Kangaroo Coffee — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

On a work trip to Colorado Springs, my colleagues and I stopped by Kangaroo Coffee on 8th St. on our way to the office. It was convenient to have a drive-thru that wasn’t the typical green mermaid.

We got here at a good time to quickly peruse the menu from the drive-thru. Unfortunately, 2 of the drinks my colleagues wanted weren’t available. And I ordered an Iced Vanilla Oat Milk Latte; however, the flavor was just okay.

What I did like was that Kangaroo Coffee had 2 drive-thru lanes to order from. And that they also had smoothies, teas (hot or iced), and lemonades available. In addition, I really liked their branding!

I have tried this place twice, and both times I've been disappointed. The quality of their caffeinated drinks is mediocre at best. Both the times I could not taste anything but cream on my drinks which is why the score is so low. I could make a better drink on my $10 coffee maker in the office.

The staff are nice and somewhat friendly which is why I added another star. However, every time you visit the place they ask about tipping which get annoying. Maybe they should focus on making quality coffee since they're a coffee place, and stop hounding customers about tips.

Update: After seeing the response from the business, I had to lower to one star. This business does not pay their baristas a livable wage, and has them rely on tips to survive. This is highly unethical since most people aren't accustomed to the idea of baristas being paid in tipped wages. Now I would definitely not...

This is the place that made me finally give up on Starbucks. The drinks are all delicious and the flavors are very creative. The staff is ALWAYS amazing! They take the time to ask about your day, and will happily give you suggestions about the menu. The prices are pretty good especially comparing to the amount of coffee you get. They have a newer rewards program where you use their reloadable card to pay, and it actually gives you a certain percentage of cash back on your purchases. If you haven’t been using that, I definitely recommend it. Sometimes the line can be annoying, but it’s...
