City on a Hill Coffee & Espresso

Low key coffee and sandwich shop. 4 stars because they are consistent year after year and deliver what they promise. Not fancy, not pretentious. Small mountain town casual, slightly funky vibe. Always nice, outgoing patrons and stuff. We make sure we grab a drink and a bite here every time we are in the area.

Eh, not my go to place anymore since it has become a tourist trap. I’m pretty sure the muffin I had recently wasn’t baked all the way. Very hit or miss as of lately. Baristas could’ve been friendlier too. But I get it if they are catering to out of towners all day. Check your baked goods! :/

The absolute best espresso-based drinks you’re gonna find in Leadville, and open early. Staff wasn’t particularly kind, the vibes were off. Maybe bc their line was out the door for hours? (Not because they’re slow, just a lot of people). Good music and decor though? I went in twice, the first time for just a drip coffee, the second time for food and a coffee refill. Got charged full price for refill at the counter, a dollar difference, and… idk I just wish they wouldn’t have done me like that. Chorizo burrito sounded good, but was far less than bangin’. The ingredients, including the red salsa, just tasted like stuff you buy in industrial sizes if that makes sense. Only $8 though.

This is a great spot. Delicious baked goods. Excellent coffee shop vibes. Breakfast burritos and a lunch menu as well. Sweet wood carvings of the Colorado fourteeners. We love this place. My kids loved the bakery goodies as well.

Over priced, low quality. Cold brew was so bitter I couldn't drink it. The half and half on the counter was 3 days past expiration date. When I asked to switch my cold brew for an iced tea, losing money, they were unfriendly and could care less. GF carrot cake is good.. just hoping it is GF.

We usually have a good experience here, but this morning the guy had zero customer service. Don’t need a lot, just a hello and a smile could be nice. But got zero. Didn’t listen to espresso drink order and it tastes horrible. Thumbs down today. For $29. Not good start for the day:(

It was fantastic! I remember getting a hot chocolate and it was perfect temperature, with the exactly perfect consistency, and the perfect amount of whipped cream. The staff was very nice and it was a perfect little cafe. If i ever go back to Leadville, i will come back to this cafe.

Great experience! Long line during “Boom Day Fest,” but well worth the wait! Coffees cannot be beat, delicious quiche…and that chorizo burrito, OMG!

Adorable little coffee shop with neat 14er sculptures and art for sale. The coffee is 🙌

My buddy and I absolutely enjoyed this space, which was a pleasure when you consider how wholesome Leadville is altogether. On top of their coffee being really good, I had an amazing sandwich (I want to say it was turkey and pesto?) that really did me well. On top of the food and coffee, this place was just absolutely nice to sit in- very pleasing atmosphere, not too crowded but also having enough accommodations to feel out different parts of the room.
