COFFEE LAB: A Cozy Oasis in the Heart of the Gothic Research Area
Nestled within the Gothic research area, where scientists flock to study the captivating ecology each summer, COFFEE LAB stands as a welcoming oasis. This rustic-looking coffee shop boasts an excellent homey ambiance, providing a delightful respite for visitors after a hot hike up Rustlers Gulch. The journey to the shop is just as delightful, with a mesmerizing road that adds to the overall experience, making it a must-visit for coffee lovers and those seeking a scenic adventure.
The staff at COFFEE LAB are talkative and kind, ensuring a wonderful experience for guests. They offer great employment opportunities to student workers in REU or education programs. The coffee menu is impressive, with the nitro cold brew receiving high praise for its smooth and delicious flavors. Coffee Lab serves incredibly delicious local coffee, with options like iced latte with hazelnut and Wildflower iced latte, both described as tasty. While not the top choice in Crested Butte, the coffee quality and variety are outstanding for the price point, complemented by the charming atmosphere.
Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but the location's proximity to the beautiful East River Valley hikes makes it a popular spot. COFFEE LAB also caters well to dietary restrictions and vegan/vegetarian preferences, ensuring a comfortable experience for all.
