If you are in Old Colorado Springs this is definitely a necessary stop. Its right across from a public park and right around the corner from the main street. It doesnt just have coffee and has a lot of other treats and food for you to enjoy. I absolutely loved the vibe. All walks of life and there was inside and outside sitting/eating areas. I had the caramel delight hot and my daughter had the dark sea iced. Both were delicious. It would highly recommend and would go again!
First time come to Co, first time come to Colorado Springs, first time come to Jives Coffee. The food is perfect, the coffee is delicious, the owners have a very welcoming friendly personality. He even brought a surprise desert to us, how nice he is! This surprised desert definitely made my day. One more thing, you can bring you Dog with you sit outside to enjoy your coffee.
The new ownership/management is absolutely fantastic! I’ve not been in a few years, and today for breakfast was an absolute treat. The owner was friendly and invited us to sit inside when the weather started to turn (even though we had our dog with us.) He was kind to us, and kind to our dog. The americanos and chai latte were fantastic and the breakfast sandwiches were completely delicious. The best part is the service and atmosphere though. Come here!
Absolutely amazing! The two people working were so kind, and very warm. The croissant sandwiches are delightful and definitely worth the 8.80!! Drinks are good warm or iced, and the vibe is so chill, a very beautiful outdoor area as well! They even brought us out free dessert and it so amazing!! Seriously amazing, warm brownies with whipped cream and cinnamon!
Was just passing through Colorado Springs with a few friends and we really enjoyed ourselves here! Such a lovely place! Tasty coffee and food, nice staff, warm atmosphere. Im actually a little sad they dont have cafes like this where I currently live but will definitely visit here again the next chance I get!
Very much enjoyed our visit for a quiet break. They are successfully re-creating a French cafe experience in Colorado! Great place to sit and enjoy conversation with friends with a nice coffee (or other drink). Truly a jem not to be missed.
Such a great place employees were so kind and making sure to give my kids the best time:) definitely going back!
Theyre a great place to hang out in a group or alone. Great coffee thats a blend of various coffees (Ive been told but havent confirmed). Personally, whoever does it has a fantastic sense of the nuances of coffee flavors, so if youre a black coffee drinker like myself youll love it! They even sell these blends and they are worth it! They are a friendly business that actually cares about you. If you become a regular and talk to them, they will start asking you how your life is. Its genuine and not just being friendly. That speaks volumes to the quality of people running this place. They have heart and it shows! 5 out of 5 stars every time!
Great first experience for sure. The place has a nice atmosphere, a solid menu, great location, and the customer service was excellent and the co-owner was incredibly friendly. The coffee was very good, the mulled wine was a great way to start a Saturday, and the breakfast sandwiches were tasty. Well probably become regulars here.
I cant say enough good things about this place. The vibes, the food, the drinks. Its amazing
This is a repeat stop of mine and my wifes. The ambiance is nice and its typically very quiet here. The owners are typically the ones up front. They go the extra mile for pretty much anything. Want a pastry heated up? No problem, theyll just add a little caramel drizzle, powdered sugar, and whipped cream to the side. No big deal. Want a tasty warm drink? Literally order anything off the menu and it wont disappoint. I really enjoy supporting small businesses and thats why Ill go here over any chain. The service, the detail, and the quality are all there. Id definitely recommend Jives to anybody.
100% recommend if you want a homey place and to feel like family!
The management is fantastic. Very friendly and awesome coffee. Tons of options. Relaxing atmosphere. Definitely top coffee spot in old town
Nostalgia, cozy, and warm people and atmosphere. This is my new place to meet up or bring selected out-of-towners to this place. It says Old Colorado City and it feels it, too. The food is great and well worth the wait.The coffee is just right, and coupled with the experience, makes me want to live here in the lounge and never go home.Youre just across the street from the park, the library and downtown shopping.(The typewriter is fully functional. You just need your own typewriter eraser and paper, if you want to re-live the past :)
Grubhub delivery available!Love this place, you won’t get this from a big chain fresh coffee good bagels 🥯 cooked to order not microwaved I definitely recommend it specially on chilly days like today.Customer service is the cherry on top the owner is welcoming and very friendly.I’ll deliver from here any time. Download the Grubhub app and The Bronco and I will be there soon!
Coffee was ok not strong enough for me but decent coffee
Owner was extremely nice and could tell we were from out of town. He hooked it up with a free desert! The coffee was delicious too.
The best!! My family and I came across Jives by luck as we were walking around and looking for a place to grab a bite to eat. Not only are their in-house coffee beverages and other drinks delicious, their sandwiches, croissants, and paninis are amazing! Also, the interior space is so adorable! Its beautifully decorated and there are board games, and a stage for live music. Id love to come back and see a performance sometime! Definitely stop by if you are in town!!
