Switchback Coffee Roasters, Hillside

This is a meeting spot of choice for me because it is located at an easy place to get to. It also offers easy parking and a nice quiet environment where you can talk to people.

I love the natural light they have coming from the big windows.

There is plenty of seating whether you want to be next to a window, or tucked in a more private corner.

In the winter months my only complaint would be that it can smell really strong of bacon or whatever is being cooked inside, which I am not a fan of if I have a meeting before heading to work. Super personal preference but I don’t like smelling of food all day.

In the warmer season, however, the windows open and make for a fantastic, breezy cafe you can just spend all day at!

They have outdoor seating in the warmer months too, which is also very pleasant as you’re surrounded by mature trees. In some ways it reminds me of European settings in bigger cities.

The menu looks great, with great options for any taste. There never seems to be a shortage of customers who order breakfast.

My go-to is their vanilla late which always comes looking and tasting beautiful. The staff is very friendly, always smiling.

Great place to sit for a few hours of work or to meet with friends and/or colleagues!

the selection of choices for both food and drink make this place worth while. their lattes come with beautiful designs and you can tell that the people that work here love what they do and try to put effort into their jobs. the girls that were working at the counter were really nice and made conversation with me as i ordered. the prices are on the expensive end. my latte without syrup and with regular milk cost 4.87. it’s in such a nice and quiet place tho, with an elementary school by (great parking). i love how this place is not too busy and very chill for working and studying. they have a couch, tables, wooden booths, and outside seating. their decor is really pretty, simple, and modern. the music is right down my alley and not too loud so that you can concentrate. it’s a medium sized coffee shop (from the ones i’ve been to), with perfect amount of seating and room to order. they’ve got delicious pastries and food options, that are pretty presentation wise. it took them longer to bring out my latte than other coffee shops. i didn’t mind tho, it wasn’t abnormally long. the latte itself had a great foam on top. usually foam is pretty frothy and bubbly, but they made it thick and creamy (in a good way) without making you burp if that makes sense 😅. the taste wasn’t really special tho. it tasted like a normal latte and for the price ig i was expecting something more exceptional. their lighting is nice and bright too. this place is next to downtown so it’s perfect for grabbing a coffee and walking around. it’s in such a cute neighborhood too with great big oaks and calm people.

Located in a quiet neighborhood, Switchback Coffee Roasters has a modern feel in a historic building with spacious seating arrangements inside and out. Good for small groups or as a single customer. Friendly service with a nice selection of food and beverage items that are reasonably priced.

Very sweet staff. Delicious coffee and great atmosphere inside & out. Had a delicious breakfast sandwich that was filling, fresh & not too expensive.

Very lovely place and nice staff. I love sitting there nearby the window, looking at the trees outside.
The menu is limited but delicious; if you need a sandwich or a cookie, they get you covered, and they also have lighter options, too.
An interesting concept of chosing coffee price. The rest is a bit pricey but, again, delicious.
The major improvement that I'd recommend is training staff a bit better because they forget a lot of things, so check your orders thoroughly when you make them. However, I won't have a heart to lower the rating because they are all truly trying to do their best.

Both times I’ve been to this coffee shop have been below average experiences. The lattes are organic and tasty, but they never come out hot if you are getting something to go. The last time I went it was a quiet morning, and it took over 10 minutes to get my latte. Once I finally did, it was lukewarm, almost cold.

This place is bomb, good food, coffee, music atmosphere. The breakfast sandwich is ridiculous!!!!! Go here!!!!

What a great location and some of the best bacon, too. Love the feel and the look.

The coffee is great! The breakfast sandwich is what prompted this review though. Got the sausage with the chipotle jam…it was of the firemost quality. Will be back!

One of the best Cortado’s I’ve ever had. These folks take the time to get it RIGHT. And I appreciate that! Wish I lived in Colorado Springs, I’d be here daily
