The Loft - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Coffee was amazing as well as the small town atmosphere. We tried all the coffee shops in town and this was definitely our favorite spot. The bagels are large so come hungry or even better just share. Only feedback I would leave was just to much cream cheese that I couldn’t taste the cheese on my bagel

A wonderful coffee shop in Manitou Springs with a warm and cozy interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The shop offers plenty of space, making it a comfortable spot to relax.

The coffee was smooth and satisfying, and the breakfast burrito was delicious. After a short walk outside in the winter, enjoying a cup of coffee with a small appetizer in this cozy setting was truly delightful.

This place is my favorite coffee shop in Colorado Springs area. The service and atmosphere are so inviting. Lots of seating inside and some seating g outside. They allow pups inside as well, which was amazing for us cause we brought our pups with us and they loved saying hi to everyone. All the drinks were delicious and my husband loved his avocado toast, said it was the best one he’s had. My sister loved her matcha, said it was a five star. I loved my iced chai tea, I did do half the sweetener cause it’s fairly sweet

If you’re hungry and you like delicious food and a great beverage this is the place to go. I’ve gone at least a dozen times and every single thing I’ve tried had been fresh, delicious, and affordable! Their focaccia is currently my go to for any sandwich. The Loft is one of my favorite places in Manitou of all time. Whenever I go in, I see so many familiar faces from all over the town all standing in line to get a bagel and a cup of joe. Even my neighbor who I rarely bump into outside of our block (and who is nearing his 80s) goes at least once a week. The Loft’s a local watering hole vibe is a prime example of how a business can be successful by catering to tourists AND locals.

Anytime someone asks me where to get a coffee or something to eat in the Springs I point them to The Loft. It is the first place I take friends who come to visit.

The Loft has truly has become a gem of Manitou 💕✨

Thank you!!!!

I live in Manitou and work from home, so I stop by The Loft on my lunch hour probably (definitely) multiple times a week at this point. I realized I had never left a review!

I’ve always wanted a “community” coffee shop near me that wasn’t Starbucks, and I’m so happy that The Loft is here. The staff is always incredibly friendly, the food is absolutely excellent (my personal recommendation is the Farmhouse on sea salt bagel), and the drinks are also so good. They do frequent specials that go along with the season, and there’s basically guaranteed to be one you’d like. My personal favorite right now is the “Doc Holliday” latte, which is a latte with huckleberry!

I think I’ve conditioned myself to make the walk down to The Loft anytime there’s heavy snow, because their food & drinks are just so warm and uplifting!

Not to mention the donut/pastries they also make. They make some absolutely incredible cinnamon rolls from time to time. Donut-wise, my personal favorites are the apple cider and raspberry ginger (I think that’s what it’s called, I got it yesterday and thought it was SO good). But, like their drinks, it’s always revolving along with the seasons, so no matter what your taste may be, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

Even when they’re absolutely slammed, they still get to you quickly and I promise it’s always worth the wait. If I drive by somewhere like Starbucks and see that there’s a line, I know that it won’t even be worth sitting in it. But here, it’s absolutely worth the wait!

Hands-down the best place in Manitou to get some coffee or something to eat.

I recently visited your establishment and was struck by its charm and the generally good food. However, I was disappointed with the service. When placing my sandwich order, I was not asked about any additional items such as sauce or butter, which resulted in an extremely dry sandwich. I believe your staff should proactively ask customers if they would like any extra items on their sandwich, as is common practice in many other places.

While the venue is beautiful and the staff is friendly, the overall experience left me unsatisfied. Given the high prices, I expected better service and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning.

Would not recommend

Great fresh bagels! Creative sandwiches and lots of beverage options. Vibe was so cozy and relaxing, allowed us to bring our dog in too. 🙂

No place in manitou deserves its positive ratings more than the Loft. My partner and I moved to manitou 8 months ago and live around the corner. We work from home so like to come here for breaks during the day, as well as before or after hikes on the weekend. Always good vibes in the loft, a puppy or two, and amazing food.
