“From the moment I stepped into The Loft, I knew I had stumbled onto something truly special. In all my travels it’s truly rare to find a place where every detail, from the warmth of the welcome to the last sip of coffee, feels so thoughtfully and lovingly curated. The service here has always been Impeccable. It’s not just professional, it’s personal. I remember stumbling into this humble establishment the first day I moved to Manitou. I had just completed my first run around town and needed a pick me up. Little did I know that I would fall in love with their dirty chai and homemade desserts. From my first step in the door till now, the staff remembered my name and the nuances of my favorite drinks. Not once have I ever felt rushed or overlooked… instead, Ive always been cared for in a way that makes me feel like I truly matter. That level of attention is rare and deeply appreciated. You can taste the commitment that the kitchen staff puts in every dish. Fresh ingredients, inventive yet comforting flavors, and enticing presentations keep me coming back to try every seasonal option. Whether you're after a hearty breakfast, a delicate pastry, or a soul satisfying lunch, this place delivers on all fronts, but I must reiterate that what really sets this cafe apart is the magic feeling the staff and owners curate. There’s a quiet magic here, a sense of belonging, of being known and seen. I’ve never felt more at home in a public space. It’s more than a meal or a coffee stop, it’s an experience I enjoy returning to again and again. Thank you all for creating such a place and for the consistent dedication and service to our community.”

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! I wanted to recreate a childhood memory for someone special who used to visit Pikes Peak Chocolate years ago, and Danielle went above and beyond to help me make that happen. She was friendly, quick to respond, and made the whole process easy — even adding a personal touch when shipping the order. The fudge arrived fast, beautifully packaged, and absolutely perfect. It’s rare to find that kind of care and heart behind a small business these days. Thank you again, Danielle and the Pikes Peak Chocolate team — you made someone’s week!”

“Such an amazing fun place!! The onion rings are the absolute best I’ve ever had! The portions are huge and the atmosphere was perfect! My dog got loved on by everyone who worked there! 🥰. We will definitely be back!!”

“Six of us went to Iron Springs for my friend’s birthday. We had a great dinner, and we were about to go upstairs to see the play, but then my friend got an emergency call and had to leave before the show. It was her birthday so we didn’t want to see the show without her so Dolores(one of the owners) was so sweet and caring and said that we could come back another night to watch the play. That was so thoughtful! The atmosphere was great. The staff were wonderful, and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!”

Staff is amazing and helpful,,, and yes they do allow doggy bags to bring leftovers home.”
