Stopped in to support local business on our way from Canon City to Denver. Loved my latte choice and had the most delicious gluten free treat! Cute place that I would frequent if I lived closer.

Ordered a sandwich with pickles alongside a large Americano. Total came out to just under $20. Sandwich didn't come with pickles and looked like it could made with $2 worth of ingredients from the Safeway next door. Amicable service but probably won't be back here again.

I've been here a handful of times. Each time I am impressed with the friendliest staff. I had the Pina colada energy frozen drink. It was delicious. But what I keep coming back for is the buffalo chicken burrito. OMG I love it. Y'all gotta try this!! The chorizo burrito looks like it sells out a lot but I haven't tried it, they have a veggie one too. But that buffalo chicken yummmmm! Don't ever take this off the menu!

Delicious coffee, great vibes, most things, if not all, made in-house fresh. Cheaper than corporate alternatives but better quality all around, a great local business!

Wonderful coffee shop. Great food and such a wide variety of drinks. My favorite place for comforting atmosphere and to be able to study. I feel great to be able to bring my kids and enjoying time spent around the table. Definitely an experience.

Coffee is great, food not so much. Pricey for what you get. Nice local spot to hang out though

Their burritos are top notch, the salsa is phenomenal, the bear claw is incredible, and the coffee is… coffee. Still all around good!

Went here for the first time last weekend since I like to support small businesses. I got an iced coffee, since there's. no cold brew, and the "vegan" chorizo burrito. However, the burrito was in fact not vegan at all, as the associate lied to me. Vegans beware, I will not return here. Furthermore, establishment not clean and orderly. Sub-par coffee as well, as cold brew option doesn't exist.

The cherry almond cake and the bacon and cheese quiche is to die for! So much better than Starbucks! I also get a Turkey Melt each day! Highly recommend.

This review is a little late but I came in on 12/27 and got a chorizo burrito and the date on the burrito was 12/4… so I paid almost $7 for a burrito that’s nearly a month old… gross.

I didnt get any food, but the coffee was great. Reason I am docking a star is because of a few minor issues. First, the man who took my order just seemed totally uninterested in actually having customers. Felt like I was interrupting his computer browsing. Sorry for interrupting you to put in an order. The barista who made my coffee was wonderful though. Next, the disjointed atmosphere. You can see the new owner's influences and the old owner's style. The place has a log cabin vibe with a Middle Eastern themed corner and random rugs that don't match at all. Its a minor gripe, but a gripe none-the-less. And finally, I feel like they have a missed opportunity. The owner is clearly Middle Eastern. Likely Kurdish based off the decor in the corner. I think it would be great if the owner embraced something to set the store apart. As it stands right now, its a coffee shop. They have pretty much all the stuff you'd expect a coffee shop anywhere to have. They do it pretty well. But they could make themselves stand out by offering Middle Eastern coffee styles as well. Would be cool to be able to get a Turkish coffee outside of a Middle Eastern restaurant. And then the Middle Eastern influences on the store wouldn't feel so out of place, either. So yeah, if you are in the area, this is a good place to grab a cup of coffee. As it stands right now though, it is nothing to go out of your way for.
