What a great cafe! - Edit
This place was a great find while we were in Colorado Springs. Thank you Happy Cow. Organic, high quality food. Loved that it was gluten free. I don’t usually get desserts. But I had to try a cookie, and they were amazing.

No longer vegan - Edit
Used to be vegan, not anymore, when I mentioned that I was disappointed the woman who was working there was extremely rude. "We're not going to stop serving chicken because you think it's gross. Most people eat meat"

Was all vegan until they changed it - Edit
I used to love this place, and I would come in regularly. However since they’ve introduced chicken into their kitchen I am no longer interested. For a place so worried about allergies I’m surprised they’re not worried about the cross contamination that comes with chicken. They sacrificed integrity for profit. I won’t be back.

Amazing Treats & Lunch Menu - Edit
I’d give them 5 stars but Happy Cow doesn’t allow 5 unless there’s no meat on menu. While the menu doesn’t specify vegan-everything but the chicken lunch option is vegan. Like others said-the owner is kind & generous. Frosting on the donuts is delicious and they are generous with it if you ask. Such a nice, kind place to eat.
Read morePros: Variety on menu, Friendly owners, Quality ingredients
Cons: No vegan chicken alternative

Best vegan sweets in Colorado Springs - Edit
Seriously amazing. Come for the sweets and stay for the awesome Cafe food. Owner is incredibly generous, always ask for more icing!
Read moreNo longer an entirely vegan cafe, disappointing. Primarily serves the gluten free community.

Was not a fan of the parsley/ lentil sandwich - Edit
The parsley pesto/lentil hummus sandwich was not something I liked. It was served open faced which was a surprise. The bread was more like flatbread and was pretty tough. The other elements of the sandwich were overall soggy and lacked seasoning... even salt! This is not something I would order again. The bakery was better. Ask for the cinnamon roll warmed up and order a donut without the frosting as they are served with way too much.
Read morePros: Everything is gluten free and vegan
Cons: Food lacking seasoning

some baked goods better than others - Edit
This place is very cute and the staff is friendly. The baked goods selection is pleasantly varied, but some are better than others. The cake balls (cake pops minus the stick) were my favorite. And I think you can’t go wrong with most of the dessert items.
Read moreHowever, the bread was unpleasantly dense. For example, the “focaccia” looks and tastes like a dense thin pizza crust, because this restaurant is gluten-free, and gluten is what makes a focaccia what it is (puffed up, soft, and airy).
The lunch food was similarly disappointing. The pesto sandwich was just a salad on top of the aforementioned focaccia, and the butternut squash soup was average.
Overall, I would come back here, but only for dessert, not bread or lunch.
Pros: dessert, especially cake balls, friendly staff
Cons: bread is tough and not tasty, lunch food is average

Plant-based Cafe and bakery - Edit
The entire menu is plant-based. This is a great option for a healthy plant-based breakfast or lunch. I had the lunch combo (veggie bowl and cup of soup). The portions are generous and flavors are good.
Read morePros: 100% plant-based menu, Generous portions
Cons: Cafe menu is not extensive

Awesome VGF spot - Edit
I had the waffle which I thought was totally delicious. They were out of whipped cream but honestly the strawberry compote and maple syrup were enough.
Read moreI tried the doughnuts which are the best VGF ones I've ever had I had two with no icing and a third with. I actually preferred no icing.
Their buns are again the best VGF ones I have ever had. I really really loved them.
Cinamon buns! Wow they were GREAT! Again I got no icing and totally loved them.
Raspberry turnover was decent.
Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the focaccia Flatbread.
Nothing is heavy or dense and the textures of everything was so so so good.
Staff were very friendly and pleasant.

Try the bowl - Edit
We found this cafe by chance in Happy Cow. Ignore the mobile website which is hard to navigate and makes you believe this is just a bakery. This place serves amazing food. The Bowl was quite possibly the best vegan meal we had in the week we stayed in Colorado Springs. Try it!

I wish I could eat more! - Edit
My partner and I had brunch here, and have fallen in love. I wish we weren't leaving the area soon, because I could eat here every day. We had the mushroom biscuits and gravy, and the waffle with strawberry compote. The biscuits and gravy were delicious, very mushroomy. But the waffles were the star! Highly recommend!

Better for gluten free people - Edit
Super great service so I hate to leave this review. I ordered coffee and the biscuits and gravy and both were awful… I think it’s the gluten free flours they use. Any way I feel like this is a better place for gluten free people then vegans. I’ve never tasted flavors like that before but perhaps because I’m not used to gluten free foods.

Made me happy and full - Edit
The food was delicious. But what I most appreciate about this delightful locally-owned restaurant is that everything is organic. Even the coffee. They believe in the importance of pesticide-free food.
Read moreThough not an issue for me, they are also gluten-free.
The cafe is clean and bright. They owners love what they are doing and are helpful and friendly.
I haven’t had waffles in years. I’m definitely returning to sweet elizabeth’s to have some.
Pros: Vegan AND healthy , Owners, Scott and Elizabeth, welcoming/friendly, Totally organic

Absolutely divine! - Edit
Sweet Elizabeth’s offers so many delicious, gluten free, vegan, allergy friendly options. As of this review, you can place your order through the week and then pick up your purchases on Fridays from 4-6 pm at the Land O’ Lakes Rec Center parking lot. It is WORTH it! Elizabeth is so nice and her baked goods are second to none!
