Our Story

Elevated Design.
Specialty Coffee.
Better Over More.

Alpine Modern began with a simple belief: the spaces we inhabit shape how we feel and connect. We found an old stone cottage near the Flatirons and saw something — warmth, possibility, community. We built the rest from there.

Every cup is crafted with intention. Every dish is made fresh. Every corner of each cafe is designed to make you want to stay a little longer.

"Hands down the best coffee in Boulder. The space is absolutely beautiful — industrial but warm. The lattes are perfectly balanced and the avocado toast is something I think about constantly. A true gem."
