    Their latte was fantastic! Corned beef and hash just delicious. We came at the right time. Not so busy. Service was great.

    The menu is super diverse with so many things. It was hard to choose what to order. I heard CO is a green chili state so I ordered something with green chili. I had the Dragon's Eye Benedict 5/5. Instead of biscuit, they used pancakes. The pancakes were soft, fluffy and thick. I love the combination. Though I could barely taste the green chili. Elk Stew 3/5. There was so much peppers that it overpowered the taste of the stew. Service was alright. They didn't refill my water but asked my boyfriend if needed to refill his coke.

    Breakfast goals achieved at @notchtop2024! This Estes Park institution, named after the majestic Notchtop Mountain (12,129 ft!), has been serving up deliciousness since 1993 - that's 30 years of satisfying hungry folks! Talk about a local legend. The lines out the door prove they're the "belle of the ball" when it comes to breakfast, but don't worry, they're super efficient! We devoured the flavorful Corned Beef Hash & Eggs and the unique Polish Breakfast with those amazing homemade "platkes." Both perfectly seasoned and so satisfying! Already planning my next visit to try their tempting Coffee Cocktails and Mimosas. This place is a must-stop in Estes Park!

    Good traditional American breakfast spot with prompt service and a cozy dining room. The breakfast tacos with chorizo and green chile were delicious. French toast was tall and delicate. Kids devoured their pancakes.

    Notchtop offers a wide range of options for their breakfast/brunch menu. Out of which, dragons egg benedict was creamy and tasty, instead of the usual English muffin, this dish had pancakes underneath the eggs. We also got Colorado burrito, the portion size was filling, and the green chili sauce was WOW. Service was fast and they are happy to adapt, esp if you need to substitute a side for dietary preferences. Highly recommend!

    We were super impressed by Notchtop. We had lunch one day and then breakfast the next. The food is legit good (in my opinion, it's hard to find actually good food in smaller towns in CO). I had a burger for lunch and the next morning for breakfast, I had the Santa Fe hash -- both well seasoned and fresh and spicy. Even the drip coffee is good. The service is fast and efficient and you can tell the staff take it seriously, running a great restaurant. The crazy mountain views just outside the window make this the complete Estes dining experience.

    We arrived here mid afternoon on a Saturday and it was fairly packed! We were able to be seated right away thankfully with our party of 2. Service was great and food came out quickly. Portions are generous and food is delicious! Would most definitely come again. It is lively and loud as a diner typically is inside. Family friendly!

    This restaurant is located in the same lot/strip mall as Safeway, so there's plenty of parking available. The menu is HUGE and so much sounds good, so good luck deciding. I ordered the country fried steak, which comes with eggs, a choice of a potato type (I got hashbrowns) and a choice of bread (I got an English muffin). Everything was cooked well and was super flavorful, and portions were huge! Definitely come hungry. The staff were super friendly and always came to check if we needed refills or anything else. We definitely considered coming back during our stay in Estes but ran out of time. Would absolutely recommend!

    Huge portions and great substitutions

    This place offeres gluten-free toast, waffle, and pancakes. There milk alternatives are almond, oat, and soy. I ordered the gluten-free pancake platter; which was 1 giant pancake, 2 eggs, and 3 slices of turkey bacon (I asked for turkey). I got a side of gluten-free toast also. It was all very good. I tried the pancake without the syrup it was delicious. I got the real maple syrup; which was $2.49 upcharge (not the $1.49 online menu said) and it ruined my pancake. Also when the bill came the side of gluten free toast was $5.29 with the $1 upcharge for GF. Other than that everything I had was awesome. My hubby got the sausage and gravy platter and also loved his. He got the home fried potatoes with his. He really liked his meal, he felt there could of been more sausage in the gravy but he really liked the biscuits and potatoes. We also got lattes with alternative milk which were also good. Being this is a baked on-site and non GMO ingredient plus the food was good, we will be back! Tip: The home fried potatoes have rosemary in the herbs.

