Maté Factor Café - Manitou Springs

Delicious sandwiches (piping hot, so fair warning) that are a good value with lots of unique options. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very inviting. Sit in one of their custom booths and feel like you're in a tavern of Middle Earth while trying some Maté, which they are very proud of and will let you sample first.
