My husband gave the greatest compliment he's ever given: I'd still eat this even if it had hair in it, I want the other half back (we split the Mountain Man Hash). Food was delicious, no complaints. Service was excellent. Silas T provided great recommendations and offered to divide the dish in the back before it was brought out. The crew was steadily moving to provide great service. Generous portions, we saw a lot of left over food cleared from tables. Only downside the drip coffee doesn't have free refills. Look forward to going back and trying other dishes.

Garden of the God's Market! These folks know how to run a restaurant, bar, and cafe. Quality food, drinks and service at a reasonable price. Not the easiest feat to pull off when you're essentially running three businesses in one. But they do it. Since discovering the market, I've been a few times since and will definitely be back again!

We had the most wonderful breakfast experience at Garden of the Gods Market & Cafe. From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right for a cold, snowy morning. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and sitting next to the fireplace made it especially perfect. The food was absolutely amazing – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was comforting and delicious, exactly what you want on a winter morning. Our waitress truly made the experience even better. She was friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive, providing genuinely excellent service and making us feel so welcome. This is one of those places that gets everything right – food, service, and atmosphere. A perfect spot for a slow, cozy breakfast, and one we will happily return to again and again.

Refined relaxation. The atmosphere is laid-back, making it an easy place to hang out for a casual brunch or a slow morning, while the modern decor gives it a fresh, stylish feel. The lattes are excellent–smooth, flavorful, and carefully crafted. The real highlight for me was the bacon. It's thick cut with that perfect chewy and crispy texture that’s hard to get just right, but they nailed it. Highly recommend the Southwest Benedict. The biscuits are fluffy, eggs perfectly poached, and the hollandaise sauce ties it all together. It’s the only Benedict I’ve had in the Springs that is worth eating. The Shrimp and Grits is well portioned and balanced between savory and spicy.

Went here for breakfast twice over the last two weeks, they are a great spot and the food is exceptionally hearty, healthy, filling and reasonably priced. Fried chicken and waffles is very well done along with the shrimp and grits. Excellent coffee and their juice was extremely refreshing. Would recommend getting there early for breakfast as it starts filling up after 830. Parking is always available on the streets. Highly recommended as the staff is very friendly.

Had Salmon and Prociutto Benedicts,Feta and Watermelon Salad, Grilled Cheese, and Biscuits and Gravy. Food was fantastic, wish we lived nearby! Tea service, cocktails, and coffee drinks were all on point.

We were here last year so we decided to come back. We got the wagyu smash burger with fried, green chili and french onion soup. Everything was delicious. Alejandro was a great server. Glad we came back I also got the peach cobbler latte.

First visit to GoG Market and Cafe. Arrived when the doors opened at 8 on Sunday morning. Great natural light, gas fireplace, and open feel in the indoor seating area. Service was excellent start to finish. Excellent value for the Benedict specials at $19 each. Recommend they add some vegan substitutes to the breakfast menu. Highly recommend for breakfast.
