Nice coffee shop in one of the rooms of a "reclaimed" elementary school, with each of the old classrooms being a different business and the hallway housing overflow tables for dining at. FOOD: We got a couple of chai lattes which were okay, if a bit on the sweet side. My wife got an interesting ham-apple-berry-brie bagle sandwich (messy but tasty); I got a breakfast burrito (more of a breakfast panini) (huge, overly-cheesy, but tasty). SERVICE: In the face of a lot of business (it was 11 am, there was a line at the counter the entire time we were there, plus all the tables in the shop were full, as were several more in the hallway), the service was very friendly and fairly efficient. Drinks were ready in a reasonable time. There was a bobble with the sandwich order (drinks are picked up at the counter by name; foodstuff you get a table number marker and is delivered to you), but they recovered very graciously. Since the food was scratch-made, it looks, it was in a reasonable time frame. ATMOSPHERE: Very crowded, pretty noisy, rather spare and worn environment -- arguably all signs of how successful they've been. Saw lots of open laptops at tables -- I suspect a lot of folk enjoy the free wi-fi and good eats and drinks. The parking lot was ... very full, except for the several Tesla chargers, only one of which was in use (we still had a good charge so we didn't make use of them). NET-NET: It was a great place for coffee and a bite on our way north out of the downtown where we didn't have to worry (as much) about parking. In a similar situation, I'd be happy to return. read more

The Tesla charger is right in the same area. This is a great spot to chill and get some good coffee. I decided to get a matcha latte since it was late in the day. The barista crafted it very pretty and it tasted very good. Lots of seating and wifi is strong. I saw a lot of people working on their laptops. The seating is all harder surface so I can imagine your bootie feeling it if you stay here for a while but it's still comfortable enough. Prices are very reasonable and service is very friendly read more

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. read more

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! read more

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

BEST coffee in the Springs! Over the top service with kindness and welcoming smile. AND pick up a bag of fresh roasted beans.

Food - delicious- coffee - amazing ! But the service is where I was completely smitten. All these young ladies were so exceptionally friendly and professional I deserves recognition. Highly recommend the vibes were very positive. Good place to read, study, work or just chit chat with a friend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

The ambience it's more towards out of state people. They do not have sugar free options. I need sugar free as I am a diabetic. I asked for an espresso made with oat milk and vanilla syrup. They do not show on the menu that you will be getting an espresso shot. No complaints since the shot was well balanced. The barista was thrown off once I asked her to make it as a coffee on a to go cup with oat milk and vanilla syrup. My wife had a macchiato and was disappointed. They don't make it the way you want it. They go strictly by their menu. She asked me if I wanted a cortado which at that point a cortado is made strictly with Cuban coffee and I have tried true cortado's before. So I denied that request as it's not going to taste the same. Just for that I gave two stars since the way we were treated was like we weren't welcomed. We will not come back. read more

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! read more

Great coffee and friendly service. What more can you ask for? Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

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. read more

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. read more

Love this place so much! Coffee is amazing and the food as well. Also, the vibe here is everything!

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. read more

It was the coffee selection that prompted me to visit Building Three Coffee. I ordered the cortado which came with a small glass of carbonated water and quiche. Both very good. Service was quick and staff very friendly. The seating area was limited but managed to find a bar seat and found myself looking at Pikes Peak which was covered with snow. What a view. read more

Great view of Pikes Peak, unless a jogging group is meeting up and blocking it. We love to get a pastry at Nightingale's next door, and our coffee or tea here. The service is super friendly, and the beverages are very good. We also appreciate that they're open at7! It's good to beat the rush, but on Saturdays the bakery isn't open till 8. read more

We have never been to this spot before and didn't even know it existed until this Yelp elite event. What a find! Thank you Yelp! So this whole little mall is a find and if not for the cold temps, it would have been nice to sit outside. They had a good amount of seating within their space and there were overflow tables in the hall. We had maple syrup lattes and they were delicious! The raspberry pastry was pretty good too. It had 2 fresh raspberries on top and tasted like pound cake. If you are looking to support a local coffee shop and not the big companies, I definitely recommend coming here! We will be back. read more

Amazing coffee, food and even better staff. Good place to get some school work done. House drip and macchiato are really good, salmon bagel sandwich was great as well everything was fresh.

What a beautiful local coffee shop. Came here for the yelp elite perk event and I am so happy I did. Had a maple bourbon latte, a raspberry pastry for me and a friend and some awesome yelp swag. The coffee was superb, the pastry tasted freshly made and the service was top of the line. I 1000% recommend coming and trying their products. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. The sign is a little small so it might be hard to find right away but when you do you will be so happy you did. At this time we have to come together and support our small businesses and keep them thriving. This one is definitely a must support. Thank you to them and to yelp for this great reward. read more

Super good and strong coffee here, coupled with fast and friendly service, I really like this place. There are some food options, lots of people sitting around working/studying so it is usually a bit crowded whenever I go. Overall great coffee and I recommend this place. read more

I love Building Three for various reasons. Let me count the ways. 1. I love their space. Conveniently located in Old North End, with free parking and easy access, this place makes it easy for me to visit with my babygirl. I love the decoration, the openness of the space and the cleanliness. 2. I love their costumer service. Always greeted with a smile, I have never had poor service here. The staff is friendly, accommodating and always willing to help! 3. Their baked goods are what this girls dreams are made up of. 4. Their coffee isnt my favorite thing about this place, but I love their Vanilla Latte. Not that their coffee isnt great - I have a lot of coffee snob friends who absolutely adore their coffee, its more a I have poor taste when it comes to coffee. My husband and I joke around that we love a little gas station flavor to our coffee... what can I say? Its just a thing with me - so even thought their coffee isnt my favorite thing about them, I can recognize that they have amazing roasts and great baristas. If you are into good coffee (and you are nothing like me) then this place will definitely hit the spot. If you are in the area, or you are looking for a great place to work and enjoy a latte, cappuccino, espresso and whatever rocks your boat, I highly recommend trying building three out! read more

So, I wanted to love this place but it's just not working for me. First, we're in a pandemic and clearly they are not. Tables are all right next to each other and the place is completely packed. I ordered 2 coffees to go, one decaf and one regular. She brought them out to me and neither were marked in any way. She simply held one up and said, this is the decaf. Since I took them to go I had no way to mark them myself and no way to tell the difference and for all I know neither could have been decaf. With my order I had a raspberry pastry and thought it may be something more than 2 raspberries cooked into a sugar loaded pound cake :( ...nope. The staff were extremely nice and the place was cute but I can't say I'd be back there any time soon. read more

Where to start, besides saying I fell in love the second I walked in! I already loved the location, which admittedly I somehow always forget about. No more! I really need to explore all the businesses that surround this coffee shop. But I digress. You walk in to a clean, modern, but so welcoming cafe. My husband and I both got the bourbon syrup lattes which were to die for! The latte was sweet, but not over powering sweet. It was more of a hint. The coffee was so good, I could have drank it without any sweetener. Which is major for me because I am weak and need all the sugar usually to mask the bitter lol. The pastries were flakey and absolutely perfect. I'm so sad I've never been here before, but so happy because I know where I will for sure be spending a few lazy saturdays at now. If you've never been, please make sure to go! You won't regret it. read more

Love this coffee shop, great service, food and ambience. The coffee is delicious and plenty of space to work.

Love this place!!! I've made this my go to while in Colorado Springs. I realized I would drive over 20miles just to have their chai tea lattes or their bagel sandwiches. Love the service and food! The atmosphere is amazing! I met so many cool people while studying here. It's a great place to gather and a great place to get some work done or just chill! read more
