Great place to stop for an iced coffee or tea, a book, or just to take a rest while visiting downtown COS. There is fun merchandise and pop culture branded items for sale. The iced coffee I ordered hit the spot and once you ask for the code, you can find a clean, private restroom in here too. It appears to be a popular place to plug in a laptop and jump on the wifi too. Appreciated the fast and friendly service. read more

Ive given this solar roast a few chances now and they have messed up each time. 1st-I ordered an iced green chile white mocha and they gave me a Pueblo which is completely different. 2nd I asked for the same thing and didn't put any green chile syrup in it. 3rd-I asked for iced and she gave me a hot. 4th and final time-I noticed there were chunks of green chile in it. I asked what this was about and she said they didn't have any green chile syrup so she made her own with green chile. Trust me I love Pueblo green chile but not chunks of it in my coffee. If you're ever in Pueblo the solar roast down there is way better and have never messed up. Highly recommend. read more

Loved this place! The employees were so nice & gave great recommendations. Additionally, the vibe was cool - they had vinyl records, art, and good music. Prices are great too! read more

Place is dirty smells like homeless hang out in their. Organic good coffee but dirty ingredient syrups.

Great friendly ambience! Lots of books and records and some other merch to look through. I ordered a caramel macchiato and asked if they could make it in a house cup. They were so friendly, made me a delicious hot drink, and the price was great. When I go back I will try some food and buy some beans. I snagged a bag of the Nightmare Before Christmas Blend from Mountain Mama's, and it is sooo good. read more

Horrible service! Open till 4pm but won't serve you after 3pm. Walked in 40 minutes before close. Not like 10. Person in front of us was told they could ONLY order espresso for coffee bc the employee shut down most of the machines already. That customer decided to go elsewhere. We get to the counter and attempt to order a simple bagel. The employee tells us she can no longer serve food since they close "soon." Solar roast should just close at 3 since they will refuse to make food or most drinks after that time but for some reason are open till 4. Employee couldn't care less that she lost 3 customers, seemed like she just wanted to sit alone in the store till she could go home. read more

grooviest place ever! came in for breakfast thinking it was a normal local cafe, but i was surprised to see dozens of books and vintage records for sale along the walls. the staff is friendly and easy going, and they have a playlist of all the coolest music playing at all times. i got a tomato eye opener and a london fog, both of which im really impressed by. the tomatoes are fresh and juicy, the bagels are some of the best you'll find in the Springs, and the tea has a lovely flavor. im definitely going to be a regular here read more

While I am happy that Solar Roast has returned from their unfortunate fire, I must take exception with what I see as an unreasonable price increase on their roasted coffee beans. Before the fire, they sold 5 pounds of roasted beans for $55. That was a wonderful deal but was for sure too low. Coffee prices over the last five years have increased roughly 20% so an increase was justified. However, they now sell that same 5 pounds of beans for $85, or from $11 per pound to $17 per pound. This is a 55% increase which I find completely unreasonable. There are far too many other options available at prices that are palatable. read more

We're new transplants to Pueblo, and have visited a few times. Great backstory, friendly, talented staff and outstanding drinks. This is also a wonderful location to catch up on some work or explore the adjoining shops. Highly recommend. read more

I needed some coffee grounds on the way home from climbing and yoga and thought I'd check this place out. I was psyched I stopped by. Super friendly and helpful baristas. They sell records, pins, food, all kinds of drinks...and oh yeah, coffee! I got a tasty organic Colombian blend they grow here in Colorado. I'm gonna stop by here and actually sit sometime because they had a super chill vibe and plenty of seats. If you're downtown and want a coffee CHECK THIS PLACE OUT read more

Stopped in here to grab a coffee while exploring the downtown area. Perfect spot to grab a drink and keep moving through the surrounding shops, particularly the bookstore (separate review). Interior has giant murals splashed across the walls, outside has shaded seating, strong wifi available. I like that they have several specialty beverages here and ended up getting a hot nonfat white chocolate mocha that I really enjoyed. Service was quick, price was reasonable. I would come back to try their food on another visit! read more

Solar Roast Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I am honestly shocked at how rude the baristas were. I arrived with two small kids and we stood at the register for over ten minutes without being aknowledged. I finally politely asked the baristas where to order and was met with a rude response. When my five year old daughter politely asked for a water and thanked her, she did not get a response. The food and coffee were good but we will not be back based on service. I completely understand being busy, but to not a knowledge the presence of a customer and to ignore them completely is not it. read more

$20 plus a 15% tip for 2 specialty lattes), small & a large) and a piece of pumpkin bread (way too sweet). Quality and service was good. Ambiance inside is okay. Could use more tables and chairs. Looking out the window would be great if it wasn't for the "unhoused" and transients, squatting outside the window, spitting on the ground and coming back-and-forth from the park and streets. On the other hand, this is the typical Colorado Springs, Old Colorado City, and Denver. They receive a one star rating because they charge paying customers a dollar for a cup of water! Won't return or recommend. Go to Stir, Perks Pike or Tree Bird, Kawa or Loyal, either Switchback Coffee Roasters locations or Third Space instead. read more

