If you havent been, this place is definitely worthy. Someone has poured their heart and soul into this establishment. Notably rich and balanced coffee roasted in-house. (Also available by the bag.) Ambiance is warm, fun, tasteful and immaculate. All the coffee house staples plus some awesome signature bevs. I think we can all agree: 1) Great coffee is nectar from Heaven. 2) Our veterans are national treasures.

Amazing small business/ local coffee house. Stopped by for the 1st time. The coffee tastes incredible. Every bag of coffee sold $1 donation goes to military veteran charities. Inside is squeeky clean. Large enough for 30+ to sit. Free WiFi. The owner Merri was so kind. Military themed memorabilia and decor. Keep up the great work!

Marvelous atmosphere, very good coffee, nice staff.The staff was amazing but ended up getting the orders wrong and we had to repeat ourselves 3 times. Nothing wrong with that, it was still awesome. So glad I checked it out.

Great coffee in an atmosphere that makes me proud to be an America. Great coffee, being roasted as I sit there, quiet music so good for getting work done or catching up with friends. Also $1 for every pound is donated for veterans.

Im a huge fan and supporter of veteran owned small businesses and this one is no exception!! $1 from their coffee bags goes to vets4vets, so how could you pass up buying beans? Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to grab some joe in Colorado Springs.

This place was top notch! We visited on a quiet Saturday afternoon and got to sit and chat with the owners. They were super knowledgeable about the coffee they serve and we were very happy with our drinks! They allow dogs into their space and love having furry visitors. We cannot wait to return and enjoy another great cup of coffee ❤️

Love this place, good acoustics, even with a lot of people chatting it wasn’t too loud. Good for individuals to work or friends to catch up. Normal coffee shop prices but amazing tastes, lots of choices and of course wonderfully veteran friendly. Really cool old paraphernalia!

Exactly as it sounds. A great place to grab coffee and relax to some music or get some work done. Reasonably priced compared to all other roasters in town. Staff and ownership are very friendly. Military themed space with plenty of work space or couches for relaxing. Board games available. Highly recommended.

Amazingly good coffee!!! I dont buy my coffee anywhere else. Merri is amazing! She and her husband also do signature blended coffee for non-profit organization fundraisers. Thats my coffee, and cant wait to brew my next pot.

We love Veteran Coffee Roasters! Its easy to get to with plenty of parking. While you wait, the interior is full of interesting militaria to investigate. The drink menu is extensive with hot, iced and frozen items. It includes bullet coffee as well as alternative milk choices. The snack/small bite selection is decent. They roast their beans in small batches here in Colorado Springs and the quality is excellent. $1 from each bag of whole beans sold is donated to wounded and disabled veterans. Theyll grind your whole beans to your preference so you can have the same deliciousness at home! Support a business thats local, family and veteran owned and get a great cup of coffee.

This place is a diamond in the rough! Not hard to find once you know where it is. Have heard otherwise from a few people, worth the call to navigate over though! Great owners and staff. Delicious coffee and other items. Super supportive of local businesses and supporting events and charities. Great local hang out.

This place is my favorite place to meet other fellow business owners, clients, and a great place to recommend that others visit.Merri and her staff are always welcoming, take care of any needs that I have, and provide an environment where I feel welcomed to work and grow my business. And.... it feels good to support a local small business that does good things for others. Kudos, veterans coffee roasters. Thank you!

Hands down, the best coffee shop I have been to. The memorabilia is a nice touch, but the espresso drinks are to die for! Housemade orange cream? Yes please! A spicey caramel apple latte on request? My new fave! Too bad they are so far from where I live. The Veterans in Leavenworth would LOVE this place!

Review №22

Would you like to support our Veterans? Come here, wait in line for a coffee, and ask how, or ask about upcoming events or ways to get involved. If you are a Veteran and havent been here, there are a lot of caring people here, and theres coffee too! This is a really cool local spot, and it serves many in many ways.
