3 reviews for Spice of Life and Ingredientsemporium
We got some sandwiches and drinks here to-go, on our way back home to the Denver area, after spending the morning in Garden of the Gods. The vegetarian sandwich I got was amazing. It was warm and melty - it had roasted vegetables on it, and I chose Provolone Cheese.
The sides are Lays Chips or 2-3 different cold salads. I think they had a pasta, a 3 bean, and a potato salad the days I was there.
It was fun as a foodie to peek around in there, as they had lots of interesting foods and spices for sale. I wasn't able able to browse that much as I had my three young kids with me, but I did noticed high quality jams and chutneys, an interesting selection of salts including a black salt. I purchased some Agave Nectar sticks, and grabbed a few of the individually wrapped specialty chocolates they had by the counter when I paid. These were excellent "mommy treats" for the drive home. :)
They also had an interesting selection of drinks - not just your typical sodas, bottle waters and energy drinks (thought they do have those too). I got a house made iced tea, a friend got a ginger beer, and someone else got an Izze. I noticed they also had lime and orange Pelligrino.
If you are walking around Manitou Springs, and want a tasty sandwich, in a quirky, mountain deli, then this is your place.
( Note: I can't remember if this is Wheelchair accessible or not...it seems like there were 2-3 steps up to walk into the store, but I can't remember for sure. You might want to call to ask)
We got these tasty sandwiches to-go and took them on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.
Cookies were ok - a bit dry.
I enjoyed a wonderful mug of chicken tortilla soup, genoa salami & swiss sandwich and chai tea here. Looks like it gets quite busy over the lunch hour. I found a perfect spot at the counter overlooking Maniotu Ave. and enjoyed some people watching. Very laid back atmosphere with super friendly staff! Two thumbs up!
