Inkwell & Brew

What a cute little coffeehouse and store. They have a gorgeous patio on the backside!

They are very slow. Even when not busy. Bar espresso work/efficiency is abysmal. They don’t time their pour overs and forgot to finish a pot and it come out over extracted due to length of time and repouring. Espresso “double shots” are really 1.5, if that. The barista was not dumping the full pull into the cup. I’ll be back and take pictures and video of their poor food and drink Handling practices too. I was grossed out. They stop to chat with their friends while taking orders and making drinks. Which slows them down even more.

I've been going to Inkwell & Brew since it opened and it's by far my favorite coffee shop and paper place. They have a great selection on cards, journals, and pens, and their staff are super friendly. They also have some tasty treats and great coffee and teas. Whenever I have friends visiting Estes, I always bring them by. If you're visiting Estes Park, Inkwell & Brew is a must.

Great bottomless coffee for $1.50. The espresso drinks are delicious. They have something for coffee snobs and "coffee" drinkers alike.

What a perfect spot in Estes park. The coffee was excellent and the food/baked goods were delicious too. Great selection of notebooks, crafts, pens etc to browse while you wait. Go early on busy days-it gets crowded!

Really adorable little cafe/stationary shop in Estes Park that offers a great selection of gifts, cards, and other writing-relating wares. Sadly, the coffee portion of the store is not quite up to par and there really is nowhere to sit except for a small area upstairs that has seating for just a few people. Still a lovely place for browsing but for coffee, I'd humbly recommend going to another coffee-focused establishment.

A favorite spot to hit whenever we make a trip to Estes Park! Definitely recommend!

Such a great place to relax after a long hike or just to hang out. They have a cozy seating area upstairs with a little library and board games!
+ very good quality coffee

The drinks here were incredible, not to mention what an amazing location in front of the river. We were there close to closing time and not only were the workers still super busy, they also took their time to be friendly and give us some recommendations of places around and even take some photos for us when they thought we looked cute. Will be coming back here every single time I'm in town.

What a great local spot! I picked up some handmade cards and I wish I would’ve made it upstairs a little bit earlier but I needed to get back to the dog. Huge selection of journals and papers and I’ve got my Christmas gift to myself picked out ahead of time :-) Kevin was incredibly hospitable. Great space on the river.
