THE best espresso in town, and the only coffee drinks we love after travelling to Europe! Great spot that we frequent regularly- plus beautiful riverwalk spot

My husband and I went to Pagosa to get a way for a while and I’m such a coffee junkie that I had to go get my coffee fix before we left. When I drove into Pagosa it was one of the first coffee shops I noticed driving in (you can’t miss it!) as the location is perfect and such a cute little place. Now, when we went in. It was immediately the vibe and atmosphere I was looking for. A cute peaceful and lovely shop. My husband was surprised to see that they served Mate as he is drinks it everyday. Then We got talking with the owners and they were absolutely LOVELY! So welcoming and warm, we had such a great experience here. So glad it was our last little stop before heading back home as we left with smile on our faces! Definitely coming back! Thank you so much! Sislai and Juan

The service was fantastic! Went with friends, and they were happy with their choices. It just wasn't my cup of "coffee." I prefer Frappe and/or Frappuccino. Nothing they offer comes close. But the muffin was delicious and like I said the service was outstanding.

The Lift has always been a popular, locally owned coffeehouse in Pagosa Springs. What's new, is that in May of 2024, they moved to their new location near the bridge crossing the river at 101 Pagosa Street. It was cloudy and cool this morning so I popped in for a chai tea latte. They were very busy so I spent some time looking at all the lovely, local artists artwork for sale. The eclectic drink menu offered many delicious add-ins, like lavender, & chocolate, several choices of milk including oat and almond. As you can see from the pictures, they also have a few muffin choices I was told they're planning on adding an outdoor seating area and will have more food items as they settle into their new location. This coffee shop was immaculately clean, with many places to sit and relax, alone or with a friend. There is also a little alcove where you could sit and have a bit of privacy and another small space where you could have a group meeting. I highly, highly, highly recommend the lift coffee House in Pagosa Springs for your must-have morning or rainy day beverage.

"The best latte I've probably had in a least a year." My snobby husband. Service was also excellent! Thank you!

Love this coffee shop! The owners are so kind and truly care and give back to their community! Recently went in and asked if they had any light roast, whole bean bags of coffee for sale. They had sold out, but told me they had an order coming in soon. They asked what coffee I liked and I mentioned that I liked Ethiopian coffee, but would be happy with any light roast. Within 3 days I went back and they had brought in a delicious Ethiopian coffee from Yirgacheffe!! They are always kind, efficient, and serve delicious coffee!! Love their new location

The place had a funny smell. The coffee was okay. Great funky place to hang though. We didn't try any other products.

Very cute coffee shop, adorable small town vibes. They are currently short staffed but working very hard to make delicious drinks so make sure to leave a tip! Beautifully decorated, fair choice of specialty coffee drinks. 6-7 sugar free syrup choices. Loved it! I got a sugar free caramel latte and it was delicious.
