Experience Coffee With a View: Estes Park’s Café That Feels Like Home in Nature

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

Over the past few weeks, I've been on a mission to get out of my comfort zone and explore new places.

I'm a bit of a homebody, so I'll go to work and then head back to my apartment.

If given the opportunity to stay at home and hang out with my cats in sweatpants, I'll take it over going out any day of the week.

A Charming Find: Bird's Nest Café in Estes Park

I was heading there to check out the skijoring event, when I decided to get to Estes a bit early.

My entire social media had been flooded with cute coffee shops in Northern Colorado, and one of them was situated right in Estes Park.

The Bird's Nest Experience in Estes: A Must-Visit

It's called Bird's Nest and it's not just coffee that they serve up either. They have a café, a bakery, and some really good-looking pizzas.

The place has two floors, and when you walk upstairs, there's this perch area that literally makes you feel like you're sitting in a bird's nest.

And they have these floor to ceiling windows that give you a gorgeous view of Estes.

It had just snowed, so it looked like something straight out of a Hallmark movie.

The Bird's Nest is open daily, with doors opening at 6:00 AM.

I highly recommend the Bird's Nest.

A Must-Visit Destination in Estes Park

During my first visit, I grabbed something pretty simple, a cup of loose-leaf tea. Next time I drop into this gorgeous space, I'll definitely start seriously considering some of the other menu items.

The next time you make a trip out to Estes Park, make sure to drop in to this one-of-a-kind space and grab yourself a little treat.
