Switchback Coffee Roasters - Shooks Run

Love the atmosphere, and the latte with honey lavender... so smooth. The avocado sandwich was so good, I only have a picture after I ate it.

Eclectic little coffee shop surrounded by residential areas. Very short menu of breakfast items only, but what I had was very good. Friendly staff could spend a little less time being friendly with each other and more time making things happen in the restaurant. Other than the slows, a good stop for a cup.

In from out of town and I was hoping to find a good coffee shop. And I definitely found one. Walking up to the Cafe, one can immediately tell that the quality of the bean was there. I decided on a 12oz latte and was very pleased with my choice. Not too hot, not overwhelming, but perfect. I definitely recommend the Latte

Friendly staff. Lots of natural lighting. Music isnt too loud. Lots of local drink and food options. Local roasted. Minimal outlets but plenty of seating. Outdoor area for pets.

Five Stars.
I came here a year ago, and made a point to come back again the next time I found myself in Colorado Springs. I forgot how great this place is! Firstly, it is important to note that I am from Kansas City and have been to countless coffee shops. In my opinion, customer service begins when customers enter the door, and ends when they leave. I cannot tell you how many shops I have entered where they greet you, serve your coffee, then call it good. Switchback, on the other hand, greeted me when I stepped in the front door, and a polite young woman placed a glass jug of water and two glasses on my table for myself and my girlfriend within 15 seconds.
Everyone who I interacted with was so incredibly kind, and the menu features the perfect balance of your basic coffee and espresso drinks (also including chai tea, matcha tea, and kombucha) and a food/pastry portion of the menu with plenty of unique and exciting options. I got a Cortado and it was incredible - served with a side of club soda on top of a solid piece of wood.
The space is lively, but relaxed, with plenty of seating to fit your needs. Natural light pouring through the facade and upper windows lining the walls allow for indoor plants to cascade down the walls, providing a beautiful and natural feel with the white walls and wood accents and furniture.
If you've read this whole thing, then great! All you really need to know is that this shop is great and you should most definitely find your way here if you ever find yourself in Colorado Springs.

Great service and awesome pastries. The mini beet quiche is to die for. Most def one of the best coffee shops in Colorado Springs.

Love this place. Best place to sit outside. They have amazing food and the pour over is awesome. Everything is gorgeous from the atmosphere to the food. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly.

I love the location, the staff, and the decor. There is lots of seating and the minimal, hip design is great! I love the amount of light here. I feel fresh and clear just sitting sipping coffee at Switchback.

I admit I'm old-fashioned and like chocolatey coffee, versus their currently cool bitter/sour/fruity coffee. But the selections of drinks, tasty treats, and breakfast items are quite good.

Great local spot! My husband and I were visiting the area for a few days and came in our last morning for breakfast. The energy inside was calm, welcoming, and the staff was great.

When I heard the egg crack and hit the griddle I knew I was in for a delight. However, when I took that first bite and tasted the green chiles I was thrilled. (It’s the little things - but they don’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.).

Saved as a go to spot every time we are in the area. Thanks for the great coffee and breakfast sandwich.

I'm more of a "desert coffee drinker" which load of creamer or sweet added to it, at having a latte that stands on its own as drinkable without anything besides milk froth is amazing to me, wonderful staff too, all very friendly.
