6 Best Cafes in Estes Park

“Pratikshya & Eric are stellar in terms of customer service. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food is here normally in these kind of environments tourist places in other words the food is generally so so I can highly recommend the Panini's and the iced coffees from my personal experience. And the bonus is, you have an awesome view of Rocky and Estes'“

“One of our favorite places to visit on our first trip to Estes Park.“

“All I can say is wow after visiting Rustic Cafe. Because of its unassuming exterior, I wasn’t expecting all too much, but I was positively blown away. Not only did the food tickle my tastebuds, but the service was exceptional as well. In particular, one worker named Abbie really went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant experience. When I was unsure of what to order, Abbie helped me explore every option available, carefully describing its flavor profile and healthiness. I eventually settled on the soft pretzel, which was decadent to say the least. When my food was ready, I mentioned that I had lost my water bottle earlier in the morning. Abbie was nothing short of apologetic, and even helped me retrace my steps, which ultimately helped me find it! However, Abbie’s unbridled kindness and commitment to customer service didn’t stop there. During this whole ordeal, I was accompanied by my 91 year old grandmother, who had been complaining endlessly about acute back pain. Abbie overheard this, and used some ingredients she had in her purse and in the cafe to mix up a special remedy. Within an hour after drinking it, my grandmother said her pain was just about cured! Overall, Abbie went beyond above and beyond to create a special and happy experience at rustic cafe. We need more Abbies in this world!“

“Bird's Nest serves OZO and has great pastries!“

“Large menu, with plenty of vegetarian options for both breakfast and lunch. \nIt took a little while for the food to arrive (subsequently, my husband's french fries were lukewarm), but the place was packed midday on a Thursday. \nThe portions were large, and the food was very good. The red pepper soup is the best I have ever had! \nIt was a little too windy to sit outside, but the views from the patio and window were amazing. (Does Estes Park have any views that aren't amazing?!)\nWould recommend.“

“Casual atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, quick seating (even with a line), and WONDERFUL food!“
