This coffee shop is in a great location downtown, providing seating not only inside, but outside as well, with a great view of the river. The staff is very friendly, and willingly provided great recommendations for what to try. Best of all, the coffee is great! The Long's Peak roast is great on its own, but if you're looking for...

Space to lounge, and great coffee and pastries. I was in Estes Park for a conference, and stopped twice for coffee--just a few doors down from Starbucks--keep going to Kind Coffee and you won't be disappointed.

Nice people and staff. The coffee was terrific. Very knowledgeable people on their products. We went there several times. It is in the heart of Estes Park on Elk horn Ave.

Kind Coffee should be in every town. The staff is very good, and the coffee is excellent. The breakfast breads (especially banana) were better than my homemade. I visited twice a day during my entire stay outside the RMNP, and was never disappointed.

As a local, a good coffee shop is key. We used to love Kind.... but then the employees changed and it just hasn't been the same. The bagel with lox & cream cheese is pretty tasty before a hike & they do have decent hours & typically you can grab one of the 30 minute spots if you need a... More

We always stop in for coffee or Mexican Hot Chocolate (YUM!) at Kind Coffee. They have a good selection of crazy coffee drinks and lots of little chocolate munchies and knick-knacks you can blow way too much money on in the waiting area (and there is usually a wait). Service is good but usually slow. There is a nice cozy... More

We always stop in here at least once whilst in town. Try the salmon with a bagel for a tasty after-hike snack. Really good coffee. Right on the creek with outside tables.

this is a must stop for us whenever we are up in Estes. Their Mexican mocha is the best, dare say, I've had anywhere. Support a great local business . Nice seating areas and relaxed environment.

Big step up from Starbucks. Honest coffee (all fair trade) roasted by the owners themselves. I only tried the east location so far. The breakfast burrito was great too.

I would give this place 5 stars if the coffee was a little stronger. It is a great place to get a cup and sit for a bit. It can be crowded. Unfortunately many people seem to spend entire days there and seating is limited. Nice folks, good pastry and pretty good coffee.
