The coffee flight and breakfast sandwich were so delicious! There were tons of allergen-free options: gluten free pastries & bread and dairy free creamer alternatives!

Plus, the vibes here are immaculate ✨

This place is a vibe!

The bread, cookies, and muffin display were eye candy to start the day, with so many options (including GF!). I went with the breakfast sandwich, which was cheesy and delicious.

Friendly staff, and you can’t beat a free refill on iced coffee! Bonus points for the roll-up doors that let in the open air and sunshine, creating the perfect combo to start your morning.

Nestled in a revamped exciting area of downtown Colorado Springs, this gem does not disappoint. The coffees are top notch (including the line up of zombie drinks), scratch friendly kitchen foods top notch (those empanadas and aioli sauce) and baked goods --it all slaps. Add in the decor and top level that overlooks the main street and restaurant -- yes please. Then the barista was sooo welcoming and informative. She was cranking out drinks but still did not seem stressed or overwhelmed..she just had the largest smile. I am definitely going back tomorrow.

Perfect spot. Great vibe. Nice people. Exceptional vegan breakfast options. Great lunch. The only bad thing is they close at 4 and I can only eat here twice a day.

Vegan scramble burrito: 11/10
Vegan green chile: 8/10 burrito better without it

Cluckless sandwich: 10/10 no notes
Fries: 7/10 decent, hand cut, seasoned a little, needs a sauce to dip.

Came here looking for coffee flights.. Place was extremely busy. There was a very long line but no signs or anything telling you where to go. Other patrons are not super friendly so they won’t tell you either. Had to stand in line and try to fight for a table to sit.. I don’t honestly know if you should find a table first or order first. It’s a bit of an anxiety attack either way lol.

Let’s start with the coffee flights themselves. They didn’t look like anyone else’s. Nothing like the pictures that are shown and posted. They were absolutely terrible. No flavor and not one was sweet. One was even watered down. & They were actually very bitter. Also there was nothing showing which coffee was which so we were drinking them blindly.

Food was hot and fresh. It’s not for everyone. Green chili is definitely different.. The bagel was good. They give you enough eggs which I liked!

The customer service here is kind of non existent. You order, you find your own table, you get your own drinks, you clean up your own mess and can’t ask for nothing as they are busy..

I wouldn’t recommend.

The Exchange has easily become my new favorite local spot! Plenty of vegan and GF options, which I love. Industrial interior vibes mixed with lots of plants and cozy spots to enjoy your food and tea/coffee, work on your computer, meet up for a cute date or hang with friends, or read a good book. The service is always amazing too

Amazing downtown coffee shop with huge selection of baked goods and other food to choose from. Large selection of loose leaf teas (my goto is the Boulder Breakfast) for the non coffee drinkers. Variety of seating options and a patio if its nice out. My goto place for a quick business meeting or to catch up with a friend. Several Vegan and Vegetarian options available.

Solid brunch spot where all the cool kids hang out. Food is extremely creative, with decent coffee options. Large baked treats selection as well as giving you an excellent location to chat with friends or pretend to work on the laptop. Parking is limited to street. Vegan options are delicious, although vegetarian specific options are lacking. No substitutions are allowed.