Went not too long ago and ordered the lox bagel which is always what I order. I figure your workers have never been out in the real world since they look about high school age, but traditional lox bagels come with ONIONS, capers, smoked salmon, tomatoes, and the cream cheese spread. Therefore, I ask for onions everytime I get this bagel. This time I went in and ordered like normal. Lox bagel with onions. The girl then proceeded to ask me again if I wanted red onions and I said yes. She looks over to her coworker and laughs while I'm still standing there and goes "I know" implying it's going to be such a hassle for them to put the onions on. After I pay, the girl that took my order goes over to the girl making it and still continues to laugh and say that onions just "overpower" everything. Like I said you girls look like you're in high school still and this is your first job, however it's extremely unprofessional to speak poorly or joke about a paying customers order right in front of them. Shame on you girls and whoever trained you. Unfortunately you can't train someone to have basic human respect. read more

Solar Roast Coffee - a display of vinyl records - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I gotta say.... really, really NOT bad... Legit good espresso and associated Coffee Shop fare with the addition of some classic Vinyl selections for sale as well. I had the Zebra Mocha as well as a side car of a Double Espresso and can honestly dlsay it was really excellent! The folk behind the counter are doing it RIGHT ON and are friendly, courteous and spot on.. Being downtown, there's a collection if characters wandering about... some of them are carrying on in deep conversation.... with themselves... but hey... they're customers and thats cool. Nestled on a corner spot and I cant imagine this plane NOT being a big hit... Official Grand Opening 11 Oct 2019... come and get you some of that!!! #GYSOT read more

Just fyi they WERE open today, a sunday, before or around 11am, because i noticed yelp said closed. The woman who helped us was very kind and she almost had me at matcha, but i got a lemon bar instead. My husband got their zebra coffee, which is like mocha and white chocolate together, i think? Unfortunately he didnt find it any more special than simple coffee with milk. I tasted it and it was fine, but not very sweet. So he gave it to my dad, and my dad loved it. So who is to say?? Unfortunately the lemon bar, while good, tasted and smelled strongly of onion bagel. I assume they were all in the same case. So it kinda ruined the effect. I really love lemon bars. Not sure if these were vegan or anything, but if it was i definitely couldnt tell. The crust wasnt that buttery shortbread, more oats i think. I mean, i'd come back. Try something else. I dont live here tho so it'll be awhile. read more

Basic cappuccino and dry cupcake for $10. Only a few customers but it took 20 minutes for my coffee. The albums for sale are so overpriced that I had to read the price tag twice. $30 for a Jethro Tull album. ($23 on Amazon). Very limited seating. Seems like one person camps out at each table for the free WiFi. I won't return read more

The macchiato was so smooth and delicious, iced tea was perfectly brewed and the pumpkin bread was definitely a highlight

I am a visitor here in Colorado Springs, and I'm always scoping out unique and fun coffee shops. This place was exactly that! I chose it because it's the worlds first solar coffee roaster! The atmosphere was fun and interesting. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us out. The lavender white mocha (I got mine with oatmilk) was delicious! Creamy and different, with the perfect balance of lavender and white mocha. Nothing was overpowering. I also got the tofu scramble burrito (ate it before I got a picture) and it was delicious! It's rare that I encounter a place that gets it right. Can't wait to come back and try it out again! read more

I love this place! it totally fits in with the downtown Colorado Springs vibe. It's on the perfect corner, right when you enter downtown, so there's usually parking or some close enough that walking isn't a big deal. Or for tourists, it's a great place to start your walk down Tejon, gather with friends here first and have a delicious latte or yummy granita. I love the lavender latte with almond milk, or the four berry granita. there is seating inside and out, although it is minimal. There's also an interesting selection of retro and vintage vinyl records to look at. The barista's are always very friendly. It's worth a stop. read more

Great addition to downtown COS. Much better than Starbucks that used to be here. 10% off for riding your bike! Coffee is very light and smooth. Best part is the burritos: Pueblo chilies, hand cut potatoes, quality bacon. During their opening week they gave out free coffee and food samples all day on the sidewalk. Their vibe is positive and staff are really engaging. read more

The coffee is delicious, lemonade is perfect, and the WiFi is strong. Staff are friendly and attentive. The music is chill but not too loud. There are several places to plug in your electronic devices. Varied food and snack options! The eye-opener breakfast sandwich is simple and tasty. I think this place could use a few more electronic outlets but overall I am really glad I made the choice to check it out. This might be our new spot! read more

People were super friendly, coffee and snacks were good. Great ambiance. Nice morning stop.

They had a very delicious drip coffee which was a surprise for me. A little disappointed they didn't offer a pour over.

Solar Roast is a Nice place but the coffee isn't that bright. I ordered a $5 strong pour over. It was super weak and definitely not strong. Sorry to say but Starbucks dark hour old drip would out shine their expensive fresh pour over. They have shinny happy people here and a lot of interesting drinks to offer, including a CBD infused coffee. So come bye if your getting a espresso style drink maybe that's better than straight up coffee. read more
