Reviews For Cafe 4080

Highest bar in New Hampshire at the top of Cannon Mtn. Take a ride up on the tram, either ketchup or mustard (you will understand when you go) and enjoy the beautiful views while having a local beer, such as Cannon Ale which was a pleasant surprise or one of their specialty drinks. Then take a hike on the mountain. Perfect way to spend a day.

A very welcome destination at the top of Mt. Cannon. 4080 being the elevation at the top of the mountain. We hike to the top of Cannon Mountain each year and then treat ourselves to a hearty lunch. I am partial to the NY Reuben sandwiches which are excellent. The food is cooked to order and is very good. They also serve alcohol at a small bar set up with bistro style tables and chairs. Most visitors ride the aerial tramway to the top. We prefer to hike up, have lunch and then ride down.

You pay a pretty penny for the food you get here, but it's good food, and its a comfortable space. Very tricky things to maintain when you're near the top of a mountain. A major respite for people on the trails, or coming up the tram. It's really worth making the trip up and eating here. Part of the experience insofar as being able to take it all in. They also offer some pretty good portion sizes per the food you get. So, while you might pay a little more, you're definitely not starving up there.

Small cafe on the top of Cannon Mountain with beautiful views of Franconia ridge, and the White Mountains beyond. Alcoholic beverages are available. Small selection of fried foods, and basic chow. Amazing location.

A wonderful place for those who seek adventure in all forms, people of all ages and very kind, a place to admire life and live the sport.

Highest taps in New Hampshire, great spot for a drink in between runs. Restrooms are clean too! (Pretty awesome to find a restroom at 4000’ ). The food is limited and pricey but that is what I expect for ski area food at the top of a mountain. It certainly won’t be an incredible culinary experience but there are some decent options if you are hungry. Staff has always been friendly and the views from the bar area are great. (Majority of cafe has no windows ...just the entrance and bar area) there are a few observation points outside.
