Susie's Westside Café
1686 21st St, Manitou Springs, CO
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Manitou Springs, this cozy neighborhood café wins hearts with its made-from-scratch breakfast classics—think towering pancakes that taste like cake and homemade biscuits served alongside perfectly executed eggs—making it worth planning your Friday morning around for their legendary cinnamon rolls that sell out fast. The laid-back, family-friendly vibe and warm service create the kind of place where you linger over coffee and conversation, though portions run rich and prices reflect the quality ingredients and care that goes into each plate.”

What a delightful little place, lovely place to enjoy a delicious meal. Great menu, and great service. A good friend/neighbor took me there for my first visit, now I am truly recommending that YOU, go there for a great, enjoyable visit and relish a fine meal deliciously prepared to order for you, trust me, you'll love it. Don't judge the place by its outward appearance or a drive-by, go in and eat, you'll be glad you did 😌
Would probably do 3.5 stars, but this place is better than a 3 for sure. We came for cinnamon rolls, but learned they only do that on Fridays and they sell out quickly. But the breakfast was decent. The coffee was some of the best restaurant coffee we've tried. However, the food is tough to rate. It was either REALLY good or kind of meh. The Benedict was amazing, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The hash browns were okay, id try the home fries next time. The omelet was alright, just needed a splash of hot sauce. We would not recommend the green chili as its kind of bland, does not really have a chili taste. But then the bacon and biscuit were amazing again! Overall this is a cozy restaurant with good food.
Breakfast was good but a little over priced for the portion. Service was decent but I had to ask for a refill on my glass of water after trying to wave down the server for a few minutes. I would go back.
First time in, cute little place with HUGE PANCAKES!! The vibe was chill. Food was hot and fresh! Place was clean. I’d definitely come again!
This was a wonderful choice! The food was spot on! The biscuits were homemade! The pancake was perfect, tasted like a cake and they served warm syrup.. my egg was over medium and it was the best I ever had made, hats off to the cooks! We were seated right away and served drinks right away. The owner was serving too! She was sooo welcoming. I couldn’t same enough about how great this experience was.. I highly recommend this spot.. See y’all next time. Maybe in 6months Suzie. Thank you for such a great experience..