Im usually just getting a coffee here, which is quite good. The one time I ate a breakfast, I forget what it was, but I recall it being quite good. One of the best things about this place is the vibe, which is kind of eclectic, kind of cool. Lots of seating, both indoors and out.
Great atmosphere and service. During the week, morning and afternoon the parking is great! Personalized service and great options for a morning/afternoon meetings or to catch up with friends. Child and dog friendly which were big plus for me! Definitely adding it to the weekly routine! Comfortable park across the street and very clean!
Such a cute spot right off of a park. Lovely coffee and food selection. Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch!
Fantastic service! The owner takes your order, makes the food and brings out to you. Great environment!
I spent a month in Colorado Springs and this was hands down the best coffee shop in town. Well over a 25 minute drive from my stay, well worth it! Plenty of outdoors and indoor seating and a pretty cool interior. But the best things was... the Black Sea (mocha, caramel, Mediterranean sea salt).... so good. Missing it already! and its close to Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods.
This place is great. The food, staff, ambiance, and location are all five stars for me. I love that its tucked off Colorado Ave. That made it easy to park and didnt have to worry about bumping into someone as you walk out the door. The staff was super friendly and made some killer breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. You can see the history here and I will absolutely be back.
The food was so good that my 5 year old son ate it, hes the pickiest eater Ive ever met. Also they came out with a surprise dessert that we did not order, great customer service, makes you feel luxurious, and all this plus a table for chess!!! Amazing!
Nice vibe, nice owner, expensive food, small servings, super busy. The owner is a delight, he flirts with all his lady customers. The small portion sizes on food was a huge disappointment. I paid $12 for a tiny sandwich with some stuff on it. And given the elevated hipster vibe, I was disappointed that I received Cheetos as a side to my sandwich. Honestly what even 😂. I felt really ripped off. I get it’s a party town, but holy crow. Won’t be eating here again.
We stopped just for quick coffee and lunch and we liked it so much that we were back again just few days later! The staff is very friendly and cares about customers. Such a unique and nice place to stop!
Found this place by accident due to road construction on I-25 South. This is a gem that offers great coffee and pastry. It is a quite place to stop and relax when traveling.
Loved the atmosphere of this place. We enjoyed our coffee, tea, and breakfast across the street from the farmers market one Saturday morning. Tables were available inside or on the sidewalk.
Jives Coffee Lounge is amazing. The atmosphere is phenomenal. Thank you Dored for allowing me to conduct my book signing at your location. It was a spectacular experience.
Dog friendly outdoor seating. Highly recommend iced chai latte & the Jives breakfast croissant.
Its really a great experience they make great coffee and breakfast, its a very relaxing atmosphere. The owner is just the coolest guy he really appreciates his customers he will sit with you and talk at times, very intelligent person to conversate with
I can’t recommend Jives enough. The Open Mic nights and concerts are wonderful. The flavored lattes are amazing (Black Sea is my favorite) and the staff is so kind. I used to be here every day in the summertime and it felt like a second home. Their goal is to be a blessing in people’s lives and they absolutely succeed at that. They’re my go to coffee spot in Springs.
Solid food options, plenty of choices for delicious coffee drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating, with a stage full of instruments.The owners are super sweet, they even let us sit inside with our dog on a hot, sunny day.Would return for food, coffee, and a space to work on the computer any day!
Very cute vibe and decor. Live music, great coffee and great ambience.
Great Coffee and great service! Nice place.
Super strong coffee, love it. Owner is a fantastic man, everyone has great vibes. Best coffee. Cool music on the occasion from live artists. The best cafe in OCC.
Coffee was amazing! Lunch sandwiches were so good. We told the owner how much we liked the place and he was so sweet to give us a tiny dessert. Definitely going to be my coffee joint when I’m in the Colorado Springs area.
Pros.1. The atmosphere is great. Very cozy with antique style tables and chairs and good music.2. They regularly have live music.3. Foods are great.4. The staffs are kind.Cons.1. I and my friend suddenly got sick. (diarrheal and pain) I think it is because of the water that the cafe served.2. The sandwich is overpriced. ($8.20-11.80)3. On the menu, here Google map there are vegan options but they do not have vegan options.
My husband and I have been here several times. We both agree it is the Best we have ever had no matter what we order. The owner and employees make everything with love. The decor and atmosphere is wonderful. We recommend everyone should go at least once and you will be hooked.
