“Eating here is a must whenever we are at The Trading Post! Every time we are here, the food has been great. This time, we got a bison burger and a chili dog, and we loved it. It was one of the best chili dogs I have had, and my wife really enjoyed the burger. If you stop in, definitely get something from here.“

“Making jewelry makes you hungry 😋 Lox bagel & Jasmine green tea 🍵 Cafe Leo is so wonderful. The staff is beyond impressive! With their positive, friendly, welcoming attitudes! The food is delish! Always tastes fresh! Their tea selection is outstanding! 💖🌈🎉☀️ I love how friendly the customers are too!“

“Small inside, can get crowded when weather isn't nice enough to open outdoor seating. There is indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Foods good, small menu but the whole place is small so it makes sense. Great cocktails and lots of vegan/vegetarian options. Vibe is chill and daily specials on the whiteboard keep it fresh. Its a cool little place.“

“Nice atmosphere and staff.“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere, staff, amazing brunch and of course the bottomless coffee. So worth the trip to downtown Colorado Springs“

“PGs is my favorite morning spot in Manitou. The atmosphere is casual and cozy and they have many gluten free options !“

“Been to the one in Breckenridge so thought I’d check this one out since I liked that one. Ice cream is good but I’m not a fan of the load music choices going on there. I’m old so don’t mind me but you should appeal to all ages sure I’m not the only one that won’t walk in there again if it’s like that next time I’m there. We go downtown for dinner on the weekend and thought we’d get ice cream instead of dessert in the restaurant for a change.“

“I have to be downtown for the week and was looking for something for lunch that is healthy, delicious, and great atmosphere. Toastique is ALL THAT!!! Fantastic toasts (Tuscan Tuna is my fav) and a great friendly staff. 12/10 would recommend.“

“They have the best Taco Salad.“

“amazing place and great staff“

“We visited this place yesterday. I had a latte that was divine and my husband loved the cold brew. My family and I also had some breakfast sandwiches and burritos that were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!“

“Ohana is an actual family, a true third space, it feels for me like a reprieve from the rest of the world that often doesn’t feel it was built for me. I love this place but more importantly I love these people.“

“Not a bad place to get something to eat“

“Shout out to the Cucuru crew for making a first time ever thing happen last night ! Way to kill it y’all!!“

“I've been here only a few times but the food is the best. It seems to be pretty empty often, which is a shame but also means you'll be served very quickly. Top notch food, some pretty common as well as unique groceries, definitely worth stopping by. Good prices and large portions.“

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

“Great food and the staff was so helpful and friendly, the music was a little too loud so early in the morning, but I enjoyed my breakfast!“

“Just a fun and good weird feel went there for a soccer documentary with the switchbacks“

“wonderful place great food great people I'll be back“

“The coffee is very flavorful and fresh, still not worth the $8 drip coffee plus tax and a hidden gratitity fee for a simple brew. No fancy drink just plain black coffee and it was only the fourhs full!! The pastries same story. I paid $25 for a regular coffee and pastry. I was disappointed in the atmosphere, would love a place to sit and relax, but it did not match the hotel. Bright florecent lights and one large table shoved on the side. I went out to the hotel to enjoy, and did! The workers were nice and efficient, but the two who were just standing around were very loud and obnoxious. Playing hand games and laughing very loud right at the register and counter, felt unprofessional and annoying.“

“Picturesque scenery, fantastic people, good food, and great drinks“

“The coffee was delicious and the staff was very polite and friendly!“

“The food was delicious. Our server, Erin, was great. she kept us up to date with the status of our order. There were some delays with food orders. Our issues were with the owner. I found a hair in my food and brought it to the attention of our server. She took my plate to the back and shortly thereafter, the manager came out and apologized and offered to remake my order. Erin also offered a complimentary desert, which I accepted. The issue appeared to be resolved until the owner came out and began trying to give me a cooking lesson. She was extremely condescending and spoke to me as if I have never cooked in my life. When I gave her brief overview of my cooking experience, she kept questioning me. As an owner, she should probably learn to keep her mouth shut and stop being so confrontational.“

“Every time we come to sacred grounds, the food dessert and drinks never disappoint whether it’s breakfast lunch or dinner. I’ve never had a bad meal here. I am also obsessed with the lemon blueberry cake, it is the best cake I have ever had in my life. The outdoor patio is so beautiful and cozy. Natasha is so friendly!“

“I’m here at least once a week. Love the cozy friendly neighborhood vibes“

“Best sandwiches!! My husband and I absolutely loved the food, the tiramisu was delicious and I had a really delicious blueberry/raspberry smoothie, we will definitely be back for more.“

“Amazing food, Lana and Angie!! I’m
GF and eat healthy and absolutely loved my dish. Just ate here and the food was so good!! Would love to eat here again. Healthy and affordable. Great menu options for the whole family (kids loved it). Kids ran around and played outside.“

“We took this 1 hour railway to Pikes Peak. Is a lovely train ride up. I am note giving this a better rating but it was TOO CROWDED and the row facing us had 4 people for 2 seats (children on the laps of parents). There is not enough room for this and they should not be allowed to do this. The views were fantastic. Even with mandated masks there were too many people too close together (given covid). Saw arctic gull and mule deer during the ride. Conductor gave us details about the area, train history and the views.“

“It was NYE morning, we saw the open sign and no cars. We had the the whole place to ourselves. sharon informed us the she will be closing the doors in 2 weeks. She let us pick a commemorative mug from the wall. Talk about timing. This was the best breakfast I've had in a loooong time! get in there before you can't.“

“On our brief stay this little shop was a highlight. The staff, Elena and Claire, were welcoming and friendly. They even gave us some great recommendations for us to check out when we told them where we were headed. If we lived here, I’d get coffee here every day.“

“Amazing coffee! Better food! And the sweetest of staff! “Rin” recommended menu items, customized my order, and called me by name when delivering my sourdough breakfast sandwich that was utterly divine. She & Rheanna make a great, personable, and comedic team of baristas! It’s nice seeing people that like people and enjoy their job!“

“This is so delicious 😋 definitely a good snack for someone watching calories. It’s also gluten free“
