Pikes Perk Coffee & Tea

this place is right off the busy road of academy. it’s very spacious and has a variety of different types of seating (both outside and inside). they even have a private room for big meetings. i stayed here for roughly 4 hours and no one complained, and there was enough seating for other customers, even when the shop was at its busiest. the customer service was average. i ordered a medium americano with pumpkin pie spice and it was so-so. it was about 4.80. tasted like the cup of coffee i make at home, didn’t really taste the pumpkin-ness, but it wasn’t bad. when she was making it, she asked if i wanted room for cream and i said sure just because i like adding my own cream. then she hands it to me and says “i added cream” just something i didn’t prepare for. they give also ordered an egg croissant sandwich with spinach and swiss cheese. it was kind of bland and i could’ve made it better at home. this place does not have music. they have a small book shelf for “take a book, leave a book” and games that you can use. overall this place is great for if you are wanting pastries (sweet breads, croissants, danishes, cinnamon rolls, and cake) or delicious burritos. i’d probably go somewhere else tho if i want a smooth cup of coffee. i might come back to try their lattes. i didn’t get one this time tho because they were so expensive (5.15 plus another .99 for added flavor). update (12/2022) their lattes are so nice. probably one of the best i’ve had in colorado springs. the roast was sweet and smooth. they’ve really upped their game. quiche was okay, probably won’t get it again as the smell was kind…off-pudding. their cinnamon rolls, though, very good, very good 👌👌

First thing to know: THE WATER. Hits like no other. Thirsty? Come to this Pikes Perk. Not feeling coffee? Come refresh your palette with the complimentary water. Now the coffee: I got an iced latte. The espresso is smooth and not bitter. Great flavor. We also came on a Saturday morning and saw the blue grass band playing! Very pleasant surprise!

Love this place. My friend took me here while I was visiting from out of town. They have great coffee as well as amazing service. Free wifi is included as well which makes it a good place to sit down and catch up on some work.

Had a great atmosphere, nice staff and pretty good coffee. I think the best thing about this place is the open atmosphere with the amazing view in the background. Wish I could have spent more time at the shop. Coffee is good and reasonably priced. Hope to come back in the future.

The new owners have updated and upgraded this coffee shop. There is wine and beer, power outlets everywhere, a meeting room with a tv, and best of all good food. They've added items to the menu: from bagels, to sandwiches, cheesecake, and coffee. My new favorite hanging out space.
