Bongo Billy’s Café in Buena Vista is on the path to becoming a java institution in Colorado. With a shop also anchored in Salida, Bongo Billy’s has dominated the Arkansas Valley coffee scene and is a required stop for anyone passing through the 14er-flanked valley. A small-batch roaster, Bongo Billy’s has perfected high-altitude roasting to make sure every cup they serve is uniquely their own. Give their organic Big Air Blend a whirl to crank it up to 11.
