Treff Cafe
About
Treff Café is the coffee bar and European-style bar inside Sonnenalp Vail, the hotel at 20 Vail Road in Vail Village. It works across the whole day: espresso and a croissant before the lifts, a panini at lunch, a Bavarian wheat beer or a spritz once the skiing is done.
You do not need to be staying at the Sonnenalp; the hotel pitches it as a place where guests and locals meet. It suits anyone who wants a quiet table rather than a crowded après bar, and families who need hot chocolate and a pastry between activities.
Coffee and pastries
The coffee list covers drip coffee, espresso, cortado, flat white, lattes, mochas, chai, London fog and matcha, with oat, soy, almond and coconut milk. The hot chocolates are worth singling out: a Bavarian version with cream, and a Mexican one spiced with cinnamon, star anise and cayenne. Pastries include butter, chocolate, ham-and-cheese and spinach-and-feta croissants, plus muffins and danishes.
Lunch and the bar
Light lunch means sandwiches, paninis and other savory bites, eaten inside or on the patio. The bar pours Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, Dunkel and Pilsner alongside a Colorado IPA, a short list of wines by the glass or bottle, mimosas and a Bloody Mary, and cocktails such as a Hugo spritz, an espresso martini and a mezcal-and-maple Mezcalita. Two non-alcoholic mixed drinks are on the list too.
When to go
Treff keeps café hours, closing in the late afternoon or early evening rather than running late into the night. Hours are shortest in the fall shoulder season and longest from mid-December; the FAQ has the current schedule.
Inside Sonnenalp Vail
Treff is one of several places to eat and drink at Sonnenalp Vail. Ludwig's serves the hotel's daily breakfast on its terrace and a regionally inspired dinner. Bully Ranch is the casual Western-themed spot for lunch, dinner and happy hour, and Swiss Chalet specializes in fondue, raclette and schnitzel. The King's Club is the fireside lounge for cocktails and live entertainment, and Sonnenalp Spa is on the property as well.
