visit. The new location is quite nice and includes a small outdoor clothing and shoe business inside. It is always nice to be greeted with a friendly smile and I may be wrong but, I think it possibly could be the same gentleman that served me all those years ago?? At any rate, I ordered another London Fog because- why not?? I appreciated the oatmilk option on the menu which I snagged and this London Fog was just as good as my first. It's like drinking a dessert! We chatted about the roaster behind the counter that is a prototype soon to be replaced by the new and improved version and of course, discussed all of the beans - our barista was fantastic with descriptions and recommendations - I came home with two bags - but, every one of them could easily have made their way back with me, they all sounded so good. There is a little spot to sit with high top counter and chairs to work with wifi if you feel like staying a while. Next trip I will stop early for a burrito. The non-vegan options (including a veggie) are from Bonfire in Golden (IYKYK!) and there is a vegan option from another vendor - again, appreciate having the veg options. Definitely recommend a visit when you're coming to town or driving through. Fast, cozy vibes, friendly service, and excellent teas and coffee.

    They are a little pricey. *shocking. But they had the best variety of gear in town from what Ive seen further down towards Winter Park Resort. It was the first time I found those strap on foot spikes which I really wanted but they didn't have my size.

    Last minute stop for coffee. Ordered the pumpkin pie latte.... THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!! I thought I had had the best till today! Homemade pureed pumpkin. Not excessively sweet and just like THANKSGIVING in my mouth! Bursts of flavor!! The Perk is located inside the outdoor store. Small but makes the impact to a coffee lover! Winston is the magic maker of this deliciousness I am enjoying! THANK YOU!!!

    The Perk is my favorite coffee shop in town!! The owner, Ellie is incredibly hospitable, kind, and always has a smile on her face. They have delicious seasonal drinks and really care for the customer to have a positive experience. I couldn't recommend it more!

    Cool place, nice to just hang out in the sitting area and great coffee I'll try the pastries and burritos next time.

    Cute coffee house in Winter Park! The seating is comfortable and homey. I had an apple cider with caramel and a piece of housemade pumpkin bread. Both were delicious. They have coffee, cocoa, kombucha etc. The food items are breakfast burritos, muffins, house made cinnamon rolls and breads. You can relax and take your time there. They have an outdoor deck for warmer weather. Located on 40 in Winter Park across from Cooper square in a free standing home like building. Street parking free.

    This is the drive-thru, no joke... Lol
    Tricia K.

    My brother and I saw this place from Hwy 40 and had a nice chuckle over their "drive-thru" which, sincerely, is a route around the property's dirt lot to an open widow to order. I was pleasantly surprised by their delicious coffee! Theirs was really smooth and not at all bitter. It came with coffee cubes too - such a great touch! I loved it enough that I came back to bring one to my campsite and for another on my way back to Denver. They were out of pastries and muffins the morning I came (8am on a holiday weekend, strange) so I settled for a breakfast burrito... And I think it was really old. It was pretty bad. I am talking, I paid $5 for crusty tortilla and old, dry eggs and potatoes. I could only take one bite as bits kept snapping off and/or getting stuck between my teeth. So while I am very happy with the coffee, I definitely drove the 2hrs home on a mostly empty stomach. Free Wi-Fi with a 90min limit, plenty of places to sit inside and outside, easy access from the highway. I'll come back just for the iced coffee.

    I've been coming to Empire Edge Grill for years and it never disappoints…read more My go-to order is the Empire breakfast sandwich and it is so good. I get it on ciabatta with bacon and their bacon is actually quality crispy, flavorful, not flimsy. The chipotle aioli is what really makes it though. So good. Heads up: this sandwich is big. Like, if you're not a big eater, you could easily split it. I didn't even finish mine and gave about a quarter to my mom It's perfect if you're about to have an active day and need something filling. I also ordered a medium matcha with vanilla and my total came out to about $20, which is a little pricey in my opinion but the portion size makes up for it. The matcha was good, but quick tip: if you like your drinks sweet, make sure to ask for sugar or flavor. I always forget and end up with a bitter drink lol. Everyone here is always super nice and welcoming. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. I go here often and already plan to be back in a couple weeks. Solid food, big portions, good vibes. Highly recommend.

Pulled up and enjoyed the family run joint and couldn't decide on breakfast or lunch. I went with the pastrami sandwich and they started to cook my lunch in front of me. They pulled the sandwich together and I took off to make sure to get a parking spot. As I pulled the sandwich out to eat in the MJ parking lot, I looked around at the jealous people to see what I was eating. A solid sandwich to eat half before shredding and then having the second half before driving the pass back

The xc skiing at Devil's Thumb has always been a favorite for us, as far back as the 70's when it was just a rustic ski trail system with a small nordic supply shop. In recent years it became a full fledged resort with lodging where we have often stayed. We have also stayed in Winter Park, about 15 minutes away and driven over to ski. But we have now found our new favorite option. This is such a lovely place, both the facility and the charming staff. It is a better price value for us than some of the other options in the area, yet more than a simple motel in town. You know, like Goldilocks, "just right." I especially want to note that the (included) breakfast that host John cooks for the guests was wonderful, some sweet, some savory, warm, homemade, natural and ample for the start of even an hearty ski day. They take note in advance of special food needs and serve with a choice of time options. The log style of the building is rustic but nicely furnished. The rooms are well designed and furnished with high quality linens and have lots of storage as some guests stay for weeks. The views from each room are very pretty, some to the Continental Divide, some to the woodland. Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. The central lounge area was large, comfortable, attractive and clean and with a central fireplace. There are also some other smaller gathering areas to sit and talk or read if you wish to be outside your room. And there are also some family and dog friendly cabins on site if you want more than a bedroom. Personally, the rooms in the main inn are just right for my needs. We will absolutely be back. It is convenient to local xc skiing and also just a 15 minute drive past the Winter Park Resort and not far at all from several quality dinner options. We met other guests using the lodging for all of these reasons.
