Meanwhile, in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France, the Goûter Hut, the highest-guarded refuge in Europe, offers coffee and breakfast to mountaineers attempting to summit Mount Blanc.
In New Zealand, Coffee Afloat in Cairnmuir Gully serves up coffee and burgers to trail users on the Lake Dunstan Trail from a pair of pontoon boats. Back in the UK, Riverbank Coffee in Manchester sits nestled next to the River Mersey on the Trans Pennine Trail, providing a woodland coffee experience.
For those seeking a more exotic coffee adventure, Finca Rosa Blanca Farm and Inn in Costa Rica offers award-winning coffee with stunning views of volcanoes. And in Chiang Mai, Thailand, The Giant Chiang Mai treehouse café promotes the rich history of coffee in the area while offering panoramic valley views.
