Very cool coffee shop with a beautiful space. They really care about the craft of delicious coffee. The pastries and breakfast items are delicious and the service is excellent. read more

Coffee is ok, but the owners are not very nice; Almost rude. They have no customer service etiquette.

Nice place, bright and airy with unique "ritual" type coffee makers on display. Nice staff always friendly. Not just the standard mocha and caramel flavors. I tried the buttermilk & brown sugar shake...so delicious! I will be back to try all the flavors. Oh, And they have great coffees too! read more

Great vibes and service. My chai latte to-go was A+ Just the right amount of spice and aroma. I did not have time to savor their baked goodies (they have GF options too!) so I'll have to come back for those. They have Indoor + outdoor seating and parking galore. read more

Finally checked this coffee spot out. Starting from the obvious... coffee. 10/10. All equipment is legit. Beautiful LaMarzocco espresso machine. Drip coffee held in temperature regulated containers. And delicious coffee. I had a cortado- perfection. My husband had drip coffee- incredible. Priced fairly. Did not taste any good but the bagels looked great as well as the other food items in the case. Lastly the ambiance was also 10/10. Great natural light. Clean decor. Cute plants- some planted in beakers- totally on brand. If you're a coffee lover you should definitely check this place out! read more

Truly exceptional coffee. Baked goods from The French Kitchen are fabulous. The ambiance is relaxing. Go, sit, enjoy! The service is good because the owners really care and are really knowledgeable. read more

If you care about the quality of your coffee, this is the place to go. It's so rare for a coffee shop to make their own nut milks and syrups in house but forge does. A lovely couple runs the entire place by themselves and you can tell they really care about what they're serving. Best coffee place not just in monument but all of Colorado Springs. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Forge Coffee Lab - Cold brew with almond milk & sugar free maple syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monument, Colorado

I've been a frequent customer at Forge for 2 yrs now. They remain a treasure to Monument and Colorado Springs for anyone who values very high quality coffee and family-owned businesses. The best in the area. Some lady - who incidentally has a ton of 1-star reviews on her profile - made some dumb comment suggesting they have a problem with people "of color." I'm also a person of color, as are a number of their customers, and that is ridiculous. Sorry she didn't vibe well, or with all the other businesses she dissed on, but Forge is awesome. read more

Forge is the best! My go-to spot for coffee and to get some work done. The owners are amazing and the space is beautiful. read more

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Staff is wonderful and friendly. Go there several times a week.

Great coffee shop, and I'm kind of a third-wave snob. Selection of pourovers was fantastic. We biked up from Manitou Springs and the shop didn't disappoint. Good selection of gluten free pastries also. Definitely will come back again! read more

Service was great. The lady who helped us was so sweet and gave us custom cookie butter lattes after we said we saw biscoff shakes on yelp. Loved the cookie butter lattes and all the plants read more

I wish I could go back for their Brown Sugar Buttermilk latté! We went before and after church when we were visiting the area recently or was so good! read more

I should've known better when I saw the menu filled with saccharine drink options, but my rating is mainly reflective of obscenely slow service. I could literally feel myself aging. Cute shop with deceptive marketing. You think you're getting bougie coffee but it's a Dutch Bros. knockoff. read more

Truly craft coffee, family run, great vibe. Ideal in every way! Thank you for a quality establishment that enriches the community!

Super cute coffee shop just off the exit. Numerous options for how you can have your coffee brewed: drip, French press, chemex, v60, bloom, or my personal new found favorite - siphon. Makes for a cool experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Would come again! read more

Great views of the mtns and plenty of parking. It's in the Home Depot parking lot. There's about 10 sets of small tables and chairs. Service was good. My cappuccino was a bit bitter. read more

I was in this establishment yesterday (Sunday) 01.26.2025. I was with some friends and we heard the Owners say to a young gentleman who happened to be black and with him was a white young lady who was asked to leave simply because the young gentleman had brought an outside mug. The owners were extremely rude to them and by their demeanor was very discriminating. They were told that this is not a Community Center (clearly the couple were not looking for any handout) I was appalled by the way they were treated. I will not be coming back to this coffee shop ever again and you can best believe I will Tell ALL my friends about this. Owners are RACIST!!! If I could give a 0 rating I would have. read more

