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!

This place and the employees has some creepy bad vibes. I can do without the charles manson stare from apostle billy joe bob at the counter. Will never come here again.

I adore this cafe! It was the perfect space to knock out some work, and chat with the owners about their story. If you love great food, drinks, and conversation, this is the place to be!

Very happy with the experience we had here. The sandwich and soup was delicious. The service was amazing considering how busy they were as one of the only places open at the time. The lemon and ginger tea was great. Highly recommend checking them out.

Delicious sandwiches (piping hot, so fair warning) that are a good value with lots of unique options. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very inviting. Sit in one of their custom booths and feel like you're in a tavern of Middle Earth while trying some Maté, which they are very proud of and will let you sample first.

Meta Factory Cafe: A Warm Refuge with Whimsical Brews in Manitou SpringsSeeking a cozy nook to escape the Manitou Springs chill? Look no further than Meta Factory Cafe, a charming spot that blends the warmth of a homie pub with the allure of unique, "coffee-alternative" drinks.Forget your standard lattes and espressos – Meta Factory's menu is a playground for the health-conscious and curious. My "Old St. John" was a revelation, a vibrant mix of beet, ginger, apple, and turmeric that tasted like sunshine in a mug. My partner's "Carbon Steamer" was equally delightful, a bubbly blend of activated charcoal, lemon, and mint that cleansed and invigorated.But Meta Factory is more than just its innovative drinks. The atmosphere is pure pub gold: exposed brick walls, plush armchairs, and dim lighting that invites conversation and lingering. The staff, friendly and knowledgeable about their quirky concoctions, add to the charm. I felt like I was catching up with old friends, not just ordering a drink.If you're looking for a place to unwind with a warm, healthy libation in hand, Meta Factory Cafe is your Manitou Springs haven.

This was my son's favorite restaurant in Manitou. The ambiance is warm and cozy with cute murals and lots of wood and leather. Very homey! We had a salad, grilled cheese and potato chowder- satisfying and hearty!

Their Ruben was so good. Tender corn beef, perfectly toasted, with mustard instead of 1000 island. Never had Máte before, was refreshing and would order again. The staff was very welcoming, communicative and accommodating. They even asked if I'd like an extra pickle when I split my sandwich. Atmosphere is adorably inviting and everything is on theme down to their hand drawn menus. Sat in the back corner booth next to the open window on a sunny day and it was bliss eating delicious food while enjoying the breeze. Keep it up! Everyone should stop here while visiting Manitou Springs.
