City on a Hill Coffee & Espresso

Have been stopping here for about 5 years. Food and beverage consistently crafted with care. Laid back atmosphere with approachable menu. Excellent pre or post recreation fuel stop.

The wait is absurdly long for what you get. The flow of the counter is very inefficient. Other coffee shops in town offer better quality goods on a more swift timeline. Some of the staff is also quite rude and unhelpful. Pretty salty place to start the day. Gave this place 4 chances. No thanks

This is a fantastic coffee shop with a great staff. The coffee from this place is superb, and so smooth. If you're vegan, not only do they offer non-dairy milk (oat milk), they also have several vegan baked goods to choose from. I paired my coffee with the vegan pumpkin bread several times, and it was divine. Although the unit is relatively small and narrow, it offers plenty of seating, both for work and for relaxing. The brick wall interior with hardwood floors feels cozy and rustic, yet is appointed with all the modern conveniences you'd expect. The local art featuring mountain views puts you right in the heart of Colorado country.

Baked good ($2-4) and burritos ($8) are good. If you’re just getting coffee, skip the line and bring cash to the back of the shop to the self-serve coffee station. Coffee is $2 and $1 for a refill

One of the most neat coffee shops! A true one. Opens at 6 am, all works carved wood, lots of Leadville and CO history related items on display, solid coffee drinks. Perfect!

Stop by on Thursday 8/4 to grab a latte, burrito, & muffin on the way out of town. Line was just inside the door. Waited 35min to order, waited another 15 to get food. Latte’s where so hot you could not hold the cup, muffins good but nothing to write home about & they forgot a burrito & took there time to make it right. 10 mins later finally get the second burrito, so now I’ve waited 25 mins for food. Lattes still to hot to hold. Barista needs to learn their trade, you don’t heat your milk to 220 degrees it’s 140-160. Won’t be going back it was a waste of my time & money.

Extremely rude staff, truly the kind of energy and negative environment that ruins your day. Definitely regret tipping. No one is asking for exceptional customer service, but pleasant interactions would be nice. Much better and friendlier options to check out in town like ZeroDay.

Great coffee shop for a quick drink and energizing bite before a day on the trails. We grabbed ours to go and enjoyed it sitting outside to take in the views. Staff were kind and helpful. I would definitely go back.

Coffee was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Banana bread & vegan brownies were delicious. Packed with people inside and a long line with lengthy wait time. Staff was kind of rude to say no dogs allowed even though we had been standing in line for 10 minutes at that point and had not seen any ‘no pets allowed’ signs in or outside the building.

Decent coffee and food options. We watched a staff member really argue with a patron over the correct way to order his drink which put us off a bit especially when she kept pushing the issue unnecessarily after he had already paid and the misunderstanding had been resolved.
