About Us
Cooked from scratch, Served with care
Food That Takes Its Time
We don’t use microwaves. We don’t serve pre-made food. Every dish is prepared from scratch using organic and local ingredients whenever possible. Our kitchen runs on care and craft—not speed. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply hungry, we’ve built our menu with intention and heart.
Less waste, More doing it right
Sustainability Since the Start
We’ve been mindful of our environmental impact since 1985. From biodegradable to-go packaging and iPad-based operations to house-made chai, syrups, and sauces—we cut waste where we can and make what we can ourselves. Less packaging. Fewer trucks. More doing it the right way.
Start with breakfast, End with a story
About Manitou Springs
Manitou Springs is a creative, walkable community just outside Colorado Springs—full of art, history, spring water, and charm. Start at Adam’s for breakfast, then stroll the Creek Walk Trail from Arch to Arch. Take in public art, sip from the mineral springs, and let the pace slow down.
Found notes from strangers past
The Letter Drawers
Our dining room is filled with antique tables—some with drawers. Years ago, guests began leaving handwritten notes inside. Some are sweet. Some are strange. All of them are part of the story. You’re welcome to read a few… or leave one behind.
