This place shines because of its staff, and its mission is beautifully lived out every day: empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Every interaction is a reminder that everyone has something meaningful to contribute, and Castle Rock Collective exists to make sure that light is seen. I love this place, I love the people, and I wholeheartedly love the mission.

What an amazing organization supporting adults with disabilities!…read more Each person in your group fills out a sticker with their order--every coffee detail you could want is listed. It's such a smart and creative system that makes the ordering process easy, inclusive, and empowering for the staff. I love how this coffee shop thinks outside the box to create opportunities for others to work and thrive. The staff was more than sweet--they went out of their way to spark conversation and make sure we loved what we ordered. You can feel the joy and care in everything they do. Highly recommend supporting this special place!

I always enjoy a visit to Teaology, so I had to update my review to note they are still killing it!…read moreA home run every time. Tea lattes and matcha, both hot and cold options. My personal fave and rec: Oh Canada - hot! (Cold is ok, but hot is superior! I can really taste the blueberry more) but everything is wonderful! Try some of their baked goods or their lunches. Very reasonable prices. They also sell their teas by the bag!! The staff is ALWAYS incredibly welcoming and kind. It's not crowded, though it sits so conveniently in Castle Rock's downtown. There's outdoor and indoor seating, and even a little event venue you can rent! Steampunk decor is very fun and unique. Everything is always spotless clean. Overall, 100/10 - would highly recommend, even if you're not a tea connoisseur! I will definitely return.

My husband has become a tea snob, so after walking the shops in downtown Castle Rock, we popped in…read morefor a look and drink. It was definitely a fun experience! STAR #1: Location is prime, parking is decent and the space itself is cool. Seating is both indoor and outdoor (via huge tent) and vibes are on point. Decked out in a steampunk theme, the space screams cool, interesting, and is a talking piece in itself. So fun! STAR #2: Inventory is insane, ample and so fun to seek out, smell and sample! Upon entry, is a welcoming shelf filled with different teas! We sniffed our way through, asking questions to the staff and they were so welcoming and friendly! STAR #3: The drink menu is fun - allowing for all kinds of hot and iced beverages and unique! My husband opted for a hot orange tea - with just the right amount of sweetness. I landed on an iced peach tea latte, with fresh peach puree and YUM! so refreshing and delicious! STAR #4: Prices are on point for the quality and quantity! Locally made items are for sale and definitely a fun way to shop local! I know we'll return!

It seems like they keep sufficient staff because there's never a long wait for any drinks. I like stopping here for a pick me up. It's quality drinks!

LaLa's is a favorite pit stop of mine. I usually opt for their Cortado because it's that good. I…read morelove the setup of the place. Parking is a little wonky. You're lucky if you get a space in front of or near their front entrance. There is a parking lot located behind or adjacent to the Pizza Hut. The only drawback for me is the dining room is often filled with patrons and the noise level isn't favorable. Hence why I usually opt for a to go beverage and a pastry. They have great fresh baked pastries. Staff is always friendly. Sometimes their staff can learn to speak up and to speak with confidence. It doesn't take that to get my beverage and be on my way. I also like how this coffee shop is relatively close to I-25. So if you're traveling up or down 25, consider this place a pit stop. Also, I like their gift shop. It's setup near the register. So when you're waiting in line it gives you an opportunity to browse items, pickup a bag of coffee or other item before ordering. Looking forward to my next visit!

Blazing FAST internet speed! Working remotely, I wanted to find a cafe that had excellent wifi…read more At many cafes that I've gone to, the wifi speed can't handle video conference and A/V streaming. I was shocked to see how FAST the internet is here at the cafe. 130bps Down and 125 mbps Up. Absolutely incredible. It's also nice to have plenty of room between tables and chairs to sprawl out to work and relax. Love it here!!!

The first Monday of every month, East hills community church hosts a 2 hour Storytime with Daycare…read more It's amazing! It's not drop off daycare, but you leave your kids in the nursery while you have a coffee with your friends, or work etc in the coffee shop. You can't see the coffee shop from outside because it's inside the church building. They separate the kids according to age levels. The little kids play with toys, older kids get storytime and games. If it's warm they play in the playground outside as well. Very well organised. The drinks are all very reasonably priced. My 16oz tea was $1.75 and the coffees are a little more. The seating area is clean and comfortable, everyone is very friendly. There was even a child safety seat in the restroom if you don't want to leave your kid strapped to the change table! Will be back!

My wife and I stumbled upon this cafe last year, and enjoyed the coffee and cookies but even more importantly, we were charmed by the smiling servers (aka "Stars") who efficiently and proudly took our orders and served us. Special needs doesn't limit the Stars' enthusiasm for their work! The Cafe also has a great outside porch where you can watch the world go by while enjoying delicious coffee and food (quiche, soup, salad, etc.). FYI, the Wellspring Cafe is part of the Castle Rock Collective, which also includes the World Orphans Market where you can peruse a wide variety of artisan products crafted by parents trying to keep their families together. The Cafe is open weekdays from 10-2 (closed Sat/Sun). Stop in today to say hello and enjoy some great coffee and food, all served with big smiles at no extra cost - and make your day great by doing good for others!!!

I stopped by Coffee Stop this morning after an appointment at a nearby business. I drove past…read moreCoffee Stop numerous times so I'm glad that I had an opportunity to stop and try their coffee today. First and foremost, this is a drive thru ONLY coffee place. There is no sit down option inside or outside. Coffee Stop is a small shack in a parking lot within close proximity to Plum Creek Parkway and I-25. This would be an ideal location for someone traveling to or away from Denver. It's a very short drive from the Plum Creek Pkwy exit. This is how small the building is. There is just enough room for two people (staff) to stand and to take your order and prepare it for you. Their menu offers an assortment of items. They do have breakfast pastries to go with your coffee beverage. I ordered a medium drip coffee. It tasted okay. Nothing special but it did the trick with my caffeine fix. They get their coffee from a business in Denver. I like that they're local. While driving back home I sipped on my coffee. When arriving home I needed to put some sweetener in the coffee to jazz it up a bit. Overall, not bad. I would consider them as a quick coffee option. Otherwise, I have a favorite coffee place not too far from here. Again, perfect for when you need to grab a quick coffee and get on the highway or back onto it. I like that staff is personable. A gentleman took my order today. We engaged in light conversation. I never got a "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever vibe" while talking with him and when he answered my question about the source of their coffee. Again, open to returning with no hurry.

We LOVE this coffee 'hut' and make at least one trip to the other end of town for it every week. I…read morepersonally love their regular coffee and americano's, but when I don't mind the extra calories I think the Milky Way latte is amazing!! My husband always orders the 'Red Eye' which is espresso with coffee instead of water. Definitely try this place! It's worth the trip, service is always great and tastes so much better than all of the chain coffee shops in town. Best of all, I don't think a lot of people know about it as it is just a little hut in a strip mall parking lot and the pine trees kind of block it when your heading south on Wilcox just past Plum Creek. Hours are M-F 6a-1p and Saturday's 7a-11a, closed Sundays. They always have complimentary dog treats for our dog Snoopy and suckers for the kids.
