We believe in supporting our community by featuring local vendors and artists. Each to-go cup of coffee is served in all compostable materials, a small yet significant step towards reducing our environmental impact. Whether you're dropping in for a cappuccino or swinging by for an afternoon beer, Coffee by Topo is where meaningful connections thrive and positive change takes root.
The story
Katy B. here! I started Coffee by Topo in the summer of 2021 after wishing the Salida Farmers Market had a coffee vendor. I began developing recipes in my kitchen and testing them with friends delivered fresh from my townie bike. Naturally, Topo’s beverage delivery service developed shortly thereafter. Since then, Topo has evolved many times: you can catch us at farmers markets in Salida and Crested Butte, hire us to cater any gathering, find our Nitro Cold Brew at one of our many wholesale partners, or swing by our cafe to enjoy the neighborhood vibe, pleasant hospitality, and delicious beverages!
