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. As we walked in, we really loved the vibe of the place and the great smells coming from the kitchen and the coffee bar. I ordered a green chili cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and a Coronado. Absolutely amazing! The staff was so cool and friendly. I could easily spend and hour or so just soaking up the atmosphere. 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

Wow, so impressed with this spot. While incredibly busy (Line was out the door), it felt indicative of something worth experiencing. 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. While quirky and unique, you can tell this is a local favorite. 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

Pretty good coffee. I had an almond milk latte and enjoyed it. It's a great place to sit and hang out for a while, fun decorations, good seating options, and it was quiet enough to have a conversation. I also liked that you could see the kitchen making the bagels and things in the back. I saw that they do have gluten free bagels. read more

Grabbed a caramel pistachio latte and bread pudding. It was so delicious and they warmed up the bread pudding for me. My friend got a lavender latte which was also delicious. The service is fast and friendly. The decor is cute and welcoming. 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. Cute place. read more

Definitely a popular spot, around lunch it's packed with the Manitou high schoolers. 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. Cute place though it was definitely charming. I would go back, and i recommend this spot if you're a breakfast bagel person! read more

What a fantastic breakfast/coffee spot! Amazing bagel sandwiches and fresh baked pastries. If I go back, I'll try the breakfast burrito. I had the Larry David open-faced bagel with lox, it was delicious, came with plenty of pickled red onion and tomatoes. We got one of each fresh donut, I LOVED the pistachio rose one best. My cappuccino was great. My husband had a different bagel sammie, looked amazing. Portions were great, we couldn't finish everything. Highly recommend! read more

Matcha latte was amazing, comes unsweetened but you can customize it. Plenty of seats inside and some outside. Only down side is they forgot to add our blue cold foam on our cold drink, but they were busy so we didn't mention it. read more

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

Cute coffee shop in the heart of Manitou Springs. 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 They do not have WiFi, which was the only disappointment. read more

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

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

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

Service was amazing. Food was great. Overall vibe inside was perfect. This place is a great breakfast spot to hit in Manitou spring especially if you wanted to get some work done.

Delicious, fresh bagels, great environment, and kind staff. There was a line when we went, but the food came out quickly given how busy it was. We ordered the farmhouse bagel, sunrise bahn mi bagel, black coffee, a latte with house-made brown sugar cinnamon, a confetti sprinkle donut, and a berries and cream baked good (not pictured). Everything was extremely delicious. Great find, highly recommend. read more

Awesome breakfast or lunch option in Manitou Springs. it was pretty bustling on a weekday, and there is a fair amount of seating inside and a couple outside tables. 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

Such a cute environment and staff was super friendly. I got a coffee and two bagels. They hand roll the bagels daily and you can tell! They are the perfect texture and had lots of toppings which I loved. Both were listed on their specials and were incredible. Loved all the dogs that came in too! You can tell it's a crowd favorite! We will be back for sure 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

Delicious everything bagels! The service was fairly quick, although it is mostly a self service cafe. The interior is cute and psychedelic, and pretty clean. I had the lox bagel sandwich and my partner got the "Larry David", both were great. The matcha with lavender was very good, and the strawberry shortcake oat milk latte special was solid. Would definitely recommend! read more

The Loft continues to serve the most immaculate vibes, coffee, and baked goods!!! I was the first person to come in at their opening time of 8am. I only stayed for 5 minutes, but the amount of joy I felt within that time exceeded more than I have ever felt in a public space!! read more

This is personally my favorite spot in Manitou. It's consistently amazing. Highly recommend their dirty chai, I've had a lot from different places and The Loft is by far the best. Love the new location, I've been trying to make it down from Peyton for a while, and it was relatively busy for a Thursday morning! Great place to meet new friends, or have a family gathering. Baristas are very friendly as well. 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. Their service was top notch and they were so friendly. read more

Came here on a Sunday at 9 (1 hour after opening) they barely had any donuts out (despite the spreads they post on instagram) It took a very long time to get our order and the food was not good. Bagels had no flavor. I could not taste the extra cheddar cheese. This place was really disappointing, I had been following them for a while and made sure to go early to get pastries. Staff was very cold, maybe not having a good day that day. There are signs everywhere saying (bus your own table - we are closing early - wait for your food it'll take a while) yadda yadda yadda read more

Super excited that Yelp recommended this Loft Espresso to me. The Loft Espresso is super cute and fun coffee place where you can grab your cold/ hot drinks, breakfast, lunch, and your snacks from 8-4 daily! I like everything about this Loft Espresso. The seating can be indoor or out door. There are many cool art display in the wall. The servers are friendly and nice. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito and sandwiches to go if you are up for the Cog train ride. This place made our breakfast/ lunch such an easy meal on the run. The coffee is also tasty. The pastries look delicious but I were not allowed to have sweet! You must try them as I bet they are yummy. read more

True Story! I lived in Brooklyn for 10 years and I had some of the best bagels I've ever had in my life until today. Someone offered me one this morning and it truly was the most amazing piece of bread I've ever had in my life loaded with cheese, jalapeños, and there was so much love and flavors in this bagel I found myself in some sort of strange and wonderful awe and THEN I found out they were from our very own Loft in Manitou Springs! All I can say is if you live around here you better get you some ( if you haven't already) and if you're not from here, I would call them and see about getting them freeze dried and shipped because they definitely put New York bagels to the test! Ah, Magnificent Manitou and of course, The Loft! read more

Excellent Service, kind, helpful, attentive. The food was delicious, we had a breakfast burrito and the avocado toast. The whole reason you come to a good "coffee" place is for the coffee.

This place was excellent and had very good drinks. They're a little pricy, but what I think is probably standard for fancy coffee house drinks. I had the cookies and cream cold brew and my brother had the hazelnut rose matcha latte. I liked his drink wayyyy better but both were very good! It's a cute little vibe and has limited seating area but good outdoor seating. I didn't get any food, but I'd def be back! read more
