Coffee Shops near Fort Carson

“The flavor wayyy surpasses Starbucks.“

“Today was one of those days that I was so tired that I needed a pick me up. I went in for a coffee yawning and zoned out. I left and half way though my coffee I see this message! Honestly it warmed my heart and I hope the young man that completed my order have a great week as well! You guys honestly made my week💕“

“I think this place is okay. And a good location to go to when you need a quick drink or snack/ food especially when you don't wanna deal with the lunch rush at the PX. Went here on Friday. The employees are young so I'm very patient and understanding. They were kind of confused on if I ordered anything else other than a drink which I told them what I got ofc. But I was irritated that the kiosks don't give you a receipt to prove what you got so that's annoying. Anyways they were fast to get what I needed and I would say the drink was good and the food was mid but ya know it's Dunkin' Donuts. I got a peach refresher which was pretty good so I'll be getting it again fs.“

“Friendly staff, local feel. Awesome cow artwork. Coffee was delicious! Hope to try ice cream sometime soon. So glad I stumbled upon this shop. BLT pretty darn good too. ! 10 stars“

“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.“

“Literally addicted to this place. I was a die hard Dutch Bros fan until 7 brew opened, then I started going there everyday. After seeing so many recommendations for this place on Facebook I had to try it. Now, I have gone every single day since and do not plan on stopping. It’s soooo delicious and super close to my house so that’s a plus! I love the large sizes as well! The coffees are so good and the energy drinks are too! The staff is super friendly. I am so glad I discovered this place and grateful this place is in my community! I am in the hospital having my baby and all I can think about is getting a coffee as soon as I am discharged (hopefully tomorrow).“

“Best coffee I’ve found in America while visiting from Aus ☺️ highly recommend!!“

“Spectacular single origin coffee that is roasted in house to perfection! The owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful experience!“

“My favorite place to enjoy a coffee, create new friendships, and nurture current existing friendships.“

“I got their quiche (I believe pesto, tomato, and parmesan?) and it was so delicious. Also got a latte, which was good as well! The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing, and being part of the Lincoln Center, a repurposed elementary school, is such a cool spot! I definitely recommend checking this spot out if you are from out of town.“

“Very nice place, good priced for teas and coffee. Visited for the first time on Saturday, will be back more often! Just off the Rock Island Trail.“

“The staff was very kind and the atmosphere was cute. You can sit at a table or couch and play board games. There's also a separate work area. The bagels were large and delicious. It is walking distance from a park, so you can grab coffee and go sit in the park to enjoy. Highly recommend.“

“Great coffee and amazing staff! If you’re looking for great coffee, kind people, and a place that truly cares about its community, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“Just tried the special of the day and Holy cow!! It's my new favorite drink! Dark Chocolate with Strawberry and oatmilk. Also the staff here are always so amazing! Love this place!“

“Just wanna say that We had the best coffee experience at Dutch Bros last weekend. Not only for the most delicious peppermint Coffee but the most amazing and most warm costumer serving we ever had in the time we spend in Colorado Springs. Starting from the guy in parking lot to all the guys inside the store. The vibe was awesome that we have to come back the next day and the next day ❤️ thank you guys and keep up the what y’all doing. Hope to see y’all next time we’re in town 🫶🤘🏼😆 all love and appreciation from the H-TOWN ✌️😙“

“We spent a month traveling around Colorado and this place was so good we went 3 times. It was the best coffee we found from the service to the coffee itself! We made it all the way home to Ohio with a fresh bag of beans. The owner was passionate and wonderful, so thank you for the experience!!“

“Stopped by here last night before visiting the haunted house for something to warm us up and a nice, young woman greeted us and made some delicious coffees! We were also pleasantly surprised that they were now serving egg nog! A wonderful little oasis in a seemingly gloomy parking lot. Highly recommend.“

“Great hot chi tea latte 🥰“

“I stopped by a couple days while in town. The coffee was great, and the employees were very friendly and welcoming. I recommend 100% and I'll be stopping in again when I'm in town.“

“Great coffee & creative meals...pleasant, personable staff..quiet space and soothing 2 my soul when I take a break from the demands of my ministry job.“

