Flame Cafe — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

Flame Cafe is nothing like your typical museum food place. Normally restaurants associated with a museum are not that great. They’re meant to feed your kids when they have a melt down in the middle of the day. However, this place is worth a visit all on its own. Which is easy to do since it’s separate from the museum and no ticket is needed to go in. The food is internationally themed, with a few special nods at Olympic cities. Everything is made fresh to order. So while you will need to wait for your food, it’s well worth it. I tried the Paris pizza and was delighted by the subtle blend of Swiss and goat cheese. The olives give the pizza a nice salty pop of flavor. The boa buns were flavorful with lots of filling. The buns themselves were not the typical rice flour bun, but still tasty. They were filling enough to have as a meal. If you do have kids in the midst of a melt down, there is build your own pizza and a smash burger. Will definitely make it a point to go back here just...

I ordered the "London" fish and chips that were battered in pancake batter and so rubbery I couldn't even chew it 😒. The tartar sauce tasted like straight mayo, but the fries were good and the soda...which is bottled. It would be whatever if it weren't so expensive...super overrated. I have something to add... what foced me to get out as fast as I could, was the staff talking about seeping soiled feminine hygiene products right on the front line.... I don't know what they were thinking but none of them should be working in the food...

Paid for Boulder Canyon kettle chips, but got plain Lay’s potato chips. Had I known that I would have spent the extra $1 for fries. Burger was good, but the bun was burnt. My husband got the fish and chips and said 1 piece was so rubbery he could hardly eat it. Definitely not worth the money! Staff made me get my own glasses of water, even though they are behind the check out stand. As you can see, the atmosphere and view of the mountains is...
