“Food was fantastic. We hiked the incline and wanted some coffee and good breakfast sandwich. We got both. The staff was fantastic! They are super friendly and on top of things. We stepped away for 5min from our table to get a pastry after our sandwich and came back to our table being cleaned off lol. They do free refills so it was all good. But I appreciated that they were cleaning up behind patrons. There is so much to look at here! Lots of plants make the place feel calming.“
“OMG This place totally hit the spot! My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch. I had the Reuben and I can honestly say I've never better one and I grew up in New York. The rye bread was perfect and the corn beef was exactly the right texture to offset the sauce. My husband had bacon pancakes and they were fluffy, golden, and delicious.10/10 highly recommend for a quick bite when out and about in Manitou Springs.“
“Service was great and so were the little items around the store to peruse while you wait. My family is from New Orleans and have had beignets from there more times than I count so I was hesitant to try these. I shouldn’t have been! These are the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans. Made me want to take a trip back there since it’s been a couple years. Would gladly bring family here. Tried the chocolate dipping sauce to change it up a bit and not sure I’d get again but it was good!“
“We got the Turkey Pesto hot sandwich on a Kaiser Roll which included kettle chips and a pickle. My wife ordered strawberry banana smoothie and I got black berry Boylands Natural soda.The food was excellent. We sat Inside at a booth for two, great atmosphere. We will go back again!“
“What a great place to eat. The cooks are spot on, making no mistakes. They are excellent cooks. The waitress Rylie was so kind, friendly and attentive. The waitress was so accommodating, attention to detail and full of joy! You can tell immediately when you walk in that the customers are all treated as if they are family. The food is so delicious and made to order. Highly recommend this restaurant. Susie has an amazing restaurant and menu.“
“Love, love, love this place! Exactly what a cozy, neighborhood coffee shop should be. Delicious eats, a wide variety of coffees and teas, and warm, friendly service. It's a great place to pick up something tasty and quick to go. Even better, bunker down and enjoy a leisurely morning in a very welcoming environment. Your first visit won't be your last!“
“Going to Briar Mart was a very good experience. This was our second trip there. The food was authentic Greek and was very tasty. We all had the Gyros platter that included a great Greek salad with all the trimmings. And the Baklava was just out of this world! Since my son lives in Colorado Springs and we live in Thornton, we don't get to go that often, so we do try to go whenever we go to see him. If you enjoy Greek dishes, this is a very good place to go.“
“OKAY AMAZING. it’s small but so cute. there’s outdoor seating in the warmer months. i got the Tuscan and my husband got the Tartufo Pork. both were incredible. the owner really makes these sandwiches, cookies, and coffees with love. anticipate a little bit of a longer wait - but it’s worth it.“
“My first time going today and will definitely go back ! I had a question about one of their coffees and the cashier was very informative. Though, I needed more caramel , I went back if they could add more and they were so polite and didn’t make me feel like a nuisance. Food was delicious!!!“

