Stopped in for lunch as the other restaurant we wanted to go to was packed. My friend wanted to give me a late birthday lunch, and we had been hanging out at the lake, so decided on this. My angus melt was made with fresh sourdough bread and delicious beef and onions. My friend's sliders were looking good with pastrami and sauerkraut. It was a tad expensive, I think $14 per sandwich, but it was loaded with fries and delicious!

WOW what a fantastic Cafe! After meeting a couple business associates at the Cafe a week before for a quick exchange I decided to see if what they told me was true! I asked how the burgers were and both of my friends said âAWESOME!â I had my doubts tho because the burgers in Monument tend to be VERY mediocre at best. A couple days later I took my wife to the Cafe for lunch and we both loved the food! We are pretty hard core Keto/ Carnivore diet folks so we ordered our burgers with no bun, mine with a side salad instead of fries! The Mushroom Burger was delicious and even had bacon along with the mushrooms & Swiss! Salad had some delectable little Peruvian peppers and a light but great dressing! Service was quick and friendly. A nice outdoor patio on a quaint small town street will be our next warm weather visit!!! AAA+++

Several times that we've gone in, we've talked with the owner! Great place, good service, Great stories! We've done samplers and a few cocktails. Usually end up bringing home a jar. Haven't eaten here. I think they have food trucks most of the time, but have just gone for drinks.Glad you enjoy stopping by, we try to have food trucks on the weekend, but it always varies on scheduling. If you use Facebook we try to update the Food truck under the events. Hope you can make it back again soon!

The menu is creative, upscale and changes often. The prices are quite a bit higher than most places in this town, so it seems to be more of a 'special occasion' restaurant. Wine by the glass is $10+, but they do have a great wine selection. Portions are smaller (typical of this type of place), but creative and beautifully plated. They have a beautiful outdoor patio which is great for happy hour and lunch. The indoor seating is in small rooms in an old house. Guests are mostly couples and small groups. Don't think I've ever seen children here in the evening.

I like the well drinks and sometimes the nightly specials are really good. Service really lacks here and I wish they could put some noise absorbers on the ceiling so it wasn't so loud in the bar. I live within walking distance and if it was quieter and the service was better I would go there weekly.

Largest breakfast servings I've seen in years. So delicious too!!! Although we were out of towners, the Coffee Cup Cafe seemed to be filled with locals. The food was outstanding and served with a smile. The positive energy and courtesy of the staff was palpable. Food was served piping hot and quickly.

Went to Texas Roadhouse in Monument CO this afternoon. Their free lunch for Vets special was in full swing and the place was packed. Still got seated quickly, great service and a great meal. Dennis Meyer, the Manager there, runs a tight ship! On the way in something caught my eye. Dennis and his crew had set up a "Missing Man" table - a special honor table traditionally set up in military dining facilities, during service balls and other military dining occasions. That's class. They also have parking set aside for Purple Heart recipients. I love this place. Very pro-military. Best Rib Eye in Colorado Springs.

Pike's Peak just changed up their menu, and it is so good. They still have their charcuterie plate, but they added some meat pies and some yummy brats. Salads that come with are amazing, or of course you can still have chips instead. The Adaman beer is amazing!! and of course we love the ambience. Perfect place for friends and family. LOVE it!!

We 'only' ate breakfast here during our stay, but it was an outstanding experience, with delicious, plentiful food and expert, attentive service. The dining room offers panoramic views over the golf course and we found it a perfect, relaxing way to start the day.
