Welcoming building and clean. I love the atmosphere. The food and drinks are wonderful. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Even being understaffed and having a long line of customers. I think the coffee has a sour/sweet taste to is. It is still smooth but not strong in the normal coffee flavor. I got a 3 shot Almond milk Latte. The temperature was perfect and the taste was delicious.

Loved this place! We got the brat & pretzel board for a starter & then the street nachos (which were amazing dipped in the gooseberry sauce). We sat in the back in “the nest” which was more secluded & quiet! Service was great also. Definitely will be back soon!

Always an incredible place for a tasty pour over and a quiet moment to read or work. Todays brew was a single origin from El Salvador with strong notes of raspberry and chocolate. Those that take their coffee quite seriously will find solace here.

Cute little spot in Colorado Springs. Very friendly staff. I received my food and drink very quickly and everything tasted really good. Much more on the pricier side; spent $25+ on a small salad with deli style meat and an iced Latté.

We love the Wild goose. We get the meat and cheese tray and a bottle of wine almost every time we come, relaxing atmosphere and wonderful staff.

A bit on the pricey side but the quality is very high. Was not very busy at 9:15 AM, and the place is wide open to the outside (great anti-covid ventilation) in nice weather. Had a mocha and bacon breakfast burrito that included terrific salsa and jam on the side. Yum!Far enough away from the heart of downtown that on-street parking was available right outside.

This is an awesome spot! They have live music on friday nights for a small cover charge (when I went it was $5 per person). The coffee is fantastic and the employees are really great and friendly. Its almost like when youre not living under the poverty line it allows you to do your job better! Crazy right?

Absolutely LOVE this place! The staff is super chill, very kind and mindful. The food and drinks are top notch. Their chai is incredible (I like mine extra spicy). AND I just tried their Pumpkin Spice Latte and it’s far above any coffee chain.The green chili burrito is impeccable. Truly can’t say enough good things about this place. We come here weekly.

Awesome atmosphere and staff, I’ll definitely be back again. Though I was disappointed the nitro cold brew (pictured) just tasted like an iced cold brew from concentrate, so I’d recommend getting something else. No foam or airy qualities to it at all, and was iced :/

So good: Drinks. Coffee. Food. Vibe. Everything sold at “gratuity included” prices. Top accolades from this reviewer.

Such a great place to relax and listen to music or read, and the staff is wonderful!! So kind and so welcoming. The coffee was perfect and they had several dairy free milk options. But seriously, the staff. They give this place the warmest friendliest vibes.

Not impressed with the cold soup we were served yesterday and when brought up to share how cold it was we were given an excuse that theres been problems with something that caused the soup to not be hot. The soup was not very tasty but seemed to have fresh ingredients which was nice. I had a half sandwich, the grilled cheese, which was tasty, but was cold by the time I actually got a warm soup. I found the prices pretty high for such a low customer service experience. Id rather tip then deal with 3 different staff and wait in line to just get the attention of front of house. Not sure if I will return for the food, but definitely the convenience of the outdoor patio!

Really excellent service and delicious food. Tried their Wild Goose sandwich with gluten free bread and house salad with best tasting apple vinaigrette. Sparkling water with touch of Lavender was so good. There was an Iron Man poster in the bathroom, I thought it was a nice touch. RIP Tony 😞💔

What an inviting, hip place with a healthy selection of food. I loved the ginger beer. I’ve seen many different style of music here, and loved every one of them. The atmosphere is so quaint and intimate, it’s easy to get wrapped in the music and smell of coffee. Even though I have loved every band I’ve seen, I gotta say, Nube Nuevo was my favorite!!

The Wild Goose Meeting House is one of the newer mainstays of downtown Colorado Springs. Since it’s opening eight years ago, the owners have also gone on to launch Good Neighbors Meeting House on Columbia Street in the Old North End, and are dedicated to the growth of good in their community. The Goose offers excellent coffee or libations alongside great food in a space that facilitates meeting with a good friend or working studiously. And if you’re needing a good book, check out the color-coded shelves for an eclectic read.

We shared the breakfast nachos and they were on point. Great for sharing. The nitro cold brew coffee was good, but tasted a little watered down. It was a great space, but would be quite small in cooler months with their patio seating. They have live music sometimes on weekends. We’d love to return when it’s not a weekday.

Not really a child friendly location, but the food was great and the service was excellent. The prices seem high, but they discourage tipping. In the end the prices are on par with other eateries if you include the tipping. Look forward to future visits.

Cute spot. Baristas are nice. They were slow and forgot my drink for over 15 mins though. I checked in twice, surprised that it took them so long. Didnt buss tables, napkins were blowing away even though not many customers and they seem to have a few front of house staff. Id come back but the service doesnt seem to be 100% on the ball.

