Story Coffee Company — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

I've been here about 2 times and I absolutely love it. However the 2nd visit was vastly different from the first. The workers don't have name tags but the one guy is absolutely amazing. He has so much passion and knowledge for the coffee and it tasted amazing. Was possibly the best mocha I've had from anywhere. We went the next time and it was someone different.

You should stop by and drink some...

It’s great both hot and cold. We ended up going 3 times in one day between the two locations. The last time I went was just before closing, and the barista was SO sweet, even though it was the very end of her shift…she was so pleasant and happy. She made me feel welcome and it made all the difference at the end of a tiring day! I just had to have one last cup before leaving Colorado Springs! I selfishly wish they were a national chain, but then again, Story just charming and perfect the...
