First thing to know: THE WATER. Hits like no other. Thirsty? Come to this Pikes Perk. Not feeling coffee? Come refresh your palette with the complimentary water.Now the coffee: I got an iced latte. The espresso is smooth and not bitter. Great flavor.We also came on a Saturday morning and saw the blue grass band playing! Very pleasant surprise!

Cozy atmosphere with spacious seating inside and out on the patio. A plentiful display of freshly made brunch items and a unique variety of drinks are competitively priced at the counter. Friendly service with attention to detail and time awareness.

Best breakfast sandwich Ive ever had (bacon, egg and Swiss on Croissant)! Always a great atmosphere and the baristas are super quick, even when they are backed up.

Nice coffee house and consistently good. On premises alcohol options should you want to relax with something other than a coffee, tea or smoothie. Or if you want a little of both, try their Irish Coffee. Lunch and breakfast options are served all day. Veteran owned and provides a discount for those that serve/served. Overall, a nice pit stop to decompress from the Springs traffic.

Good espresso drinks. Haven’t tried the other menu items, but the things that other people ordered looked good. Will go back.

Super weird atmosphere and the workers were really awkward and didnt even bother to acknowledge us when we came in until I said something. Coffee was okay but I will most likely go somewhere else

Comfortable home-town coffee lounge with local art and delicious refreshments. The coffee is excellent and the barristas are talented and nice. Good place to have meetings.

I always love coming to Pikes Perk. The environment is ideal for studying, hanging out, and even welcoming for children. The service is exemplary, the coffee is strong and fresh, and the food is always a treat. I have never had a negative experience in the two years I have been going.

I am making a round of all of the Black owned businesses in town and this place was on my list to support. A great variety of drinks. They had two syrup flavors you dont often see, rose and lavender, which I love! My only suggestion is maybe a few more intimate seating arrangements. Maybe a few for two would be great. Ill definitely be stopping by anytime Im on that side of town!

I really like this place, though its been awhile. Was busy, but not crowded. They had a local artist showcasing and a band was setting up by the time I left. Food was good and comforting. I am of low income, so it seemed pricey, but I would say it was worth every penny.

Great little shop. Coffee is exceptional. Tea was great. Breakfast sandwich was wonderful and priced very competitively. Great experience all around. Will be returning.

Absolutely delicious food and the drinks are great too. Not my favorite coffee house only due to the vibe. Its comfy and spacious but plain. Other than that, highly recommended.

Review №18

Amazing coffee shop! They have so many creative drinks that you can get hot, iced, or blended and they have reasonable prices. I loved the cinnamon roll frozen coffee, but be warned that the fancy drinks can get very sweet - I should have asked them to cut down on the pumps of flavor.Im so glad we stopped in on our trip in Colorado springs! If we come back into town, Im coming back to this coffee shop!

After waiting 20 mins for a danish i was late for work and didn’t end up with no danish. I ended up leaving it. So 9 bucks for a cup of coffee I find it very frustrating there was only two barista‘s they told me one more minute when I asked how much longer and they both walked back twice during the duration of the minute or two neither one walked back with the danish I highly recommend hiring more baristas for a Saturday morning.( they even ran out of drip coffee) Also I was told on the phone the owner would contact me for a refund on the danish and no reach out at all. I like supporting local coffee shops but this will be a pass for me from now on.

Pikes Perk is one my all time favorite coffee shops. Love the atmosphere in this day and age of the boring Starbucks The coffee is excellent, the owner is so accommodating and their staff is FIRST RATE. They really care. Its such a great LOCAL to have and one that I will support for years to come. I also go to their one on Centennial and its just as nice!

Friendly staff, amazing coffee/specialties and a small but great selection of breakfast foods. They have wifi for those staying to do work as well as a nice and clean atmosphere. Easily my favorite non-library place to do schoolwork and just relax.

