Alice's Guidebook for Colorado Springs
Good Food around the area
Lots of new and fun restaurants, cafes, and pubs in Colorado Springs and close by areas. Plenty of good breakfast places here too. (if you choose other than having some of the organic snacks and breakfast items I provide for your convenience). Some of my recommendations are within walking distance; some a short drive; and a few that are a little longer drive west of CS and up the pass on 24 West.
Good wholesome foods, Great Breakfast and lunch, pleasant atmosphere.
