Rumors Coffee and Tea House

Known For

Vintage-meets-mountain atmosphere that regulars have been defending for years

Rumors Coffee and Tea House has the vintage interior and charming storefront that make it look like it's been a CB institution since before most visitors were born. Bright & airy despite its character-heavy bones, it photographs well and stays great-for-photos in every season.

🕐Best time to visit: snowy weekday mornings when the windows fog up just right
