The Story
The scent of fresh-brewed coffee mingled sweetly with creamy ice cream, a comforting welcome in the cozy, retro parlor. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating well-loved booths and the promise of a perfect scoop or a hot, hearty cup. It felt like stepping back into a simpler time, a truly delightful stop for a treat by the mountains.

Awesome coffeeshop — very, very good espresso. Jason the owner is welcoming, relaxed and smart. The place itself has lots of character: chiseled wood reliefs of mountains, original flooring and walls from 1800s, and some cool locals.

We ordered an iced matcha with almond milk and brown sugar and a hot bee's knees. Both were delicious and refreshing. Jason was welcoming and friendly. He offered us advice on where to stop when going over the pass, answered questions about the history of the town and even shared some photography. The shop is an original building from the 1800's. Scratches on the doors are from black wolves that were raised here. The floor is original and the vibe is modern and cool. It's the epitome of a small town coffee shop for both regulars and tourists.

Absolutely must stop if you’re nearby. Never thought I’d be so lucky to get this good of a matcha so close to Leadville on the way to Aspen. 10 out of 10

The Roadhouse Coffee Shop is my spot in Twin Lakes. Jason and Shay are as sweet as owner/operators can be. The coffee is always delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I like to sit on the porch looking to the Rockies across the Twin Lakes, as beautiful a view as any. I try to get some work done on my computer, but so many interesting people come to the shop that I spend most of my time listening to their hiking and traveling stories. Locals gather on Friday mornings for warm conversation and hot coffee.
