My boyfriend and I went here for the Taste of Pikes Peak event and we had a wonderful time! We enjoyed so many food and drink vendors! We got to try various beers, wine, and eateries we'd never tried before, and also some we'd been to before. We especially enjoyed Stellina Pizza and Edelweiss. The Paris themed bakery was my absolute favorite. We loved the garden, the decorations, and the vibes overall, including the live music, especially because I knew people in the band!

Love the atmosphere here. Beautiful scenery, delicious lattes. It’s great that private parties can be had while I sip on my latte with a friend in the garden. Highly recommend!

I’m in love with this place! I went for a Wednesday night concert and had so much fun roaming around, listening to multiple bands, checking out all the different spaces and vibes. It seems like THE place to go on Wednesdays in COS in the summer and it’s obvious why. I ran into friends and even spent time chatting with strangers. It’s a community place for sure. I loved our Wednesday night experience so much that I went back to enjoy the venue during the day on a Saturday. It’s so beautiful both day and night, and the coffee shop is legit (get the cortado 🙌 it reminded me of European coffee in craft). They were setting up for a wedding, so we couldn’t roam around like we did at night but it was still just so beautiful and peaceful. A little gem in a busy city. We met up with the owners who are lovely people and willing to talk to you about the venue. They really care about this spot and want to enrich the community through arts and joint spaces. It was fun to hear their love for COS and their ambitions! I will absolutely be back for more coffee, more plants, more music, more crafted drinks, and more good vibes ♥️
