Established, specialty coffee shop in the tiny mountain town of Alma, CO that is also currently the highest drivable coffee shop in North America. The shop is along a busy thoroughfare (CO Highway 9) with significant commuter and tourists traffic with peak busy seasons in winter (day-trip ski traffic from Front Range & Colorado Springs, many local short-term rental properties, etc.) and summer (numerous, famous 14er hikes in our backyard, world-class angling, rafting, festivals, etc.). There is no other, direct competition for this level of specialty coffee nearby and some great, complimentary businesses in town (sourdough bakery, general store, food truck, produce stand, etc.). The shop has also won numerous Park County (west of Kenosha Pass) awards over the past 2 years (Best Coffee Spot (x2), Best Barista (x2), and Best New Business (2025)). It also has a flawless 5-star rating on Google (currently 120 reviews) and all other platforms (Facebook, Yelp, etc.). This is a fantastic, turn-key opportunity for somebody looking to buy and grow a specialty coffee shop/cafe.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- The local market continues to grow with an increase in tourism and short-term rental properties. There is no direct competition in the town of Alma - closest coffee shop is 7-8 miles away in Fairplay. Please see PDF for more information on competitor business. Across the street is a complimentary business (Bristlecone Bake Shop) producing world-class sourdough products.
- Opportunities for Growth
- First priority for growth would likely be to add grab & go food options (e.g. burritos, etc.). Huge potential here to hit ski & hiker traffic who are typically in a hurry and prefer to make just one stop.
