“As a part of Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA, I came here to experience the Gardens of the Gods and all it has to offer. Love that the park is free, so felt compelled to eat here. I had the Classic Bison Burger the pattie was to juicy and tender made every bite a pleasure to eat.“

“Nice atmosphere and staff.“

“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.“

Always tastes fresh! Their tea selection is outstanding! 💖🌈🎉☀️ I love how friendly the customers are too!“

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

“Best Cotton Candy Ice Cream Ever!!!
This is by far the best place in the Springs for ice cream. You can tell the owner truly cares about the product, quality, and the overall experience of the customer. My only problem is the current location, wish they were still in OCC, or basically anywhere else in the city.“

“We visited Drip Queen for the first time today. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The seating very comfortable- velvet longed chairs. The jazz was flowing from the speakers. We were provided hand towels before dining- very nice touch. I started with a dessert- London Fog Afgogato. Cool and refreshing. We then had the gouda and bacon stuffed mushrooms- soooo good!. Finally we had stuffed clams. Those were yummy as well. I could taste a little Old Bay in them. Yummy! We'll be back“

“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.“

“They have the best Taco Salad.“

“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!“

“The Tuna Toast was very flavorful and filling. I was suprised by the density of it. The juice was very good. Not fresh juiced but they did say it was juiced this morning. I do wish they had stated that the juice came with ice because it took up most the space in the cup and I dont feel as though I got enough juice for the price paid.“

“amazing place and great staff“

“Not a bad place to get something to eat“

“I had to come back and edit my review because once again it’s hands down my favorite place to eat in the Springs!! Great food, great prices, great customer service and made to order.

One of my favorite places for take out food! The food taste delicious, the portions are big and so filling. The Greek salad dressing is amazing!!! I bought extra to take home. Definitely will be back over and over again 😀“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
