Really fun and very eclectic ambience with small outdoor patio seating area. The menu is geared towards healthy options and the food quality is fantastic. The servers are so nice and accommodating, greeting with a smile! We had a group of 7 and arrived early for our reservation. They were able to accommodate us immediately. As an 11:45am reservation we had the choice of breakfast or lunch menu and it's quite a variety of foods with vegetarian and vegan options as well. The restaurant is not located down the "main" road in Manitou Springs so it's more convenient with onsite parking and not as congested during tourism as the Main Street.

On a whim, we stopped off at the Adams Mountain Café in Manitou Springs Colorado. As we were sitting there waiting for our food and we were seeing the portions come out, the word that came to mind was everything was thoughtful. Everything was healthy and thoughtful. We ended up getting a spicy noodle salad and a cashew chicken sandwich thing chicken salad sandwich with some cashews on a very dense and healthy bread. Even the seating seemed like it was curated so kind of cool place definitely something you shouldn't be afraid to stop and get a bite to eat very friendly people. I think it was a good value.

This one has felt like its been on my list forever. We finally got around to checking it out last week. The first thing thay jumped out was the atmoshpere. Each chair looks like it was uniquely thrifted, the warm lighting, and flower wallpaper that blended well. We ended up getting something simple and while it was good I would probably get sowmthing else next time. The eggs were fluffy and potatos were well cooked but it was a bit undersalted. Adding some hotsuace made up for that but on its own it needed something. Still a good breakfast that I would go back to

Chefs choice omelet
Genie M.

A friend had gone and wanted me to see if I would enjoy the food as much as they did. I did enjoy! The hostess was welcoming and our waitress, Dazzia, was on point. We all had omelets and they were all filled with fresh ingredients! The toast was a wholegrain delicious bread. I should have asked where to buy. The apricot preserves i believe were made in house. They don't serve pork bacon but I believe they had turkey sausage and they were seasoned well. They also offer shrimp as a side and you can buy by the piece. They were delicious and went perfect with my omelet! The coffee was delicious and they came around several times to add to our cups. The chai tea had by a friend was a good brand and provided a lovely aroma to our table! If your in Colorado Springs stop in! Th

What a cute place! The interior was absolutely FILLED with gorgeous impressionistic styled paintings, which was maybe my favorite part! I felt like I was in a local art museum and only wish I'd had a chance to learn more about collection. I ordered Rockey's Special (toast, poached eggs, seasonal fruit). It came looking like the most aesthetic breakfast plate I've seen in my life. I felt like I was at a fancy tea shop! I loved the artful arrangement of the fruit. The main disappointment was I had asked for butter on the side, and the toast came both buttered and with butter on the side. Both my partner and I wonder if they have some kind of vegan butter substitute because it did not taste or smell like butter, and this place seems health conscious. Our waiter was kind enough to bring me dry toast when I pointed it out. Where this place really shined though was the lasagna meal. It was so fresh and flavorful with heart chunks of tomato and the right amount of cheese (more like true Italian versus Americanized versions that just drip with melted cheese). The roll with that meal was incredible. Next time, I'm ordering that. My partner devoured it before I could steal more than a bite from him. Would recommend ! Just note they seemed understaffed so service was a little slow, but it's worth the wait!

The Old Fashion Lasagna

The ambiance was the best!!! They had wonderful Impressionist-style paintings along the walls. Great for a date or a one on one. The food was stellar as well. I had the lasagna which I would highly recommend. Unfortunately, they accidentally put butter on my girlfriend's toast : ( which could have been dangerous if she was allergic. They low key gaslighted her that it wasn't butter but bruh, the toast literally had butter grease on it!!! They later corrected it. But unfortunately, the review is only going to be 4 stars.

Avocado quinoa tempeh bowl soooo yummy! Vegan
Lori A.

I had the vegan avocado quinoa bowl with tempeh and it was So delicious! Honestly, I was so impressed with the flavor and quality of ingredients. The way they prepared the tempeh was absolutely perfect. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service too.

