Core Values

Ensuring quality, acting sustainably, and nurturing communities are all core to Cafe Belay. We do more than just brew the most delicious coffee around, we only roast coffee sourced from importers that prioritize ethical and sustainable business decisions.

As of June 2025, Cafe Belay has donated a total of $2,963 to local community and outdoor recreation development, preservation, and education focused non-profit organizations both local and national. Being able to give back to the communities that inspire and support us is a reward in it’s self.

 

Cañon City, Colorado

Cañon City is right next to some of the best single pitch sport climbing in the country. The bomber limestone cliffs at Shelf Road just north of town provide over 1,200 routes (and growing) with something to offer for every experience level. Not to mention, the community is amazing! If you rock climb, then you have to plan a Shelf Road trip soon.

There are plenty of other activities to choose from here as well, and a lot of it’s on public land! White water rafting, river surfing, fly fishing, hiking, mountain/dirt biking, camping, skydiving, zip-lining, and hot spring star gazing are just a few. There’s even a train ride through the Royal Gorge along the Arkansas River. Stop by Cafe Belay and fuel up before your next adventure around Cañon City!

 

Offerings

We aim to provide resources for the community beyond exceptional specialty coffee. Cafe Belay has the best climbing gear selection in the county and is a great place to stock up on anything you may be missing for your next climbing trip. Our Climbing Inventory has what you need to rock climb anywhere.

Our chai, inspired by the many delicious cups enjoyed by the founder while traveling India, is made fresh in-house from organic Assam black tea and spices. We also offer organic ceremonial grade matcha prepared authentically and brew small batch kombucha in-house to keep you feeling refreshed and healthy with the help of our bacteria friends. The Menu is tailored to those dietary restricted folks out there with baked goods and breakfast burrito packed full of healthy and yummy ingredients you can actually eat for once.
