Crema's Take
“Reception is a stunningly designed café that blends coffee excellence with elevated cocktails and thoughtfully crafted food, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming space perfect for lingering conversations or solo work. The baristas demonstrate serious craft with their milk steaming and espresso skills, while the team's genuine warmth and attention to detail elevates every interaction, making it feel less like a transaction and more like being welcomed into a carefully curated retreat. Whether you're there for their signature drinks like the build-your-own espresso martini, the legendary truffle fries and champagne pairing, or simply to experience Colorado Springs' best-kept secret, Reception delivers the kind of thoughtful hospitality and high-quality execution that keeps people coming back.”

This is our new favorite coffee shop. The decor is beautifully curated, the vibe is great, and the baristas are exceptional; we are always on the watch for drinks that have amazing milk steaming, and the baristas hit it out of the park every time. Consistency and flavors are exceptional. We also love that it's relatively quiet -- we can hear each other over the music -- the chairs are comfortable, the tables are a great size for holding conversations. Cannot recommend the space highly enough. Amazing work Reception!
Had the most amazing time at Reception! Great selection of food and drinks. The staff is so kind and caring. The atmosphere is cozy, chill, and classy. The food is immaculate, the chef couldn’t have done better. So happy to have an awesome place like this in Colorado Springs. Whoever is managing this place is doing an amazing job!
Had such an amazing time here! Went with some friends for cocktails and a snack. I got the whiskey sour and my friends got the Aviator and a martini. All were amazing drinks! We shared the truffle fried which were also delicious. But what stands out about this place is their service. They are so hospitable and kind. They even gave us an on-the-house hors d’oeuvre! Make you feel like they’re besties by the time you leave! Wonderful vibes & atmosphere as well.
Hidden gem that can’t be missed! Incredible flavors, elevated cocktails, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re transported to a NYC high rise bar. So much care and attention to detail has gone into this menu. You will not be disappointed!
The Reception Ritual(truffle fries and a glass of champagne) is one of the best happy hour deals in Colorado Springs! Also the build your own espresso martini is truly unique and is fun to try different combinations. The staff is amazing and the service is next level. A great space for friends and family to connect over amazing drinks, food, and service!
