Crema's Take

Nestled in Manitou Springs, The Maté Factor is a gem that takes equal pride in its artisanal matté drinks and surprisingly exceptional homemade food—think house-made vegan patties, fresh salmon sandwiches, and seasonal soups that locals rave have some of the best quality in Colorado. The warm, family-friendly vibe paired with genuinely friendly staff creates the kind of place where regulars keep coming back for over a decade, and first-time visitors immediately understand why this cozy café punches so far above typical coffee shop fare.

They have a vegan burger. The patty is home made. It’s called a veggie burger but the ingredients are all vegan. Their root beer is great and so is the strawberry jam. Very friendly staff. The wait was short too.

This cafe is such a GEM! We tried out their salmon sandwich (do not remember the name), strawberry banana smoothie, and butternut squash soup of the day. It was ALL DIVINE!! The ingredients they use are simple and fresh. We also purchased Yate Mate to try out at home. Dont knock the fish sandwich until you try it because we are dreaming of the flavors 😍 Full transparency: we had a medical emergency here due to altitude and the staff were incredibly kind.
