ROOT HOUSE coffee + shop

There was a line out the door when we got there around 11am, but it went by pretty fast. Waited about 15 minutes or so for everything to come out. Interestingly, the food came out before the drinks, but I assume it’s because everyone orders drinks. We ordered the chicken salad on a croissant, open faced bagel and southwestern quiche for food, and the mocha, latte and dark chocolate frappe for drinks. The chicken salad and quiche were my favorites; the curry flavor on the chicken salad wasn’t as strong when eaten inside of the croissant while the southwestern flavors from the beans and peppers was just a classic spin on a traditional quiche. The dark chocolate frappe tasted a lot more like a mocha frappe in my opinion. It definitely had a coffee flavor in it, but considering it’s a coffee house, it was a pleasant surprise.

I just love this place 💛 The staff is very pleasant. We seemed to time it perfectly as there was no line, but one quickly formed. It would have been worth the wait. I had a lovely mocha and my friend was very pleased to get a proper chai tea ☕️ I had a croissant 🥐 breakfast sandwich that was so good, my friend had the sw quiche and we split the spinach/feta kolache 😋 Bought a small bag of the dark roast, which they ground there for me. Something to note 📝 with current construction 🚧 in town it is not obvious how to get here. You cannot turn on 5th, you have to turn into what seems like a parking lot road and go down and around a metal building to get to their backside parking, just fyi 👍🏻

Get ready to have some whiplash and your bangs blown back! This coffee shop is one for the books. Might have a line but well worth the wait. Hung out and did some CDT planning. The store/gift shop is awesome and the coffee is amazing! #root

Easy 5 stars. Excellent coffee in fact one of the best espresso drinks I’ve had in CO. The concept is amazing as well. Quite and cozy.

Yummy Chai Tea Latte and their little shop has some fun choices for gifting. The HU hazelnut Chocolate is delicious. A fun stop while you’re visiting The Hot Springs or Pagosa.

The latte I had was next level good. I'm always a little apprehensive when trying new coffee but this place did not disappoint. Will definitely be back. The aesthetic is great too!
I also had a delicious slice of lemon cake.

This coffee shop was a nice little stop for coffee. They had a number of things on the menu that were marked as sold out, but I enjoyed my iced latte. The roast is darker than some but good flavor. Nice selection of gifts in the shop as well.

Cute little coffee shop with lots of gluten free options. I chose a banana cinnamon gf muffin and my husband opted for a cinnamon roll. They were both GIANT and nice and warm! The only downside is that they were out of a lot of food options.

My daughter told me about this coffee shop, so I had to go by and check it out for myself, while we were on vacation in Colorado from San Antonio, Texas. The first visit, I had a Carmel macchiato with an extra shot, it was soooo good and the flavor, wow!, soooo much better than the Starbucks version. The second visit, I had a drip coffee and it was soooo good too! I just love the flavor of the coffee beans they use.
I got a bag of the Backwoods Roast, for my daughter to use in her home espresso machine! Great coffee Shop! Such a cozy atmosphere also!

Austin roots, Colorado home - we had the mocha and split the open face bagel after a dip in the hot springs. It’s a short walk across the bridge from the resort at Pagosa so we went back for the lemon blueberry muffin. Yum!
