    Cute in Idaho springs give me the caffeine baby! What a cute little coffee shop come here on Miner street

    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!

    Daybreak smoothie

    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!

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

    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

    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
    Stephanie C.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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!

    10/10 from the service to the coffee! They were so nice! They start by asking you what you like to help you pick something from the extensive menu they offer! They explain everything they sell and are so sweet!!! This coffee was delicious LOVE IT! They also make the whip cream in house! So yummy

Communal style tables, a mini book store, attached to a wine bar. This place has some attractive quirks to make it stand out from the average deli. They have a large menu with sandwiches, wraps, and all day breakfast. I think next time I'd stick with breakfast! 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!

There were folks waiting to be seated before, during and after our meal. They greeted us along with everyone else waiting and managed to get us all seated fairly fast. Orders looks amazing as they were brought out and the buzz of happy customers chatting together filled the air. This place is quite the brunch stop and there is lots to look at, as you wait. They have baked goods, cocktails, nick knacks to take away with you, and a very cool red sofa to settle into, if you need to wait for seating. We saw homemade jams, pickled peppers, and freeze dried candies to temp you. Need something quick to take on your hike - they've got you covered here too. We came in with breakfast on our minds and weren't disappointed. Everything was fresh, made to order and plated really well. Zero complaints. Just wish we lived closer!

I met up with a friend and we were immediately seated. Things felt rushed and hectic, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly crowded. They have so many delicious-sounding things on their menu, and we were fortunately just in time for lunch because I was specifically craving their BLTA. SO good!! My second option would have been their Italian Sandwich. My friend didn't enjoy the soup or sandwich he got, which is a bummer. I'd come back again, though. They also sell baked goods, and I was tempted to get some before leaving. Next time! According to other Yelpers, their Grilled Cheese is amazing so I'm adding that to my list of things to try. Parking is never really super challenging in Georgetown (yet) so take advantage and support this local business next time you drive by.