Wild Goose Meeting House is an awesome place! They serve great coffee and have fantastic menu items for a meal! The little restaurant is in downtown Colorado Springs and does a lot to involve the community. They have a board with all their upcoming events and live bands that come and play. They offer an art room in the back. The whole place has a fun atmosphere and I highly recommend this place for studying, grabbing a bite to eat or simply enjoying some coffee!

The Wild Goose Meeting House is a pillar of the downtown area, co-owners Yemi and Russ have a tremendous heart, care and devotion for this city, its people and every single person who comes through those doors. One of the few black-owned business in Colorado Springs, WG is a fierce advocate for social change, community dialogue, creating bridges of conversations, and making a space for creation, conversation and community. Their wide-ranging menu and passionate staff creates a place where people from all walks of life and backgrounds come for food, drinks, merriment, and atmosphere. This cute little hub is a delightful gem at any time, day or night, weekend or week day, and I am so excited that they will be opening again soon.

Solid local coffee shop. The ice nitro on tap was delicious, even if it was on the expensive side. Bonus points for having Vegan sandwich options. My friend was able to get a quick bite to eat which was very nice. He reported that the sandwich was wonderful. They even threw in a side of raspberry jam.

I love this place and want to give it 5 stars, but I gotta dock a bit for the wait times. If you place an order online, it shouldn’t take an additional 25 minutes to get your order on time. It’s also mildly overpriced ($14 for a relatively basic sandwich). BUT nevertheless the staff is great and I love the ambiance which still results in a mostly positive rating just don’t come here to be timely or frugal

Review №61

This is awell-lit, hip spot with ample seating and beverage choices. Live music, books, and a community-style table are a few of the features the meeting house offers. It is a classicly modern rendition of a turn-of-the-last century coastal meeting house with garage door windows and nerdy accents throughout. Over great place for socializing.

Coffee shop/restaurant/bar on a corner location in downtown Colorado Springs. Variety of seating options including 2 large tables for groups. Garage doors open out to patio seating. Food and drinks are fantastic and reasonably priced. Bathrooms are in the corner behind past the counter. Facilities are unisex and clean.

Good food but sadly run by very bad people. They practically pay slave wages. Its sad that places like this still take advantage of people. The owner comes in and makes food without wearing a mask and then finds out he tested positive. I would not touch this place with a thousand foot pole.

If you like to park in front of alleyways, come here. The other patrons and you will get along just fine. Also, Russ fires people under the guise of the pandemic while hiring people close to him to take over their shifts. Weird...

What a fun place to hang out! Lots of seating, a charming and inviting atmosphere, and quite a menu! This was my first (but not last!) time in, and I had their house made ginger beer... it was perfect! So refreshing and tasty! If you need a place to chat with friends, read a book, work on a project or just a place to people watch... seems like the Wild Goose is the place to be!

The Wild Goose has a great reservation and prepaid tab system. They also have great safety practices in place and beautiful patio. Try any of the sandwiches with some of their jam, the red pepper gouda bisque is delicious and you cant go wrong with a craft cocktail, glass of wine or a pint.

This is a great addition to a Sunday afternoon. Stop at Poor Richards Book Store then come here and enjoy the air and good espresso.4 stars for the atmosphere and the outstanding espresso (smooth and creamy 👌)Im only holding back a star to have something to give after I try one of their drinks. However, Im sure they will be great with the top shelf and local spirits they are offering.The patrons seem to be regulars but and friendly and not pretentious at all unlike other cafes of this caliber.

Love this little gem in Colorado Springs. I had the vegan chocolate almond bread with some cold brew. Both were amazing! Also shout out to the barista who was super friendly and answered our questions about the coffee beans.

One of my favorite places in town for the ambiance. Food seems overpriced and is good, not great. Drinks have been pleasing. Coffee good. If you want to dock this place for 25 minute wait times and leave a bad review, please just go to McDonalds where you belong instead.

Review №84

Update: Reducing the rating due to having to argue with the staff about opening the garage door to clear the air after the kitchen smoked up the entire restaurant. They claimed the owner didnt want the door open due to the weather (50f sunny and breezy at the time) but the owner wasnt there to actually comment.Its disappointing the staff is unwilling to do whats necessary to ensure a comfortable space without having to be argued with.---Wild Goose is a great working space, plenty of seating and outlets, coffee, tea, wine, beer, and food. The grilled cheese and brats are tasty, and the nachos are reasonable, though they could use some additional layering of the cheese theyre still satisfying.However, the experience is often marred by music thats too loud and staff that are inconsistently responsive to requests to play it at a more reasonable level.
