Five Star Food Stop - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Candace

We went here after a date night last weekend and literally 15 minutes before they closed (only wanted some icecream). Considering how close it was until closing time, these gentleman were extremely nice, accommodating and the milkshake was amazing. The guy also offered us some freeze dried skittles to try, and to me, that was the cherry on top. While they had every reason to be annoyed (how late we arrived after I’m sure a busy weekend), they were quite the opposite. We’ll be back to try the pizza and garlic knots for sure!

Updated review:
Went back for the garlic knot chicken bacon ranch sandwich and potato wedges 10/10. Extremely well seasoned and potato wedges were super hot and crunchy (just like I like it)!

Carnivore pizza was extremely tasty and fresh tasting. 9/10 only because I thought it could’ve had a bit more sauce on it, however the pizza was very light but surprisingly fulfilling.

Great find in hidden location. Seemed like a sketchy location at first, in the back of a shopping complex, but was actually super clean, and well maintained. We bought pizza, but there was also an ice cream shop, other snacks, and a section dedicated entirely to local products, e.g., salsas, lotions, sourdough breads, sauces, etc. Lots of seating and tables accessible to wheel chairs indoors, and some outdoors also. Pizza was thin, NY-style, and didn't disappoint... one of the closest to the real thing we've had outside NY-NJ. Top 2 pizza places we've tried so far in Colorado Springs. A new favorite for us.

Both sides of this place were awesome! We had pizza and garlic knots. The ranch was GREAT! The ice cream and candy side... The owner (I think) was VERY helpful!! Samples definitely helped us decide! He even explained some of the process which was kinda cool. Not a cheap stop (we bought a lot) but well worth it and good to support local!

I had never heard of this place, but searched for "desserts" in Google Maps and found it. It only had 22 reviews, so appeared to be new and we definitely wanted to try it out...wow, are we glad we did!!

First, it was a little tricky to find because it's out of the way and a behind other buildings...but the building is new and nice, there's enough parking, and we had no trouble getting in or served. The inside is a little bare (the business is very new), but very tidy and clean.

We went in for the custard, but they also have pizza and calzones, which we'll try next time.

The custard was excellent and the owner was very friendly and nice. We sampled a number of flavors - all of which were very creamy and tasty. I landed on a 1/2 and 1/2 bowl of Sweet Cream and Cookies and Cream custard and my wife had Strawberry and Cookies and Cream. Our 2 year old even got a small scoop, which he was thrilled about!

There isn't much seating and it's pretty basic, but that's exactly what I would expect from a very new business.

All in all, excellent! I would highly recommend this place and we will absolutely be back for more!

What a great local gem! Our softball team is visiting from Tennessee and our group of 30 showed up for lunch. They were able to accommodate our entire group. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Michele even made my daughter a special cheesecake that we picked up later in the day. You can't get that from a chain store! We would definitely recommend stopping by and supporting these local business owners!

What began as a fluke touch on my phone while Google Maps was open turned into an experience with the nicest people and most delicious ice cream and food! We were visiting friends in the Springs and ended up coming over to try this crazy sounding place with stellar reviews. 5 Star does not disappoint! The kids loved and devoured their ice cream (Mint Cookies & Cream dish and a Candy Shop Shake) while we enjoyed delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned wings, garlic knots (with fresh roasted garlic on top!), bread sticks, and authentic cannolis.

I got to speak with The Brownie Queen for a bit and am so impressed with the commitment to featuring local goods and creative foods. Wishing you all much success and will plan to visit again on our next trip to the Springs! Would love to find the mobile ice cream van or a food truck up in the Denver area (especially Highlands Ranch if you can!)

My daughter and I went to check this place out today because we love supporting local small businesses. We shared a calzone that was fresh and delicious. We also got to sample all the custard ice cream, which was so creamy and refreshing. We ended up going with the mint cookies and cream. I also bought some peach habanero jam for my husband. There are many more things we’d like to try and we will absolutely be back!
