The Perk

My favorite coffee shop of all time! I love to come work on the 2nd floor because it has so much natural light from the huge windows and they have great breakfast burritos and sandwhich wraps. Sometimes I sit on the outdoor patio to enjoy the fresh air. I love the lattes, both hot and cold! There are wonderful baked goods all fresh and locally sourced and it's hard to choose, but I just recently had a candy cane scone and it's currently my favorite. Sometimes there is live music and this past Sunday, I thoroughly enjoyed the voice and guitar playing of Jasper Rose. There is an area of amazing plants for sale and I get them as gift regularly, as well as a lot of local artist's paintings, etc. for sale. The couple who own the shop are lovely, and the staff is always friendly and on the ball. I love getting my coffee in a real mug with real dishes and silverware instead of paper and plastic...and once you order, you can take a seat as they will bring it out to you! I've yet to get an adult beverage, since I'm usually working, but they sound incredible and on my radar to try soon!!

If you're looking for a cozy and unique coffee shop in downtown Colorado Springs, The Perk Downtown is a must-visit. As a locally owned establishment, they offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The shop features an impressive array of art work for sale from local artists, which adds to the charm of the place. One of the things that sets The Perk Downtown apart is the beautiful hand painted murals that adorn the walls. They are truly works of art and provide a feast for the eyes while you sip on your coffee. With two floors of seating, there is plenty of space to find a cozy nook or a spot to spread out and get some work done. But the real gem is the outdoor space on the top floor, complete with colorful iron bistro sets and a view of the mountains. Not only is the atmosphere at The Perk Downtown delightful, but the coffee is top-notch as well. They offer a variety of blends and brews to suit any taste, and their baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. Whether you're looking to catch up with friends or simply enjoy some quiet time alone, The Perk Downtown is the perfect spot to do so. I highly recommend checking it out!

My boyfriend and I originally wanted to go to Urban Egg, but the line was way too long as per usual, so we figured we’d find something else. From the outside, we thought okay we’ll just get coffee and head to find something else to eat. But once inside, we discovered this comforting atmosphere that also had breakfast items. So we stayed. Thank God we did. We decided to get hot chocolate, a mimosa for myself, avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich. Omg when I tell you I was in heaven…it was so delicious and definitely filled that hunger. We will definitely be going back to try more that they have to offer.
