Aspen Coffee Shops Set an Avant-Ski Scene

"Perched atop the Aspen Art Museum with eye-popping views of Ajax Mountain, light and bright Swedish Hill offers a menu that includes Intelligentsia Coffee’s Sublunar Blend and house-baked breads, Nutella morning buns, cinnamon rolls, croissants (including chocolate, pistachio, or ham and cheese), Danishes, muffins, bagels, and kouign amann, plus breakfast tacos and breakfast sandwiches. The café’s special draft latte is a Swedish Iced Coffee, concocted with cold brew concentrate, oat milk, and coconut cream. The award-winning Shigeru Ban building features a wooden lattice that envelopes the space and gives the impression that you’re dining in an open-air work of art with a relaxed mountain-town vibe." - Laura Beausire
