Kind Coffee

We loved this place. A good vibe and even better coffee at a great price! I had the Avalanche and I will definitely get it again before we leave. It was amazing. My boyfriend got the Caramello and he really enjoyed his as well! We will definitely make sure to stop in every time we are in town!

I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful place to drink coffee, or better coffee to drink in a place so beautiful. Our unique, flavorful Mexican mochas weren’t too heavy or too sweet — the flavors were well balanced and made for a tasty morning treat. We sat outside by the rushing river and sipped our coffee with joy. Love!

We were in Estes for a friends wedding and I was craving a soy chai latte. As much as possible, we support local places anywhere we go so Kind Coffee was our place to go.
The store is cute with lots of little items to peruse while you wait. The wait was a bit for my drink but we were in no real rush. The drink came out and it was a great cup of chai.

This a great coffee shop right on the river! They have awesome selections for both their drinks and their food with plenty of space to sit in and outside. Coffee and non coffee lovers alike will find something to enjoy at this cute place.

Cute coffee shop with a lot of variety not only for coffee but for sitting areas and views. We enjoyed our coffee sitting at a back counter watching chipmunks play by the creek.

This is a friend’s favorite coffee shop so I had some pretty high expectations… they were shattered. At first, everything seemed cool, the lady that took my order was really nice, the space was cute and inviting, and had lots of tchotchkes to look at, the coffee came quickly and the prices were good.
I ordered a special request, that isn’t so special cuz as I ordered it the chick at the register even said, «I was just about to ask you about that» However, when I got the order, it was wrong. When I took it back, the chick behind the espresso machine told me that my special order was completed to her satisfaction, and I should probably know that this is the way THEY do things, and maybe I might want to-​I didn’t even let her finish! I let her know with as sweet a smile I could this is DEFINITELY the last time I will be there.
You can’t have an almond joy mocha, and then tell me light foam on a cappuccino is the wrong way to make it, and insist that a cup FULL of foam is «light». Get over yourself.
Also, the coffee was barely passable, not exactly gotta go back. I love my friend, but we do not agree on coffee!

Good coffee. Wonderful cozy atmosphere. Beautiful location right on the river. Can’t go wrong.

This is our go-​to every time we hit Estes on the way into the park. I always get Chai Tea Latte… other day (back home in Ft Collins) hubby and I hit (another VERY popular coffee shop), and I order what I always get at Kind– husband took a sip and said «Ugh! What is it?»
I told him it’s the same thing that I get at Kind– thinking he was being funny– he said «well– don’t order it here again– stick to their coffee!»

Fantastic quick breakfast and great coffee to start our day in RMNP! Had the bacon burrito naked… delicious!

Kind coffee is an amazing cappuccino with a great philosophy. I love to browse among the kindness items and local artwork while I wait for my coffee. Get the gift card to earn a discount if you are a repeat customer. Good atmosphere inside, they also have patio seating outside by the river for the warmer days.

Okay, I wish I lived near this coffee store. I went on a trip to Estes Park, and stumbled into this coffee store. The place is so cute, lots of places to sit and the people who work there are amazingly nice.
My first visit, I got the almond joy mocha– delicious and homemade whipped cream! My brother got the Mexican mocha and he loved it. Later in the day, we came back after shopping in town and the owner gave us drinks on the house since we had so many bags from shops in the area and it made her happy. That was really sweet. I tried the chai then and it blew Starbucks away– spicy, just the way I like it! Oh– check out the shops on that street, such wonderful and unique things.
The next morning I tried the s’mores latte… YUM. Excellent mix of chocolate, marshmallow, etc. I also tried the Caremello latte– caramel and vanilla, delicious. They use organic coffee and I loved it so much it was my go to coffee for the whole trip. I hope there’s a way to buy their beans online!

I came here with a group of girls and ordered a gluten free pumpkin cake. The cake was fine and the coffee shop was cute. Unfortunately, the people who work here are not very kind. False advertising, eh? Anyways, we all thought the staff here were rude.

Ordered a spiced chai tea while roaming around and it was fantastic. Very spicy! I prefer this over the starbucks option for sure!

Always a must stop when in Estes. Super cozy little location tucked away at the end of one of the Estes shop strips, some parking, but if its full, just park across the street. Elk have no problem crossing the road here, so neither should you. Always super friendly staff with a smile, and they work hard. It tends to be 2 people on staff and even in the rush they rock out orders and keep the energy upbeat. They have a great selection of little snacks and café items, bagels are always yummy, try the apple cream cheese, glorious. I tend to get a espresso drink, of which they have many curious and creative recipes, so go crazy and try something new out. Super fun novelty items around the store too, and I always love ending or starting my trips up in the Rockies with a cup of joe, one of the chairs outside, and the sound of the creek running by. Thanks for being awesome!

Kind Coffee is a sweet little joint tucked away in an otherwise nondescript commercial center in Estes Park. Nestled right next to the creek, Kind Coffee is a welcome break from the typical tourist spot in downtown Estes. (They also supply the coffee every year to Cheley Camp on parents’ weekend… a life saver now two years in a row!)
The coffee is excellent, the service friendly, though a bit slow when busy, and they have a nice selection of coffee doo-​dads in their gift area. Parking can be tough (thus the 4 stars), but worth it.
Stop in at Kind… you’ll be pleasantly rewarded!

I wish there were a three and a half star. I really, really wanted to love this place as the employees were super nice, the space was adorable, they had plenty of comfy seating inside, and amazing waterfront /​creek side benches out in the back.
But… I am very sorry to say we got a drip coffee and an americano, and neither was very good.
They were not horrible, just not anything better than maybe a McDonald’s coffee. Maybe I had set my hopes too high, but I was super disappointed.
If I were in the area again I’d definitely give them another try because the place really is so cute and cozy, but I’d hope for a much better tasting cup of coffee.

This place is adorable and peaceful. I got a large hazelnut iced coffee and the oatmeal with 3 toppings it was just under $ 8.
I don’t mind paying that for this environment :))

What a great place to get a cup of coffee! They do it all themselves and it is delicious! Don’t bother with the Starbucks down the street, this is the place you want to be!
So grab a cup, add a bagel or a breakfast sandwich and have a seat by the water outside… It’s a great way to start your day!

I loved everything about Kind Coffee. If I could pick it up and move it to Indiana that would be perfect! I had a dirty chai with an extra shot of espresso and it was like winter/​fall spices in a cup. It definitely hit the spot that chilly morning! I also ordered a wheat bagel with apple cinnamon cream cheese. I don’t know what they do to their cream cheese, but it was amazing!
I so loved that Kind Coffee is so environmentally friendly. They encourage reducing (returning your Java jackets when you’re finished), reusing refillable mugs, and recycling your water cups.

Beautiful view and cozy atmosphere! I picked up a coffee and a delicious gluten free chocolate zucchini bread– make sure to snatch one up, they’re in wrappers by the register. The girl at the counter was fairly nice.
