Rocky Mountain Coffee Roasters
285 E Main St, Vail, CO
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Vail with consistently excellent espresso drinks and a warm, welcoming crew, Rocky Mountain Coffee Roasters feels like the kind of place where regulars actually matter and baristas remember your order. Beyond the exceptional lattes and cold brew, their full breakfast and brunch menu—think fresh bagels, breakfast burritos, and eggs done right—makes it worth lingering on the outdoor patio, especially when there's a DJ spinning records from the neighboring record store next door.”

I just had a pastry and a large matcha. The staff welcomed me as soon as I walked through the door, which made a great first impression. The lattes are well-priced, and everything tasted great. I’ll definitely be back again!
Iced vanilla almond milk late is so good. This place was super busy on a Sunday morning but it was worth the wait! We got bagels and burritos. Would recommend!!!
We went to this place for brunch on Christmas. Our server, Lily, was very nice and answered all of our questions. We ordered two eggs with bread and hash browns, as well as grilled cheese with tomato soup. The food was delicious. However, the drinks were mediocre — the coffee, latte, and mocha were just okay.
We stopped in and ordered a cold brew, everything bagel with plain cream cheese and a strawberry banana smoothie. The demeanor changed when I clicked no tip. Didn’t say thank you, it will be right up, nothing. Who’s to say I wasn’t going to tip cash? I don’t tip anywhere where I am taking it to go, so nothing against this coffee shop. The guy behind me ordered a breakfast sandwich and tipped. To each their own, however I have a problem with the customer service. The two men that ordered behind me both got breakfast sandwiches and got it before my bagel and cream cheese. Which is easier than a breakfast sandwich in my opinion. And believe that it took that long because I didn’t tip. So we waited till ours was ready but it made me not want to come back. The bagel was good, coffee was good (wish they would have stirred it as the syrup was at the bottom of the cup) and smoothie was good.
I really enjoyed my coffee! There was a dj playing outside from the record store next door, and the Argentinian guys working there were super cool. I got an iced coconut milk latte and added some stevia. The baked goods looked incredible, and the tiny little shop is definitely a vibe. Located off of the main street but more towards the back end. Glad we stopped there for coffee!
