What a hidden gem this place is—from the roughly-cut stone walls to the soft glow of a fire flickering across a massive grate. There’s plush seating sprinkled throughout the space, to enjoy serene panoramic views of green and blue just beyond the windows. Even the outdoor space provided is therapeutic, with fountains gurgling on both sides of the pond. My only complaint would be the distinct lack of friendliness shown from the short curly, dark-haired barista who took my order, though the other two workers seemed very sweet. She puts off unwelcoming vibes, 100%. I still plan on returning with my family, because happily, it’s a tucked away spot that feels inviting enough without the help of servers. The pastries looked delightful, too. I recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area, it’s a fun escape while grabbing fuel. ☕️

The barista made me my own creation of coffee, took the time to be friendly and answer my questions, the only thing is it is the gated entrance to someones shared neighborhood. The lake is really nice almost like your in a wealthy persons backyard drinking coffee 😂

We popped into coffee on a very cold January day while we were on our way down to Colorado Springs. We had trouble getting a chair! And it was too cold to go outside. We both had some sort of a pastry treat and both the coffee and the tree are not memorable, but they were fine but the ambience there is lovely. There are a lot of people working on laptops and I imagine if the weather were nicer, would’ve been wonderful to be outside every single chair was full in the place. It was hard to find a place to sit.
