The Sluice
2752 W Colorado Ave, Manitou Springs, CO
Crema's Take
“Nestled within a vibrant creative hub in Manitou Springs, The Sluice is where specialty espresso meets artistic community—a place where you can sink into an expertly crafted drink while surrounded by local designers, painters, and fellow creatives. The welcoming staff and thoughtfully designed space make it equally suited for a focused work session or a leisurely afternoon of conversation, and the building's architectural character only adds to the sense that you're part of something special. It's the kind of coffee shop that feels less like a transaction and more like a gathering place for people who actually care about both their coffee and their surroundings.”

The drinks were delicious and very relaxing and the environment was super chill!
The Sluice is a huge part of making OCC a sprawling, fabulous place to stay all day long. Love the architectural creativity and how many businesses and artists get to be housed in one building. Love the work that the Sluice architects have done all across Colorado Springs and I am thankful for the way they are adding value with creative spaces to the city.
This business strip is one of my favorites, offering a diverse variety of services. Our personal favorite is Story coffee. The owner is amazing and the staff is extremely welcoming
My daughter and I favorite place to hang out. Read. And paint. The atmosphere is awesome
This a great place for creatives or anyone who wants to be around awesome people. There are fantastic artists and designers here, and of course a stellar coffee shop.
