    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Siphon making yummy coffee.

    I've visited Forge two or three times and it's been really good each time. They clearly know their stuff!

    The green chile quiche and the cherry/dark chocolate pastry from The French Kitchen were amazing.

The interior is tiny, some of the booths are practically in the kitchen and they stack boxes and trash next to you while you're eating. The ventilation is poor and the food smell is overwhelming. Service is lacking. Nobody is particularly friendly here; they acted like we were bothering them to order or ask for help with anything and they rush you out the minute they think you've eaten your last bite of food. Then there's the food itself. Ordered a classic burger, cooked medium. Came out beyond well done. Fries were cold. Bun was weird, their aioli would have been better suited on a turkey sandwich and the bacon was burned. My mom ordered the Reuben and it was so wet and soggy, the bread fell apart. Meal wouldn't have been good even if it had been cooked correctly - had to be an off day because this restaurant has great reviews, but we won't be back.

The Food was very good, especially if you love garlic! but what stood out more than anything is the service. The moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm smile and welcome from Isaac. He continued to be our server and did an excellent job. Toward the end of the meal, Joshua came over to check on us, and we were in the middle of a deeply emotional conversation regarding a tragedy that occurred just a few hours prior. He was completely unfazed and immediately asked if he could pray over us. As he bowed his head to pray, Isaac ran over and completed the loop, and offered his own prayers without even knowing why he was praying. Both of them then took their own time to sit with us and chat, even though the restaurant was closing, they never made us feel rushed or unimportant. It really was divine intervention that brought us there that night. The restaurant was no where close to our hotel. We are not religious people, but we felt the unbelievable love and support from true strangers that has made this a place we will always visit when we are in Colorado. We had a half supreme pizza and half southwest sausage pizza, which were both amazing. Personally I would like less garlic on the Southwest, but it was still amazing! Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. Even if you don't like the food, the vibes in the place are awesome, and the people working there are even better. They deserve everyone to give them a visit.
