The Maté Factor

I'm familiar with the Maté Factor in Savannah so when I saw one in Manitou Spring I knew it was the perfect stop to grab a quick bite! The decor is eclectic and a bit unique with some indoor seating. Their breads and pastries are all made in-house. They have a much larger menu at this location. I love the build your own sandwich option. I went with the chipotle chicken with cheese on an onion bun. It came with kettle chips and a crunchy pickle spear. I also got a large mango mate, which is one of my absolute favorite drinks! There's a handful of chairs outside that allow you to soak up the sun or relax in the shade.

My friends and I came down from Pike Peak cog railway and it's our first time visit this town. We were hungry after the train ride and spotted this cafe after getting off the shuttle bus. The cafe is not big but the vibe is very cozy. There's no waiter coming to serve you. You can go straight to the counter to place your order and the food will be served to your table. I ordered chicken sandwich which contains avocado and tomato. It tastes fairly good.

Chipotle Chicken Sandwich could have been really good except it was smothered in the chipotle mayo, so much so, it was almost inedible. Wife had a chef salad with the house vinaigrette and she really enjoyed it. Tiny and quaint little place, with great service.

This a nicely decorated place with minimal indoor seating. Smoothies are pricey but good. Our sandwiches were quite good and worth the price. I had a turkey pesto and it was delicious. You order at the counter and our food and drinks came quickly.

Fantastic variety and service. Easy to order. Friendly staff. Replaced and comfortable interior

Super cute cafe. Friendly staff. Great cabin style decor. My chicken pesto sandwich was very tasty. The orange soda is so good! So is the root beer!

We didn't try the food but got their mate drink to go. It's refreshing, not too sweet, and a nice thirst quencher to enjoy outside overlooking the stream. It's about $3.75/cup and again is reasonably priced considering it's located on the Main Street in a tourist town.

This was my son's favorite restaurant in Manitou. The ambiance is warm and cozy with cute murals and lots of wood and leather. Very homey! We had a salad, grilled cheese and potato chowder- satisfying and hearty!

My favorite spot in Manitou! Been going since I was a teenager: having mate and this cute place warm my little heart over a span of 20 years!!!

This place is a cult, the sandwich was pretty bad with salsa that appeared to be made with ketchup. Food took forever as well.
