Switchback Coffee Roasters, Hillside

I LOVED their avocado toast, so flavorful and filling and as a vegetarian I really appreciated their options…until recently. Avocado toast is gone and they only have 4 grab-n-go options plus pastries. The veggie grab-n-go sandwich was bland, dry and spicy; I didn’t even eat half of it. The chai latte tasted weird, like soap, and I didn’t finish that either. The danish was good, service is always good, and my friend liked her coffee, but I was super bummed.

This is a meeting spot of choice for me because it is located at an easy place to get to. It also offers easy parking and a nice quiet environment where you can talk to people. I love the natural light they have coming from the big windows. There is plenty of seating whether you want to be next to a window, or tucked in a more private corner. In the winter months my only complaint would be that it can smell really strong of bacon or whatever is being cooked inside, which I am not a fan of if I have a meeting before heading to work. Super personal preference but I don’t like smelling of food all day. In the warmer season, however, the windows open and make for a fantastic, breezy cafe you can just spend all day at! They have outdoor seating in the warmer months too, which is also very pleasant as you’re surrounded by mature trees. In some ways it reminds me of European settings in bigger cities. The menu looks great, with great options for any taste. There never seems to be a shortage of customers who order breakfast. My go-to is their vanilla late which always comes looking and tasting beautiful. The staff is very friendly, always smiling. Great place to sit for a few hours of work or to meet with friends and/or colleagues!

Cutest little coffee shop! Came here with one of my girlfriends to catch up and we had a great experience. Both ordered the special and enjoyed. Service was great, the two ladies working were so sweet. Do wish they had more syrup variety as flavors are a tad limited but great nonetheless.

One of the top coffee places in Colorado Springs. The weather was nice so we sit at the outdoor seating area. Breakfast sandwich and the yogurt with granola was refreshing as well. Pour over was fruity, sweet, and delicious. Green tea and hibiscus tea were great too. Will surely go back to visit.

Such an amazing coffee shop! Found my new favorite! Extremely knowledgeable and tons of gluten free options!

Located in a quiet neighborhood, Switchback Coffee Roasters has a modern feel in a historic neighborhood. Good for small groups or as a single customer. Friendly service with good food at competitive pricing on the menu.

the selection of choices for both food and drink make this place worth while. their lattes come with beautiful designs and you can tell that the people that work here love what they do and try to put effort into their jobs. the girls that were working at the counter were really nice and made conversation with me as i ordered. the prices are on the expensive end. my latte without syrup and with regular milk cost 4.87. it’s in such a nice and quiet place tho, with an elementary school by (great parking). i love how this place is not too busy and very chill for working and studying. they have a couch, tables, wooden booths, and outside seating. their decor is really pretty, simple, and modern. the music is right down my alley and not too loud so that you can concentrate. it’s a medium sized coffee shop (from the ones i’ve been to), with perfect amount of seating and room to order. they’ve got delicious pastries and food options, that are pretty presentation wise. it took them longer to bring out my latte than other coffee shops. i didn’t mind tho, it wasn’t abnormally long. the latte itself had a great foam on top. usually foam is pretty frothy and bubbly, but they made it thick and creamy (in a good way) without making you burp if that makes sense 😅. the taste wasn’t really special tho. it tasted like a normal latte and for the price ig i was expecting something more exceptional. their lighting is nice and bright too. this place is next to downtown so it’s perfect for grabbing a coffee and walking around. it’s in such a cute neighborhood too with great big oaks and calm people.

The coffee tastes very good. The shop is cute. I like it here.
