The staff and owner are amazing! Plus, they start serving alcohol early, so if you want a little morning buzz, this is your spot! And don't worry, they're all about good vibes, no judgment! My only complaint is that they're not open every day! But honestly, it's a small price to pay for such an amazing coffee shop! If you haven't checked out Stompin Groundz yet, get yourself over there!

It's a joy to support their business! I've been multiple time and the pastries are delicious. Also, massive! I'm always able to split one or have leftovers. The prices are great for what you get. One word of advice, you HAVE to go in with a plan. If you order an espresso drink, be certain you are prepared for a long wait (30+ min, it is not quick). If you want to have a quicker visit or don't plan for long, just grab some pastries or drip coffee. Adding a prepared drink will extend your wait exponentially. It's a popular spot, so just be aware of that if you're hoping for seating. It fills up quick and is usually packed. I have to prepare myself for encountering a crowd when I go here. The demand for delicious pastries is high! Glad to have this spot in Colorado Springs.

Visiting Colorado Springs and I was excited to try La Concha Bakery but I left disappointed…read more I ordered a concha, and while it was definitely large as you can see, the size didn't make up for the quality. A good concha should be soft, slightly fluffy and have that fresh-baked aroma. This was oversized, dry and it felt like I got more bread than flavor. For someone who grew up with Mexican pan dulce, there's that hard-to-describe "authentic" quality--it's not just sweetness, it's the texture, the crumb and the balance between the bread and the topping. I know everyone has different tastes, but for me, the concha ended up being more about quantity than quality The bakery itself was nice, the staff was really friendly but unfortunately the pastry just didn't live up to it.

The owner is dick & so is his wife. Muffins are bought from Sam's club gross! The coffee sucks, the service & people suck. Ya'll need to get out of here & let a Dutch Brothers take over because you guys have NO CLUE how to run a coffee shop. Hope you guys fail soon so I can get better coffee closer to my work. I just can't believe how RUDE these people are! Stop buying cheap chai mix from Sam's club damnit! Get your shit together & sell a quality product or go home!!! read more

Whenever I try a new coffee shop, I usually order a cold brew with oat milk since it's a great way to judge the coffee itself. The flavor was good, but I was a little disappointed with the drink. My medium cold brew was filled more than halfway with ice and only had a splash of oat milk, so it felt like there wasn't much coffee for the price. After recently visiting another shop that used coffee ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down, this one fell a bit short by comparison. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I'd be open to trying another drink in the future, but I hope the cold brew offers more value next time.
