    Jalapeño and cheddar bagel with egg, avocado, and cram cheese! The iced coffee is their ultraviolet
    Ashley C.

    Stopped in for a coffee and quick lunch and was not disappointed! Their summer menu is great and their bagels were soft and all the flavors worked so well together! The cashier was helpful in walking us through everything and this place was great for a quick bit or a meeting!

    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!

    Great little coffee shop to grab a coffee and a light snack/lunch option as you get into town. Has a dedicated free parking lot (small, most likely not useful during tourist season). The free EP visitor center parking is just steps away. Our food was good, service served with a side of smiles, ambience is relaxed and welcoming.

    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!

    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.

    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
    Kellie M.

    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.

    Arnold Palmer with mango flavoring and whole bean coffee bag
    Julia F.

    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.

    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.

We ordered two different kinds of sandwiches, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was completely on point, everything was so fresh, and they make it right in front of you. The deli is run by a super cute couple, and you can tell how much care they put into their business. We happened to visit during the shoulder season, so luckily the line wasn't very long. However, I've heard from others that this place is super popular, and during the peak summer season, there is usually a line waiting right out the door, and after eating here, I can totally see why! In fact, we loved it so much that we tried to go back the very next day, but unfortunately, they were closed (they are closed two days of the week, so be sure to check their hours!).

All of their meats are cured in house and served on their fresh baked bread each day. They are vegetarian friendly and offer vegan and gluten free options. They also offer breakfast items like burritos. Be aware their sandwiches are loaded with ingredients and big. I could only eat half of my sandwich. I do appreciate the size though as you never know how hungry you are going to be after a long hike especially in this altitude. We went with the turkey sandwich and added cheese, all kinds of toppings and a spread. These sandwiches were very tasty and all the veggies on the sandwich were so fresh. Their baked goods looked so inviting especially the cinnamon rolls. I will have to come back! Service was efficient and helpful. Parking can be a bit of a challenge when they are busy. It was the perfect stop before entering the park!

These sandwiches? Fuggedaboutit. Dry, flavorless, and thinner than my cousin Vinny's patience. If this is what they're calling a "hit," then it's a miss, capisce? We ordered The Uncle Tony, which comes with salami, pepperoni, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, black olives, and oil & vinegar on a hoagie. This was, without question, the saddest sandwich I've ever had the displeasure of paying for. One flimsy slice of each meat and cheese, and the bare minimum of veggies they could legally get away with. If Uncle Tony knew his name was being slapped on this, he'd have made The Sandwich Mafia sleep with the fishes. Their Instagram? Fugazi. It's all thick stacks of meat, cheese, and toppings. But what you actually get is a sad, limp excuse for a sandwich. Check the photos I posted if you need the visual heartbreak. Do yourself a favor--save your appetite, your wallet, and your dignity. Go eat somewhere else. Heck, even Subway would've been a hundred times better... and that's saying something.

After one of my go-to nearby restaurants closed down, I decided to venture here for a burger. This place rocks! Boss Burgers and Gyros reminds me of a classic dive that we all know and love. Nothing fancy, no frills, no fuss, no pretentiousness, just tasty food at an affordable price. You order at the counter and the cashier gives you a table number. Plenty of outdoor seating with some indoor seating as well. This place gets pretty busy, but the staff hustles. Kitchen is cranking out relatively quick ticket times so you don't have to wait that long at all. For a cheeseburger with bacon and jalapeños and an order of cheese fries, this was $14 and change. And I added the bacon and jalapeños to the burger! In Denver, this would be $25, haha. The cheese fries (small) were really enough for two people. So you get your money's worth after a day exhausting yourself at RMNP. Burger was great. I added some mustard to mine at the table. It comes with LTO, ketchup, and mayo. This tastes like what you want at a backyard BBQ. Served on a red plastic tray with paper lining, this mom and pop place dishes humble food without breaking the bank. Bacon was crispy, cheese was melty, I had no complaints! Only knock on the cheese fries were that they desperately needed salt. It's not the best burger place of all time, but it doesn't need to be. These are the types of places I love supporting. Will return and maybe try an elk dog next time!

The space itself is gorgeous, and not something you'd expect in a mountain town. The high ceilings and massive windows allow you to soak up any mountain and sunset views. They have a nice little patio outside and yes, you'll probably see elk grazing across the street! The pizza left more to be desired. I ordered a simple margherita ($18) and an Odell beer. I would've prefered the pizza to be cooked for another minute in the oven personally, but that's not a knock on them. It desperately needed salt. In the dough and on the tomatoes. The tomatoes slid right off every time I tried to take a bite. It was just severely under-seasoned and really didn't have any flavor at all. I would actually come back here because I do like restaurant concepts like these that offer different experiences throughout the day. A great place to hang out and recharge. I will stick with breakfast and coffee next time!

They weren't particularly busy (lots of open tables) and there were a lot of servers. Maybe short staffed in the kitchen? Probably more disappointing than waiting so long was the food itself. Potato soup was "fine" but nothing special and way too much bacon. Three of us got side salads and every single one of us had warm lettuce. Not even room temperature - warm, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The turkey panini had way more mayo that should be allowed on a sandwich and the bread was barely toasted. We waited so long for our food we couldn't risk sending it back. As it was, we were there for so long we had to change our afternoon plans to go to RMNP because we rain out of time. Fortunately, we live only an hour away so we can go back. If you are looking to maximize your time in Estes I would not recommend Notchtop. Plenty of other options in Estes.
