On a Wednesday morning it was not very crowded. The mushroom & spinach omelette was excellent. Has very Interesting and delicious cold brew coffees. Very nice “country decor” to match the Black Forest community. Very nice staff and owner. Everything is self serve except delivery of cooked items to table. The automated ordering system is a bit inconvenient. A bit expensive at $33 for 2 omelettes, 1 coffee and 1 cold brew, but typical now of most breakfast places. Highly recommend.

Very unique place! Love the atmosphere and the food and coffee. The staff was nice especially since we spilled our drink and they were on top of it. They even remade the drink for us. Appreciate you guys!

Tasty food! Liked the atmosphere. Recommended by family for their crepes! streamlined ordering process, online and had delivery to the table. Almost didnt come here because of recent bad reviews, but thought wed give it a try. Saturday 10am sat down right away and had our food in about 20-25 minutes.

I was in charge of providing a birthday surprise for one of my co-workers today. His favorite food is cinnamon rolls. I reached out to a FB group and heard about R&R Coffee and Cafe so I messaged them. The owner got back to me quickly and was willing to throw together a batch for me to pick up early in the morning on my way to work. When I arrived, the service was friendly and fast. My cinnamon rolls were hat and waiting, and I was able to still make it to work early.I am kicking myself for not having taken a photo. They were huge, so buttery, sweet and perfectly cooked with a little crispy-ness on top and nothing but moist deliciousness the rest of the way through. The cream cheese frosting was to die for. 10 out of 10 I’ll order again!Thank you R&R for going the extra mile to earn a new and loyal customer! I’ll recommend you to everyone I can!

Ryan had the best coffee around, hands down. Weve been customers since he started and love to see everyone else supporting this great local business.

We visited R&R for the first time today. It was delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich and a cinnamon roll! Both highly recommended! Really cool place. Definitely coming back.

Super good coffee, I got the breakfast panini which was AMAZING. The people are super nice and food is super tasty. Definitely going to come more often.

They usually do a great espresso drink, roast has a good flavour profile. Definitely worth a stop in, plus their food is fresh and tasty. However, should note that they only have QR code menus - good system, order for your table and pay is all online. Cool

What a FUN place! The staff was great and the food and drinks were so delicious! Mammoth muffins and you’ve got to try the BLT Crepe! **update - came back for a visit and had the pulled pork burrito and the pork was delicious.

The food is always fresh and delicious. It is not to be missed for breakfast! I love that they have gluten free pancakes, and gluten free pastries. I also love that they source locally as much as possible! They have a lot of unique coffee concoctions that are worth trying. I highly recommend a visit. Make sure to check out the mural in the dining room while you are there!

Great coffee! Options for any taste, even crazy 10 shot drinks. Friendly country atmosphere with friendly staff. Went for breakfast and really enjoyed it, good sized portions. Careful ordering the cinnamon rolls and burrito. Parking a somewhat limited.

Pretty nice coffee shop coffee wasnt quite strong as I like it my nieces got a cappuccino and a latte and said they were pretty good. They also ate a sticky bun and were happy that it was warmed up

Been to R&R twice now and both times have been amazing. The coffee is top notch and unexpected at this quiet coffee shop in the woods. Food is executive chef quality, coffee selection is very robust, and the baristas are very talented. The owner Ryan is beyond friendly and makes you feel like family.

Great customer service! Indoor and outdoor seating. Huge coffee bar and coffee selection. Delicious food. Definitely a must try. Will be back when we visit Colorado again!

We went to R&R today in the morning with a few ladies to have some coffee. Arriving shortly after 7 am, I wanted to run inside to grab a cup of coffee, but those ladies who already came earlier and were sitting outside, said, that the employee asked to place an order online. Majority of the ladies in our group were in their 50s-60s, some older and it was not an easy task to do it with all kinds of difficulties on the electronic devices. Eventually those 6-7 ladies each ordered a drink and 2-3 of them ordered small toasts/sandwiches. The food and coffee arrivied in about 45 minutes -1 hour. By then some ladies had to leave. That was our experience today.

