The Frothy Cup
1510 Miner St, Vail, CO
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Vail, The Frothy Cup is a beloved local institution where ski day pit stops and mountain adventures converge over expertly crafted espresso drinks and their legendary house-made whipped cream. The charm lies in its vintage living room atmosphere—complete with upholstered seats and grandmother's kitchen tables—paired with genuinely excellent seasonal specialties, fresh bagels, and cookies that inspire the kind of loyalty that keeps regulars coming back for years. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a perfectly pulled pour over or settle in with a family-friendly vibe that feels distinctly Colorado.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Absolutely loved their iced Cafe latte & hot Mocha coffee. Bagels were fresh. We ordered Parmesan bagel with cream spread as well which was 5/5. Their house made Whipped cream is absolutely delicious.

Very cool shop, with tasty coffee, bagels and pastries (and probably something else I didn't notice). Lots of choices, including some seasonal, lots of people, but a cool vibe and, again, tasted so good! Also shout out to the lady in the Steelers shirt!
