The staff was incredibly friendly, and the smell of the baked goods as soon as I walked in was amazing. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat milk, and I was pleasantly surprised that there was no extra charge. Even better, the drink was served with coffee ice cubes, so it stayed cold without getting watered down, a thoughtful touch that every coffee shop should steal! The cold brew itself was delicious and definitely packed a punch. If you like strong coffee, this is the place for you. I also enjoyed browsing the little shop while I waited. They had fun coffee mugs, funny quote stickers, chocolates, and even ice cream available. It's a cozy stop with plenty of personality, whether you're grabbing a coffee to go or taking a break from exploring Manitou Springs. I'll definitely be stopping in again the next time I'm in town!

Parking can get tricky but you can find street parking all around. Highly recommend checking them out ^.^

It was so good! Also saw that they had headcheese, oh my goodness, had not had headcheese in many years! It was so very fresh and tasty. I just asked to see it and the wonderful lady who waited on me let me try it and I ate it like I hadn't had it in years. Got some and let a friend try it. Now, I have to send her the address. Got some other items to. Try the spreadable brie and the Kaiser rolls. Wonderful service. Saturdays are busy. Small place kinda and parking can be tight, but it was worth the trip out there. Get out there and try it if you like German food and grocery items and it is friendly to all, no matter your race, nationality or ethnicity.

While waiting for food the line got longer. Seems like a hot spot for locals. Food: We got 2 breakfast bagels (The OG and Pesto) and a coffee. Best bagels I've ever had! You can taste the freshness, baked daily. Bagels were filled with good amount of toppings. I Recommend the rosemary sea salt bagel. Service: Excellent. Ambiance: Hip vibe. Cool pictures on the walls, and old school Knick knacks on the counter. If you love local coffee shops this is a perfect spot!

It's a walk-up counter with some seating inside, though most of the tables were full when we came through. They have pastries and other things we didn't try. Service was quick and friendly, and the cost wasn't bad at all. If you're looking for specialty coffee in Manitou Springs, I'd hit up The Loft. Would recommend, and would return.

Didn't order any food but the coffee itself was good! The first day I went I got the espresso tonic and was impressed by all the different whole beans they have. Second time I got the espresso tonic and strawberry matcha, sadly the espresso tonic wasn't as good and matcha was just okay. I got a bag of Ethiopia light roast beans I don't think they give free drip here with a bag of beans but I've tried the beans they were great! Service was good and people in Colorado Springs are just so nice. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised stumbling onto this place and would recommend trying it out

We had taken reviewers advice to make reservations, which proved invaluable, as the place was packed..on a Monday at 6pm. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. I had mentioned on our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, and I think every member of the front end wished me Happy Birthday at least once! Overall, service throughout was impeccable! I am a huge fan of Chicken Parm, and have struggled over the years to find a version that compares to my favorite Italian eatery in NYC...pounded super thin with crispy breading and nearly overflowing the plate. I have found a new favorite, and confess I couldn't finish it. My wife had the Chicken Valeria which also was outstanding. Entrees come with a side salad...House or Caesar for a small upcharge. Both fresh and plentiful. After the mains, we had no room for dessert..as usual, but we were surprised with a pistachio cannoli for the birthday boy and it was easily one of the best cannoli we have enjoyed...even across may travels to Italy and NY. Overall an awesome dining and birthday experience, and probably good it's not in my hometown in NC as I would likely get in trouble! Five plus stars!!

It really left a lot to be desired the sauce was extremely heavy and very very acidic - I know I know it's marinara however as an Italian, I know there are ways around both of these things. We started with the squash blossoms as an appetizer which I was over the moon about & then they came to the table and they were cooked in a thick batter & had that heavy marinara on them which anyone who knows about squash blossoms knows they are very delicate and they require a delicate preparation with a thin batter and a very light sauce to not overpower the soft delicate flavor So they came out pretty much ruined. A much better option would've been a lemon herb aioli or a honey-lime drizzle Same with the beautiful mozzarella sticks drowned in that sauce - so beautifully crispy on one side & soggy & ruined on the other (put the sauce on the side as a rule!) Hubby enjoyed his veal pasta. My pasta was very overcooked - I'm an al dente person, & my daughter's gnocchi was literally swimming in alfredo sauce. Not the worst by far but definitely needs fine tuning especially at the price point.
