Happy Endings Caboose Cafe

restaurantcafe$

A unique cafe serving coffee and treats from an authentic railroad caboose, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.

Happy Endings Caboose Cafe delivers exactly what the name promises: coffee served from an actual railroad caboose. In a town defined by the Royal Gorge Route Railroad and rich railroad history, this quirky cafe fits right in while offering something genuinely unique. The caboose has been lovingly converted into a functional coffee shop, maintaining its railroad character while adding the equipment needed to serve quality beverages. Order your coffee, grab a pastry, and enjoy the experience of getting your morning brew from a piece of railroad history. The menu focuses on quality coffee drinks and baked goods. Nothing fancy, just well-made basics served with a smile in an unforgettable setting. The outdoor seating area lets you enjoy your drink while taking in the Canon City scenery. For families, the caboose is a hit with kids who are fascinated by trains. For railroad enthusiasts, it is a must-visit. For everyone else, it is simply a fun, memorable way to start the day or take an afternoon break. The cafe is open daily, making it easy to work into your Canon City itinerary. Stop by before heading to the Royal Gorge or after a morning rafting trip for a unique coffee experience you will not find anywhere else.