FOR SALE sign should give anyone pause. (Didnt see it). An HOUR wait for two TINY grilled sandwiches. A side of fruit missing. No ice for two of three drinks on hot day w/no air conditioning. A cook who seems to be on Step 4 of a 12-step program. No sense of urgency anywhere! They do warn of a long wait on paper at table. Staff to guest ratio 4-to-15, not 2-to-40 as stated, though.... unacceptably bad.

To start off when I first wrote my review I was hopeful for a change in the company. I now see based off the reply I got from the owner I will 100 percent never be returning here. A business owner should take responsibility and try to make the situation right. Not make excuses. I noticed five different people behind the register. Not 2. When I finally did get my food 2 HOURS later there was no apology or even an acknowledgment from the worker. If I am spending over $50 for food a customer shouldn’t have to wait 2 hours and get the food and drinks in waves so you can’t enjoy them together. Falcons McDonald’s customer service is 1000 times better then this place and that’s not saying much.

Comforting and great service! I enjoyed my breakfast every morning I was in the area. Food is good and fresh , they roast their own coffee, but most important they take care of their customers.

We love this place! Such a neat atmosphere and the food/drink is really good. Terrific customer service too :)

Just moved here and was super excited to find some local places after the barren food landscape of suburban Vegas. We hit the drive through a couple of times for some decent coffee and decided to try the food side. Coffee and hot coco for the kids came out about 45 minutes ago, the lost my chai brew and brought out a lukewarm one when questioned 30 minutes later (double checking the menu it looks to be iced. Weve been here aImost 2 hours and might get some food to leave a review on that but its looking iffy at this point. In case they come back saying there are only two people I see a guy with a hat cooking a girl in tie dye on their coffee bar, a guy running the window, and a curly haired girl in a blue shirt delivering food.

This place is a peaceful place away from traffic and busy of the city. They have a great food menu with options for everyone. Also, they have many options for coffee, both for the sweeter side and the syphon style coffee drinker. They roast their own beans and I approve! The staff were all very friendly and made you feel like this coffee house could become a regular. Their parking lot is gravel, so people that need assistance walking be careful. There is handicap parking and the building is handicap accessible. A separate mens and womens restrooms. Worth the detour!

The food was great. The service really nonexistent. We ordered on the kiosk by the front bar. What I didnt know was that our crepe would arrive 15 min before our sandwich. When I asked the crepe guy where the rest of our meal was. He said, I only do crepes. Ok, so that got me nowhere. I didnt know that any company was staffed well enough to have a crepe only guy. My suggestion, ditch the guy and the crepes. The crepe, pictured, in this review was flat and empty. While the rest of out food was great.

We stopped by for a coffe this morning and went inside. There was about 5 or 6 people inside at the tables and nobody at the counter. They immediately asked if it was for dine in or to go. We told them to go. So they politely asked us to go out to the drive through. Didn’t understand that at all when there was nobody in there and they could have easily just taken our order. So we went out and there were 4 other cars in line. We just left. I live and Black Forest and love to support local business but this kind of poor service has happened before at R&R. They complain that they are having a hard time but I don’t see much effort to accommodate the customer. I won’t be back.

Great place to eat and have a coffee. I got the skillet and I wanted more. We also loved the cheddar biscuits and gravy. Cannot get enough of this place.

Best coffee shop in Colorado Springs!!! The Red Stallion espresso is absolutely perfect as well as the decaf. Cinnamon rolls are delicious and huge!!! A wonderful place to preorder a loaf of sourdough and honey whole wheat bread for the week!

Very nice staff and great coffee selection! Food Menu was a little small but what we got was delicious!!

I came into this cute cafe with an open mind and a craving for good coffee. I was extremely disappointed to find that the iced cold brew that I’d ordered tasted like it had been mingled with acetone. I asked for a new coffee but was treated with a sour attitude by one of the employees. I never got a new coffee and was left with a stomach ache from the awful coffee. I do not recommend coming here.

