BJ's Velvet Freeze is the BEST hole-in-the-wall in town for soft serve ice cream. Locally owned and operated, it is a local favorite (and a personal family favorite for us). Open seasonally.

Do NOT miss a sunset at Patty Jewett's bar and grill. Eating & drinking on the patio, overlooking the golf course & Pikes Peak, is something you MUST do. You can even hit a ball or 2 while there.

The BEST green chili in town! Get a smothered burrito or a daily special! You will not be disappointed. This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is family-owned, so their hours vary and it's hard to find a seat. Plan to take it to go, and then if you get lucky you'll be able to snag a place in the tiny building, which you will probably share with another family. Line is usually out the door!
