The employees here are great! They offer recommendations and will gladly give you samples of drinks if you are unsure. The location has seating indoors but it is very limited, we waited at the outside tables for a bit until a table became available. We ordered their Rueben sandwich and the Chicken on the Ranch, both sandwiches were delicious. The sandwiches were a good size to keep us full for the majority of the day. 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. read more

We arrived just before noon and had to wait for the restaurant to open. We were second in line, and by the time it opened, there were four groups behind us. It's a small space with interesting and unique décor. We both ordered the turkey sandwich and shared a peach tea. My husband wasn't impressed with the tea, but I enjoyed it. The sandwiches were fresh, made to order, and served warm. Overall, the food was great. People were constantly coming and going with food and drinks, so it was clearly a popular spot. Since we were just passing through, I'm glad we stopped and gave it a try. read more

This is a cute and quaint restaurant. The people are friendly and helpful. The problem is that their sandwiches are simply awful. I ordered a mozzarella sandwich and received a doughy whole wheat hamburger bun with a tiny sliver of cheese. I could barely find it! Also, a roast beef, which was normal proportions, but flavorless. Maybe the other choices are better, but I kind of doubt it. read more

Loved the waffle and chicken sandwich. Veggies were so fresh and I don't know how they make sauce they put on the sandwich but it was so good. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Very cool place, like eating in a tree house! read more

Really liked this place! Perfect stop after a hike on a warm spring day. I got the iced peach mate & brisket fillet and they were both so good. My friend also enjoyed her mango mate & deli rose. The oatmeal cookie was also a nice treat. Will be back for the food and friendly service! read more

I'm familiar with the Maté Factor in Savannah so when I saw one in Manitou Spring I knew it was the perfect stop to grab a quick bite! The decor is eclectic and a bit unique with some indoor seating. Their breads and pastries are all made in-house. They have a much larger menu at this location. I love the build your own sandwich option. I went with the chipotle chicken with cheese on an onion bun. It came with kettle chips and a crunchy pickle spear. I also got a large mango mate, which is one of my absolute favorite drinks! There's a handful of chairs outside that allow you to soak up the sun or relax in the shade. read more

I don't typically leave reviews but felt this place deserved one. It was AMAZING! I didn't take pictures to share but everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The pesto sandwich, turkey sandwich, and chef salad were all full of flavor. I had the frozen peanut bar (as I am gluten intolerant) and I want to go back to get another. If you are in this area, I highly recommend checking it out! Especially if you have food restrictions...you'll find something here! read more

Walking into this little gem you might not expect great food. Actually we didn't know what to expect. BUT it was great. I had a chef salad and hubby had a Chicken Zinger sandwich with a side of chips. The guy that waited on is was so friendly. The food was great. We also got a Mate' bar on the way out and it was FINE! You won't go wrong if you hop into this little corner place. read more

My family of 4 came here for lunch after doing Pikes Peak, ordered 3 sandwiches and one salad, and the kids each had the peach mate. Everything was delicious! The first bite of my turkey sandwich and I immediately tasted one of the best sandwiches of my life! The bread was so soft and warm, the veggies were perfectly ripe, the turkey was delish, perfection! My family were also very pleased with their orders! When eating in a touristy spot you never know if you will get quality food or not but this place was a pleasant surprise! If we come back to CS we will def return here for a meal! read more

My friends and I came down from Pike Peak cog railway and it's our first time visit this town. We were hungry after the train ride and spotted this cafe after getting off the shuttle bus. The cafe is not big but the vibe is very cozy. There's no waiter coming to serve you. You can go straight to the counter to place your order and the food will be served to your table. I ordered chicken sandwich which contains avocado and tomato. It tastes fairly good. read more

The town of Manitou quiets after 7:30 on a weekday, but if you're about in town this is an amazing cozy nook to find an awesome sandwich. They also have great breakfast options served anytime. Feels like a country home kitchen inside, everything warm woods. Service was kind and friendly, made for an easy time. This would also be an ideal reading or study spot. I had the Deli Pesto and it was amazing. Weird thing to complement, but they had just the best orange juice. read more

Chipotle Chicken Sandwich could have been really good except it was smothered in the chipotle mayo, so much so, it was almost inedible. Wife had a chef salad with the house vinaigrette and she really enjoyed it. Tiny and quaint little place, with great service. read more

