The current iteration of Gracie’s Coffee (with plans to expand in the future) is an efficiently designed drive-thru/walk-up coffee hut high in the Rockies of Colorado. It opened in November of 2022, and since then has received an abundance of community support and love for the quality coffee that is served. 

Gracie’s roots in the coffee world run deep. Her dad owns a coffee/outdoor store in Western NY called Adventure Bound and Ellicottville Coffee Company. Over the past eight years, Gracie worked on and off in her parents’ business during breaks from the University of Vermont and between travels.

Ellicottville Coffee (and now Gracie’s Coffee) source their beans from Peru where her father co-owned and managed a restaurant/café in the Sacred Valley of Peru outside of Cusco, en route to Machu Picchu. Her father’s Peruvian fiancé helps maintain the Peruvian coffee finca connection and contacts. Gracie’s customers love the fact that she spent time living in the mountains of Peru, has done multiple high altitude treks there, and loves the region and coffee. 

Gracie has a deep connection to the Vail Valley where she spent a good portion of her child-hood growing up in Eagle, her dad attended Vail Mountain School, and her grandparents met on the slopes of Vail in the 60’s.
