Crema's Take

Tucked away on Colorado Avenue in Manitou Springs, this intimate café has earned serious devotion for its creative signature drinks like the Orange Cinnamon Cappuccino and thoughtfully crafted pastries, especially their celebrated homemade biscuits that double as the foundation for breakfast sandwiches and garden-filled creations. The care extends beyond coffee to kombucha, pour-overs, and a full breakfast menu that accommodates vegetarians beautifully, making it the kind of hidden gem where regulars keep coming back and first-time visitors become fans immediately.

I had the pleasure finding this hidden gem, it's a small Cafe on the Westside of Co. Springs. I tired the Colorado breakfast burrito, and the Old fashioned latte, both were very good. Now a regular, I often enjoy their old fashioned latte and the Colorado breakfast burrito when I visit. All the staff there are wonderful, a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Cute, tucked away hidden gem right in the heart of OCC. Be careful you might miss it stilling along Colorado Ave. Kumbucha tea was some of the best I have had. The homemade vegan chocolate orange biscotti was fantastic. The heavy smell of coffee was divine, and I am not a coffee drinker. A quiet place to sit and chat, read a book, or meet a friend.

Had a great experience getting a latte and garden biscuit here. The garden biscuit was outstanding. It wasn't too soft so it stayed together well. I never would have thought to put sweet potatoe in an egg sandwich but everything work well together. The staff was courteous and quick. The overall atmosphere was calm and cozy. It did feel a little full while I was there but that is just the nature of a small shop doing things so well. This would be my first pick for breakfast if you are in this party of town.

The breakfast sandwiches here are absolutely delicious especially their homemade biscuits! We tried the Garden Biscuit and it was fantastic. I also had the Orange Cinnamon Cappuccino wow such a unique flavor and it was amazing. The environment is warm and cozy, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. They also have outdoor seating for dog owners which is a plus. Definitely a hidden gem worth visiting!

We visited Colorado Springs last weekend and stopped by Carnelian Coffee for coffee and lunch. The foods were amazing! Our group had a couple of vegetarians, so we ordered vegan foods and we all agreed the food was excellent. Highly recommended.