Love supporting local businesses. Ive been coming here for years. Friendly service, delicious food, quaint atmosphere. Love the book book corner a well as the forest/mountain mural on the wall in the dining area. Delicious coffee (roasted on site) and plenty of breakfast and lunch options

Awesome breakfast place. Fantastic coffees roasted on-site

Amazing customer service combined with a delicious menu. It is always a pleasure to dine in the rustic cozy atmosphere of R & R.

All-time favorite breakfast place in the greater Colorado Springs area!

Learned about this cute little place from a realtor at an open house. My parents have lived in the springs for seven years and didn’t know about this gem. The item ordered was Tiny’s Burrito with green chiles and it’s anything but tiny! The items take extra time to make because they are made fresh every day. Coffee is truly amazing, staff is phenomenal and this is a place that truly takes pride in their work. We will be back!

Amazing coffee & food! New favorite coffee shop in the springs.

Cute little place! Actually opened when you need them to be. Food is great, service is better. 🙂

So glad to see them busy once again. Well worth a wait to see neighbors survive through the pandemic!

I begged them not to do it, but they didnt listen. They brought out their homemade apple pie and are selling it by the slice! Oh well, disciplined dieting is just a fad anyway, and this goes perfect with their coffee.Also, the staff goes out of their way to ensure that your drink meets or exceeds your expectations. So I recommend carving out some time in your schedule and savor and enjoy the experience#USAFA100

Yummy! What a cute out of the way place but the food and coffee is top notch. I had the French toast crepe with raspberry sauce and it was so delicious. A bit messy to eat but its so good you dont care. My husband had the breakfast panini. It has a little spice to it and so fresh, you want to just tear into it right then and there. Our drinks, the caramel happiness and the tincup cowboy, were perfectly made. We even bought a pound of whole beans for home. A small business that is focused on quality and friendliness that makes you want to come back. We just became regulars!

A smidge pricey but the Bobs breakfast sandwich and caramel coffee were delicious. Service was excellent and friendly. It was super cute inside. I actually hate saying this because I loved it so much, but the uhpolstry could use a redo. Its looking pretty worn in places and not in a good way. I would highly recommend with that one caveat.

Great place!! Breakfast burrito was fabulous.

Cute place. Excellent service. Great vibes.

Good food , good ambience. Behaviour of the staff , especially the manager is very friendly. Great place to hang out.

Amazing delicious food. Great menu and the coffee cake was so stinking good! Very nice man welcomed us! What a great little spot to enjoy

Excellent coffee place to meet up with friends. My chocolate crepe tasted really good and enjoyed my lavander italian soda. It was totally differnet, floral and refreshing.

Great coffee and even better staff

Great little place. Staff is friendly and food is great!

I was overcharged for my food.The pictures shows $16.51 worth of food.Biscuits and gravy and batch brew coffee.It seemed like a small portion for what I prayed and no presentation.Even though it seemed like good coffee beans the coffee was super weak. Might be the weakest cup of coffee Ive ever had.Very disappointed

Food overcooked. Service slow.

Stopped in for a quick coffee here. Nice, clean, and very friendly place. Ill be sure to stop here again when in the area.

We love the coffee! The cinnamon rolls hit the spot! Cant wait to get back to R&R.

Excellent breakfast and their coffee is second to none. Very nice people that are always very welcoming.

This is an awesome locally owned and operated cafe. They have great food and AMAZING coffees!

Great place to work remotely or get breakfast. All the food is made inhouse from scratch including the bread that is baked each morning!

One of my favorite breakfast places... Until reopening with the new regulations. Made a reservation and had to stand outside and knock to be let in?! 20 minutes to put in our order at the door, then I had to wait 15 minutes standing at a rug for a drip coffee away from my party. Food served on paper plates and plastic silverware packets. If this is dining out now, I wont waste my money.

Very bitter coffee and very overpriced.

Quaint little coffee shop that also serves breakfast and lunch. Best coffee I have ever had! Great spot to sit and chat or read a book.Order at the counter then grab a seat. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved our visit!

