This was the first place we came to after getting off the plane for our Denver trip! We were both exhausted, so I did a yelp search and found this place! Boy am I glad we did! The mission is simple but powerful, they want to help nonviolent felons and kids stay out of trouble! They support organizations that help this mission! I also love how their company is built with employees in mind! This world would be a better place if more people were like that! The vibes here are very chill! There are 2 TV's to play games or watch! They have plenty of board games too! Honestly it felt like going over to someone's house! We loved this place so much we came twice during our short 4 day trip!! My boyfriend got the latte with 4 shots of espresso and I had the lady finger with oatmilk and 5150 with oatmilk. There cold foam is dairy but it was soooo worth it!! Absolutely delicious on the lady finger drink!! Starbucks could never! Our drinks were always good and done quickly! The staff is truly amazing and so fun!! They really made us feel welcome! Don't walk, RUN TO SUPPORT THIS PLACE!! They also have dirty sodas and Red Bull energy drinks that they can flavor! I believe he said they have 80 syrups!!! So you can really go crazy with whatever you want here!!

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!

They even gave my daughter a butterfly sticker. They were also quick to make my coffee. They have bakery items too if you are hungry. Prices are pretty reasonable. My medium iced coffee was under $4! I would have liked though if they had cold brew, that's my go to coffee. P.s. there is a little free library by their fenced area entrance.

I really wanted to love this place more than I did. Our family is a huge fan of Fika coffee located…read morein downtown Parker, just off of main street. But this location does not offer the same level of excellence in service, or in expertise when crafting coffee. Not only was my husband's warm brew incredibly watery, but he said he could taste grains inside, swimming at the bottom of his mug. On top of which, my own iced breve lacked any flavor, despite the fact that I'd requested an addition of three separate flavors of sugar-free syrup pumped in at the end. Seating was pretty limited, as most tables were taken by students of all ages hunched over open laptops, alongside tubby backpacks. The temperature in the lodge was nothing short of stifling, and as this has been an unseasonably warm winter, the high degree seemed extreme. I found myself sweating, even after shedding several layers, and had to walk the property in order to cool down at one point. Thankfully, the surrounding scenery of panoramic mountain views offers its own mesmerizing draw, in this particular location erected off the beaten path. Parking is tight and can be tricky when snow patches take up half the lot, as another review mentioned. I appreciated the fact that the bathroom was clean and housed lots of charm. There are sugar-free syrup options on the menu, alongside gluten-free pastries, which is always helpful for those with dietary restrictions like myself. I did fall in love with the colorful little library, cheerfully offered at one end of the lot. Books, like coffee, bring a community together. This place is worth a visit, but I wouldn't recommend going in the summer, unless they know how to actually use the air condition.

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.

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!

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!

They also have some little goodies for purchase like matcha bowls, etc. Every time, the matcha is wonderful. I like mine sweet, so I get an iced matcha latte with vanilla bean syrup and oat milk. Perfection! Sweet but not unbearably so. High quality oat milk. The staff is also very kind. They always make sure to greet you when you enter and are very genuine and personable. It's the kind of place that you feel good when you leave! We love LaLa's!

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!

Charming, quaint, homie, this newly opened coffee shop was something I stumbled upon while I was…read moreinvestigating some businesses on Main Street in Elizabeth just yesterday (Sept 14, 2024 to be exact.) It was an early afternoon time around 1:30pm. Before I was going to my job assignment, I needed a quick coffee break. As I was coming out of the business right across from the street, this coffee shop didn't escape my notice. I wasted no time to rush to it to check it out. This shop is conjoined with a little country shop. Once you are inside the building, the coffee shop is to the right. A young lady welcomed me with a smile. I was the only person at the time of the visit so I was immediately helped. The drink menu is a good size. They also have a decent selection for breakfast and lunch items. My iced latte (16oz) was not even $5 after tax. I truly appreciate the small town prices. This place does look like something the town of Elizabeth had long been waiting for: another boost to make this quiet and quaint town could utilize to bring some curious visitors to come check out and see how cute Elizabeth is. When I pick up another shift in this part of town, now I know where to go to get a refreshing iced latte (by the way, my latte tasted really good!)
