My former employer, and an all around great coffee shop. It can get pretty busy in the summer, so get there early! They also have a food truck version next to Safeway.

Cute little scenic, mountain town on the way to Independence Pass. Take a left turn on County Rd 25 before the reservoir to access the beautiful trail to Interlaken, a historic lake resort. This is also a great place to paddleboard or lake kayak, or just hang out by the lake for the day.
