The owner even gave us a free balaclava to try out after we finished eating, which was also delicious! Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed!

A nice little store in Manitou Springs with Turkish hand made things…read more The big thing here is custom made turkish mens & womens boots. The proprietor (who was a wrestling champ) will custom order them for you. They have supple leather and will last for many years. I had a similar pair from Crete--they lasted 25 years.

U-Haul scam - stay away!…read more I rented a box truck from this 3rd party U-Haul location in January 2024 (EZ Ship off Academy). After returning the truck, the shop manager charged an exorbitant "fuel" charge in the amount of $53. I drove less than 40 miles. I called the store manager to inquire about the fuel charge. Their response was that I should not have placed keys in the drop box, and that I should have physically entered the store to return the box truck. The manager then said that it was likely that another individual siphoned fuel from the truck after it was dropped of at the store. The manager said that I was responsible for someone siphoning fuel out of the truck while the truck was on the store's property, and after the truck had been locked with keys placed in the lockbox. After pleading my case the manager refused to offer a refund, citing a u-haul policy (which was not reviewed adequately during time of contract signing). This experience was extremely disappointing, stay away! Fuel charge will be disputed with CC company and complaint will be submitted to U-Haul.

So much so, we returned the next day to purchase the sweatshirt I was eyeing and I've hardly taken it off since! So many cute Colorado themed items like your typical souvenir trinkets-- magnets, socks, spice mixes, clothing, post cards, mugs... a little bit of everything!

All About Colorado is probably my favorite souvenir place that I visited in Downtown CO Springs…read more If rating souvenir shops on the scale of cheesy t-shirt shop to high end decor, AAC falls right in the middle. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. AAC is actually two shops in one. It looks like they may have been separate at one time, but are now connected. Both sides have similar items and similar helpful staff. Here are some of the items I liked: Hats: I love a good ball cap. They had several different styles. Shirts: There were a good variety of shirts that were Colorado themed or for specific local attractions. Their shirts were much cheaper than the ones for sale at the local attractions. Stickers: I love stickers. I bought several. There were some that seemed a tad ridiculous, but I am sure they sell plenty of weed themed stickers here. Weeeeeeeed maaaaaaan. Get a job hippy. Coffee Mugs: Even though I drink iced coffee, I love location specific mugs. They had mugs a plenty here. Kids books: Who hasn't read "Who Pooped in the Snow"? Actually, I have not and it made me regret that my kids don't like story time anymore. This store has way more than the items I listed. I think you will like it. I did.

While out supporting small businesses this past Saturday I found this total gem! We moved to the…read morearea in January and as you know, the world all but ended so we didn't get to do much exploring. Happier now that I have found a store that has everything I never knew I needed and so many things that would make awesome gifts for any occasion!! How many times do you get invited over to someone's house and not know what to bring? This store has it! They have cute novelty kitchen/home items as well as practical everyday items. We were looking for Christmas gifts for a few people that have everything but I'm pretty sure that one of them doesn't have a wine pour in the shape of a bird that sings (chirps) when you pour a glass of wine, so that happened! Currently, at the entrance they have a stand with hand sanitizer and masks! I love that they are taking things seriously. Fantastic store owned by a lovely couple with a great story!! Absolutely worth checking it out if not becoming a regular like I plan to!

I visited this store for the first time in December and absolutely loved all their clever gifts. If…read moreyou are looking for something quirky and hilarious, this is definitely the place to go. The store owner, Randy, was kind and helpful and obviously enjoyed his job. Unfortunately, a week later, I opened one of my purchases to discover that it didn't work. Since I live almost 2 hours away from Manitou Springs, returning it to the store wasn't an option. Randy immediately offered to refund my money and didn't need me to return the defective merchandise. And then, Randy endeared himself to me forever by offering to send me a new item (that he personally checked to ensure it worked properly) and mail it to me for free. Next time I'm in Manitou Springs, I will definitely stop by again.

This shop is uniquely curated with lots of interesting and lovely pieces. It's unlike any other store in Old Colorado City. This side of town needs a shop like this! It's successful in being interesting in a non-kitschy kind of way. Which, is a HUGE win for Old Colorado City! Bottom line, check this place out!

The three stars is for the cute, and unique items in the shop…read more The missing stars are because of the millennial they hired, and some of the items that are marked up to ridiculous prices. When we walked in, we were not greeted; the young, brown haired millennial at the register just sat there with her phone in her hand. Obviously it was more important than the customers. Several people walked in and out while we were there and she did not look up once to say hello or do anything. One couple wanted to buy some items but when they walked up to the cashier, they still weren't spoken to and the girl never looked up so they put the items back they wanted tp purchase and walked out. We wanted to purchase some items too - I really liked the cute succulent/cacti soap but didn't feel like dealing with the young lady at the register. We walked out too and were not given any type of greeting as we left like all the other stores did that we walked in to that day. I really hope they employee better employees that don't stay on their phones all day or else they will continue to lose business like they are.

They are Brighton brand & cost $179. I was told that they are "Guaranteed" if I had a problem, I could just bring them back.

She couldn't guarantee it tho! I spend SO MUCH MONEY in that store! It's not likely that I walk out of there without spending anywhere from $800-$1000. Needless to say, with customer service like this, it's no wonder why brick & mortar businesses are a thing of the past. What a shame.