The name might be a personal bias for me but Adam's Mountain Cafe is a cozy escape from the elements with large portions and a wide variety of entrees to serve all guests! Vegan options for both Breakfast and Lunch menus though I got Heuvos Rancheros which turned out great with well-rounded flavor and warmth. The latte was good and the first ive ever received with a design made from the creamer. I also tried their Snowcapped cider which is on par with angry orchard on draft! The service was good, after the initial interaction my host opened up a little more. The ambience is one of my favorites with the theme being an ornately decorated mountain. lodge. Every part of the space feels like a novelty of Western living and every part is used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere! I recommend anyone in the area travelling to come down to Adam's Mountain Cafe.

Vegan Huevos Rancheros

Cute location on the outskirts of Manitou Springs. Friendly service and we appreciated the vegan options. The vegan huevos rancheros were great - maybe better than the normal ones. Kids eggs and toast was perfect for our son.

Been coming to Adam's Cafe since I was a kid and it never disappoints. I love the atmosphere with the plants, pottery, and beautiful artwork. It feels cozy and relaxing. This time around I tried the vegan French Toast which was amazing I would recommend it, but it is quite rich maybe splitting a savory dish with the French toast would be perfect. Overall loved Adam's Mountain Cafe. (Especially if you are looking for vegan/dietary restriction options)

The mountain view outside the windows was gorgeous. Based on the ambiance inside the restaurant, it looked like a more upscale restaurant, which is why I can understand the dress code, but the vibe seemed quite casual. And I was surprised at how kid-friendly it was! There were multiple people there with little children. Our waiter was nice and attentive. For appetizers, we ordered the Trout Rillettes and baby gem salad. The trout was very creamy and the salad was underwhelming for $16... it may look big in the photo because of the angle but it was small and it reminded me more of a wedge salad. For dinner, I had the Seared Salmon with crab fried rice, it was underwhelming for the price, and my husband had the Seared Red Snapper and said it was "too fishy". He didn't finish it. The kids entree, chicken tenders and fries, was a very generous portion and of course, she loved it. Overall, view was amazing, service was good, food was underwhelming for the price.

Kinda disappointed. Unique spot and the drinks were good. However, the only food item we got were…read morethe Brussel sprouts and they were not good.

This time there were cocktails and a coherent artistic vision. They really commit to the theme, and it looks fantastic. For a moment, I forgot there was an entire normal city upstairs where people were renewing vehicle registrations. We made a reservation about an hour beforehand and got in without trouble. I believe it was a Wednesday afternoon, and it wasn't particularly packed. Plenty of room to enjoy the atmosphere without feeling like we were being processed through Wonderland. Started with the bread, which was perfectly crisp. Then the skirt steak appetizer, which had great flavor. Could've happily kept eating that, but we had other business to attend to. Specifically, gourmet mac and cheese. An unusual entrée choice for a themed date, perhaps, but apparently you can lead a grown man into a subterranean fantasy world and he'll still ask where they keep the noodles. It was excellent. My wife and I both wanted more afterward. The White Rabbit cocktail was excellent too. Toasted marshmallow on top. A tiny campfire snack hovering over my drink while I sit underground eating fancy macaroni. Whoever planned this afternoon understands my needs better than I do. Highly recommend for the entrance, the atmosphere, the food, and especially that cocktail. Walk downstairs. Let The Rabbit do it's little thing.

Adding Thunder and Buttons to my list of go-tos next time when I'm in town, and though I'd love to venture more into the menu...this is just too good not to order next time!

For my main I was so tempted by another "appetizer" , that after the waitrons glowing recommendation I had to go for the soy glazed grilled Brussels sprouts . They were everything promised . A bowl of ELK CHILI was the perfect accompaniment. My gal pal ordered the "most popular " fish and chips " and declared it was the best fried cod she'd found since her Alaska vacation. There were other intriguing menu choices , especially the wild game options , so I will certainly revisit this unique and welcoming restaurant!
