    You ever get a 19 sleep number on your bed...?!?! It took a real special sort of night. The type where you get home from work and fall into bed at 130a then get the worse food poisoning imaginable for several hours and your alarm goes off in the 5a hour to get up and hit LAX on the "busiest travel day of the year". That my friend is how you achieve a 19! That being said, by the time I flew to Denver, rented a car and drove to Colorado Springs I was in desperate need of a latte. I made it to Switchback by 230p before they closed on Sunday. I was only in town for 20 hours to celebrate my sons birthday and spend some time with him and if not for this pumpkin spice latte that brought me back to life I wouldn't have been able to get into celebration mode. I really do believe Switchback is the best coffee in town. Consistently outstanding at different locations. I'm so thankful they were open. Fantastic service. I sat there for a moment to enjoy my latte before driving to my son's place. If I lived nearby this would be my everyday coffee spot. Highly recommend.

    The Kenya pourover was life changing. Service was great as well. Will definitely be back next time we are in CO Springs.

    Pretty good coffee and the pastries looked good too. Service was very friendly and the baristas fostered a great community give. Parking a bit rough and there was a weird waterstain or something on the ceiling right above the espresso machine area tho

    Absolutely loved this little coffee shop! I got the honey matcha--it wasn't too sweet, just the right balance, and so yummy. I'm visiting from California and it came highly recommended--and now I see why! The shop has a super homey feel, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, nothing fancy inside, but it gives cozy, comforting vibes. Plenty of seating, too. Definitely a cute spot I'd come back to!

    Pumpkin Pie Latte

    The ambiance is fantastic, cozy vibe with fun baristas. Their pumpkin pie latte and flavored flash brews are fantastic and great for studying/reading. As a student, favorite coffee shop due to the amazing service, vibe, and coffee.

    Avocado Toast

    This place surprised me. So many seating options at tables, the bar, outside, etc. Many different spaces for reading or talking or studying. Their avocado toast was amazing! Love that they had food options.

    Went to this cute little coffee spot today! The ordered the avocado toast and it delicious! The best part was the spicy green sauce it came with! I also ordered the matcha oat milk latte and it was great! Overall a cute spot and it's a good spot to work from to!

    Great coffee. Good vibe. It's nested in a neighborhood. This place is always packed. They have vegan/gluten free baked goods

    What a cute place for coffee in CO Springs! The design of the cafe was super cute and the barista was friendly and patient with us! Their menu is a little limited but the coffee and avocado toast and croissant were delicious! Def check them out!

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Drip coffee was fantastic! They have an awesome mission to make a cup of coffee accessible to everyone. When you pay for your coffee, you have the options to pay what you can, the price of the coffee, or the price of the coffee plus a few cents more to pay forward. This kind of mission makes me want to come back. Sandwich was great! The English muffin was a little dense which is not my personal preference but it was tasty. Employees were super nice. Lots of seating and big windows. We had not been here in years and came to work today and will definitely be coming back.

    Beautiful coffee shop close to downtown and the hospital, with some of the best ambiance I've ever seen! Big, gorgeous, green, leafy plants decorate the interior with natural light and comfy seating. It was quite busy when I stopped in, understandably so. This would be a great place to work, read or visit. Heck, even a date! They have a variety of food options and the coffee is wonderful. I had a dirty chai latte with oat and it was hot, slightly spicy and delicious. If you prefer the sweeter chai, maybe opt for something else!

    Go to remote work, hang out, breakfast and coffee spot for me and my friends. I look forward to their pumpkin scone every fall season (but tbh they are all incredible). Spacious place with lots of seating options (indoor and outdoor). My only con is that the only regular milk they carry is whole milk (why did everyone stop carrying skim and 2%?!)

    Bagels made fresh in house daily

    If you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing café with calm, soothing energy, then this be the one. I only grabbed a quick coffee and bite to go but the environment with clean white walls and greenery strewn about was all the vibe. SO much seating inside and out, all with said calming energies. They have coffee and food and I did eye their bagels which they make fresh in-house everyday. WOW, it was clearly fresh and while not your typical NYC bagel with the chewiness that a boiled and baked process should produce, there's were big (in diameter) and tasty. Cream cheese was provided on the side and they warmed it up wrapped in some foil so as not to crisp it up too much. What a pleasant neighborhood café to divert to on the morning drive.

    Nice coffee shop in one of the rooms of a "reclaimed" elementary school, with each of the old…read moreclassrooms being a different business and the hallway housing overflow tables for dining at. FOOD: We got a couple of chai lattes which were okay, if a bit on the sweet side. My wife got an interesting ham-apple-berry-brie bagle sandwich (messy but tasty); I got a breakfast burrito (more of a breakfast panini) (huge, overly-cheesy, but tasty). SERVICE: In the face of a lot of business (it was 11 am, there was a line at the counter the entire time we were there, plus all the tables in the shop were full, as were several more in the hallway), the service was very friendly and fairly efficient. Drinks were ready in a reasonable time. There was a bobble with the sandwich order (drinks are picked up at the counter by name; foodstuff you get a table number marker and is delivered to you), but they recovered very graciously. Since the food was scratch-made, it looks, it was in a reasonable time frame. ATMOSPHERE: Very crowded, pretty noisy, rather spare and worn environment -- arguably all signs of how successful they've been. Saw lots of open laptops at tables -- I suspect a lot of folk enjoy the free wi-fi and good eats and drinks. The parking lot was ... very full, except for the several Tesla chargers, only one of which was in use (we still had a good charge so we didn't make use of them). NET-NET: It was a great place for coffee and a bite on our way north out of the downtown where we didn't have to worry (as much) about parking. In a similar situation, I'd be happy to return.

    The Tesla charger is right in the same area. This is a great spot to chill and get some good…read morecoffee. I decided to get a matcha latte since it was late in the day. The barista crafted it very pretty and it tasted very good. Lots of seating and wifi is strong. I saw a lot of people working on their laptops. The seating is all harder surface so I can imagine your bootie feeling it if you stay here for a while but it's still comfortable enough. Prices are very reasonable and service is very friendly
