This is my absolute favorite spot to go with friends. The park is free & doesn’t tend to get too overcrowded outside of tourist season & certain busier hours. I have found later in the day is the best time to go if you’re looking for a chill ...
Garden of the Gods
Beautiful park in southwestern Colorado Springs! Has hiking trails, a large dog park, and a massive grass field for various activities. Also has a playground, seating area for birthdays/events, and a pickleball court. Open 5am-9pm.
Bear Creek Regional Park - El Paso County Parks and Recreation
One of my favorite short, easy hike spots! The beginning of the hike is fairly level, walking up a winding trail before getting gradually steeper. Takes you to the top, revealing a beautiful view of Colorado Springs.
Hike Pulpit Rock - Colorado Springs

This is a location with multiple restaurants inside. All are delicious, but specifically Denver Biscuit Company. They are open for breakfast/brunch, before closing in the early afternoon to server Atomic Cowboy & Fat Sully’s. The biscuit sandwich...
Atomic Cowboy home of Denver Biscuit Co & Fat Sully's NY Pizza
Small sandwich shop in southwestern Colorado Springs. They also offer coney’s, which are arguably some of the best in the Springs. They close early, so get there before lunch is over!
Colonel Mustard's Sandwich Emporium
There are 2 different locations in the Springs, including on 21st and in Manitou Springs. The 21st street location is larger, and offers a bigger selection.
Patsy's Candies
Absolute favorite spot for crepes in the Springs! They have both sweet & savory, and also offer coffee & espresso drinks.
Paris Crepe - Colorado Springs, CO
These aren’t your typical donuts, they’re 109 layer cronuts!
Dad's Donuts
Best breakfast sandwiches, the eggs are SUPER fluffy! The cafe is in Manitou Springs, right outside of Colorado Springs. Definitely try some of their mate & a carob chip cookie while you’re there.
The Maté Factor Café
My fav boba spot in the Springs! So many different options and cute snacks at the counter.
Sharetea Colorado Springs
Best spot for cookies! More affordable, and better tasting than Crumbl, and open very late.
Insomnia Cookies
Delicious bakery offering Mexican pastries and fresh baked bread! It gets pretty busy in the morning, so get there early to grab the best selection.
La Concha Bakery & Coffee
