“This was my first time here and it certainly won't be my last. The staff were absolutely outstanding, and the food did not disappoint at all. Do not miss the Elote appetizer with the Crema and the queso fresco they are fire. It has a nice bite with it due to the lime juice that I've never had before,that was a five star hit. My server informed me that they were famous for their Birra tacos and had several dishes in that theme. I chose the birra quesadilla. The roast beef inside was tender and juicy. The flower tortilla was crisp and flavorful. They do not skimp on portions there was enough meat in this entrée to be a pot roast dinner. I can't wait to go back..”

“I've never tried African food before this but, I was extremely impressed with the service and quality of food. Ms. Cleo (wife) runs the kitchen and the restaurant, until the husband Richard gets off from active duty military service in the army. I had the lamb soup, and the chicken with rice, and both were delicious. I will be back soon without a doubt. Thanks for delicious food and for your service in the military Richard + Cleo.”

The food was fantastic, the atmosphere & music is awesome & our server (Chris) was phenomenal! This is a place we will return to over & over! We also got a bottle of Lebowski’s Kool-Luah Coffee Liqueur, after tasting it - whoa!!! It was absolutely off the hook - unbelievably good! 😋”

“The first time at this place the food was delicious and good atmosphere”

“Love this place so much! I’m not usually a fan of chain restaurants but my favorite thing about this place is the fact that they source locally as much as they can. We have been here a few times now and every single time it has been great. The food and service are consistently good. Every server we have had was amazing. I used to work in restaurant industry for years so I notice the little things. I love to see multiple managers on the floor talking to customers, refilling drinks, running food. One server I have to point out is Jennifer, she’s never actually been our server but always remembers us, specifically my daughter who was having a meltdown one day and she offered to bring her a bowl of fruit. And we weren’t even in her section. Great service, thank you!”

“I got a Tres Leches cake for my staff holiday party and it was delicious! We all thoroughly enjoyed it! I’ll be back for the Mocha Tres Leches next!! Mmmmmmm”

“😀Super nice and friendly staff. Many flavors to choose from. Great value. They even have a personal favorite wait list upon which they will phone you when it comes back in stock. Impossible to say enough good compliments about this family owned business. 😇😇😇 Thank you for being here.”

“Such a wonderful addition to Monument! Delicious array of choices of ice cream and a fun backyard in which to enjoy ice cream and play games too! Suggestion: could you scrub the outdoor tables as it’s a lot of sticky to deal with. Thanks”

“From the moment I stepped into The Loft, I knew I had stumbled onto something truly special. In all my travels it’s truly rare to find a place where every detail, from the warmth of the welcome to the last sip of coffee, feels so thoughtfully and lovingly curated. The service here has always been Impeccable. It’s not just professional, it’s personal. I remember stumbling into this humble establishment the first day I moved to Manitou. I had just completed my first run around town and needed a pick me up. Little did I know that I would fall in love with their dirty chai and homemade desserts. From my first step in the door till now, the staff remembered my name and the nuances of my favorite drinks. Not once have I ever felt rushed or overlooked… instead, Ive always been cared for in a way that makes me feel like I truly matter. That level of attention is rare and deeply appreciated. You can taste the commitment that the kitchen staff puts in every dish. Fresh ingredients, inventive yet comforting flavors, and enticing presentations keep me coming back to try every seasonal option. Whether you're after a hearty breakfast, a delicate pastry, or a soul satisfying lunch, this place delivers on all fronts, but I must reiterate that what really sets this cafe apart is the magic feeling the staff and owners curate. There’s a quiet magic here, a sense of belonging, of being known and seen. I’ve never felt more at home in a public space. It’s more than a meal or a coffee stop, it’s an experience I enjoy returning to again and again. Thank you all for creating such a place and for the consistent dedication and service to our community.”

“Great service! Delicious food! Staff was very friendly and patient with us since we may have taken a little bit of time to decide on what to order.”

“What a great breakfast I had with my aunt this morning! It was our first time in, but I will surely be back! My machiato was phenomenal and my crepe just as amazing! Great and welcoming atmosphere too!”

“Amazing restaurant, customer service was amazing! Food was delicious, portions were prefect. When we are back in town, we will for sure coming back! 10/10”