The store looks small, but food really good . Nice afternoon with the nice food. The only things was our seat had been taken by the people behind us , waiting in line for order the food read more

Super cute cafe. Friendly staff. Great cabin style decor. My chicken pesto sandwich was very tasty. The orange soda is so good! So is the root beer! read more

We didn't try the food but got their mate drink to go. It's refreshing, not too sweet, and a nice thirst quencher to enjoy outside overlooking the stream. It's about $3.75/cup and again is reasonably priced considering it's located on the Main Street in a tourist town. read more

Oh my goodness, we live in Indiana and I can't wait to come to Manitou Springs, CO just to get this green juice! YUM!! We got juice and snacks here on Friday. The chocolate raspberry muffin was already amazing and then he said, "Do you want it steamed with butter?" Did you just look into my soul?!?! Yes, please! Fabulous! Go! Super friendly staff/owners. Love this place! read more

This was my son's favorite restaurant in Manitou. The ambiance is warm and cozy with cute murals and lots of wood and leather. Very homey! We had a salad, grilled cheese and potato chowder- satisfying and hearty! read more

I recently came here with a friend on a beautiful Tuesday morning and was in awe at how adorable this shop is. I used to come as a teenager, and for some reason I stopped. I can't imagine why! I got the mango mate and it was divine. I'm left craving it, unfortunately I'm stuck at work most days when it's open. I'll be back soon though. I fell in love with the vibe immediately. Whatever their selling, I'm buying lol! read more

Not worth the money. Half chef salad had five small chunks of turkey. Had to pay extra for a slice of gf bread. Couldn't have cheese cuz I'm dairy free (yet that didn't gain me any more turkey). Oh, and there were no olives even though that was listed on the menu. Won't be back and don't recommend. read more

Wait is way to long, they take 5-10 minutes to process someone's order. 6 people behind the register and it looks like 2 people are working it's a joke. read more

Set in a rather unique urban environment (next to a city park, on a very busy thoroughfare and backed up against a mountain stream!) and offering a message of good news with every order (and in the all-round ambience), this little eatery is a real gem in the touristy community called Manitou Springs. They offer great sandwiches, breakfast entrees, baked goods and a multitude of beverage options (as the name suggests). Most certainly a must-do choice on the west side of Colorado Springs! read more

Wonderful experience! We just happened to end up in Manitou after coming down from Pikes Peak and what an adorable place! We stopped for some drinks here at Mate and so glad we did. I had an iced coffee latte and he had a hot mint mocha. Both were made perfect and the girl at the register was too sweet! I really liked the mint mocha, it was like a peppermint patty but not as intense, just the right mint flavor. The inside was too cute, with little tables under gorgeous murals. The bathroom was very clean as well. All around loved this place and this quaint little town. My only regret is that we didn't try any mate. We were in a hurry to grab and go. I would come back and be sure to come again if I ever find myself in the area. read more

This is a review of our party of 4. I would give an overall rating of 4.5 if possible. Two of us had the Reuben and loved it! Three of us tried the mango tea and it was perfect! The other two had the Deli Pesto sandwich. One of our party said it was way too much pesto sauce on the sandwich and the other gives it a 4. The decor is very cute but very limited seating. I'd guess the whole place could accommodate possibly 20 people. We noticed a lot of people picking up take out orders though. It's on a busy corner in Manitou Springs so we parked a few blocks away and walked there. While waiting on our meal we read some literature they made available to the public and discovered the restaurant is operated by a group called 12 Tribes of Israel and if we understood correctly, your patronage will help to support that group. So if that matters you might research it. If not enjoy a good sandwich. read more

Never got around to trying any of the food. Entering this place was like stepping in to the twilight zone. For whatever their reasons, the employees were hell bent on not taking our order. Around 5 minutes in I said we should go somewhere else, but my better (and more patient) half convinced me to give them a little longer. Around 15 minutes later, after the employees had run out of excuses and the only other customer in front of us was long gone, the mix of hope and hanger was overwhelming. At one point the lady behind the counter appeared to pretend to be on the phone while awkwardly avoiding eye contact and we decided to terrorize these poor souls no longer. Wish I could review the food people rave about, but y'all were on some real weird sh.... read more
