Love this spot next to the gondola! They make delicious (and expensive) coffee and teas and always have a lovely selection of tasty sweet treats. Friendly baristas. Picnic tables are nearby if you want to sit. I come here daily on skis to take a break when I’m in town.

I understand this shop is fighting the suffocating costs of running a food business in a remote ski town. And I find myself always wanting to support locals and my friends working here. But I really find the portions to be insulting and find it hard to justify $20 for a miniature burrito and an 8 ounce chai.

Cute little “mobile” coffee shop right at the base of the lift, went on a very picturesque, cold and snowy day and got some good drinks, if you like a spicy chai, this is your go to. My Lone Ranger latte was good as well, the pastries were ok, a little hard, could be due to the very cold temp that day, but probably could’ve done

Good coffee but not to much pastries

High quality coffee drinks served right at the entrance to the Telluride Gondola. Reasonably priced and the latte I got was super tasty. Also had breakfast burritos and baked goods (some of which were vegan and delicious). Friendly staff. Great place to grab a cup of joe before jumping on the

As someone who lives and works in Telluride I’m so grateful for Coffee Cowboy! It’s my favorite! The baristas are always so warm and friendly and even when they’re really busy, the line never takes too long and the coffee always tastes amazing! I love the creative coffee flavors (Cinnabliss Latte is my fav!) and their burritos and pastry selection. If you’re a tourist or a local, make sure this is on the top of your list to start of your morning or a mid-day pick up! Oh and my weenie dog Theo loves the pup cups ;)Vegetarian options: Vegetarian burritos and pastries. Variety of non-dairy milks as well for vegans

The cutest little coffee shop nestled right next to the gondola station. Vibes are great, the employees are so sweet, and the coffee is good. I like the Annie Oakley :)

The girl was so rude and told me she put 2 shots of espresso when there was clearly 1 and it was mostly ice and whole milk. I asked for honey and it was all stuck to the side of the cup. horrible experience wouldn’t go

So nice, we had it twice! This was honestly my favorite stop in telluride. The friendliest staff, the best location, and of course the best coffee! It's literally right outside of one of the gondolas so after a ride down from mountain village you can grab a delish iced coffee. The river is also nearby so you can sip and stroll on your tasty bev. Tbh, Can't wait to come back to telluride to have it again!

My first visit to this charming little airstream coffee shop was great! I had an iced Annie Oakley. As someone who doesn't typically favor sweet drinks, I really liked this one! It was not overly sweet, which I appreciate. I was a little nervous when I saw the barista pouring the espresso for my drink and my husbands iced latte from a jug, rather than using an espresso machine. She might just cold brew instead of real espresso, I don't know. But thankfully, it did not impact the drinks, we both loved ours so much we wanted to come back. However, our second experience was not good. The posted hours on the shop's window said that it closes at 2:30. We were in line at 2:10. The barista served the group in front of us, but then shut the window in our faces and turned the sign to closed without any explanation at 2:15.
