The Best Coffee Shops In Colorado Springs, Colorado

Coffee shops are a great place to get work done and enjoy a chat with friends; however, they’re especially nice when you want to curl up with your favorite read and indulge in a hot drink. Agia Sophia has made it convenient for you to do just that, by paring a bookstore with a cafe. Sink into one of the plush leather chairs and enjoy hot espresso drinks, iced espresso drinks, blended espresso, French press, tea, cider, hot chocolate and more. There is also a small food menu available, featuring a breakfast quesadilla, vegan wrap, hummus with pita bread, a cup of the soup of the day, and turkey pesto Panini. Peruse the bookshelves and discover books on philosophy, religion, history, and many fictional classics. Agia Sophia is a popular place for book clubs and bible study groups to gather.

Thanks to this Colorado Springs bar, there’s finally a principal’s office you can look forward to going to. The hipster bar offers a wide variety of coffee, tea, and cocktail beverages.