Nice little coffee shop tucked away! Great menu and drink selection. These people are serious about their beans

Great staff and super coffee, etc. Highly recommended!!

R&R has been one of the few places weve been excited about and been repeat customers to in the Springs. They have excellent coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. They have a terrific menu which is a delight for the whole family when the kitchen staff is on. Their only problem seems to be with consistency. The last time we were there, somebody in the kitchen left abruptly leaving them terribly short staffed and potentially with somebody who didnt actually know how to make the food as it was severely sub-par. I dont mind paying the higher prices for food when its excellent and I certainly understand the occasional pinch or staffing difficulty, but this inconsistency has happened several times now. I hope they work it out, because its still one of our favorite places in the NE Springs area.

Delicious and very fresh! We had the muffins, breakfast burrito and cinnamon roll, loved all of it.

Excellent food and coffee. Reminds me of home. Great for meetings of 1-4People.

The picture of a small business, and an essential part of my Sunday ritual.The food is always amazing, the service is always great, and the staff is always professional and calm under pressure.I move around a lot for my work. Businesses like this make me proud to be a part of the communities I am a temporary piece of.

Great local cafe. Coffee was very good! The biscuits and gravy were also tasty.

This is one of my favorite places for great coffee and a breakfast sandwich that is to die for! The staff is always amazing and they are following county and state guidelines for Covid-19. The pricing is resonable and if you leave hungry, it is because you didnt eat! So, next time you are looking for great coffee, great food, and reasonable prices I highly recommend this little gem in Black Forest.

We were excited to grab a drink at this cute coffee shop in Black Forest. We arrived and ordered our coffees at 11:14am. Although a few larger groups came in after us, when we arrived there were not many people there. We only ordered 4 coffee drinks, no food, and we didn’t get them until 12:10. I understand a slightly longer wait in a smaller place, but almost an hour is a beyond excessive wait for a coffee. If that’s the norm, that should be stated at the time of ordering. We went up and checked on our drinks multiple times and were just told they were still being made. The coffee was good, but not “wait an hour” good. Definitely not a place to stop when you just want a quick coffee for the road.

R&R is a great spot. My wifey saw something about it & suggested it on a snowy morning. We were impressed with the atmosphere & the food. My 7yr old son had the Cinnamon Roll French Toast (Snuck a bite & it was amazing), he scarfed it down & loved it. My wifey had the T.A.B.L.E. sandwich and found it delicious. And my Biscuits & Gravy were awesome. The sides of bacon were very tasty & just the right crispiness. And of course our coffees were outstanding. Well be coming back again and again, such a wonderful place & service.

I thought a restaurant in Alabama had the best corned beef hash, until I came here. They have ruined corned beef hash at any other place for me and I will only get my corned beef hash from this place. The staff was great and even allowed me to take my time gathering up my things as I did not realize they were getting ready to close for the day. Better than Starbucks or any other bed and breakfast in my opinion!

I live just outside Black Forest and love to work remote out of this cozy cafe. Its quiet and they have a nice working or relaxation corner. Great tea and coffee selection and they are accommodating to changing up the menu for vegetarians. Longer hours would get this cafe and coffee house 5 stars as they do close pretty early at 3pm but are nice enough not to kick folks out if you get lost in time snuggling up with book in the corner.

First time here, and I was NOT disappointed. Such a cute little space. What a lovely set up and atmosphere. Coffee is amazing and food is definitely delicious. You will not regret stopping by. Staff is so welcoming and easy going. The orders take a little extra time but not much, because everything is timed and cooked perfectly. The cashier was a sweetie pie. :)

Friendly, fun service. DEELISH garden omelette with roasted veggies, fresh spinach and herb cream cheese! Served with two slices of toast and a generous portion of home fries! Love the tea and coffee selection, too.

This is my first visit. Hours listed on the website are wrong so had to leave and come back. Coffee is great, breakfast burrito is ok at best and way over priced for what you get, but service was pretty poor. They make you wait outside for takeout orders which is no big deal but I had to go back inside after waiting 20 minutes for my food. Out of sight out of mind I guess. When I did go back in my food was sitting on the counter for who knows how long. If I go back I’ll stick to coffee only.

