Crema's Take
“Story Coffee Company draws you in with a clean, minimalist aesthetic and baristas who genuinely care about both their craft and making you feel welcome—the kind of place where the owner's passion for sourcing quality beans translates into thoughtful flavor pairings that elevate even traditional espresso drinks. Whether you're settling in for hours with your laptop or stopping by for a pour-over before dawn, the relaxed vibe and attentive service make it equally suited for focused work sessions or lingering conversations with friends.”

The coffee was decent, not the best beans or flavor coffee, but they do a good job with their flavor pairings. The breakfast items are typical of a coffee shop, pre-bought baked goods and one or two items they put together from the fridge. I was there when they were busy, so hearing when my coffee was ready was not hard. They do bring out food items to you which is a nice touch. There are not a lot of actual tables to sit at, so on busy days be prepared to sit in the stadium bleachers and eat on your lap. Overall good experience and would go here again.
We had a great time here! Amazing service, loved the atmosphere and best of all the coffee and food. 10/10 totally recommend if you're around the area.
Love. Story. Love the clean sleek atmosphere. Love the baristas and their joy to chat and serve people with passion. Love their coffee and the care that the owner has for the beans he sources. Love love love their fun speciality drinks and pastries from Provision bakery! The whole building is doing great things to keep the character of OCC sprawling down Colorado Ave.
Story coffee was our main coffee place while we stayed in Colorado Springs. Mainly because they opened at 6 am and nobody else was open. The interior is clean and minimalistic. Their coffee, even the "darker" brew, was a little fruity/acidic for us. It wasn't bad, though. They also had parfait and other pastries we did not try. We had different baristas each time we visited but all friendly.

With a great in-house coffee shop, plenty of natural light, and thoughtfully designed spaces, it’s easy to settle in and get inspired. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of that signature Colorado charm — a little chic, a little modern, and totally laid-back. There’s plenty of space to work solo or collaborate, and if you need a break, you can browse the small local retail section, relax with a cup of tea, or step outside to take in the mountain air. It’s more than just a co-working space — it feels like a creative hub for the Manitou Springs community.