“great customer service and tasty coffee as well as energy drinks“

“We have been coming here for about 7 months as they are the coffee shop right around the corner from our house. Usually my husband swings by every morning on his way home from the gym. The opening crew at this shop are the bees knees! Especially Lance and, please forgive me as I don't know her name, but the lady with brown wavy hair. They are so personable and friendly. Both my husband and I recently had surgery and both them have been checking on us through the whole process, everytime we come through. They also know what we order everytime and usually try to have it ready by the time we are coming thru. Lance makes sure to go above and beyond everytime. That man deserves to own the coffee shop! Thank you!“

“Friendly staff! Tasty drinks!!“

“My favorite coffee shop-such a different menu with plenty of variety. Fast and friendly service❤️ If you’re ever in Sweetwater Texas stop by there! My niece and nephew own that location and we love it 😍“

“AVALANCHE. mmmmhmmmmm. Soo yummy“

“Great spot to waste some time on a weekend. Rico's has some great seasonal coffee options, my favorite being the white chocolate huckleberry latte. The checkout process is much more linear than it was in the past and their rewards program is worth signing up for. Their food options are solid for a quick bite. The quiche is packed with eggy/veggie goodness and a thin crust. The lemon berry mascarpone cake is glorious when allowed to sit at room temp for a few minutes. Soft and fluffy, there is a slight twang in the cake that balances the sweetness in the mascarpone filling.“

“Shelby working the drive-thru is fantastic!! Always kind and willing to not only do her job but carry a conversation while we wait. The quality is also consistent at this location, overall worth driving an extra 2 minutes to this particular location.“

“The space is beautiful and the staff is friendly. My only issue was my drink. I ordered a matcha and it was basically all milk (image attached). I asked the barista to add more matcha and even after that, it was still very milky. Felt like a waste of $8.“

“Wait time went by faster than quoted! Fad, friendly service. Coffee is the best I have had and refills were perfectly timed. Will definitely be dropping by to buy a bag to brew at home. All menu items were delicious and filling. I bought additional giant cinnamon rolls to share with absent family members. So GOOD!“

“Loving the seasonal offerings, especially the housemade huckleberry tea!“

“I love their espresso!!! The people are so nice and helpful. I go here twice a week or more.“

“I come to Colorado Springs a lot for business and almost always stay at the Doubletree Hotel down the street. Montee is one of those people who remembers your name, greets you with sincerity, and goes the extra mile to ensure you're satisfied every time.“

“Awesome as always!!!!!!!!“

“Thank you for the most amazing and delicious GF donuts 🍩 😋“

“I have been using Spanish Peaks Coffee since 2008. I have used them as my roaster since the original owners to Adam the second owner and the new owners they have now. Not one time has the quality faltered!!!! The Benevito Espresso is superior and I get compliments continuously from customers stating that it’s one of the best they have had. I highly recommend them for your roasting needs!!! Consistency and quality and amazing flavor!!!!“

“Been going here pretty much since they opened. Not gonna say how often I am here but probably enough to where they think my name is Norm. They are good at what they do. They make great consistent Starbucks drinks and I have never seen them be anything but great with customers. This store just has good staff folks who I don't know all their names but they all know mine and my drink.“

“I came in right before closing on my way to work a night shift. He staff was so friendly and I received a free drink because of my longer then usual wait time! Cheers and thanks for my treat!“

“Christina is my employee to give recognition today. She went above and beyond to make sure that my drink and my sandwich were the way I liked it and was kind while doing it. Come here! The four stars for atmosphere was just cause it's a supermarket store but everything else was great today.“

“I love Dutch brothers but am very annoyed with them this last time I went. I know they're busy but I got told to drive to the side to get out of the way of the traffic and then the 2 cars behind me got their drinks ahead of me and then my drink was wrong. Just really just disappointing!“

“The coffee is great. I worked here though and the ow er that runs the shop was extremely abusive to his employees. I only lasted a couple of weeks. I couldn't take it. And frankly we were all terrified of him. Edit: This was the founder. I don't know if there is new management.“

“Nice atmosphere and staff.“

“Sorry if I spell her name wrong & all of the employees are friendly and kind and go above & beyond, but Ellie is very nice and I wish I could see her everytime I go to Starbucks cause she has really great customer service and makes it feel like you are an old friend everytime I visit when she's there. & she is always so welcoming and It makes the Starbucks experience that much better. This Starbucks rocks! keep up the great work! You all are very appreciated!“
