Kawa Coffee
2427 N Union Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO
Crema's Take
“This beloved mom-and-pop spot near UCCS crafts their own syrups and partners with local High Rise Coffee Roasters to deliver espresso drinks that punch above their weight—think perfectly executed flat whites and creative signature drinks like the Laura Palmer (a bright coffee-lemonade hybrid). The cozy, college-adjacent atmosphere and genuinely warm service from staff like Jonathan make it the kind of place where you'll linger over a homemade pastry or breakfast bagel, even if the food leans casual. It's the rare coffee shop that nails both the beverage craft and the human touch that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great little mom & pop coffee shop. They make most of their own syrups and I believe they use locally roasted beans from High Rise Coffee Roasters (in OCC). Pictured is a Toffee latte with cinnamon
The food was okay, mainly just premade and microwave it seemed like. Drinks were amazing, music was wonderful, and the customer service was amazing! They seem to have a great atmosphere other than the fact that the place is small. I came to work here a couple days this week, and…
Coffee was ok. Ordered a flat white but it tasted a bit burnt. Cool spot with a college vibe since it’s so close to UCCS. They have heaps of food options as well.
Jonathan was so kind and helpful, sharing with us everything they offer! Kawa Coffee has such a warm, cozy ambiance. I will definitely be back :)
Love Love this small, small very cute atmosphere. My breakfast bagel was amazing the bagels alone are great taste. I also had a Luara Palmer its a lemonade with coffee super good. The chi coffee was great as well. Definitely will come back.
