Switchback Coffee Roasters

You ever get a 19 sleep number on your bed...?!?! It took a real special sort of night. The type where you get home from work and fall into bed at 130a then get the worse food poisoning imaginable for several hours and your alarm goes off in the 5a hour to get up and hit LAX on the "busiest travel day of the year". That my friend is how you achieve a 19!That being said, by the time I flew to Denver, rented a car and drove to Colorado Springs I was in desperate need of a latte. I made it to Switchback by 230p before they closed on Sunday.I was only in town for 20 hours to celebrate my sons birthday and spend some time with him and if not for this pumpkin spice latte that brought me back to life I wouldn't have been able to get into celebration mode.I really do believe Switchback is the best coffee in town. Consistently outstanding at different locations. I'm so thankful they were open. Fantastic service. I sat there for a moment to enjoy my latte before driving to my son's place. If I lived nearby this would be my everyday coffee spot. Highly recommend.

My experience: underwhelming. The coffee was bitter like the attitude I encountered at the cash register. Not sure why. I am, however, certain this was my first (and last) visit to this business. Another employee seemed to try and compensate for their coworker's shortcomings and huffiness. At least there was that. When in Colorado Springs, I rarely venture east of Tejon and will not make the trip again.

This place surprised me. So many seating options at tables, the bar, outside, etc. Many different spaces for reading or talking or studying. Their avocado toast was amazing! Love that they had food options.

What a cute place for coffee in CO Springs!The design of the cafe was super cute and the barista was friendly and patient with us! Their menu is a little limited but the coffee and avocado toast and croissant were delicious! Def check them out!

Drip coffee was fantastic! They have an awesome mission to make a cup of coffee accessible to everyone. When you pay for your coffee, you have the options to pay what you can, the price of the coffee, or the price of the coffee plus a few cents more to pay forward. This kind of mission makes me want to come back.Sandwich was great! The English muffin was a little dense which is not my personal preference but it was tasty.Employees were super nice.Lots of seating and big windows. We had not been here in years and came to work today and will definitely be coming back.

Went to this cute little coffee spot today! The ordered the avocado toast and it delicious! The best part was the spicy green sauce it came with! I also ordered the matcha oat milk latte and it was great!Overall a cute spot and it's a good spot to work from to!

Great coffee. Good vibe. It's nested in a neighborhood. This place is always packed. They have vegan/gluten free baked goods

My first impression of this shop came from the decor and seating areas. There are plenty of seating options both inside and outside. Although the outside seating is on the street, it is enclosed in a way that feels safe without impeding the perks of being outside. The next thing I noticed and enjoyed was the friendly barista. She was friendly and provided great service by asking about my day. By the time my coffee came (Brown Sugar Latte), I was already sold on this shop. The latte is everything I except from well crafted lattes - smooth frothed milk, rich espresso, and the right amount of flavor from the syrup. All in all, I'd be all too happy to spend more days here.

If you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing café with calm, soothing energy, then this be the one. I only grabbed a quick coffee and bite to go but the environment with clean white walls and greenery strewn about was all the vibe. SO much seating inside and out, all with said calming energies. They have coffee and food and I did eye their bagels which they make fresh in-house everyday. WOW, it was clearly fresh and while not your typical NYC bagel with the chewiness that a boiled and baked process should produce, there's were big (in diameter) and tasty. Cream cheese was provided on the side and they warmed it up wrapped in some foil so as not to crisp it up too much. What a pleasant neighborhood café to divert to on the morning drive.

Service was quick and easy. The cortado is the best out of the other 5 coffee shops/roasters I've been to, in Colorado Springs so far. I've ordered cortados at other places, and they were sour and bitter. The cortado here was perfect without sourness, and you can taste all the notes of the beans. I didn't ask what the ice coffee was, but from the taste, I assume it was Ethiopian, as I taste notes of fruits. As well, the Avocado Toast is the best once I've ever had. That two fried eggs on it really mixed well with all of the ingredients. I got lost driving by as the shop is kind of camouflaged/blended in with most of the houses. The cafe was packed, but I was able to find a seat, and guests rotated in and out smoothly, so nobody is left waiting to find a table when I was here. It's a good relaxing vibe.