Another local favorite. 🎉❤ This place recently aquired new owners and it is a good thing. They have been adding in upgrades like a meeting room, garage door, a bakery case with bake goods and finger foods.It is the spot for networking one on one meetings.🤝 They have a regular crowd who always seem to be happy to make a new friend.This place is also used for bible studies, small group meetings and fun events to include games, small parties and music events.Stop in and see how the new owners of Pikes Perk are making this your favorite coffee house.#Cashflowandconnections #ThisisCommunity

Had a great atmosphere, nice staff and pretty good coffee. I think the best thing about this place is the open atmosphere with the amazing view in the background. Wish I could have spent more time at the shop. Coffee is good and reasonably priced. Hope to come back in the future.

Great spot! This may be one of the best, locally-owned coffee shops in town. You get a great sense of community when you walk in the doors. There is plenty of seating everything is reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended.

The new owners have updated and upgraded this coffee shop. There is wine and beer, power outlets everywhere, a meeting room with a tv, and best of all good food. Theyve added items to the menu: from bagels, to sandwiches, cheesecake, and coffee. My new favorite hanging out space.

I decided to stop at this coffee shop on North Academy in Colorado Springs this morning, hoping for a nice, quiet, relaxing few minutes with a good cup of coffee before work. The location is convenient enough, plenty of parking, the restaurant is quite large with lots of very comfortable seating, the front counter is bright and colorful, the employees are friendly enough (though the one didn’t seem to care when I said this is my first time at their coffee shop in a long time), coffee was good, the had Wi-Fi, but needed to be asked to turn it on (it was 7:30 am) for me.

Wow, I went here for my first and last time today. I went in with my 16oz togo cup and asked for a fill. I was then presented with a partly full mug. I responded and said you can fill it up I dont need room for cream. The lady then rudely replied that thats 16oz. Well guess what I measured it when I got home and low and behold NOT 16oz. I will not be back and I will be letting others know not to bother wasting their time or money.

This was my favorite place to get coffee for the last 5 years.Since Mark sold the business it has not been the same. The sad thing is now the coffee is over priced. A medium Carmel mountain is now $7.04 with tax. The staff wasnt friendly this morning either. I guess I will be looking for another coffee spot.

I try to support local business as much as possible, especially during COVID, but this place lost my business today and will probably get shut down anyways. Colorado went to level red at 5pm on Friday, which closes indoor dining and only allows for outdoor dining. I walked in today to find 15-20 people sitting inside eating, drinking their coffee, just hanging out, while every other business is complying with the state mandate. Level Red was announced a week before it was enacted so this place had plenty of time to prepare just like everyone else. I’m ready for this to be over as much as everyone else, but choosing to willingly violate a statewide public health mandate is appalling. Give your business to places who actually care about the community and ending this so we can get back to our lives.

Fantastic place for delicious coffee. A local business with a great atmosphere, perfect for socially distanced gatherings. They feature local artists works on their walls, and they rotate the art often so there is always something new. Definitely a gem of Colorado Springs

Amazing experience at this great, locally-owned coffee shop cafe!!! We walked in about 7min before closing but the owner still welcomed us to come on in and that he would make us whatever we wanted, even though he had near closed shop. Told the owner any coffee that was a little sweet would be great and he surprised us with this amazing caramel mocha fresh brew!!! So yum!Hes also prior military so thats a plus. He really makes you feel like youre at home. His wife was also there, sitting at a table and was very welcoming as well. We went outside to finish up our delicious coffee and the owner offered my daughter a hot chocolate with whipped cream. We were so grateful and my 5 year old daughter loved it!Overall...amazing experience and I will definitely be a regular customer!!! I look forward to trying the great salads and sandwiches they offer on their menu too!!!

This place is simply amazing! The pastries are out of this world (especially the gluten-free stuff), a little on the pricey side but nice portion sizes. The baristas were friendly, well-tempered, and smiled easily despite there being a long line and maybe a dozen orders.The basic cup of Jo pretty much taste like watery diner coffee but the specialty coffees are pretty good. And I dont mind the weak coffee as I tend to make it like that for myself at home.Overall a good place with decent atmosphere, comfy seating, and plenty of parking.
