The Loft

My partner and I love coming here for breakfast on our weekend! The bagels are delicious, and I love the sweet treat options they have.

If you look up 'cozy American coffee shop' this should be epitome of that definition. We we're visiting from North Carolina over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we were fortunate enough to have breakfast here one morning. I got the Lucy in the Sky bagel and it was simply amazing. I've recreated it a few times at home, but it's not as good without the cozy cafe atmosphere. Everyone in our party, three generations including children, loved their food. I also loved that it was dog friendly. In Europe everything is dog friendly but in the US we are so snooty about sanitation laws that it's refreshing to see girl's best friend sitting at the table beside us. 😃

An absolute treasure to Manitou. Best spot for coffee, bites, conversation… with the most lovely staff and owner. I left wanting to come back every day and I’d be envious to be a local nearby! Come early on Sundays for the most variety of bagels to choose from. The local favorites and staff recommendations on the menu are all reliable! 💡 make sure to take a peak at the Manitou incline surveyor - that Plössl 55mm eyepiece gives you quite the high resolution view!!! 🤓

All staff was super friendly and chill. The atmosphere is great for groups, pairs, or singles to eat. I had a gluten free jalapeño cheddar bagel sandwich and it was so good. I’m thrilled to report they did not use canyon bakehouse bagels which I find are often stale and gross. The GF bagel I had here had great texture and didn’t crumble apart when eating. This will be a staple everytime I’m in or around Manitou now.

Truly enjoyed our visit as the Bagels are NYC quality+ and my Dirty Chai Latte the very best I've ever had. A really comfortable vibe with a friendly and professional staff. Katie & Justin, a well deserves bravo on your "baby!"
