The Coffee Cowboy

Right next to the free gondolas, Coffee Cowboy is the perfect place to get some joe before heading out to the slopes or the mountain village. They have 5 or so specialty lattes that rival Yetis Grind in the Vail Valley. I personally love the Annie Oakley (caramel and cinnamon).

The baristas are nice and there's no better place to wait for your coffee than right at the bottom of the slopes, looking up the mountain.

Super friendly hipster coffeeshop in telluride . I love their oat milk latte with lavender (although they ran out of oat for the last two days). They also have an amazing Gluten Free and vegan banana bread.

For real, this coffee was delicious. I would recommend anyone try The Coffee Cowboy when they're in Telluride. The wait was terribly long for just me (and my well-behaved dog) = 1 coffee. The customer in front of me waved down every person she knew coming off the slope which made her small order turn into a very large one. She kept adding drink after drink to her order which left me standing there thinking, wow, she could have let me go in front of her knowing it's just me and my dog here for a coffee. Her and all the people walking over to her in line started petting my dog, everything was great. So once her 15+ specialty drinks were ordered, it was my chance at the window, or so I thought. I stepped up all excited, only to be told, it's going to be a minute, I have a lot of drinks to make. Yep. So, I had to wait even longer. And, yes, I wanted this coffee, so I did. I waited. Luckily, I was able to really dig in to the menu and I actually changed my mind on what I wanted multiple times, so it all worked out. Heck, I was in Telluride. I got my iced lone ranger, tipped $3 and walked off. The barista was by herself, taking the orders, making the drinks and handing them out. She was hustling that morning and I can appreciate that. I share my thoughts and this story to remind others of social etiquette and to be polite and thoughtful. Peace and Love.

Cute little coffee shop from a trailer, outdoor seating including a couch. Cold brew was nice on a hot day, $6 for a 16oz. If you’re not looking for it, you might miss it because it’s tucked away.

My son and I were in line for 15 minutes to get him a hot chocolate after skiing. At 3:59 he said to us (next in line) the people in front of you are my last customers for the day. Very unfriendly and unwilling to compromise for a drink that was already made.

The Coffee Cowboy rides the hazy highs of dirty chai and deep Gibraltars. An instant classic. Spearheading the “pay it forward” device, encouraging generosity and community in the form of buying a stranger a couple of (your choice) brew. A brilliant system.
But where’s the Reverse Cowgirl? 😋

Quaint little coffee truck (trailer) tucked into an alleyway. This was a must-stop on our trip to Telluride. We got to town just as they were opening up. The Lone Ranger and Annie Oakley were tasty both hot and cold...yes we visited before AND after our hike along Bear Creek Trail. Will always stop for coffee here when in Telluride! Hopefully merch will be back in stock when we come again :)

BEST COFFEE IN TELLURIDE

Not only the most delicious and smoothest coffee, but the girls working here are absolutely lovely. Making my rather fussy drink order is not too much and they even remembered my order after one visit.

Couldn’t recommend more!

Decent menu, quick service, and delicious coffee, but the latte left my wife wanting for a bit more. It wasn’t bad, just a bit flat.

The Main Street accessibility is what drew us in, but we ended up getting another coffee down the road at Ghost town and enjoying their deeper menu more.

Love the vibes here! Quick, friendly, & a great almond milk latte. They also provide a lot of free extras to add into your drink. I noticed a lot of locals seem to come here as well. Will definitely be coming back
