Vail Mountain Coffee & Tea - Roastery cafe

a roastery cafe on us-24 in minturn, colorado is an unusual thing to stumble across, and that's part of why it works. minturn sits tight between the mountains and the eagle river, the kind of place you pass through on the way to vail and might not think twice about stopping. you should stop. vail mountain coffee & tea has been roasting here long enough to build real local standing, which takes more than good intentions in a small mountain town. the beans are roasted on-site, so what ends up in your cup hasn't traveled far or sat long before it gets to you. that matters. if you're heading up us-24 any morning this week, it's worth factoring minturn into your route before the altitude does.
