GATO IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

HOWEVER CATCH THE GATO COFFEE CART CAMEO

Gato will have a one day pop-up at the Salida Bike & Ski Swap
on Saturday October 25th, at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds. 

We love coffee. We roast it fresh every week in small batches with fair-trade, organic beans. For the past five years we’ve developed a cult following with our customers. Cults are cool but it’s time to bring it to the masses. GATO AS RELIGION — can we get an amen? We’ve got all the espresso drinks. Bonfire breakfast burritos and pastries from the Silver Whisker Bakery. Come check out our little cart that’s big on spirit.

Find GATO downtown in front of the Badfish Surf Shop. The shop has a great vibe and we’re fired up to share their patio decked with cafe tables, beach chairs and a monster umbrella. If you’re wondering “surf shop in a mountain town?” check out this video and see what the city of Salida and Badfish have created… it’s pretty magical. It’s Also the inspiration for the graphics on our trailer.
MENU
Our espresso shots are doubles. You can add more shots in multiples of two (four, six get sh*t done!). Sizes are 12oz, and 16oz for hot drinks and 16oz for cold. We offer local all-natural cow’s milk and Minor Figures oat milk. Decaf available.
 
 
We support non-profits with our Buck-a-Bag program.
We thought, maybe it’d be nice for people to know that when they pay for a pound of excellent coffee, part of their hard-earned money goes out into the world to do good things. Even quality organic coffee, like anything sold and bought, costs the planet. What if we gave a buck a bag to environmental and social causes? Learn more about Buck-a-Bag at our BUCK-A-BAG page.
