Would love to come back! - Edit
Came here by myself on a whim. I live really far up north so I’m not usually in this area but I would love to come back. Delicious drinks and the vegan spicy mac I had was one of the best things I’ve ever had. Very friendly staff and I loved the atmosphere inside!

Fantastic Kitsch find - Edit
Man I love Happy Cow for showing us local delights beyond obligatory Taco Bell/Subway in places like Colorado Springs. This place is amazing - super kitschy, cute, full of character and AMAZING selection of food and beverages. The menu is more American-Mexican with huge nacho plates and crunchwraps and burritos. A must go when traveling through (or if you live here!)

Felt welcomed & enjoyed a great meal - Edit
Incredibly attentive workers and great variety of vegan food. We got the salt&pepper Mac and Cheez & deff wished it was more “creamier” but the taste was okayyy; (there’s a spice that’s off) will get it loaded next time. The Nooch-Os and was the best! We are big nacho lovers and loved the portion and flavors! The space is incredible ! Outside is great for companion dogs & smokers ! Can’t wait to head back!

Good effort, poor result - Edit
After reading reviews of past guests, we had higher hopes than what we experienced. The servers are friendly, but the food lacked any flavor and had poor presentation. The burrito had residual water pooled on the plate from poor draining of the vegetable toppings, the veggie tray lacking good preparation, etc. There were also questionable sanitary practices by having water dispensed from plastic instead of stainless steel or glass.

All around Fabulous! - Edit
So many delicious options! Seven layer dip was a great start to this experience. The red curry bowl was amazing; Perfect amount of spice. My husband had the Tuesday special - air fried chimichanga. Generous portion and tasty. Loved the Riva Stout from Holidaily brewery - vegan & gluten free….what??? Took a slice of Sweet Elizabeth’s Organic Chocolate Strawberry cake(gluten free) to go! And yes, it was as good as it sounds!!! Amazing!! Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Wish we lived across the street from this place. Will definitely be back next time we are in Colorado Springs:)

This food is “slap yo mama” good - Edit
My wife and I popped in on our road trip, and we’ve been here twice in 12 hours. The nachos are amazing, the drinks are high quality and the service is friendly and efficient. Get here now.

Excellent variety - Edit
Great breakfasts and lunches. They use lots of tofu to fake meat products, rather than Whole Foods.

Ok but not great - Edit
I haven’t tried all options on menu- tried the mac and cheese, burrito, sloppy - just didn’t like the taste of any if these - the fake crumbled meat is made in house but it just doesn’t taste good (tastes like meat), they put too much of it (almost made me sick), the taste of the cheese is not good - all tastes fake/chemical taste. I really liked their homemade green tea and the bar atmosphere. It’s a cool looking venue but the food is mediocre at best.

Amazing!! - Edit
The interesting menu and great service makes this place a must do! We had the BLT and the smothered breakfast burrito and we were super pleased. We will be back every time we come to and through the Springs!

Great environment - Edit
The vibe in here was to die for. The employees were super sweet and helpful. I got the supreme nachos, a cherry chocolate cake, and an on-tap mango passion fruit kombucha. My partner bought a crunchwrap with a side of queso.
Read moreThe nachos were good. I had the cherry chocolate cake a couple hours later and I wasn’t a fan. For $7 I was super disappointed with the moisture and taste; the icing was good though.
One of the FOH and a guest told us about a sister restaurant by the same owners called Fern’s that we will be trying out.

A new favorite! - Edit
The Burrowing Owl has an extensive menu and decent beer selection. Our group ordered the Supreme Burrito, Rice & Bean Supreme Bowl, a BLT, the Seven Layer Dip, Spicy Mac, the Friday Night Special Loose Meat Philly and the Cookies and Cream Cake. Everything was terrific! We’ll definitely be back!

A wonderful vegan spot - Edit
Took a couple trips for us to get in the groove of this place and find some favorites on the menu, now we look forward to any excuse to go to the Springs so we can go here! I would recommend the 7 layer dip. It's spectacular. Always a good selection of kombucha, which you can order by the glass or get a growler! Decor is interesting, consisting mostly of vintage beer signs. Staff is super knowledgeable, fun, and consistent.

Great hangout spot! - Edit
Atmosphere is wonderful, extensive tap list and bar selection. Overall, most of the food I’ve had here is pretty mediocre….but is so nice to have a spot in COS where a vegan can order anything on the menu.

I found my people - Edit
I was sooo hungry for a good vegan feed after two weeks on the road at work conferences with nothing but salad at the buffets. This place was an unexpected oasis. Food was excellent, drinks were excellent, the people and vibe were also excellent. Good hearty vegan food. Lots of options

Five stars all around :) - Edit
Love the ambience, service, and food! Our server, Jen, was great and passionate about the ethos and food of the business. Everything is organic and vegan, which was awesome. There was a great variety in the menu, but for two, we got the veggie plate with the three dips, the messy sloppy, and the Thai peanut soup (that was a special). All were fantastic! The soup was my favorite, with the texture and flavor on point. Very flavorful but definitely not too spicy for my heat-sensitive self. The sloppy sandwich was wonderful too, with the pickles really putting it over the edge. The ginger beer was awesome too—clearly made with real ginger, it was a perfect refreshing palate cleanser! My mom got the iced green tea with agave and lemon, which was excellent and refreshing. I overall cannot say enough praise for this place. Wish I could come back!

Completely vegan and delicious! - Edit
I love that this restaurant is completely vegan! No worry about what is in things or if they are vegan. All options are a go! We got the Mac and cheese, burritos, bowls and some appetizers. Everything was delicious! So good we went multiple times while we were in Colorado Springs.😄

What can I say other than amazing! - Edit
I absolutely love this place. Everything I’ve had from there is phenomenal, but the BLT is definitely a must have. I recently had their nachos the last time I went and that has become one of my new favorites. They always have a different type of soup to try, and none of them disappoint.
