GO! GOOOO!!!!!! Oh! Youâre still here?! OkâŚ
For the past 15 months husband and I have been trying vanilla lattes at local(CO) coffee shops. Plume has been on my list for a minute but whenever we head west itâs either too early or too late to visit. But last Thursday we timed our drive right!!! On purpose might I add. And you know what? Native husband and mostly native me, had no idea Silver Plume has an actual town!!!!!! We thought it was the garage and couple buildings off the highway!!!! What?! It also has a cool bar/restaurant called Bread that is open at 4pm! I mean, what?! But back to the coffee bar⌠Itâs amazing. Far and away our favorite weâve visited here or in Europe! Seriously! Julie is amazing and friendly and welcoming and so full of information that a) we think she should be the mayor and b) weâre going back up this Friday to hike! She sold us! We are ready to move!! lol The coffee and apple cider were awesome. Like, one of my favorite vanilla lattes in all of Colorado so far!!! And the shopâŚ. Holy mackerel my photos canât do it justice but I sure tried!!! It has outdoor seating to enjoy a bit of sunshine and the cool mountain village atmosphere and so much indoor seating! And youâll most likely get involved in conversations with locals. Such cute and thoughtful decorations and cozy sitting spaces and games and toys for the Littles and CLEAN!!!! Oh man was it clean! And sunny and so bright and inviting I could go on and on. We canât wait to go back!! And be sure to take a mo to wander the little streets and admire the Victorian architecture, the views and the fresh mountain air. Thank you so much Julie for everything you do to give this little place a spot in the sun for all to share. We just know you are going to be so...

Locals/regulars and visitors alike are greeted with genuine warmth by the friendly owner, who somehow remembers everyone's names and something special about them. This place invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and stay awhile. The drinks are carefully crafted with no rush, no frantic energy; just patience, presence, and perfection.

Seriously, the plants are as chill and vibrant as the vibe. If you visit in the summer, enjoy watching and hearing the hummingbirds busily buzzing from feeder to feeder just outside the entrance. Plume Coffee Bar is where you go to enjoy the moment, to let the caffeine hit your bloodstream and your soul. Itâs not fast, and thatâs the point. Take your time and stay as long as you care to.

   Read moreWent for some matcha and breakfast because a friend recommended this place. Ordered matcha and my husband ordered coffee and a burrito for dine in. My husband finished two coffees and his burrito so I changed my matcha order to go. The barista was constantly busy making drinks and I watched several people that came in after me get theirs. When I ask why it was taking so long I was told it takes a long time to make matcha. When I pointed out that people after me got theirs I was told they had drip coffee. Some had coffee but she was busy the entire time making drinks and didnât start mine until everyone else had their drinks. I saw a woman walk to the restroom and return quickly, when I went to the restroom I also walked away without going in. It was dirty with urine...