Oh......my......GOODNESS!!!! Never had coffee this good. Seriously. Owners Shawn and Robin are the nicest people and like to explain/teach about the coffee they make and it is Amazing!!! This is a no joke coffee place that is clean, cozy, yummy treats, and the quality is out of this world. Since we will be living here I'm so glad to have been introduced to Forge Coffee Lab and new friends as well. I can't wait to come back over and over again. read more

Fabulous Local Coffee Shop. Their coffee and teas are wonderful- WAY better than Starbucks. They also offer too-notch bagels, quiche, and other pastries. This is a wonderful place to meet friends, do some work, or get takeout. We had a house full of guests and my husband stopped here for breakfast items in the mornings- everyone LOVED the food he brought home. read more

In town for a weekend and found this great local coffee shop. They offer traditional espresso drinks and a ton of other methods like v60, Chemex, siphon. The service was quick (for early morning) and the coffee was excellent for both the siphon and v60. I highly recommend this local shop, especially if you like good coffee. read more

Great coffee spot with beautiful decor! Owners are very kind and know our go-to order right when we walk in the door.

Clean interior, friendly staff and service, lots of parking, patio seating. I tried the lavender latte and it was very good! Will be back to try other items. read more

Love this place! They make their own syrups and they are yummy. They also have interesting coffee bean choices and the pastries are fantastic. The vibe is "industrial cozy" and a great place to meet friends or just hang out! read more

Forge Coffee Lab - Gingerbread Latte and Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Wonderful venue with excellent quality coffee. Check food prices first.....some items are expensive ($10.99 for small quiche), but worth it. read more

Been a regular customer since this coffee establishment first came on the scene in Monument. This is a locally owned and run operation. They take pride in everything they do. From the coffees they feature, their selection of food items, the decor, the music, and the maintenance of their shop. The clientele I see coming and going are by and large diverse, friendly and supportive of this special space. It's a great place to buy a drink, have a bite. Support small business and enjoy. read more

Was wanting....well, actually "needing," some real coffee and saw this place across the parking lot. Seems like they "know" coffee and I had a great light roast with a shot. I was told the origin of the beans, but am too wiped to remember. Clean. Plenty of space. If I lived here, I'd be a regular customer, but I don't. read more

Forge Coffee Lab - Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Beautiful decor, great location, BAD coffee. The coffee tastes off/old, as if the machinery needs to be cleaned. Also, it just a matter of opinion, the 1970's music list they play from is lame, loud, and outdated. read more

Best coffee shop I've been too. Food is great, coffee AMAZING! You must check it out! Kind, friendly and clean! read more

Quick and kind service with absolutely wonderful coffee. I ordered a triple shot oatmilk latte and it tastes like high quality espresso as opposed to just a generic coffee drink like you'd get from Starbucks. The space is clean and comforting with various premium beans and merchandise available for purchase. 10/10, highly recommended. I'll be giving Forge my business on days when I don't feel like brewing at home. read more

The first time I went there months ago with my adult daughter, I noticed right away that they favor their "regulars" so I never went back. My Daughter loves the coffee and when she visits she always wants to go to this place. Well today I drove her there and when she came out she told me how rudely she was treated! She's a PR in luxury Hospitality and noticed this right away! She will never go back and I don't blame her! I would hate to think it's because we are people of "color". Shameful! read more

Great barista. He made me an excellent flat white coffee this morning! Cute place with friendly and helpful people.

Not a huge coffee guy but I do in for my drip every other day and the people working there are polite and fast. Seems like a cool place to hangout or do some work. Would recommend. read more

There is no better coffee shop than The Forge. Shawn and Robin are wonderful people who know a ton about coffee. If you are not sure what to get they will help you figure it out and educate you on different brewing methods. Their sandwiches; quiches, and pastries come from The French Kitchen. Robin makes a good deal of the snacks and sweets, including the best pimento cheese spread you will ever have. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Very cute place with hanging plants and an industrial feel. We sat by the gas fireplace drinking delicious drinks. I had the gingerbread latte which was fabulous. Nice servers. I would recommend! read more

Great service & great coffee!! The owners are very personable and helpful. I hope they stay in the community for a very very long time.

Terrific coffee from great sources and knowledgable experts offering sage advice if you need help with the bean selection. If you're picky about your coffee come here. They will dial your order in exactly as you like it. And it's right by Kohl's and Home Depot, so stop in after running your errands. read more
