5 stars (for a coffee spot). Came in early morning to grab coffees for a road trip. Specialty coffees -- I got two: a huckleberry and a coconut. Both go in my top 20 coffees of all time. The flavor profiles weren't too sweet but were plenty flavorful -- you could actually taste the coconut in one and the huckleberry in the other. Everything came together really nicely. It's a walk-up counter with some seating inside, though most of the tables were full when we came through. They have pastries and other things we didn't try. Service was quick and friendly, and the cost wasn't bad at all. If you're looking for specialty coffee in Manitou Springs, I'd hit up The Loft. Would recommend, and would return. read more

I had some friends visiting this weekend and after walking around manitou, we had some time to spare before going to the airport so we stopped for a little pick me up. I got a matcha latte and added pistachio to it - so good! They have many different flavors you can add to any drink that you choose so there's a lot of different variations you could do! We also got the bread pudding as a little treat. It was vegan - and I'm not a vegan but it was really good. They have other vegan options there which is nice for anyone with dietary restrictions. I thought I should note that I went here one time before and got a bagel sandwich which was super good! I forgot to take a picture that time but thought it was worth noting that they had good breakfast and bagels. I would definitely go back for breakfast when I'm in the area again! read more

I've walked by it a few times but never really noticed it before this past weekend. I was hanging out with my best friend and she chose The Loft for breakfast. We lined up with a few other locals, enjoying a beautiful morning together waiting for the doors to open. By the time it opened, there was 10 or 12 people excitedly waiting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As we walked in, we really loved the vibe of the place and the great smells coming from the kitchen and the coffee bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a green chili cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and a Coronado. Absolutely amazing! The staff was so cool and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I could easily spend and hour or so just soaking up the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wow, so impressed with this spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While incredibly busy (Line was out the door), it felt indicative of something worth experiencing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a drip coffee and an AMAZING rosemary sea salt bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was perfectly salty chewy and crispy. It was so good. I didn't know that Manitou had a spot like this, and I was so impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While quirky and unique, you can tell this is a local favorite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend getting a coffee and a breakfast bagel and walking down the street to the amazing coffee playground down the street. I can't wait to go back to The Loft! read more

Their green chili bagels are to die for! Love their speciality drinks--- among the most inventive I've had in the states. On weekends they sell out early so arrive early with an appetite. If you haven't been to Manitou springs, this is the most iconic bagel joint in town, easily worth the trek from Denver for the day trip. read more

Stopped by for a breakfast. Ordered pesto bagel . Wanted to try but in my opinion pesto just didn't go well with the rest of that sandwich. It was conflicting. Lemonade was excellent. Definitely homemade! Yum. Cappuccino was not to my liking, espresso was way too bitter . Tasted burnt . I couldn't drink it. Place is pretty overpriced imo. Service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a popular spot, around lunch it's packed with the Manitou high schoolers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can see why though, it's a pretty hearty and tasty sandwich. It's a bit pricey in my opinion but that's more towards the drinks. The coffee was extremely bitter too just not very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place though it was definitely charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go back, and i recommend this spot if you're a breakfast bagel person! read more

This place was a 100/10. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions since it was our first time there. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. I got a dirty chai and wow it was so good. The lemonades were also very refreshing. We ordered breakfast burritos and the turkey bacon bagel, every flavor was spot on. The burritos tasted homemade with love. I would love to visit again and try more of their menu.

As someone with Celiac, I haven't had a bagel out in years. I was super excited to see they offered them! It was very good. I also got one of their seasonal lattes that was super unique and delicious read more

The april showers drink was soooo goood. It was delish with a shot of espresso and perf for the drive to Golden.

Bagels were excellent. We stayed the night in this cute little town and before we visited Pikes Peak we stopped in at Loft. We had already had a drink so just opted for bagels and we got an assortment. They were so good and tasty and did not disappoint. The cool vibe of this coffee shop fit in with the area. The plants added a nice hippie touch and the array of seatung was just right. They offered coliring books and general books to browse or read for the children and adults. I would have loved to have stayed longer but we were onky here for a day. A must try if ever in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute coffee shop in the heart of Manitou Springs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their signature drinks are unique- I didn't know what a blueberry tiramisu birthday cake latte would taste like, but it was delicious. Surprisingly not overly sweet either. The bagel was one of the best I've had in the Springs- doesn't compare to an east coast bagel, but still really damn good [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do not have WiFi, which was the only disappointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Talked to a local who said Loft Espresso made their bagels fresh and glad we came in after our hike because it was delicious! The line was pretty much out the door with everyone enjoying drinks and food. Everyone working was kind and patient with plenty of good recommendations. The interior of the restaurant was unique and fun to explore. The food took a while due to how busy it was but I'm glad we got to enjoy the scene for a while. The food was worth the wait and they were already sold out of some of the flavors so come early if you can. read more

Loft espresso has a really fun ambience and the drinks are wonderful. I got a dirty chai and it was delicious. I subbed in oat milk for the milk and it was very balanced. I definitely could have hung out here longer although we got our coffee to go to walk around Manitou Springs. The weight wasn't too long for the drinks and overall a great experience. read more

The Loft - Blueberry Basil Donut. Excellent. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Awesome breakfast or lunch option in Manitou Springs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was pretty bustling on a weekday, and there is a fair amount of seating inside and a couple outside tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter - they'll call out your drinks, and bring your food to the table if you're eating there. they ask you to bus your own table on your way out, which was no problem. The menu is pretty varied, with mostly variations on bagel sandwiches, but lots of different topping options. They had about six flavors of bagel to choose from, some that were pretty basic (like everything and sesame) and some that were more unique like green chili cheddar and cracked pepper provolone. I got the sunrise bahn mi sandwich on a rosemary sea salt bagel. It was tasty although the provolone the sandwich felt a little bit unusual. I think it might've been better with cream cheese. Being from the East Coast, I have to say the bagel wasn't the same, but was still delicious. I also got an iced Americano That was pretty good. I would come back here! read more

What an adorable gem in Manitou! The Loft is cute, quaint, homey and delicious! We live in Denver and have stopped at several places in manitou over the years, but the loft is our favorite by far. First, it's a cute and funky atmosphere with lots of local art and eclectic pieces. Second, every staff member is incredibly kind and welcoming. Third, the food is amazing. I would 10/10 travel here from Denver just for this food. The bagels are supposed to be the best, but we got there about an hour and a half before closing, so they were out. (But honestly, I'm happy to know they are made FRESH, and the croissant was just as delicious. So this was not a problem at all!!) I tried the Larry David and it was flavorful and unique. My husband tried the classic breakfast sandwich and it was delicious as well! The highlight is the pastries. I had a blueberry lemon turnover, while my husband had a strawberry sugar donut. Both of these pastries were far better than many of the bakeries in Denver city center. We were blown away with everything we tried, and will be back again soon. read more

Walking into Loft Espresso you are met with a colorful, cozy atmosphere. There are lights, unique art and murals everywhere! The barista was super sweet and had some great recommendations. I ended up ordering a matcha latte with the house black raspberry syrup, and one of their blackberry turnovers (warmed). Everything was delicious! I think I lucked out with timing as it wasn't very busy inside. Definitely worth a stop if you're needing a refreshing drink walking in Manitou! read more

If you're looking for good coffee and breakfast this is the place to go. Located right off the Main Street. You will have to pay for parking about $3.25 for an hour unless you walk from the Hotel. This place has a small town vibe. The best bagels I have ever had. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Made fresh daily. We also tried the Avocado toast and that was just as good. Since we were in town for a few days I tried several of there coffees and they were excellent not to mention fairly priced. I recommend dining if you can.
