Off the Beaten Path Bookstore and Café

What a pleasant surprise this fantastic bookshop was in downtown Steamboat Springs! I love good bookshops and this place is amongst the very best I've encountered on my travels around the world. The range of books was astonishing and all high quality. The extensive range of books specific to the Steamboat Springs area and Colorado more generally was an absolute joy to see. The staff are very knowledgeable and just lovely people to meet. The cafe is brilliant too. These guys operate a cafe that is probably the best for many miles around. I was blessed when I decided to head into town from the ski area and my bus had an advertisement for this bookshop. Tucked away from the main street, I may not have found this place without seeing the ad. My only criticism is that this bookshop stocked books containing ridiculous conspiracy theories regarding alleged Trump "collusion" with Russia. A bookshop of this calibre should be a bit more discerning in its choice of books.

Best bookstore I've ever been to! Very inviting; coffee shop, upstairs niche with tables, etc. Lots of great books and fun gifts!

This is a fantastic independent bookstore and cafe in downtown Steamboat. They have a wonderfully curated selection of books, friendly employees, and a great selection of beverages and pastries. They even had a few gluten-free or vegan selections to choose from (the orange cranberry vegan scone was delicious!). I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in town.

Really cute store, had a short line to get in because of covid but worth it. The way they organize the books is great and I love the recommended section. So many great options. The cafe has a great selection of yummy drinks and snacks too!

This is a really nice and quaint little book store. They have a lot of variety, and it's well organized. The employees are nice, and the little coffee shop inside is nice. They have a kids section, and puzzles and toys and what not, as many do. It is not nearly as big and doesn't have at many books as a store like Barnes & Noble, but for all other things, I prefer it.

My favorite book store for miles around!

My wife and I are avid readers so we like to look at book stores when we are on vacation in other areas. This bookstore is one of the best ones I have ever been to in my life. The selection was good (not the best but that is to be expected for a smaller bookstore), the people were friendly and they even had recommendations bookmarked inside their favorite books with synopses or information. In addition, the coffee shop inside the book store serves a pretty good cup of coffee as well. I would highly recommend this bookstore to anyone who likes to read or enjoys visiting local stores when traveling.

Really good coffee and AMAZING Blueberry lemon muffin!!!!

Still a hometown, independent bookstore. Have a coffee, read a book, get out of the cold.

My family and I didn’t like the coffee at ALL! And the HOT chocolate was COLD. The good part is the book store.
