Brunch So Hard: Denver Brunchfest

Denver BrunchFest was like a personal challenge to see how many mimosas I could drink and just how hard I could brunch. I got super sunburned and had a hangover by 5 p.m. but it was totally worth it.

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.

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.
