Nestled in downtown Estes Park at 470 E. Elkhorn Ave, Kind Coffee is more than just your local coffee spot — it’s a community gathering spot where mountain charm meets conscious craftsmanship. Since its founding in 2002 , Kind Coffee has been dedicated to offering certified organic and fairly traded coffee beans.
With bright storefront windows overlooking Lumpy Ridge and the soothing flow of the Big Thompson River behind, the coffee shop offers both indoor seating and a riverside patio to sip, chat, or work. They pair their ethically sourced coffee with a menu of breakfast & lunch items, baked goods, and organic teas.
Kind Coffee also leans into sustainability: in-store, they offer locally baked goods, recycle rigorously, offer coffee grounds for composting, and serve drinks in compostable cups. Plus, as part of their mission, they contribute to local nonprofits and environmental causes.
Whether you’re fueling up for a hike, unwinding after a day in Rocky Mountain National Park, or just looking for a warm, welcoming space, Kind Coffee is a must-stop spot in Estes Park.
