“Another local favorite. Breakfast and lunch mostly. Beignets, hearty, spicy meals. In a yellow house with an outdoor patio for nice weather.”

“You may want to take a tour or just go walk around. Book tours in advance online because they sell out. This is where The Shining movie was filmed and the mountain views from here are spectacular. You will have to pay about $10 for parking but this gives you some credit at the snack shop. ”

“Excellent spot for breakfast or brunch. Definitely worth the wait. Put your name down and then walk down the street to Mugs for a good coffee. ”

“The Donut Haus has moved to the Sinclair gas station about a mile west (toward the National Park) of the old location, but don’t worry, the same folks and same recipes are still creating the classic donut magic. These donuts are an iconic part of any trip to Estes Park and the line in the summer can be long. They will close when they sell out, so get there early for the best selection. Our faves are the cheesecake cinnamon roll (a sharing size donut for sure) and the pinecones. ”

“The Coffee Tree is within walking distance (downtown) and features MANY beverage and food items. My favorite here is their chai - try it iced or hot. They have seating inside as well as outside off 4th St - this is a great place to people watch! ”
