Very few people are morning people but life makes it so that even as we prefer to be asleep, we have to be not just awake, but awake and functioning at way too early hours. Even during a ski vacation in Telluride, most travelers will want to be awake for the first run of the day, whether they went to bed late the night before or not. And of course, the way most of the world survives is with a jolt of caffeine! Coffee, java, a cup of joe, it doesn’t matter what you call it, the dark brew that helps the perma-sleepy come awake, sometimes at first sniff! Our Accommodations in Telluride homes and condos do provide coffee makers or Keurigs in our fully equipped kitchens, but when you want the fancy stuff, a visit to these best coffee shops in Telluride will sate your craving for caffeine in grand and taste-full fashion!
Coffee Cowboy, 300 W San Juan Avenue
Located at the base of the Gondola, Coffee Cowboy is a coffee cart after your heart! This simple little walkup window serves the sweetest coffees, including a summer treat called a Poppogato which is an espresso poured over a popsicle. (Not to be confused with an Affagato, which is espresso poured over vanilla ice cream.)
Telluride Coffee Company, 565 Mountain Village Road #103
When your first name is the same as the name of your town, you better expect the coffee to be spectacular, and yes, Telluride Coffee Company lives up to the name when it comes to Telluride coffee shops! Located in Mountain Village, your day on the slopes will be brighter after a stop here and for the breakfast lovers in our midst, you will be quite excited to learn they serve breakfast all day. Also serving cocktails, they close at 4 PM, so if you tire early, they provide a great après ski spot.
Butcher & the Baker, 201 E Colorado Avenue
The Butcher & the Baker is a local farm-to-table establishment serving homemade baked goods, delicious sandwiches, and an expansive coffee menu that will wake you right up! Known for their homemade cashew milk, they too also serve cocktails, and we can honestly say they are one of our favorite addictions.
Your Accommodations in Telluride Fully Equipped Kitchen
If you aren’t a professionally trained barista, you will still enjoy the fresh brewed java you make every morning in our fully equipped kitchens. Contact us and reserve your favorite escape today and wake every day to the scent of the dark, strong brew you can’t live without!
