Was in town for just a few days and returned twice! The little back courtyard is so relaxing. The ice tea bar had great options and the coffee was delicious. Sad I have to travel so far to go back.
I love their single slice pizzas to order! Their pizza slices are huge! I ordered two slices, but one was more than enough. Their pizza crust is nice and crispy on the edges (I prefer crisp pizza over soggy flimsy pizza). They have plenty of vegan options to include a variety of vegan pastries. They do, however, run out of vegan pastries from time to time. I highly recommend the chickpea bar with chocolate chips (I don't remember what it's actually called). They also have a big hot tea menu, which I love! Yhe staff if very friendly and helpful when I've asked for drink and food recommendations. They have a ton of unique cards for almost any occasion, a good selection of books to choose from, and live music on select evenings (check their website). There's plenty of seating and metered parking. Please know that this place can get loud during the evenings, but it personally doesn't bother me.
After a long day of adventuring we decided to end our ToUsDay with Coffee and dessert, which led us to Rico’s. We both had the maple hazelnut latte and oh my goodness it was amazing. Not overly sweet. Just right!!! The baristas were friendly, the atmosphere was fun and comfortable. I’d definitely recommend this place!!!
Such a nice, cozy place. Delicious cappuccino muffin and good coffee. Friendly service!
I visited Rico’s for the first time last night with a friend. I wanted to get a coffee before going to see the comedy show at Pike Peak Center. This place had an amazingly warm atmosphere and the live music was an extra plus. I felt so comfortable here I was able to break out of my quiet shell and sing along with the band. I can’t wait to go back and highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a good coffee and a good atmosphere.
Loose leaf tea, sipping chocolate, coffee, or wine with a light meal or pastry sound good? Then this place is *perfect* to go to for it. Laid back stmosphere. Affordable menu prices. Staff is really chill. Oh and the bathroom is unisex.
Rico’s Café is a great place to have coffee/tea and just relax. Not only is it a coffee shop, they have a wide selection of greeting cards and gifts to choose from. The tea and coffee selection is very large, this is a great place to relax, study and shop for small gifts.
We are from out of town. We hunted for a good cappuccino and found a GREAT one here. We've come back and will continue to do so for the duration of our visit. Thank you and thank you for honoring service members. That was an awesome and refreshing discount. Ooh rah!!
