For the first time, the beloved Milanese coffee bar and restaurant, Sant Ambroeus, is debuting out west in Aspen, Colorado. The new coffee bar, located at 520 E. Hyman Ave, will be a welcomed respite for guests, featuring the warmth and hospitality that Sant Ambroeus is known for.

Featuring its signature pasticceria, Sant Ambroeus Coffee Bar Aspen will offer a variety of the classic desserts and Paninetti all’olio, as well as new items including a smoked salmon avocado toast and a panino Praga, which features smoked Praga ham, swiss cheese, roasted eggplant and a touch of Dijon mustard.

Inspired by the city of Aspen, the coffee bar has an Alpine modern design approach, with the juxtaposing elements of the surrounding environment in mind. Designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri Studio, there are also several vintage Italian pieces throughout the space, such as Le Bambole sofas by Mario Bellini, 1950s Carlo Ratti chairs and 1970s wall sconces.

The coffee bar has the presence of concrete elements on the counter and bench, a flagstone floor, and warmer materials such as walnut woods, Verde Alpi marble, Mongolian lamb faux fur and corduroy fabric. Mr. Tagliaferri shares,“As a Milanese myself, and a Sant Ambroeus regular, I felt an immediate connection to this project. I hope the space will become a staple for Aspen locals and visitors; a refuge where one can go in the morning for an espresso and croissant, or stop by for a quick lunch or a delicious hot chocolate after a day on the slopes.”