    During the fall season, Pumpkin Apple Waffles. And a cup of elk stew. All of it very delicious! :)

    After a beautiful hiking morning in the Rocky Mountain National Park, husband and I built up an appetite and decided to have brunch at this spot. Service was excellent. Hostess was friendly and our waitress was also friendly and attentive. The coffee here is great, no after taste or harsh bitter taste. They have a huge variety of breakfast and lunch options on their menu. When we went, they also had a seasonal fall menu. I was instantly sold when I saw pumpkin apple waffles. It was sweet, delicious, and fluffy just how I like my waffles. Also came with bacon and eggs. No extra charge for egg whites! I also had to get a cup of their soup. They had elk stew so I wanted to try it and it did not disappoint! It hit the spot on a chilly day. Very peppery flavor, it reminded me of something my nana use to make when I was a kid so it also brought back memories. I recommend this spot if you're in Estes Park :)

    The service was great and we didn't have to wait for a table. They were very attentive and our food came out relatively quickly, especially considering how busy they were. There were a lot of vegetarian options available. The coffee is only okay and my food was a little under seasoned. The Cajun tofu lacked spice but was the perfect texture (which many places get wrong). All in all a good breakfast/lunch place with something for everyone.

The shop sits on Elkhorn Ave, kind of the Main Street of Estes. It has a front and back entrance, if you'd like to walk along the river to get there. There's a large public parking lot across the street as well. The barista made the cutest latte art for us! But it wasn't just appearance. The oat milk lattes were as delicious as they were beautiful! We tried some lattes at Inkwell yesterday, and Kind today. Kind was easily better, 10/10! It's a clean and cute shop. Good selection of coffee and breakfast and light lunch options. Also a small merch section - mugs, tees, coffee cups and canisters. We tried the salmon and cream cheese bagel with capers yesterday for lunch and they were great. My husband preferred the jalapeño cheddar bagel, while I was happy with the everything bagel. But the lattes were the real standout for me. The line was longest at lunch out of our visits, but it moved very quickly! The baristas were very welcoming and nice as well!

Right outside Rocky Mountain National Park, and directly across from their main outpost, Bird & Jim. This place serves it all: coffee, smoothies, breakfast, baked goods, pizza, salads, soups, wraps, etc. Each menu varies depending on the time of day obviously. 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!

It was that good the first time that we decided to come back and do it all over again the next day. Parking is somewhat limited, but we arrived early on weekday mornings and had no trouble finding a spot. The restaurant is charming from the outside, with a colorful "Greetings from Estes Park" old postcard mural that makes for a great photo opportunity. Inside, the atmosphere is modern yet cozy, and both days we were lucky enough to snag a window booth. Our first experience set the tone right away. We walked in just as a server was arriving for her shift. Noticing nobody was at the host stand, she seated us before even putting away her personal belongings. That's customer service. For breakfast, I ordered a special that I can't seem to find on the menu now--an Eggs Benedict with pulled pork. I debated swapping the greens for potatoes but decided to be healthy. To my surprise, the dish was served on crispy potato pancakes instead of an English muffin, which meant I got the best of both worlds. The combination was fantastic, and honestly, I think Eggs Benedict works even better on potato pancakes than on bread. Every bite was packed with flavor. The next morning, I made myself try something different, even though I was tempted to order the same thing again. I chose the Cambridge Skillet: smoked ham and bacon with jack and cheddar cheeses over seasoned ranch potatoes, topped with two over-easy eggs and creamy hollandaise. It was delicious and hearty, although my first day's breakfast still edged it out as my favorite. I also sampled my friend's whole wheat blueberry pancake. It was enormous and surprisingly flavorful. I especially appreciated that many of their sweeter breakfast options come with eggs and a choice of bacon or sausage. It's a nice balance and makes for a more satisfying meal. The food, service, and atmosphere were consistently excellent on both visits. The Egg of Estes quickly became one of our favorite breakfast spots in Estes Park, and it's definitely somewhere we'll return on future trips.