Called ahead to order 2 bacon egg & cheeses and the woman on the phone was a bit rude. I am from out of town and wanted to just pick up the sandwiches given that I have an 8hr drive ahead of me and the lady on the phone said “you can just come in and order it there’s no one in here” after I already ordered it and after she said she’ll have it ready for me. I’m just so confused. If they don’t want to take over the phone orders then they could have just said that and I would have chosen an alternative place. The icing on the cake is that when I opened the box when I got to the car there was ham, egg & cheese on both sandwiches. Idk if they did that to mess with me or if they didn’t hear me when I said “bacon, egg & cheese”. Saw the reviews and thought I’d give it a try but I regret my decision.
Great coffee, munchies selection looked very good the service and staff was impeccable. Great atmosphere. I look forward to my next visit.
Actually we were parking right across the street at Bancroft park. It did look welcoming.
The coffee was great and I had great service at the restaurant. We dined in and the ambiance was great for a coffee shop
We were going to try a new coffee shop each day of our trip. Starting with these lovely folks ruined it! We came back every chance we had, never trying another shop! They’re such friendly people with EVERY interaction in our group (we were anywhere from 6-12 people a visit).
Prime location. Exceptional customer service. Overall one of my favorites in the States. :)
The decor and atmosphere of this shop is so beautiful. I tried the seasonal latte white chocolate raspberry and it was SO good, my group ended up ordering it as well. Very clean
We visited here from New Hampshire and this place was awesome. Super nice people, incredible food. Looks like a very comfortable place to have a great time at any time of the day. Highly recommended!
Terrific Old Colorado City vibe. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, great menu, and live music!
Baristas are so friendly. The coffee and food are DELICIOUS. And the atmosphere is vibrant but relaxed. Love that they have live music often. I highly recommend this cafe!
Love the atmosphere and severs. I am not in love with the coffee but opt for the mango kumbucha
First and foremost, THANK YOU for amazing customer service. This was our second time stopping by here during our stay in Colorado Springs. We will be back for a third time tomorrow before we leave. The BEST coffee and breakfast bagels. The atmosphere is exactly what youd want at a coffee shop to sit back and relax. All in all, 5 star from my little family!
They have not stream lined their ordering and pickup process. Was in line for 10 minutes because when you order they have you wait there until theyre done making your order. Also wasnt greeted. Three people working and not one of them could take orders while the others prepared them. No social distancing, no masks in sight. When I finally got to the front to ask for my movie order i was asked to move to the side while they made my order so they could wait on everyone behind me. Why was i the only one asked to do that? Ridiculous.
I love Jives! It feels like home here. I cant wait for more live music here to start again. I love the folks who own and manage the place, they are all so welcoming and generous.
Pretty good, great place to meet people playing board games
My first time there! This place is amazing! The staff was incredible, the food was delicious, and it was the BEST coffee.I will definitely become a regular! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. And the atmosphere was phenomenal
Ive been in the Springs for nearly two months now, Ive decided Jives is my favorite space for coffee and work. The vibe is just perfect, prices are fair, and a great location.
They have an amazing spot across from the park. Great coffee and friendly staff.
One of the few things that always brings a smile to my face.
Great place for a meeting and the outdoor space is awesome. Of course the coffee is great too ☕
Absolutely wonderful and worth a stop!! Either food or drink both are fantastic, extremely friendly and accommodating staff, and a lovely atmosphere (as well as they let us know live music back soon!). My first time in got the triple cheese croissant and a blended vanilla delight and both were great
Great food. Great staff. Great atmosphere! If I lived closer, Id love to work here.
Great coffe and amazing food. Perfect atmosphere. I love the outdoor seating!
Great environment, amazing service, delicious food and drinks. New favorite place to go.
Quaint and homey. Coffee and smoothies are both on point. Come hang out to study, chat, read, or chill. Would like to be here one night during live music.
Great coffee, service, and atmosphere whether you sit inside or out. My favorite local coffee shop!
Nice cozy place to sit. The smoothies are good.
Great service with fast food and drink order fulfillment. Staff is very friendly, but a lot of the seating feels less stable for larger customers.
Local coffee shop / cafe with lovely ambiance & vibe. We ordered delicious breakfast sandwiches to-go, & I regretted not staying longer. The menu was made to order & delicious. Great service.
This place is a such a gem. A must visit for Colorado Springs. The service is amazing and so is the coffee and desserts.
Great atmosphere. Better than Starbucks. Live music also.
Great little coffee spot in OCC! The sandwiches are great, and the white chocolate raspberry mocha is worth the visit alone. We look forward to coming back again on an evening where they have live music or stand up. Very nice, cozy little joint with great views of the park.
