If your ideal morning starts with a beautiful cup of coffee and a view worth lingering over, Broadmoor may be one of the most rewarding places in Colorado to live. There is something about sipping a pour-over with Cheyenne Mountain rising in the distance that turns an ordinary routine into a ritual. As someone who knows this pocket of Colorado Springs well, I have a few favorite ways to spend a slow coffee-centered morning here. Let me share where I like to go.
Key Takeaways
- Broadmoor pairs great coffee with some of the finest mountain views around.
- The Broadmoor resort offers elegant on-site cafe options.
- The wider Colorado Springs scene is full of talented local roasters.
- A morning coffee walk is one of the best ways to enjoy the area.
Start with Coffee and a View
Part of the joy of coffee in Broadmoor is where you drink it. This is a place made for pairing a warm cup with the outdoors, whether you are strolling the paths around Cheyenne Lake or watching the light move across the foothills. I always tell people the scenery is half the experience.
My Favorite Ways to Sip and Stroll
To make the most of a Broadmoor morning, I like to build the coffee around the setting:
- A walk around Cheyenne Lake with a to-go cup in hand
- A quiet bench with a clear view toward Cheyenne Mountain
- An early stroll before the day warms and the trails fill
- A slow weekend morning spent lingering over a second cup
Coffee Right Here in Broadmoor
You do not have to go far to find a beautiful cup. The Broadmoor resort keeps a collection of cafes and lounges that are open to visitors, and they make an easy, elegant stop close to home. It is one of my go-to recommendations for anyone who appreciates a refined setting.
What I Love About the On-Site Cafes
When I want coffee without leaving the neighborhood, the resort delivers on a few fronts:
- Julie's Cafe at The Broadmoor for espresso drinks and pastries
- A polished, comfortable setting perfect for a relaxed morning
- Easy access without a drive across town
- A dependable spot to meet a friend or start the day well
Venture Out for the Local Roaster Scene
When I am in the mood to explore, the greater Colorado Springs area rewards a little wandering. Just beyond Broadmoor, neighborhoods like Old Colorado City and the downtown core are home to independent roasters and cozy cafes worth seeking out. A short drive opens up a whole world of coffee.
Where I Point Fellow Coffee Lovers
For those willing to venture a bit further, I suggest keeping an eye out for:
- The independent roasters clustered in and around downtown Colorado Springs
- The walkable cafe scene in historic Old Colorado City
- Small-batch roasters offering single-origin beans to take home
- Seasonal specialty drinks that showcase local creativity
