Coffee Shops in Colorado Springs, CO

In order, from best to least great (they're all really good, though): 1. Loyal coffee- opened by the best baristas in COS, as a passion project. Truly outstanding and exceptional. Roast their own. Great, great kitchen, and some of the best cocktails in COS. This place is head and shoulders above anywhere else in the city. 2. Switchback- 2nd best all around. A lot of the folks who work at loyal used to work here. Quality is right there too. Roast their own. Kitchen is good. No liqour licence because of the Elementary School across the street. A little quieter than the other joints. 3. Building 3- 3rd by a hair. Also roast their own. Kitchen is a little lackluster, but decent pastries. 4. Peak Place- up on the North end. Really good, and have a great beer selection. Marked down mainly on location. Associated with Hold Fast Coffee, owned by the original roaster for Switchback. 5. The principal's office- good coffee, better cocktails, pricy and hipstery, even by craft coffee standards. Also crowded pretty much always. Also, the folks that made it good all work at loyal now. 6. Wild Goose- decent Coffee, great space in a great spot- but their food all comes from Sodexo at inflated prices. Good beer, great people, but not at the level of the rest of the list. Others: The Perk, Jives, coffee exchange, etc: Starbucks but local.

Kawa Coffee at Union and Van Buren!

SE side of town, broadly defined as south of Platte, east of Fountain. Some bad spots farther west. The farther SE you go, the worse it gets.

Jives is a great coffee shop with two locations.

the bad parts are downtown, and its not really 'bad' just a buncha minorities.

Check out Building Three. It's on Cascade in the old Lincoln Elementary. Friendly staff, wifi and great coffee. As for bad parts of town, to avoid as in living near or just casually going through?

Jives, is alright but not terrible. Urban Steam if you are looking for some fun coffee, food and other stuff like whiskey and waffles. Also the bad parts of town... off of Navada south of 25 for about 2 miles is not a good part of town. the 25 Bridge that goes over Navada has a lot of stabbings and a lot of homeless in that park next to the highway. Here is a nice little map for you that I used when I moved here http://i.imgur.com/6 s6UoYw.jpg

Wild Goose was my go-to when I was in the Springs, but it was also right around the corner from my house.

[in no particular order, here is a mostly comprehensive list I put together](https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoSprings/comments/57 xhlj/visiting_for_the_week_looking_for_suggestions/d8 vqd8 e/) I will agree with many others, the top 3 are definitely Loyal and Building 3 (for quality coffee) and Switchback (for atmosphere and food).

Urban steam has food, coffee and booze, love it there!

On the contrary of what has been said of Nevada, it's really not that bad the further north you get. There's a little coffee shop that just opened up a few months ago called Inertia Coffee, and they're absolutely phenomenal. Small shop, but they serve some of the freshest and highest quality coffee I've had in quite some time. Their physical address is 4650 N. Nevada ave C. And here's their website: https://www.inertiacoffee.com

Tammy Butler They are both 1-3. The first one is at Jives Coffee Shop and the second is 225 Coffee shop (at least I think that's the name).

Confirmed the time with Jives Coffee shop, but he need to change the date and times. It will be August 15 th 1-3 (which I know people work)

I can come on the 15 th after craft group. Maybe I can talk some of the group to come, too. I'm putting it on my calendar, Friday the 15 th of August from 1-3 pm at Jives Coffee Shop.

Bobbie Mesite that would be awesome.

Aaron Jalovec?

Annie Tuttle!!!

Annie Tuttle! Go into Cafe 225 and ask for their manager, Renee Brown. They've been looking for new part-time baristas, and I saw their post this morning that they still need one more. You'd be great! You can tell her Brooke & Evan sent you!

Raven Wolf Morningstar!!!

Terrie Cordova have him hit me up.... I know a few people

Kangaroo Coffee in Colorado Springs

Kangaroo Coffee in C/S!!

Cafe Leo in Woodland Park. Dennis Fryer the owner roasts locally.

In Briargate, I like Special Grounds at Union and Briargate Blvd. Downtown, Wild Goose, Switchback, and Loyal.

Black Bear Cafe.... On the southwest side of town. Great local spot with outside seating.