Coffee is always amazing and the food is always delicious. Love that they have a variety of alternative milks for the coffee. Staff is always friendly and extremely helpful.

Thoroughly disappointed. Order, pay, and tip at the counter prior to receiving any service. Was given water, silverware, and coffee cup at the counter and had to fill my own coffee. No wait staff to refill drinks, you have to do this yourself, only runners to deliver food. Food was severely overpriced for the service and portions delivered, order was over $40 for breakfast for 2 with a 15% tip. I ordered the corn beef hash which is little more than chopped lunch meat over house potatoes, and was oddly sweet. Wife ordered a breakfast burrito that was bland, greasy, and also oddly sweet. Coffee was lackluster given the good reviews we had seen, and not worth the $4 they charge. We will not be returning.

We have been going to R&R for several years but our last few trips havent been the same. We have had to wait a long time for our food to come out and it seems like the quality of the food is going down. We had breakfast this morning and it was sadly our worst experience. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich with sausage but it did not come with any sausage. He asked for the sausage patty but did not receive it until quite some time later and he was already finished with the sandwich. The sausage that did come out was cold in the middle and my husband could not eat it. I ordered the hash and it was bland and my toast was so hard that I could not eat it. I will say that the staff was very nice but that only goes so far. We are disappointed and we may not be back.

Excellent food. Great coffee. But, do not go when you are in a hurry. Staff is super nice, but service is usually slow. This is a leisurely, take your time to relax kind of place. Have waited up to 45 minutes to get a burrito.

Decided to come here on a whim. Relaxed atmosphere, with art hanging throughout the cafe. Offers up nice selection of breakfast and coffee.I had the breakfast sandwich which was a little sweet and savory (espresso rubbed bacon with lettuce) and a blended caramel happiness.The coffee had a unique flavor I have rarely tasted, but it was light and hints of caramel. My wife enjoyed their chai tea, I could smell the spices of it before they placed it on the table.LOVE their menu, I will post a picture of it.

I went to the Tri-Lakes location today, and absolutely LOVED it!! I was helped by Meg and had the best latte I’ve ever had!! I am so excited to keep coming back to this location because it is closer to my house. I highly recommend their new location in Monument.

Great hometown feel. Great atmosphere. They roast their coffee on site and brew it in the manner best suited for that particular coffee. Coffee is fantastic. I had the biscuits and gravy and will have to get the same on the next visit. Highly recommended because of great food and friendly staff.

Updated- I originally gave a one star review due to the wait time for coffee in witch I just left without getting after 40 minutes. After speaking to the owner personally and understanding the situation I wanted to update my review. They are trying to incorporate the tri lakes staff so they can keep their income. They are also a small eatery trying to incorporate drive thru to stay afloat. Give them a chance they are trying their best.

Normally when I come out to these remote towns - I look forward to a good breakfast before driving home. Now I’m driving home hungry. Why? Because they overcharge for small portions, and the food that I ate was just... bad. Also didn’t need the cooks smart remark as we were getting refunded.Coffee - good, food - bad.

Delicious coffee, gluten free and lactose free food, and wonderful atmosphere! This is my official new coffee shop! Love it! I can eat food, and enjoy it without worrying about my intolerances! Best place ever!

Never again......Ive never in my life had the experience of carrots in an omelette. It was completely unexpected as there are things that just dont go together. Namely, carrots in an omelette. I tried to remain positive but when a restaurant cares more about my diet than I do, we have a problem. Dont bother ordering potatoes with breakfast as they charge extra & the amount received wouldnt put a dent in a babys mouth. Some people may love R & R just not my cup of tea.

The service is horrible and has been since it moved across the street. It took over half an hour to get a cinnamon roll, white mocha and two hot cocoa. The first cinnamon roll was so hard and dried out I sent it back, we couldn’t eat it. The second one was only marginally better. The coffee was good but shouldn’t take half an hour to make. Won’t be coming back anymore.

