Crema's Take

“Tucked into Manitou Springs with mountain views that feel almost European, Cafe Leo is a Norwegian-owned gem where everything from the legendary Norwegian sweet buns to the melt-in-your-mouth pastries and carrot cake is made fresh daily. The baristas here treat every customer like an old friend, greeting folks with genuine warmth and crafting thoughtful espresso drinks that keep people coming back, making it the kind of place where lingering over coffee feels like the whole point.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
