    Delicious affogato!
    Elizabeth R.

    Need a place to hang out and get caffeinated before riding the Royal Gorge Train? THIS IS THE BEST SPOT IN TOWN! Easily one of the best coffee shops I visited during my trip to CO. See below to learn why. WHAT WE ORDERED: * Affogoto ($4.25) * Cappuccino ($4.25) * Medium Cold Brew ($4.50) PROS: * Delicious, fresh and high-quality coffee all around. They roast their beans to ensure freshness and quality. * They serve the best affogato I've had in years. * Their baked goods are soft and delicious. Chef's kiss! * Everything is very well-priced for the high-quality coffee you'll receive. * The inside of the cafe is adorable and has enough seating for two handfuls of humans. * The service is impeccable. Both baristas were wonderful and attentive, but the dude with dirty blond hair and blue eyes was a gem. He gave us free baked goods! He also gave us some great suggestions of things to check out during our trip. CON: * Put a tad too much milk in the cappuccino

    tldr; kind staff, fast service, reasonable prices, fire caffeine !!! went here coming home from camping and i was SO happy to find it, definitely a gem. prices were super affordable, had multiple dairy milk alternatives. i got an iced mocha latte with vanilla syrup, my bf got oat milk vanilla latte. both sooo good, the matcha was one of the best i've had in a while !! the interior was so cute too, lots of places to chill and talk. plants, clean bathroom, bright. hopefully i'm around here another time and can come back!! thank you sm !!

    Cool pup

    This place slaps. Very calming and relaxed atmosphere with great service and even better food. The baristas are super friendly and knowledgeable. I was in Cañon City for a week and I went to breakfast here every day I was in town. I've been to small towns all over the country and it's rare to find a gem like Cafe Belay. 10/10

    HIGHLY recommend this coffee shop!! We tried a few different spots and this was definitely a gem. Spencer is really passionate about his business and that transfers in the flavor of the coffee without a doubt. Excellent service and very personable. Of course I had to leave with some coffee beans in hand. We will absolutely come back when we are in the area again! =)

    Great place to grab coffee and a bite to eat! I saw the recommendations and I have to agree. Breakfast burrito was delicious and hit the spot for a morning hike. I had a nice conversation with Spencer, the owner, he gave me some information about where to hike along the River. Look forward to stopping by again in the future!

    Tiny beautiful spot!!

    Delicious coffee made with love! The owner is super knowledgeable and kind - a great way to start the day. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    Decaf latte with no sugar.

    Gotta come back again for the best decaf latte. Always a great service. Not pictured is their muffins but so yummy and moist

    Breakfast burrito

    We went here for breakfast and coffee. Their food options are limited but the breakfast burrito was very good! The coffee was great and the atmosphere in the cafe was very enjoyable. From the outside, just the location of this place is not somewhere I would have chosen to stop in but I'm so glad I looked at reviews because it was totally worth it!

    Our family had never been on a white-water rafting trip before, and we couldn't have picked a…read morebetter outfit for our first go at it then Lost Paddle Rafting! From the customer service we received before ever showing up to the clear and concise instructions prior to launch, and the expert leadership on the water, all of it culminated into a confident and absolutely exhilarating trip for our entire family. The anxious hesitation some of us arrived with was soon washed away by Lawrence who was an amazing guide. His expertise and leadership which was blended with a quiet confidence and deeply personal approach immediately made us all feel like he was a close friend of the family. Shout out to Lawrence! You're the man! As for the time on the water, the scenery is something you will never forget. From the wildlife, the towering Gorge walls, the passing train along the ridge, and every approaching rapid it all leaves a visual impression that you will be hard pressed to forget. Some rapids were more challenging than others, but I would encourage you to always stay locked in as I let my guard down on a low level rapid and almost went overboard. Speaking of overboard, one of our favorite parts of the trip was the swimming part of the trip. Our whole outfit pulled over, and we were allowed to take a refreshing dip in the river. Climbing onto the bank and taking a plunge from a natural high dive, otherwise known as a giant rock hovering the river. What a great time! Don't sleep on the pictures offered at the end of the trip. They are worth every penny! And be sure to grab some Lost Paddle Rafting souvenirs before you leave. They have a great selection of stickers for your cooler, hats, t-shirts, and hoodies. Thank you to the whole Lost Paddle Rafting team! Y'all gave us a trip we will forever remember.

He was knowledgeable of the river, shared the history of the area, and was funny, calm and reassuring during the whole tour. He even gave us a fantastic recommendation for lunch afterwards!
