    Looking towards the front door

    After coming here a number of times each experience got better and better. The rustic mountain vibes set the mood as you walk through the shop to get to the counter to order your coffee (or drink). The staff is welcoming and warm and that matches the drinks that are made! For some reason I forgot what I ordered this last time. However, I do know it warmed my soul and was not overly sweet. The best touches to a drink on a day when the weather swayed back and forth. Will return on our next trip!

    Stopped here before starting a hike. I don't drink coffee but I ordered the Day break smoothie with protein powder and a blueberry muffin. Both were delicious and everyone was so nice as I entered. They have seats and sofas which was nice and their decor was great!

    I would definitely suggest stopping by when you're in town to meet the friendly staff and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. I love the vibe of the shop.

    I got the cinnamon stinger iced latte ($7)which was a cinnamon and honey latte. Staff were friendly in giving recommendations and explaining their drinks. The inside was very nice cozy. Drinks came out in 5 minutes and it was quite good. It had a good balance of cinnamon and honey flavor while not being too sweet. I would definitely come back again! Drinks (50%): 8.3 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.0/10

    Best breakfast burrito I've ever had at a coffee shop. Great cold brew and atmosphere too. Staff is so friendly and inviting.

    The Frothy Cup is straight from a Hallmark movie. All of Idaho Springs, CO is really, but Frothy Cup really takes the cake. It's right on mainstreet of this adorable town so we decided to wander in. The inside of the shop is so cozy! The staff working was super welcoming and gave us some recommendations. I went with a frozen coffee per the staffs rec and it was SO GOOD! The one I got was called the white water rage which I think is just a blended vanilla coffee with milk. They topped it was whip cream and it tasted delicious. We also tried a blueberry muffin which was very good! I'm pretty sure I called my coffee 'heavenly' five times until my husband finally tried it and confirmed: HEAVENLY! Will be dreaming about my next visit to Idaho Springs and The Frothy Cup until I make the trip back!

    Blueberry muffin and lavender honey bee latte special

    A lovely coffee shop right in the heart of Idaho Springs. It's spacious and homey and the people are welcoming and friendly. I ordered the lavender honey bee latte special and it was incredibly delicious. The lavender was subtle and not at all perfumey as it sometimes can be and it was just the right amount of sweetness. I would happily order that every day. We tried the fresh baked blueberry muffin and it was super tasty. It does have a hint of lemon though (which my husband didn't like that much), but I loved it. A must stop whenever we're in Idaho Springs.

    First time at this coffee shop in Idaho Springs and had a decent experience. Felt very homey inside and had tons of coffee/pastry options. Got an iced vanilla latte and a smothered breakfast burrito, both were pretty good I do wish there was more sour cream on the burrito though as they put the smallest dollop possible. (Sour cream is cheap too, don't be stingy! Lol) I think this would have been a 4 or 5 star experience if not for the barista at the front. She was having trouble opening the pastry case and was being very loud and aggressive opening it. Seems to me they need to take a look and fix the case. We also saw her kill a fly with her bare hands and that was after we got our food. Maybe buy a fly swatter instead? I left there thinking that I hope she washed her hands afterwards before she dealt with more customers.

    Turns out if you're driving to Steamboat from Denver and need great coffee with a side of Korean catholic nuns, The Frothy Cup is the perfect spot. After parking and strolling over, we were blessed to find a sweet group of Korean Catholic nuns sitting and enjoying some Java. They offered us a blessing and some recommendations on drinks. The place couldn't have been better- amazing coffee, friendly service, great pastries, a welcoming atmosphere and entertaining banter. This will be a regular stop every time I am in Idaho Springs (which is located in Colorado. Not Idaho).

    Super nice interior and had great drinks and service. However, the cookie was pretty stale. The almond joy candy bar latte and honey lavender latte (favorite of the two) were great, though

    Lavender honeybee latte
    Tiffany A.

    Came in for a quick coffee on the way up to the slopes. I love getting the chance to stop here on the way into the mountains - it's such cozy and cute coffee shop! Ended up getting one of their April specials (lavender honeybee latte) in medium size - I love lavender and this was delicious (albeit a little expensive for a latte). Also got a maple pecan danish to go - very flaky, just came out of the oven 30 minutes prior. Flavor was good but a little one dimensional, which I got a fruit one with more texture or something. Overall great stop this morning!

    Oh, what a cute little spot! Full transparency: I didn't try any coffee as it was too late in the day for me + caffeine to hang, buuut it smelled divine and it looks like they do some in-house roasting, which is usually a great sign. Instead of coffee, I had a huckleberry Italian soda (amazing) and my husband went for their homemade lemonade - v yummy, but would recommend adding one of their many syrup varieties to it if you aren't one for tart lemonade. The interior is adorable, artsy and everything I look for in a good neighborhood coffeeshop. Wide variety of table types too depending on if you're solo, on a date, or with a group. I forgot to check for outlets to comment on its work-friendliness - will happily check on that next time I'm in the area :)

CLEAR CREEK CLUB // Lightly peppered pan roasted turkey breast, shaved ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and mayo on sourdough bread. Admittedly, this is a very simple sandwich that anyone could assemble at home, but it's what I was in the mood for! However, the most disappointing aspect for me was the bread. They say it's sourdough, well it tasted like untoasted white bread...I was hungry, I powered through. When an average sandwich at best and a small drip coffee runs you $22, I have some room to question the quality of my experience. I'm grabbing the sandwich, bussing the table, getting the coffee, etc. Not running back here, especially since there are a few places in Idaho Springs I really enjoy going to. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I'd be open to giving them another shot in the future!

My husband decided that the pecan roll looked "good," and decided to try it. It was terrible. It was like chewing on rope. As another reviewer said, "this is the worst cinnamon roll I've had in my life." We totally agree. We had hoped that our previous feedback about not letting the dough rise properly might convince them to adjust their recipe, but it didn't. The roll was dense and flavorless. Part of making a yeast bread is letting the dough rise rise and letting the flavor develop. They don't do that. Previous direct feedback was met with pushback, so I'll give it here instead. This was our last time to visit Blue Moon. We'll go get a proper cinnamon roll at Butterhorn or Enza's. I'm so sorry to give this feedback again, but they just don't care. We try to support small businesses here as we live here full time, but they've lost our business for good. And the sad thing is that this single situation has turned us off of anything Blue Moon offers, so we've never even tried anything else. Others have said they like it, but since the cinnamon rolls are so bad, we've don't even come in for anything else.

They were busy when we stopped in on a Saturday morning - busier than usual because apparently the other coffee shop was closed. The staff was apologetic for the chaos but they did an awesome job holding it down! I got an iced vanilla latte, the breakfast sandwich on bagel, and a donut. The donuts are from a local baker and they were delicious! The coffee was also very good. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich but I think I didn't realize it did not automatically come with cheese. That's on me, so this is my tip to you - it's delicious and would be even better with cheese.
