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!

Not another soul in the restaurant except Holly the waitress who was an absolute delight. The owner was out getting restaurant supplies so Holly brought us our water, took our orders and said to just come get her in the back if we needed something because she was doing the cooking. So we made a fresh pot of coffee, got some games from the stack and played Uno while we waited. Other reviews day it's quick and probably is on a busy weekend.

We also got the Olde St Joes and Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee which were both delicious. They had the perfect amount of flavor, it wasn't too sweet but you could taste the difference in each coffee.

Here, it did not. The scramble was bland, the seasoning barely perceptible, and the burrito lacked anything resembling a defining flavor. Cholula provided most of the excitement. A single slice of orange arrived alongside it, less a garnish than an afterthought. The dish ultimately tasted like precisely what it appeared to be: tofu dusted with turmeric and wrapped in a tortilla. The service model was equally puzzling. Drinks are collected yourself, dishes are cleared yourself, water is not brought to the table, and my meal arrived with a fork but no knife. None of this is inherently objectionable, but it helps to explain the system, particularly to first-time visitors. A restaurant cannot expect guests to understand its rules when no one bothers to tell them what they are. The coffee was good, though sweeteners required another small scavenger hunt. Perhaps regulars know exactly where everything is, clear their plates without thinking, and return happily for the atmosphere. For a visitor, however, the "vibes" were doing considerably more work than the kitchen.

Not cheap, and in a bottle no less, but wine in any case. We laughed drinking from our individual bottles. The wine wasn't a great vintage...go figure.

Drinks are going to be drinking, Not that I've gotten that out of the way... I've always heard such great things about Bird Tree Cafe. And I hadn't gone until yesterday! Figured I'd go before the farmers market across the street in Acacia Park. I got the bookworm latte and it was so good. I was worried it would be too sweet (it was a little sweet), but the brown sugar cinnamon syrup they make really balanced it out. It was so good. It was creamy, dreamy, and the caramel was decadent. I didn't get any food--just the coffee unfortunately, but I do plan on coming back! $7.25 (I think) for a latte is a bit pricey, but the drink is really good. So if you're gonna spend a bit extra, go there for a coffee instead of Starbucks. Service was quick for a long line and the hanging plants and lights made for such a great vibe. I cannot wait to come back and try their breakfast and more lattes!
