If you need coffee in Estes Park, get yourself to The Red Cup. For real.
The shop is adorable with a huge selection of paper goods and kitschy signs and magnets. I got an iced coffee but also tried my first Cuban Cortado. Holy cow! This coffee was made with love, and that's all there is to it. There's no rush to make the coffee as quickly as possible. Because of that, there's not a burnt taste or an acidic taste to it. This place just has great coffee in a beautiful location.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 39422864266Jul 22, 2012
Yep another fabulous local coffee spot! I was in major need of caffeination when in Estes Park a few weekends ago and so happy I stumbled upon this place! It's tucked away in the corner of the paper store which is a perfect because I had to pick up some birthday cards. While the boy working the counter made my latte, I perused the cards and jammed out to the Radiohead they had playing through the store. I thought it was a great experience but then I took a sip of my latte which bumped it up to a fantabulous experience as it was one of the best $3 lattes I've ever had in my life.

Ahhhh so wonderful.
I loved sitting upstairs, with the classical music playing, looking out at the changing aspens, enjoying a latte, while doing some work on my lap top. It was a tremendously pleasant experience. I loved all the products in the store as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Roseann M.Chicago, IL168637242Sep 6, 2011
Love this place. Love it, love it, love it.
Love the retail items. Love the coffee. Love the treats. Love the seats by the fireplace and the addtional seating upstairs. Love the neighborhood. Love the counter staff. Love all the cool crap they sell. Love the walls. Love it all.
We visited three times during our recent visit to Estes Park, and this place was a retail highlight. Anybody who wanders the streets of this small town, or who wears out their hiking boots on the trails, needs to stop by Longs Peak for coffee, a piece of pie, and all the good energy this place supplies. Plus, all the cards and postcards are uber-cool too.
Did I mention that I really love this place?Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Amanda M.Zürich, Switzerland11649155590Aug 6, 2011
I had an excellent experience here!!!!
I'm kind of a dummy when ordering coffee. Generally I'll just say "I want something sweet" or "something chocolaty sounds good". Anyway, I went up to the counter and asked for something sweet. The friendly girl at the counter said I didn't have to order something in particular and that she could just whip something up for me. She charged me about $2.50 for a 16oz, most prices on the board were in the $3 range for 16oz so I thought that was nice.
There were also cute things for sale around the place. I found a card that I decided to buy.
The girl made my drink quicky and sure enough, it was super duper sweet!
This place has very good service, very nice people and very cool things!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - J R.Colorado Springs, CO525Mar 30, 2013

Note the building is behind shops on the road. House blend is good however Pre-made/self serve so make sure te batch is fresh.

Early June, 2011: Lovely location and building. Good coffee and yummy peach pie. Per another review, I took my coffee up to the second floor while the salesperson put on some classical music for me : )
Upstairs, there are some easy chairs, booths, and tables and chairs as well as games, including chess, surrounded by windows, skylights, art supplies, and posters.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Carole C.Running Springs, CA779202Jun 5, 2011
Totally chill place to hang & have a cup of coffee, read & enjoy the river.
Small, intimate and quiet, this is a great little coffee house.
It may be a bit hard for the folks that are non-familiar with the Riverwalk area, as it is on the backside of Main Street's strip. Away from the traffic noise and soothed with the rushing river's song. Inside is cozy and comfortable.
Bonus information:
We were visiting from out of town & staying at a local cabin for the week. Sadly we ran out of coffee two nights before we were to leave.
Oh, the horror!!!!
Luckily we found Longs Peak Coffee via Yelp. The gentleman in charge of caffeine allocations was nice enough to sell us just enough to get us through the next day & our departure morning.
Holy Jumpin Jehoshaphat - what the?? I think we got the special caffeine bonus. Freshly ground, super octane and delish. Wow, This coffee rocks!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
