Cute coffee shop in a convenient spot around downtown Castle Rock. (Next door to a bakery, so hop…read moreinto the store next door for a fresh cinnamon role!) I always grab an oat milk latte if I'm going to grab some coffee, and this was pretty good. Though, even for a smaller size, it was a bit too milky for me. I prefer to taste a bit more of that espresso, personally, but it was still decent and better than a few other options I've had downtown. They have a few pastry options, and cold breakfast burritos from Kiowa. The burrito was great! Flavorful. Several spots to sit in and eat/drink, and a few cute bistro tables/chairs outside on the sidewalk. The one thing missing for me was the service/hospitality. The staff couldn't be bothered to respond to a thank-you, and the demeanor was just a bit strange overall for a customer service role. They were happy to chat amongst each other, though. Maybe it was just an off day, so who knows, we might try again. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a shot.

We recently tried the Castle Rock location after having a good experience at the Highlands Ranch…read morelocation last year. Overall they have really good coffee and yummy food. This location has plenty of seating and cute decor. We tried the breakfast burritos and they were delicious. The lemon poppyseed scone was good too. The spicy chai was definetly spicy but not in the way that I was expecting. Instead of a stronger traditional spiciness associated with chai (such as cloves, cinnamon, etc) there was an unpleasant burning flavor/sensation in the back of my throat after I swallowed each sip - almost like a cayenne or something. It ruined the whole drink and now I know to avoid the spicy chai and I will just opt for a regular chai next time. My husband enjoyed his iced vanilla latte. Make sure you go early on the weekends otherwise there will be a line out the door and they will be sold out of burritos and pastries.

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.

My first time visiting a smoothie king. Besides smoothies they offered a variety of protein bars…read morecookies etc. I noticed one high top sitting table and across from that were two other chairs and that was it as far as a seating area. Quick to place order. I asked "sleepy" employee taking my order what her favorite was and for an additional charge she said I could add the banana I was wanting so I ordered a large along with a slice of "Everything"Avocado toast which was a big portion. As I waited near the pick up window the same girl who took my order was there making my smoothie and As I glanced around the store I noticed a rather large and very interesting painting hanging on the wall . Before I could get a closer look she was there at the window with my order so I asked her about the painting and she replied" look lady I don't know I just work here" . So I decided to take a closer look at it. In this painting were several different people along with the history behind Smoothie King and its founder. As I was reading I realized the founding father was one of the people in this painting. Needless to say it was not only a beautiful painting but very interesting to read about the history behind Smoothie King. Overall the large smoothie was really big and it was good. Avocado toast good and filling Service not so good. Price $$$ Atmosphere needs more seating Menu and side treats great selection
