Aspen Leas Cafe - Colorado Springs

I had both the seasonal Maple Bourbon Honey Latte and the Butterscotch Latte from here. You have unique and complex latte syrups that I appreciate. Building III 's espresso is rich and smokey. All-in-all, they're making a fucking good latte. The atmosphere is simple, open and clean. The location is also great with many seats in the halls of the school. The only drawback is that I feel that this place is the hipster of all hipster coffee shops in the jumps. Depending on who you are, you like that absolutely. All power to you. But for us regular jeans and T-shirts, I think it feels... confuse. I guess I just don't understand what makes you clean your hair, but wear designer clothes. Or the guy with the laptop sticker who says controlling the rich and yet he is on a new model laptop, with an iPhone in the hand, while drinking a drink that was probably 't cheap. (I'll let the hypocrisy slide...he 's young and probably 't had Economics 101 still. Regardless of this, the Hipster vibe 't Building III's fault. But for some reason, they attract a certain group that feels less family-friendly in a row. I don't care. I always get to watch some good people and I think it's important to stay with all generations. But I wanted to mention this at least in my review: If you're looking for a trendy hang-out, that's the place. If you just want to have a casual coffee and not be surrounded by people who stick with technology with an interesting fashion feeling... I'd go somewhere else.

Excellent coffee, great service and a nice view. Definitely a nice spot to relax and enjoy a beverage.

Excellent cup of coffee and beautiful presentation. I had a seasonal flavor added to my Latte Maple bourbon honey. Really enjoyed my cup. My company was the best- ladies Galentines. The shop had flowers and chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines right in the hall by vendors. This is an old school converted to shops. Will visit here regularly.

I'd heard a ton about this shop and loved the innovation behind the location! Cool interior, but I felt as though they could have made the interior a little more homey than it was. Felt pretty industrial and cold, even though the furniture and stuff was cool. Good music levels and didnt echo too much though! Staff were super nice and helpful! Really enjoyed the conversation I had. Normally 5 stars are pretty easy for me to hand out, but I think this time I was a little too under-impressed with the espresso to do so. Maybe it was because the bar had been set so high by others? Unsure. And i will be back to try again cause I dont like to base opinions on 1 visit. But for this first visit my cortado's oat milk was not very hot and curdled in the espresso. Might have also been from the espresso being under-extracted, quite acidic, with a lemony aftertaste. Then the sparkling water that was served with it was flat. I still drank it, because I wont ever waste what Im given, but I expected better. Big part might have been because the shop closed within the hour, but at a specialty shop like this the quality should be maintained from open to close. Hoping this was a one-off and I'm excited to go back! Edit: The next visit was great. Met a friend for coffee and the Christmas Blend was a great change of pace for my morning. Bustling cafe and warm smiles!

The rosemary rooibos is heaven on earth. This place is my all time favorite place to hang out, relax, study, think, journal, take a moment... you'll love it too.
