Latte and matcha
Amanda L.

Got an iced matcha and latte. The latte art is gorgeous but flavor was pretty average. Matcha was not bad. This is built into an old school which is cool. A little crowded inside the hallway area but lots of seating.

A few of us came in here right before closing and surprisingly the borista was not upset at all! He was really friendly and happy to serve us and make suggestions! 10/10 for customer service. I have always said speed of service and good taste are the factors that make a good coffee house and this place offers both!

Amazing location. Old elementary school with damn good coffee. The cortado is my go too lately. I absolutely love this cup of morning coffee. And it came with some sparkling water. I like when places set them apart from others. Unique like the location. A renovated school with several businesses under one roof.

Latte

While in town visiting friends, they kept saying we had to get to this coffee shop. She is a bonafide coffee-holic and so am I. Once we stepped in the aroma was heavenly. The staff were extremely welcoming, maybe in part because our friend is a regular. First I ordered a latte. The presentation was lovely and it was a gentle smooth treat. Next up was an Americano. It was strong and also somehow smooth- not bitter at all. Compared to many others I've tried, this coffee shop is superior. Part of the charm is it's one of many different businesses on a long hallway. The hallway is lined with tables and chairs. While in search of a restroom, a realization came that this building is a repurposed old school. Created a bit of nostalgia. Truly the Colorado way to preserve and reuse.

This is such a cute area. There's a bunch of shops in an old closed down school. I wish the menu had vegan labeled options as I could only really get drinks. The oat milk matcha was amazing though!

Ever just have "one of those days?" I suppose we all do, including those who work with school children. During my visit to "Building 3 Coffee" I noticed a picture opportunity that I believe qualifies for the 2023 Henry's Take Honor Roll. You see, they are located within a building that was for more than 60 years the home of Lincoln Elementary School, which makes the "BEER" sign placed right outside the Staff Lounge undeniably hilarious! Can you imagine if the faculty had the option of enjoying "a cold one" during a particularly challenging day? Rather than the hallways being filled with energetic children excitedly scuttling from one location to another, now each former classroom is occupied by various businesses including this one. While you can no longer hear children's voices filling these spaces, you can enjoy their seemingly limitless energy and spirit when you visit. The next time you need a little pick me up, stop here for a little shot of caffeine and you'll feel like a kid again in no time. Editor's Note: Please remember to play nice with the other kids on the playground and to be open to trading portions of your lunch with your friends (we promise not to tell your mom! ). And that's...Henry's Take. #schoolmemories

Found this gem one morning trying to kill time with my son. Love that it's in a repurposed school building. The ladies behind the counter were very nice and gave us recommendations on the coffee. I ordered a rose cardamom latte, and my son ordered the brown sugar latte. We also ordered the breakfast quiche and salmon bagel. Both were really good, the bagel was actually quite a lot to eat. Would definitely stop by here again.

Mocha and breakfast burrito
Janelle M.

Best coffee, best people, best breakfast burritos! I wish I lived in the Springs because if I did, this place would be my home away from home! I will go out of my way if I'm in town. Their rose cardamom latte's are my fav but honestly I'll drink any latte they make. Love their whole bean coffee to go too. I'll buy several to take home with me!

View and coffee
Robert B.

Great view and friendly staff. Coffee was ok but not the best, same with the pastries. Was very clean and cool spot in an old school.

Been here a couple of times and I have enjoyed both times. They are always super busy in that place, which shows they offer good products. Some people go to work there since they have a good amount of seating and the coffee is good. If you're not into whole milk, they have alternative milks. What is also cool is that they have they're own coffee roasting system behind the shop, which was cool to see. Anyways, if you're looking for good coffee, this is your place.

Maple latte and raspberry pastry.

I got the blueberry muffin and it tasted like play dough and the coffee was mediocre at best.

We were very happy to find this place on our recent visit to Colorado Springs. They had about 8…read moreroasts available from light, medium and dark. We loved that they had beans of each roast available for viewing in jars so we could see them! We tried two different roasts, pour overs, and came home with a bag of medium roast beans from Mexico - a Chapias. They had some muffins available go with the coffee. We chatted for a while with the owner and really enjoyed the coffee talk. The restrooms were clean and there was plenty of seating inside. We'll be back.

First timer! So…read morecontent I chose this place for me and my cousins to visit before heading to Pike's Peak. We've gone to two different coffee shops during our stay in Colorado before coming here. Let's just say we wouldn't have minded coming to Corter Coffee Roasters every day instead of the other coffee shops we went to. The manager, LIANA, is the most pleasant person we've met on this trip. First of all, all our drinks (caramel latte's and chai latte) were BOMB. I had to tell myself to not chug my latte because it was so good. She shared places that we should visit considering we are not from here. This helped so much because a lot of our plans fell through. The bathrooms are for paying guests and they are clean and convenient. Liana, thank you for the true Southern hospitality radiating through. My cousins and I truly appreciate your kindness, conversation, and realness!

Roasting coffee beans is a real art, and Toby and Andrew do it better than anyone else I know of…read more There's nothing "automated" about it, they personally monitor every aspect of every roast, with one eye on the thermometers and the other eye (and nose) on the random samples they pull from the roaster while the beans are actually tumbling under heat. The difference between ordinary bulk roasts and the coffee High Rise sells is immediately obvious when you prepare fresh-ground coffee in a really excellent brewer, like an AeroPress. The coffee bubbles up because it's so fresh, and it actually produces crema, reminiscent of the best espresso, but without any bitterness. High Rise doesn't pre-roast their coffee and then store it in freezers. They measure it out for you on the spot, and give it to you in very high-quality sealed bags with a one-way "breathing hole" in the middle of one side. If you like, they'll grind it for you in one of two big European grinders they have right next to the coffee scales. They can also heat-seal the bags and you can mail them to friends. They'll love you for it! It's the only place I've bought coffee for ten years now, and I can't imagine how coffee could be any fresher or better. Cheers!

THE best coffee money can buy! Walking in is like opening the door to coffee heaven. I can't wait…read moreto go back in there. Makes me want to drink more coffee!