Great coffee, great pastries, great ambiance, and a great service! This is a MUST visit if you consider yourself a coffee person. Local roasters with a good variety of coffee. Not sure what to order?? No problem, try a flight of coffee here... Well definitely be back!

I brought 2 friends and myself, for the first time. To the R&R coffee cafe today. I had the FRENCH ONION SOUP. The very best french onion soup I have ever tasted. I also had the GREEN CHILI BURGER, which was prepared perfectly to my request and not a sloppy chili mess. It was easy to handle with a slightly thicker based chili. Both my friends had the same experience and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.This place is a diamond in the woods !!!!!!!And a very fun and talented staff, Chef is top notch.You are missing something great if you dont make it a priority to dine there.They are a coffee and dining experience you wont want to miss.

The coffee is the best I have had. The atmosphere is fantastic. I regularly go to have coffee and work. The food is fantastic and healthy potions.

Amazing coffee selection and great menue. Intimate, cozy, clean, friendly service. Food was awesome too. LOVE

So great! Absolutely loved it here. Great customer service, yummy food, and the coffee is heaven.

Ordering is slow due to Covid-19 but coffee and pastries are worth the wait.

I’ve come here a few times and every time it is always great. Coffee is pretty great and I’ve also had their Italian cream sodas. They are awesome. This is a great coffee shop. Very comfy and cozy cabin feel inside.

Great small business. Friendly employees, prompt service, and great food. Try the herb breakfast sandwich, YUM!

Great little shop, we avoid it at peak times as they do slip a bit when near capacity. They have an AMAZING selection of teas that they will carefully craft for you.

Just discovered this wonderful little place. Its clean and cozy, with friendly, efficient help. Early morning, I ordered a T.A.B.L.E. Sammich which exceeded my expectations -- it was wonderful ! And the bottomless cup of coffee, Forest Mist Blend was my choice. Two thumbs up -- Ill be looking forward to trying other menu choices!

Very nice quaint coffe shop/restaurant. Love the food and drinks. Very friendly staff thank you!

Really nice spot. Coffee is all roasted in house and the food is very good! The coffee glazed bacon is unique as are their herb seasoned potatoes. I highly recommend and will be frequenting this place in the future.

Very good but pricey. The coffee is an in-house roast and they offer a wide variety of coffee and non-coffee drinks. The food tastes fresh with a local flare and service is reasonably quick. The only thing that keeps me from 4 or 5 stars is the price. Kids breakfast plates are $7+, breakfast sandwiches $10+, cup of drip coffee almost $4, small kids steamed milk $3+. Overall $45 for 2 parents and 1 toddler. For better or worse it seems like they forgot theyre in Black Forest, Colorado...Not NYC or Napa Valley.

This cafe is located in the Southern part of Black Forest. The building is pretty amazing and the views outside and around are awesome. The staff was really friendly and the service was good. My cons about it were that it is pretty pricy for what you receive compared to what you would pay at an IHOP or Dennys. The other con I had was the library area. The room is really cool, however it is absolutely filthy in there. The red chairs under the cushions are full of dirt, food, and hair. There was dog hair all on the seats. The floors look like they hadnt been swept in months. Because of these items, it is an average place in an above average location.

Hidden treasure in Black Forest! Awesome gourmet coffee and breakfast/lunch in a homey, family-friendly setting. Cool reading area with fireplace to enjoy your coffee. Support local businesses!

I had the South if Denver omelette my wife had a breakfast burrito. The food was decent. I know this is a small out of the way restaurant. Here are the things i take issue with. First you prepay so if the service is bad your out of luck. The service was less than ideal for instance we were never asked if we needed our drinks topped off or if we needed any condiments for the meals.

We were super excited to try this place, because of all the reviews. We waited for over 35 mins for our food. And we’re super disappointed with the taste and quality. Our pancakes were burnt on the bottom, biscuits and gravy was cold, and they forgot our eggs and bacon. The service was poor, I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money. It was expensive and not worth it.

This is a great breakfast spot. I highly recommend their breakfast burritos and Cinnamon Roll French Toast.
