Building Three Coffee

This is a super cute place. An old elementary school was turned into a gathering place.

This coffee place took over one class room. Although there were quite a few people in the coffee house it was quite.

It seemed to be the place to study and why not so was a school.

There space is simply decorated which gives off a sense of relaxation.

Their food and teas and coffees were perfect.

If you are looking for a laptop coffee house this isnt for you becuase plugging in will be challenging. Instead bring a book or a friend. Sit down ,lean back and enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee.

I've had both the seasonal Maple Bourbon Honey latte and the Butterscotch latte from here. They have unique and complex latte syrups, which I appreciate. Building III's espresso is rich and smokey. All-in-all, they make a damn good latte.
The atmosphere is simple, open, and clean. The location is great too with lots of seating in the school's halls. The only downside is I feel like this place is the most hipster of all hipster coffee shops in the Springs. Now, depending on who you are, you may absolutely love that. All power to you. However, to us regular jeans and t-shirt people, I think it feels...confusing. I guess I just don't understand what drives one to refuse to brush their hair, but wear designer clothing. Or the guy with the laptop sticker that says, "tax the rich" and yet he's on a new model laptop, with an iPhone in hand, while drinking a drink that likely wasn't cheap. (I'll let the hypocrisy slide...he's young and probably hasn't had Economics 101 yet.)
Regardless, the "hipster-vibe" isn't Building III's fault. But, for some reason they attract a particular group, which in-turn makes this place feel less family-friendly. I don't mind much either way. I always get in some good people watching and I think its important to stay in-touch with all generations. But I wanted to at least mention this in my review: if you're looking for a trendy hang-out, this is the place. If you want to just have some casual coffee and not be surrounded by people glued to technology with an interesting fashion sense...I'd go elsewhere. 😊

What a cool space! I come for the coffee and always leave with new connections or memories and more happiness! Bonus~their decaf coffee is delicious which is hard to find :)

I'd heard a ton about this shop and loved the innovation behind the location! Cool interior, but I felt as though they could have made the interior a little more homey than it was. Felt pretty industrial and cold, even though the furniture and stuff was cool. Good music levels and didnt echo too much though!

Staff were super nice and helpful! Really enjoyed the conversation I had. Normally 5 stars are pretty easy for me to hand out, but I think this time I was a little too under-impressed with the espresso to do so. Maybe it was because the bar had been set so high by others? Unsure. And i will be back to try again cause I dont like to base opinions on 1 visit. But for this first visit my cortado's oat milk was not very hot and curdled in the espresso. Might have also been from the espresso being under-extracted, quite acidic, with a lemony aftertaste. Then the sparkling water that was served with it was flat.

I still drank it, because I wont ever waste what Im given, but I expected better. Big part might have been because the shop closed within the hour, but at a specialty shop like this the quality should be maintained from open to close.

Hoping this was a one-off and I'm excited to go back!

Edit: The next visit was great. Met a friend for coffee and the Christmas Blend was a great change of pace for my morning. Bustling cafe and warm smiles!

Excellent coffee, great service and a nice view. Definitely a nice spot to relax and enjoy a beverage.

Located in the halls of a vacated Elementary School, Building Three Coffee is comfortable, quiet and has a friendly staff. A great place for a Breakfast Burrito and cup of Joe.

Love. Love. LOVE this space— and the humans that reside inside it! Such a warm, inviting, cozy place to unwind, study, relax, and/or connect! Scrumptious drinks & hygge vibes will keep me coming back for more!

Coffee is good, although a little over-priced. Not a good selection of teas. Nice hip, minimal ambience. Staff friendly. (Baked goods are much better next door at Nightingale!)
Update: less enchanted with coffee & baked goods really aren't worth it. I'd give it a 3.5 stars if I could. I was happy they provided a high chair though!

Great little coffee spot. I went here twice and got their house brew and a nitro coffee. All of their offerings were exceptional. I met a friend here as well. This place is dog friendly so she was able to bring her puppy which is a plus. I would definitely go back here again.

I had their Western sandwich with gluten free bagel. It was delicious! And messy lol!
