12 Best Coffee Shops in Steamboat Springs

“I've been here twice and both times were so good! I got an espresso boba the first day and a strawberry green tea with green apple boba. My son had a waffle on a stick and loved it. I took my husband a cookie and he couldn't stop talking about it. So in general.. stop by and pick anything up, it's all amazing.“

“Beard & Braid is an absolute gem in Steamboat Springs. The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by the warm, plant-filled modern atmosphere and the rich aroma of expertly brewed coffee. Every detail—from the handcrafted espresso drinks to the house-made ice cream—feels thoughtful and elevated.

The coffee is phenomenal: smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re into pour-overs, lattes, or seasonal specials, you can taste the care and quality in every sip. And the ice cream?

“Obsessed!
My chai was dreamy and the chia seed pudding hit the spot. My husband—who’s super picky, gave his flat white a 10/10 (high praise coming from him!). Shay, our barista, was the best, hooked us up with awesome Steamboat recs and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!“

“A couple of years ago, I had an experience at the Starbucks in City Market, Steamboat, that I’ve been meaning to share. It was around 8:00 PM, right when they were closing, and I stopped in for a coffee before starting my 5 ½-hour drive. The man working there was incredibly kind. Even though he had already started cleaning the machine, he went out of his way to make me a coffee. That alone impressed me, as many places would’ve simply said, “Sorry, we’re closed.”

But what really stood out was what happened next. As I was leaving, I accidentally spilled my coffee all over. I went back in, unsure of what to expect, but he just laughed, stopped what he was doing, and made me another coffee—no hesitation, no complaints. He truly went above and beyond.

The coffee was great, but the kindness and service were what made this experience unforgettable. Five stars for going the extra mile and for creating such a special moment. I’ve been wanting to share this for a long time, so here it is. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome coffee, friendly service.“