“Cuban Sandwich wins! My friend and I shared the Pupitas, Quesadilla and the Cuban Sandwich.The Cuban Sandwich stole the show. Pulled pork, ham, pickles, mustard and cheese on a grilled hoagie roll had me immediately texting my Cuban friend all about it. Delicious and obviously some effort and time went into the pulled pork.Crazy good coffee too. I hope this place gets discovered and supported.“
“A really good chai latte, a full bar, and great options that won't break the bank. So nice.Dietary restrictions: They have delineated options for gluten free and dairy free making it easy to stay within your dietary restrictions. I am allergic to eggs and had no problem eating brunch or finding an option for myself.“
“Cool-looking spot, and the staff members were nice. The drinks were good, but the drink menu was limited. We were also surprised a place that literally has the word cocktails in the name closes at 6pm -- hopefully the downtown location will extend its hours at some point!“
“I am ashamed to say... I have passed by but never stopped at this lovely coffee shop, until today! Cozy and upbeat modern vibe. Plenty of indoor twosome seating as well as tables for "working". Outdoor seating is welcoming . Staff were attentive and sweet. Coffee was great, the pastries were surprisingly unique! This is my new favorite place to chill!“
“I’ve been going to Ohana for quite sometime now and in my opinion Alex is the best kavatender ever! Alex is so joyful to be around and makes everyone laugh! She is attentive to everyone and if you have questions her explanations are easy to understand. Alex is also the tea and kava guru, coming up with the best flavors to mix with kava along with the loose leaf teas if you want to mix those as well! Her recommendations do not disappoint and I ended up drinking some wonderful tea and some good tasting kava!“
“Awesome breakfast! Our drink was amazing! It was a pomegranate margarita, which was poured at our table... nice touch!I had the barbacoa chilaquiles... the red sauce tasted amazing!!My friend had the lemon blueberry French toast! What's not to love!?Plenty of parking... amazing service! Definitely going back for more soon!“
“Iconic. Amazing. Beautiful. These are from the reviews of others, and I'd echo these terms and many more, with regard to this incredible wonder. I've long wanted to drive to the top and we did so on a recent visit. It was early November on an uncharacteristically warm day with beautiful clear skies as we began our ascent, and the weather stayed perfect the whole time, getting colder as we ascended of course. The drive itself starts out very mildly in terms of grade, and frankly, excitement, but it definitely saves the best stuff for later. Once you get into the seriously twisty and steep bits, the trees start to part and reveal the spectacular views as you get higher and higher. Our rented Toyota 4 Runner was more than capable, and got us up and down with aplomb. We were initially excited as we reached the summit, until we got out of the car and headed to the visitor center. It was at that point that my wife and I both realized we had a bit of altitude sickness, in the form of dizziness, light headedness and she even had a smidge of nausea. We were surprised and how, well, almost terrible we felt. We grabbed a couple of quick pics and began our descent, and we began to feel better soon thereafter. So, be prepared for the possibility. As we came back down, we stayed in first gear on the 4 Runner much of the way, and at the mandatory brake check, the checker commented that our brakes were under 100 degrees and that we were doing a great job. The view was even better on the way down. If you're ever in this area, this is a must-do and must-see. It is everything that everyone says, totally awesome.“
“We have had brunch there twice now on our vacation. Yummy food, friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices. Only complaint was we asked for a sandwich to go to take hiking and they made us buy the sides,too (as if we would take FF on a trail!)“
“We’ve always been big fans of carnelian coffee, but I wanted to extend some extra gratitude today. My young daughter and I were today and unfortunately she got her hands on a candle and broke the glass. The woman behind the counter, who I believe is the owner, was so gracious about the incident. This meant so much for a solo mom! She made me feel very welcome, and the coffee and food is always delicious!“
“Absolutely fantastic breakfast!! The breakfast burrito with green chili was not only the best breakfast I’ve had in Colorado Springs but is a top 3 for anything I’ve had ever, anywhere! The French toast was outstanding as well!! It was hot, had warm strawberries and delicious homemade whipped cream and REAL MAPLESYRUP!! I didn’t even have to ask for real maple syrup, it was just what they do!!!And the tequila sunrise with fresh squeezed OJ put it over the top.My family and I absolutely love breakfast and appreciate attention to detail and great food.A lot of places serve a breakfast that is basically Dennys with an increased charge. That was definitely not the case here. This was a chef prepared, made with love, delicious breakfast.And, the service was first class as well. It had snowed over a foot over 2 days and most businesses were closed, but when we walked in, we were greeted as if the restaurant was open just for us. Alie was our main server and bartender and ran the place as if she had built it and owned it herself. She greeted everyone that came in with a super genuine smile and hello and explained the entire menu. Dani was there helping and was incredibly friendly and attentive and professional as well. And not to be forgotten, Nadia was making all of the delicious dishes that made the meal so amazing. We asked a few times which one of them (or all of them) owned the place because they treated it as if it was their own labor of love.We will definitely eat here multiple times every time we visit Colorado Springs.Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-Inns and Dives needs to make a visit to Bird Tree Cafe. He would not be disappointed!!“
“One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, and that includes some of the nicer ones. Great boutique spot in Colorado Springs, with a great bar and coffee area and just a terrific vibe all around. Definitely would stay again, check this place out!“

“This place is so awesome! I had the Banana Nut French Toast with caramel drizzle.-- to die for ?My husband had a Hash Quiche with salad-- yummy! Don't event hesitate! Service and food was top of the line! Can't wait to take any visitors there ?Thank you GOG Marketplace and Cafe!“
“The tortellini is delicious with creamy, cheesy sauce; served with a freshly baked large French bread roll with butter and a side of grapes or cantaloupe. It’s so tasty you may want an extra order to take home for later. The desserts are sinfully delicious. My favorites are the eclairs, the flan, the chocolate mousse & the napoleons. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! You’ll definitely be happy to sit at an outdoor table during warm weather while enjoying the delicious offerings at La Baguette. Bon Appétit!“
“Love the new menu. Something for everyone. Great service and ambiance! Will definitely come back again. Salted Caramel Latte and Western Sandwich were amazing for breakfastVegetarian options: Plenty of veggie optionsParking: Tins of off street parking“
“This was our favorite quick bite spot at the Broadmoor. Staff were friendly, service was quick and food was good. We always found a place to sit no matter how busy they looked. We ordered their house coffee, cafe latte, sticky buns, turkey sandwich, fruit cup, strawberry smoothies, croissant filled with cheese and turkey. Highly recommend the croissant with turkey and cheese as it was flavorful. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. Average cost was $50+“
“Some of the best quiche i've had outside of chicago. Macaroons were on point. Our host alie was new to baking- but the team in the back of the house comunes regularly with the better angels of world class baking. The hours are later to start and earlier to close- but well worth the 5 dollar parking if your not lucky enough to be a guestKid-friendliness: Two year old had an ace time at macroons.Wheelchair accessibility: All valet accessable as well“
“Everything came out perfect. I got the bacon and blu burger and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. The only down side to this place is the beer selection is pretty small and you have to bus your own table.Parking: If the parking lot is full there’s more spots on the street“

“Stopped in for a morning coffee before hitting the road. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere, and seems like a good place to knock out something due before a deadline or wait for inspiration to strike while gazing at the mountains, especially with WiFi and a printer available. A good sized menu with several unique blends of coffee to try. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte on ice, and they got it right out. Good coffee, service and view. Definitely worth the visit.“
“Went on vacation to Colorado and this restaurant was the absolute best restaurant. They have the best fish and chips I have tasted. We have been to several different states and it just does not compare. On our last day we had breakfast and the breakfast burrito is a must!!!! Best restaurant ever!“
