The Black Kettle Coffee Shop

The Black Kettle Coffee Shop is an independently owned coffee shop located at 16 South Main Street in Alma, Colorado, opened in November 2024 by owner Mike Zboray. Situated at an elevation of 10,357 feet, it holds the distinction of being the highest coffee shop in North America, serving a menu of specialty coffees, matcha, chai, golden milk lattes, and house-made hot cocoa in partnership with Evergreen-based Bivouac Coffee. The shop has quickly become a community staple in Alma, with Zboray emphasizing collaboration with neighboring local businesses and a commitment to delivering exceptional, small-town hospitality.
