Independent coffee shops are often the perfect place to study, network, or run in for a quick cup of coffee. Many have Wi-fi available so bring your laptop to check your email or surf the internet. If you are in Winter Park, Colorado, during summer, winter, or mud season - locals and visitors will find these coffee shops offer great coffee and atmosphere.  

♦Rocky Mountain Roastery
Rocky Mountain Roastery is an independent coffee shop chain founded in Fraser, Colorado in 1993. At their two locations Rocky Mountain Roastery offers fresh hand-roasted coffee, black teas, green teas, and herbal teas. Customers are welcome to bring in their own travel mug to receive a discount to reward their environmentally friendly decision. All their coffee and teas can be purchased in bulk at both locations or online at their website.

Both coffee shops offer a variety of baked goods and pre-packaged menu items for breakfast, lunch, and light snacking. The Fraser store is the larger original store location and is where the beans are roasted daily. It has computers available for use or bring your own. You will need to purchase internet access with either method. The store itself is a quiet place to study, read, and is next door to the Alco discount store. There are plenty of tables available and it’s connected to a bicycle shop for those traveling down the nearby Winter Park to Granby bike path.

The Winter Park coffee shop location is in the strip mall next to Cosmic Dog Mexican Grill. While the store is smaller than the Fraser location, the staff is just as friendly. The menu items are the same as the Fraser location. If you are looking for something hot to drink without caffeine, try the herbal teas. The Berry Patch herbal tea is bursting with flavor. The tea bags are extra large so brewing one in an extra large cup size will not dilute the flavor. A variety of sweeteners are available for use.
