The Cortez-based Silver Bean coffee shop has expanded operations to the Dolores River Campground.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Little Bean \u2013 a smaller Airstream trailer transformed into a coffee shop \u2013 now serves campers and passers-by at the popular campground, just outside Dolores at 18680 Colorado 145.<\/p>\n

Manager Steve Marty serves up fresh drip coffee, homemade burritos, pastries and bagels Tuesday through Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to put it to good use, and our friends own this campground, so it was a perfect fit to help serve their customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Steve Marty\u2019s wife, Monica, makes the vegetarian and sausage burritos, as well as the pastries and homemade bagels.<\/p>\n

She also owns a mobile wood-fired pizza and catering business, The Sweetwater Gypsies, which sets up at the campground every Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Campground owner Lainey Beyhan is happy to offer additional amenities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invite the public to come on out and enjoy pizza on Wednesdays, and check out our new coffee shop,\u201d Beyhan said. \u201cPeople\u2019s eyes light up when we mention wood-fired pizza and breakfast served out of an airstream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coffee is a special \u201ctrailer mix\u201d provided by Durango Coffee, a flavorful, strong blend that will jolt you awake.<\/p>\n

The Silver Bean was purchased by Steve Marty\u2019s dad, Bill Marty, after seeing it for sale on a recent trip through the Southwest.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always wanted to buy a coffee shop,\u201d Steve Marty said. \u201cSo when this came up, he could not resist. The Little Bean came with it, so expanding the business made sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unique air-stream trailer coffee shop is a mainstay in Cortez, and has been featured in national travel magazines.<\/p>\n

\u201cAirstream owners love it, and are always stopping to take pictures,\u201d Marty said. \u201cIt\u2019s very retro, and this classic 1963 model is very solidly built.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Silver Bean in Dolores will be open during the campground season from May through October.<\/p>\n
