We love stopping here every year we come for our Spartan Race, the ambiance is chill and perfect to relax with a cup of joe. We enjoy the coffee and the food is pretty good too. The service is good and welcoming. We recommend this business.

Review Visit: June 12th, 2019 Here is a bear PSA. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. Bear safety facts aside, I had all morning to kill as my cousin went to Denver Airport to pick up another cousin. Using my Google-fu, I found Black Bear Coffee was right up the road from me. I pulled up the Uber app and requested a ride. 15 minutes later has me arriving at Black Bear Coffee. I offered my driver a coffee as a tip but he declined. So, I gave him cash instead. Casually strolling in, I noticed there was a delicious coffee smell lingering in the air, the chatter of casual conversations from the other customers there and wood everywhere. The decor of the place was wood. There were some small wooden bears near the register. Wooden beams in the rafters. Wood floors. Wood chunks of tree for a table. Wood you believe it? I browsed over the menu and was drawn to the Caramel Bear. The cashier told me it was a caramel/vanilla latte blend. Before she could even finish, I told her that I will take the largest size they have. As I was the only one in line, my drink was served up after 2-3 minutes. I picked up my drink and took a seat on a stool that looked outside. My drink was a good as it sounded. A nice blend of caramel and vanilla. Maybe the elevation had some play in it, but the caffeine did it's work. After a long night of hanging out with my cousin, it kicked in and woke me up. As I was sipping my drink, I was entertained by a dog that was sitting with it's owner. He was such a good doggo. Halfway through my drink, I swapped over to this big leather chair near the front door. I rested my drink on the tree trunk coffee table and sank in the chair. It was beyond comfy. I usually leave after finishing my drinks, but that chair wouldn't let me go. Sadly, this was the only coffeehouse I got to visit while in Colorado. But, this means I have to return to try all the others.

We stopped in after a hike while on our vacation and we really liked this coffee shop! They had food and bakery items. They also had some gluten free items. The baristas were very nice and helpful and the cafe was clean and decorated in a woodsy cabin vibe that was neat. My husband's lemonade was flavorful and my iced latte was also good. They had a very large selection of syrups.

Great atmosphere, the menu and food quality was amazing. Definitely recommend to everyone to stop by. Owner was very polite and personable.

This spot is great. Pastries are amazing, you can tell it's a family run business that really…read morebelieves in the product they are making and cares for people. It's a joy to support their business! I've been multiple time and the pastries are delicious. Also, massive! I'm always able to split one or have leftovers. The prices are great for what you get. One word of advice, you HAVE to go in with a plan. If you order an espresso drink, be certain you are prepared for a long wait (30+ min, it is not quick). If you want to have a quicker visit or don't plan for long, just grab some pastries or drip coffee. Adding a prepared drink will extend your wait exponentially. It's a popular spot, so just be aware of that if you're hoping for seating. It fills up quick and is usually packed. I have to prepare myself for encountering a crowd when I go here. The demand for delicious pastries is high! Glad to have this spot in Colorado Springs.

Visiting Colorado Springs and I was excited to try La Concha Bakery but I left disappointed…read more I ordered a concha, and while it was definitely large as you can see, the size didn't make up for the quality. A good concha should be soft, slightly fluffy and have that fresh-baked aroma. This was oversized, dry and it felt like I got more bread than flavor. For someone who grew up with Mexican pan dulce, there's that hard-to-describe "authentic" quality--it's not just sweetness, it's the texture, the crumb and the balance between the bread and the topping. I know everyone has different tastes, but for me, the concha ended up being more about quantity than quality The bakery itself was nice, the staff was really friendly but unfortunately the pastry just didn't live up to it.

Went in recently with my husband, granddaughter and daughter for dinner for the first time. We went…read moreduring their happy hour with special prices on drinks and appetizers. The food was very good, but the prices didn't match their website. The website had advertised 1/2 off select appetizers. We asked our server which appetizers were on happy hour and she pointed out which ones were on happy hour. When the check arrived, the appetizers were not half price but a dollar or so off the regular price. However, the food was tasty so we didn't make an issue of it. A few days later I checked out their website again and the 1/2 off appetizers were off their web page. We returned again a few days later. Just my husband and I. He ordered the corned beef sandwich. He really enjoyed it. I ordered the French onion soup and ten chicken wings at just the incredible price of .80 a wing (dine in only!) They too were very good. The only thing I was not impressed with was the French onion soup. The soup had WAY too much herbs in it. I think it was Italian seasoning. We would happily return to this neighborhood pub as our daughter just moved into the neighborhood! Service was also very good. Quick service!

It's unfortunate that we did not have a good experience here. We used to frequent this place more…read moreoften, but not as much now as it seems to be getting more and more rundown and the smoke from the outdoor patio drifts in. I emailed the manager immediately upon leaving but never got a reply. They did greet us fairly properly but it went down hill from there. The order was incorrect, the food was meh at best and the bill was wrong. After dropping off the food we never saw the server again. He said he had gotten busy but we could see from our table that he was chatting with friends and watching TV. After we questioned the bill he insisted it was correct and there was nothing he could do. I wish I had asked for a manager at the time, but it was already 7:30 on a Sunday night so we paid the bill and left. We did ask for a detailed receipt but the receipt was not very detailed. $46.00 for a beer and 2 burgers seem out of line, especially when one of the burgers was not edible. I guess it's bad us for not making more of a fuss at the time.

On the plus side, there are a number of eating venues in this building so if you want a salad and your bud wants a burger, you can both be happy. Salad or Bust specializes in it's namesake. There are eight or 10 options. Plus they have chili and a soup of the day. The hubs and I both had the Mediterranean, which was special because of the little dolmadakia on top and the tasty olives. Plenty of dressing for all those greens, too. The hubs liked his side of chili (which, like the salad, had a bit of satiating quinoa). I appreciated they had Perrier (instead of only boring flat water), and we enjoyed our meal on the sunny patio. I appreciated the quality, fresh ingredients and I was fine to pay a premium price for them but I didn't tip, even though Square gave me the opportunity, thank you very much, BEFORE I even tasted my salad. I placed my order at the counter, had to pick it up when it was ready and I bused my own table. If anyone earned a tip, it was me. Sorry, not sorry.

The menu was promising, but we might have just been there on an off day in terms of the actual…read morefinished product. The antipasto salad was missing the mozzarella balls, and both it and the taco salad had a scant amount of dressing provided and the lettuce/topping ratio was not great. Order at the counter and you'll get a text when it's ready for pickup. We did love the cool setting in Ivywild school. May try another option there instead next time.
