Worth a detour
Switchback Coffee Roasters
Colorado Springs · Shooks Run, United States
Why it’s on the route
Switchback began around 2010 with Brandon DelGrosso roasting small batches in his garage, before moving into a storefront and roastery at North Institute and Boulder in Shooks Run. The café offers pour-over and cold brew, with espresso pulled from the single origin of the month or the Golden Age Blend. A second café and roastery brew bar operates in Hillside.
