Our barista, Nat, made excellent flat whites. A coffee shop for people who enjoy a well crafted espresso beverage, not sugar. Our son’s vanilla steamer was delicious as well!

Paul Sip

Great coffee shop coffee was good. Only thing I would like different is maybe a few homemade flavor options or heavy cream

Kristyn Wade

Great coffee, shot was extracted a little short but they were in a huge Saturday rush so I understand it’s hard to keep the espresso dialed in. Baristas are so nice. Please tip them always!

I just ordered the most delicious maple sage latte of my life. Just most delicious latte of my life, the fact that it’s maple sage is an extra benefit and the vegan burrito insanely delicious. Cannot recommend enough.

Sydney Thompson

The staff at The Perk were so kind! I got the maple sage latte and the banana chocolate chip bread, both were great! Loved the music, and great service:))

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a charming coffee shop in Winter Park, Colorado, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The decor beautifully blends rustic mountain charm with modern touches, creating a cozy yet vibrant space perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The menu is a coffee lover's dream! They offer a wide variety of coffee drinks, from classic espresso to unique seasonal specials that showcase local flavors. I opted for their signature latte, and it was simply divine. The barista crafted it with such care, and the rich, smooth flavor combined with just the right amount of sweetness was a delightful experience. They also have an impressive selection of teas and pastries, which are freshly baked daily. I couldn't resist trying a blueberry muffin, and it was bursting with flavor – moist, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. What truly sets this coffee shop apart is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee. They took the time to chat with me about the different blends and even offered recommendations based on my preferences. It’s clear that they care about creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through the door. Overall, my visit to this coffee shop in Winter Park was a highlight of my trip. I left feeling energized, satisfied, and eager to return. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for an unforgettable coffee experience!

Such a cool shop with friendly folks. Beautiful view of the mountains and yummy coffee + burritos! Perfect place to recharge in Winter Park.

Great espresso (and non-espresso) drinks, very friendly people working here. Solid baked goods options, and they have bonfire burritos available for grab and go.

Dennis Hickey

A great place to hang out. Not large but perfect for a couple or individual. The coffee is good, with a solid flavor, and depth. Love the atmosphere surrounded by quality gear, trinkets, and swag for hikers. Jason the server was awesome. I'm from Austin, I lived in France for 20 years, I've been drinking espressos, lattes, and all the other combinations for almost 40 years. Trust me, I know, coffee. My latte was an 8 out of 10 in my book. Try it, I know I will be back whenever I am in the area. I hope it has a long history

The peppermint mocha was one of the best ones I've had . The cold brew was also very tasty, fast and friendly. I'll definitely return.

I really enjoy this place but I’m very sad that The Trailhead store that used to share this space closed this location! I never failed to find bargains and stuff that i simply needed here!

Paul Galloway

Good coffee, service and breakfast burritos. Nice relaxed ambience. Expensive outdoor clothing shop also in here. So you can imagine the type of people that browse. But the staff were very down to earth.

Daniel Herschwinn

Unique and Delicious drinks AND I can shop for ski gear! Pics are a Cappuccino and a Mocha

I’ve done a lot of traveling and tasted *a lot* of coffee… but when I say this is my favorite coffee in the world, I mean it literally. Nat made us the BEST half decaf americano and several almond milk lattes for my husband over a year ago now, and to this day, we talk about coming back to Winter Park just to visit this place! The coffee is incredible, but the people make it taste even better. such a blessing!

Simple coffee grab and go inside of a retail store specializing in expensive mountain attire. There is a small sitting area with couches, chairs and a bar with stools. The pastries looked yummy and they had a good menu for coffee drinks and tea. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito togo, took a bit of time to warm up. Baristas we’re fine if a little lifeless for being in a mountain town during peak tourist season.

Craft coffee shop that roasts in house. Minus a star as they do not provide straws. The taste and experience is sub optimal drinking through a lid. Moreover China is the origin or plastic pollution in the ocean, not the straw for my iced latte. Good thing I keep a glass straw handy as a backup.
