Downtown's best-loved third-wave coffee bar — single-origin pours, locally-roasted espresso, pastries from neighborhood bakers, and a minimalist concrete-and-light space designed to actually let you work.

If you came to Colorado Springs to work for a few mornings, this is the spot — strong wifi, plenty of outlets, and espresso that actually shows you what they’re about. The flat white and cortado are the staples.

Pastries rotate from local bakeries. Order at the bar; baristas are friendly without being chatty. Two locations now (downtown and northside) but the original on Nevada has the best vibe.
