  What a cool spot! Staff is very welcoming and the whole coffee shop sucks you in with all the atmosphere. Coffee is great, for me still too dark of a roast (I had the hand pour over Ethiopia) - but that is a preference - not a quality issue. 110% recommend u to stop by

  If there’s one thing I know, it is coffee. I have spent many years of my life roasting coffee professionally and nearly as many as a barista. Building Three’s coffee is among the best coffee I’ve had. It is easily a new favorite of mine in the state. . . and that’s due to the complete experience I received, which all began with amazing staff. The two girls serving me were professionals and so very kind. Their smiles and friendly approach were clearly genuine and they ran a shop well! It was such a comfortable stay that I spent nearly the entire day at Building Three and loved that the Lincoln Center location meant breakfast, coffee, and many other activities were available to me there. Professionally, if I had to give any constructive feedback, I’d say this: I prefer sparkling water as a cleanser with my espresso. It’s just a fun added bonus. As for the espresso itself, it was a tad roasty. I’d also say I felt a little in-the-dark about my pour over choice. Other than knowing it was an Ethiopian, I was educated very little here. Washed? Natural? Not sure. If this information was clearly displayed, I apologize, but I prefer that information pretty visible in my shops. It wasn’t the best Ethiopian I’ve had, but I wasn’t sure what to judge it against without any context on the variety, region, grade, etc. Perfectly serviceable and totally got the job done. Would drink it again happily. Overall, GREAT shop. Will be back!

  i went in at 10:20 and it was pretty busy. they had a lot of seating and i wanted to stay and enjoy a good book, but because it was so active and the music was really loud, i decided not to. this is a good place to meet up with friend instead of have a quiet morning by yourself. the customer service was great, it really felt friendly and welcoming. they bring out your drink calling out your name (which makes it really personal and nice). i was hoping to get a bagel or some type of food, but it looked like the morning rush had gotten there faster and taken all their supply 😂 i got an iced latte with honey lavender syrup. it was 5.20 for a 12 oz. the espresso flavor tasted really smooth and rich, although i didn’t taste much lavender. i think i would have enjoyed a vanilla latte better. it probably would’ve tasted better hot, but since it was 90 outside i decided to not to be cruel to myself and go for cold. waiting for my drink took about three-five minutes. while waiting, tho, this other customer and her dog kept on staring at me. quite unnerving, but whateves. this was an overall okay place. not one of my favorites out of colorado springs, but glad i tried it.

  The profile of the espresso beans really stands out, even from a milk-based espresso drink. It’s citrusy, with nutty sweetness lingering around. Open and airy space with friendly baristas and some cool customers 😎:)

  Always great coffee here. I highly recommend the nitro cold brew, because it’s so rich and smooth. I’ve also tried their cappuccino, and that’s excellent as well. We just got the bagel sandwiches today (pictured), highly recommend! They’re beautiful to look at and delicious!
