“I love this place!!! We had another fantastic breakfast!  I had the single side pancake (one pancake fills the plate) of Blueberry-Lemon Swirl. Phenomenal. I usually have the Cinnamon Swirl single pancake and the only reason I didn't take it today is that I know I'm coming back Friday.” - Yelp Review

Vegan and vegetarian-friendly cafe with vegan cinnamon rolls that are to die for.

26 Manitou Ave | Manitou Springs | adamsmountaincafe.com

This Colorado Springs cafe serves breakfast from 8am to 3pm Wednesday through Monday.

Their Huevos Rancheros has also been voted “Best In the Springs” seven years in a row, their coffee is a delicious, organic dark roast blend, and they offer a full bar including a selection of Mimosas and Bloody Marys.

With a menu intentionally designed to be vegan and vegetarian friendly, you will not feel as if your dietary needs are an afterthought at this cafe located in the vibrant neighborhood of Manitou Springs. All of their servers are knowledgeable about vegetarian and vegan diets, and they are more than happy to assist guests in navigating the menu.  

Enjoy a breakfast of Vegan Huevos Rancheros, Orange Almond French Toast, or Vegan Cinnamon Rolls and finish with a dessert (yes, even if you had the cinnamon roll for breakfast!) with the Vegan Orange Spice Cake, a moist vegan orange cake topped with vegan cinnamon and nutmeg spiced Anglais and sweet Cashew Cream.
