Yummy pizza and live entertainment!
Great coffee shop downtown that is part of the Poor Richard's complex. Nice chill atmosphere and good drinks.
Great live music and the person at register was super friendly. Not much space to sit but it was a very busy night so it was understandable most seats were taken.
I love poor Richard's!
Great spot to grab a coffee or glass of wine. Bonus that you can also order lunch/dinner items from their attached sister restaurant. As well as shop for cards, books, gifts, etc from the attached stores.
It's a great music venue. It took a long time to get our food
The barista is very friendly, but the ingredients in the chai coffee is the worst I’ve ever had.
I enjoyed the food and drink I ordered and the music on Saturday night was excellent!
Rico’s Café is a great place to have coffee/tea and just relax. Not only is it a coffee shop, they have a wide selection of greeting cards and gifts to choose from. The tea and coffee selection is very large, this is a great place to relax, study and shop for small gifts.
A nice quiet spot for a cup of tea.
My favorite Mocha hands down, is at Rico's! They know how to make coffee here. I'd rather get my coffee from a small local place, rather than a large chain.
I'm pretty saddened by my first visit back after Rico's closed last year. The only place I really wanted back was RICO'S! But guess what - a giant sign on the front door that "MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR EVERYONE due to the delta variant" shows that they aren't like everywhere else in Colorado Springs. They might be THE ONLY PLACE IN COLORADO SPRINGS FOR DINING THAT REQUIRES MASKS FOR EVERYONE. Bummer. They were completely empty tonight. Gluten free options limited to only the macaroons. I am gluten free and also need food, not just cookies. Their wi-fi on the patio wasn't up to par, so I had to come inside. Not the Rico's I used to know. Won't be back.
Amazing service. All the staff are very helpful with menu choices. Great atmosphere with music playing at a reasonable volume. They also have live music during the evenings. A fine selection of healthy food choices(regular diet, gluten free, and vegetarian and vegan), and great drink selections(including wine, beer, coffee, sodas, and hot and cold teas). It comes with the best of bonuses - a connection to 3 other businesses - Poor Richard's (books both new and used and other small items), Little Richard's (a toy and game store for kids of all ages), and Poor Richard's Restaurant (pizza!) Best place in Colorado Springs!
My first impression is not good. I think it’s awesome that there is a coffee shop open right. It’s even cool that they had live music. However, maybe I’m just a Gen X’er with too high of expectations. But seriously, it was 9:50 PM and we were rudely let know the place closes in 10 minutes. Seriously, you are a wine bar. A simple last call, we’re closing in 10 minutes announcement to the whole restaurant would’ve been much better. But having an agitated barista walk around telling the tables they close in 10 minutes, does not make me feel like I want to come back here again. I will try the coffee in the morning when I don’t feel like I’m gonna get kicked out. Just to be clear, I’m fine with the closing time and with us having to leave. What’s not cool is the rude attitude.
Their pizza though. Plus love the little kids area in the back. Lyft Code: paola81120 Uber Code: paolap860ue
Enjoying a glass of wine and good music
Love this place. Got to meet some great guys who meet in the morning to play cribbage.
Love the atmosphere. Staff was great. The food is overpriced and the unwrapped treats were hard and unappealing. However, I enjoyed my pot of tea and my friend enjoyed his hot chocolate.
Love Rico's with my friends. I don't, however, care for the politics that Colorado Springs City Council displays and it's a shame that Mr. Skorman is President and allows the developments that are happening to our city. I thought we had city codes, evidently we don't if it's profitable to the city. It's a shame.
Been coming here a while ! Great food staff and prices !
