Wild Horses Cafe
178 Palmer Dr, Manitou Springs, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the foothills of Manitou Springs, this cozy cafe merges excellent specialty coffee with an enchanting setting complete with grazing horses and mountain views that feel like a reward after hiking. The kitchen takes creative risks—think lavender lattes and seasonal drinks like "Sweater Weather"—while the welcoming staff and gluten-free options make everyone feel at home, whether you're stopping by for an expertly crafted coffee or staying longer for pizza and conversation by the fireplace.”

Really can’t say enough positive things about this little hidden gem. As you approach the Cafe/ Pizza joint, you are surrounded by the most beautiful horses. As you enter the parking lot you are greeted by the sweetest and friendliest Labrador Retrievers.. Let’s talk about coffee. I ordered a Lavender Honey Shaken espresso that was phenomenal—they even had oat milk. The beans tasted bold but smooth and not burnt like your traditional Starbies latte. I took the advice of the Barista/ Cashier and went with the Marguerita personal pizza.. I was blown away, not expecting much from a little unknown place like this. Wow! The toppings were plentiful and the crust was just the right amount of crisp and doughy. Really happily surprised by this place. Did I mention the view!? Mountain View’s and Cabin like feel. I’m coming back and working from here sometime!
We stopped here after hiking around the Florissant Fossil Beds since it was only 10 minutes away. Hidden gem! Gorgeous mountain view, cozy atmosphere, and some incredible coffee. I got a lavender white mocha latte (I get this drink everywhere) and it's easily in the top three best I've ever had. They have a huge selection of flavors and a seasonal menu (my partner got the Spicy Mocha for Valentine's Day, which had mocha and cayenne pepper). To get into the restaurant, walk around the left side of the building, when you see signs for Caps Pizza and Wild Horses Cafe you're going the right way. The restaurant is downstairs on the right after you get into the building. Just follow the smell of pizza! Definitely stop by if you're in the area, it's so worth it.
Lovely cafe, beautiful atmosphere especially when they lit the huge fireplace. We were so happy to find gluten free options for my mother in law, she was so happy with her sandwich. We felt comfortable and welcome with our toddler, I cant wait to visit this place in the Summer time!
What a little gem of a coffee shop! Just in time for fall, I ordered the sweater weather and let me just say, absolutely top notch, better than the big coffee shops! What a gorgeous view of Pike’s Peak too, with lovely, quiet ambiance. Absolutely check this place out if you love coffee! I enjoyed it so much, I’m going to sport one of their super soft tanks!
Last minute pizza craving. Caps was about to close for the night but the staff assured us we were no burden and made us an amazing pizza! Thank you! Too boot, we were created with amazing views and rainbows.
