Crema's Take
“This roastery cafe is known for its ceremonial-grade matcha and thoughtfully sourced espresso drinks, plus an unexpectedly great selection of loose-leaf tea that locals actually buy by the ounce. The space has real staying power—think a giant backgammon board, solid pastries, and staff who seem genuinely glad you're there—making it work equally well for a quick $2 drip coffee with free refills or a long afternoon of reading. If you're in Vail and want something beyond the typical ski town cafe, this is legitimately worth the stop.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu.

Excellent coffee! We stayed up the road in Minturn for a few days so this place was convenient to source some ground coffee. While there I got a breakfast burrito (frozen and reheated) which was above average. The freshly brewed drip coffee really hit the spot and the ground…
