One Haven

One Haven is the only cafe I’ve found in Colorado Springs where everything is entirely gluten-free. When I came here to get dinner and I found out every thing on the menu was celiac safe, I almost cried. And the prices were reasonable. The cafe is open late for people who want to hang out or play table top games and they sell handmade things like 3D printed stuff. And they play Lord of the Rings lofi in the background, which makes the vibes immaculate. I’m literally so happy this place exists and I will definitely be back!

Big time recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed spot, somewhere to eat and play games at the same time, or anyone newer-ish to MtG. The employees are incredibly warm and friendly! They were happy to help with anything and everything despite my socially awkward phrasing :) . I'm not a coffee person so I can't comment on that, but the sandwich I ordered was quite tasty and everything comes in nice mugs and plates so they've got that vibe down. Based on the other comments it seems like things here are gluten free, and it probably says a lot about the quality that I didn't even notice! It's clean, quiet, and in a good part of town. Just note that it can be a bit hard to find since they only recently opened and haven't got a sign out front yet! A big thing here is their connection with board and card games, primarily magic. They run the usual friday night and sporadic-throughout-the-week events, but the best ones from my perspective are pioneer and pauper. Every other place in town is almost exclusively commander players, which is great and all, but it can be a struggle to find anyone who plays other formats as a result. It's awesome to have a spot for some more niche formats, especially when these events are on days other than Friday so you aren't forced to choose (which, by the way, pauper is the best 60-card format and also happens to be incredibly cheap to get into, you should try it!). Commander is still something people do here (it's 2025, who doesn't carry a commander deck on them at all times?), but I really appreciate that they put effort into supporting the other groups that don't have near-unlimited options for gathering places. Regarding card product, what you can find here is surprisingly good. They have a "booth", for lack of a better term, with just tons of bulk singles that you can peruse through and buy. Other stores generally don't bother with the cheap commons or niche rares, but there are TONS of them here. If you're building pauper or just trying to find something slightly more obscure, it's often a pain in the butt to get the cards locally. Here though, there's so much selection that I've managed to get a straight up stack of cards I've been struggling to find for weeks! One of the guys also has a thing for brewing decks and sells pre-built commander and pokemon decks (at good prices too!). If you're newer and still in the process of building up a collection, then this is hands-down the best spot in town to find things you'll need. Grab a coffee, look at some cards, talk a bit with the barista, it's an awesome setup!

Really good quality coffee, delicious chicken soup made fresh daily, and entire menu is gluten free. Plenty of spaces to sit & stay a while during the day, lots of local artwork displayed, and events happening most nights.
