Red Buffalo Coffee & Tea
358 Blue River Pkwy, Vail, CO
Crema's Take
“This locally rooted Vail spot earns serious love from regulars who rave about meticulously crafted lattes and thoughtful house-made syrups like lavender and vanilla, paired with standout pastries like their Asiago bagel. The owner's hands-on presence and genuinely welcoming staff create that rare coffee shop warmth where people linger for the community just as much as the espresso, though be aware that execution can be inconsistent depending on the day. With a bring-your-own-mug discount and a menu spanning specialty drinks to full breakfast, it's the kind of place Summit County coffee lovers actually make their favorite.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The service was amazing. Super friendly. And the coffee was very intentional. The hot latte I got had an amazing taste. Great spot.
I stopped in here after going to Enzas Deli next door(which was amazing) and got a Raspberry Mocha. It was delicious and tasted like I was eating a Raspberry Dark chocolate truffle. I would definitely recommend this place.
I’ve never had bad coffee before but this was pretty bad.. breakfast sandwich tasted frozen and stale. Won’t be back
