Back in the day, this spot was known as the Silver Dollar Bar, and there’s still a little piece of that history hiding in plain sight. Look down when you’re inside, you’ll spot actual silver dollars embedded in the floor. Now, look up and you will see the original Silver Dollar Bar sign hanging in the middle of the shop! These are some of the cool, quiet details that connects the building’s past to what it is now.

111 Park sits right in the middle of Raton’s historic downtown district, surrounded by old brick storefronts and buildings that go back to the town’s early railroad and mining days. The neighborhood has seen a lot of boom and some bust, but lately there’s been this steady energy building back up, and 111 Park is part of that.


It’s not just a coffee shop. It’s become a space where locals hang out, travelers stop through, and community conversations happen over lattes and breakfast burritos. It’s the kind of place that helps keep downtown feeling alive.

These days, it’s a cozy little cafe serving up all the essentials: coffee, breakfast, and lunch done right. You’ll find stuff like fresh sandwiches, hearty soups, and salads that don’t feel like an afterthought. Their breakfast game is solid too! Think burritos, bagels, pastries, and cinnamon rolls to die for.


But let’s talk coffee! Whether you're into lattes, cappuccinos, cold brews, or just a good, strong drip, they’ve got you covered. And if you’re not a coffee person, no worries, they’ve got teas, Italian sodas, matcha's, and so many other yummy options!
