Crema's Take
“Tucked in charming Manitou Springs, this cozy brunch spot wins hearts with hearty, well-executed breakfast dishes like their legendary Mountain Man Hash and fried chicken and waffles that keep locals coming back. The warm, welcoming atmosphere feels especially perfect on cold mornings, and whether you're settling in with a laptop or gathering friends for a leisurely meal, the friendly service and solid coffee drinks make it a genuine community gathering place rather than just another café.”

Went in for a birthday brunch today. Spent close to $100 on one sangria, one starter, and two entrées. While the food came out in a timely manner, it lacked flavor and overall did not taste good. My husband and I left with over half our meal not touched. Really disappointed and the service was very lacking.
Went here for breakfast twice over the last two weeks, they are a great spot and the food is exceptionally hearty, healthy, filling and reasonably priced. Fried chicken and waffles is very well done along with the shrimp and grits. Excellent coffee and their juice was extremely refreshing. Would recommend getting there early for breakfast as it starts filling up after 830. Parking is always available on the streets. Highly recommended as the staff is very friendly.
My husband gave the greatest compliment he's ever given: I'd still eat this even if it had hair in it, I want the other half back (we split the Mountain Man Hash). Food was delicious, no complaints. Service was excellent. Silas T provided great recommendations and offered to divide the dish in the back before it was brought out. The crew was steadily moving to provide great service. Generous portions, we saw a lot of left over food cleared from tables. Only downside the drip coffee doesn't have free refills. Look forward to going back and trying other dishes.
Had Salmon and Prociutto Benedicts,Feta and Watermelon Salad, Grilled Cheese, and Biscuits and Gravy. Food was fantastic, wish we lived nearby! Tea service, cocktails, and coffee drinks were all on point.
We had the most wonderful breakfast experience at Garden of the Gods Market & Cafe. From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right for a cold, snowy morning. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and sitting next to the fireplace made it especially perfect. The food was absolutely amazing – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was comforting and delicious, exactly what you want on a winter morning. Our waitress truly made the experience even better. She was friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive, providing genuinely excellent service and making us feel so welcome. This is one of those places that gets everything right – food, service, and atmosphere. A perfect spot for a slow, cozy breakfast, and one we will happily return to again and again.
