Nightingale Bread brings school lunch to a new level

You guys. I made a big mistake. Like a really big one. If you’ve never been in a pizza coma, you too will probably experience the same pain and pleasure that I had all afternoon long as soon as you hit this AMAZING place I’m about to tell you about. I literally got home from […]

New Features, New Partnerships, Same Fun

I’ve been pretty absent from writing actual blog posts for the past year or so. And I have zero excuses. But that’s changing, and so is Springs Native. As much as I love writing about the food and drink community in Colorado Springs, I do think there’s a space for more of the Colorado Springs lifestyle to be put on display.

Cerberus set to serve Monday

The soft opening of Cerberus will be in full swing starting Monday, and beer and food fans alike should rejoice! The food is outstanding, the beer is some of the best in Colorado Springs and the atmosphere (and patio) is exactly what this city was missing.

School is in session at The Principal’s Office

The Principal’s Office, located inside Ivywild School, has always had stellar bartenders and tasty cocktails, but the food menu was usually a bit hit or miss. Or at least it used to be. I stopped by for their all night Monday happy hour, and of course it turned into a happy four hours because… PO has debuted a new food menu that will make you beg for detention.

Eight months of starvation! Just kidding…

The past year has been one change after another for me when it comes to my personal and work life. And although I have continued to explore the Colorado Springs restaurant scene, unfortunately Springs Native had to take a backseat. There is good news though – summertime is coming up! That means it’s the season to eat and drink on the patio, which is pretty much a sport for me.

Seven things to know about the Broadmoor Seven Falls

After being closed for almost two years, Seven Falls reopened on Thursday renamed the Broadmoor Seven Falls. With a new restaurant and almost $12 million worth of renovations, the local attraction is looking good. I got a sneak peek Wednesday during its grand reopening, and there are a few key things to know before making a trip to the beautiful Colorado Springs spot.

The Cupcake Girls are cupcake queens

If I am going to spend my hard-earned treat calories, I almost always reach for a pizza rather than any sweets. A few months ago a blogger sent my company cupcakes from the Cupcake Girls and my will power flew out the door. The cupcakes were dense, moist and full or flavor.

Don’t wear tight pants to the Denver Biscuit Company.

Don’t wear tight pants to the Denver Biscuit Company.

When my best friend Lauren came to visit Colorado we stayed a night in Denver. When we woke up in the morning, we grabbed breakfast at the Denver Biscuit Company. We walked into the local restaurant rejuvenated from our short jog, but left feeling three pounds heavier from the ridiculously large plates we were served. It was awesome and miserable.

Give it another chance: experiencing Nosh for a second time

Every once in a while my friends find a restaurant that they enjoy and I just don’t care for it. Nosh used to be one of those places, until this past weekend. After a second night of dinner and drinks at the downtown restaurant, I’ve decided I’ll be spending many more happy hours drinking Sangria and munching on salad on their patio.

Odyssey Gastropub begins brunch service and it’s a good thing

I love a good brunch spot but restaurants with a delicious brunch menu as well as a decently priced bottomless mimosa are very limited in Colorado Springs. Odyssey Gastropub started its brunch service just two weeks ago and so far, they’ve done well. It’s a great menu with decent prices and the mimosas are good, but the food is where Odyssey’s creativity shines.
