Reviews for Marigold Cafe & Bakery in Colorado Springs, CO

Great desserts, service varies from server to server (Rhett and Isabella are usually good), and the food is decent but it can be... inconsistent. A while ago they were serving a phenomenal pork sandwich as a special, which would be a great addition to thepermanent menu. However, some other times, like today, there have been more significant issues with seasoning and proteintemperature. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves but as a background I will say that the burger was supposed to bemedium temp. The first time is was 100% medium rare and lacked seasoning (didn’t think to snap a photo) and upon re-firing itwas seriously over cooked and offensively salty. When we tried to have a conversation with Gus (kitchen manager?) - not to getany more free meals; we were just offering pretty reasonable feedback - he just wanted to give us more free meals. But that isuncomfortable, especially if it’s aimed at ending the conversation. More than “getting our money’s worth” this was aboutavoiding this issue in the future for everyone, and preventing a potential food intoxication. He insisted that they’d neverhad any proteins sent back to the kitchen, which sounds very unlikely and it felt like a disappointing, defensive response. Ifyou read reviews far enough, you’ll see that some others have suggested only going there for desserts and maybe an appetizerand a glass of wine, and I would absolutely agree with them. Read more

We have shared birthdays, baby showers, graduation parties, date nights, and most recently my daughter’s going away party at... Marigold Cafe & Bakery. My employees anticipate a cake (fruit tart) from here with a chocolate plaque with their name on it forevery anniversary. This is the absolutely most recognizable establishment in Colorado Springs. The team is always a delight andthe owner is obviously there for the costumers. The food is to die for, especially the perfectly esthetic and deliciousdesserts. Thank you Marigold Cafe for always going above and beyond. Read more

Where has this place been hiding!? What an amazing first experience at Marigold Cafe & Bakery. I was wowed at every course,... served great wine, sent home with goodies, and made feel special by the owner himself. Gus and the entire bar staff (where I sattonight) thank you so much. A perfect night I didn’t know I needed. I will definitely be back again and again. My wonderfuldesserts are not pictured, because I ate them too quickly before snagging a picture, oops! The raspberry cheesecake and tiramisuwere devine. Read more

Amazing! We just visited the bakery part (it's mostly restaurant with a small bakery near the entrance) and everything was... EXCELLENT! Breads were flaky and delicious, and the eclairs were classic french-style ... just lightly sweet. We'll be visitingagain before we have to head home! Read more

We stopped here while we were traveling through but also on a referral from another traveler. When you enter, there is a desert... case with all kinds of cakes and pies that look incredible and there is also a bar at the entrance. This is a very busyrestaurant but it was noticeable that most of the people eating were local and high percentage probably over 65+. I ordered thespecial of the day, salmon and shrimp. The salmon and shrimp were cooked perfectly as were the sautéed mushroom's. My wife hadthe Beef Bourguignon and it too was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I had a piece raspberry cheesecake and my wife had alemon tart and both were very good. Service was outstanding. Read more

It was my first time there. We arrived a half hour before the dining room opened, without reservations. Fortnite for us, there... was ONE table not reserved. I felt a bit of sticker shock, looking over the menu. This is not a cheap place to eat. However thefood was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was plated perfectly, with good portions. Plenty of leftovers, which the waiterboxed up. The waitstaff was very attentive to our needs and pleasant. Desserts are superb, so be prepared to have troubledeciding. Be sure to make reservations, they are very busy. Read more

I was in the mood for dessert so I decided to try the Marigold Café & Bakery, I was not disappointed. The hardest decision I... had was which items to choose out from the amazing display of baked items. I ordered several dessert items and they were alldelicious. My personal favorite was the Frasier, which is a cross between a strawberry shortcake and a white cake. The staffwas extremely friendly, kind and helpful. I will definitely go back for dessert, also I will try their normal dining menu. Ifyou have a sweet tooth, this is definitely the place to go. Read more
