Dave is truly the best guitar instructor in the region. He directs instruction to the musical genre preferences of the student and provides hands on learning as well as solid theoretical constructs. Both my son and I take lessons from him and have had a lot of fun and skill development under his tutelage.
Dave is awesome! He really knows his stuff, he is a natural teacher and is very friendly and great to be around. It doesn’t matter if your brand new or have played for years he can make you a better player.
Canon City is lucky to have him.
Super nice dude.Very accommodating as and knowledgeable helping me out while I was passing througb
We stopped at this location on our way through town. Our barista’s name was Chase. He was super friendly and made some great suggestions off of the menu. It happened to be my sister’s birthday and when he found out, he offered to pay for her drink. He put happy birthday stickers all over the cup and topped it with colored sugar sprinkles to make it extra special. It was a small gesture that brought a tear to my sister’s eyes. Thank you Chase for one of the best Starbucks experiences we’ve ever had!
Okay so this place Slays the lady there named Gina Was so sweet and nice so she slays and my drink was correct so Slay Gina and Slay Starbucks!
Can’t go wrong with a breakfast blend tea latte with heavy cream and 3 stevia. They do the best latte’s!
Place was clean
People were friendly and helpful
The layout gives you some high tables to perch at, (not my personal fav.) And a bench option along the back wall.
I’m more of a lounger when it comes to sitting for a coffee. So my take away in this arrangement is business, studious, and felt more like a work/ get things done setting. (Which is good for those days you need to be alert and productive).
Atmosphere was relaxed even when super busy. How they pull this off feels like a miracle. You guys rock the chill!
Clean store and friendly staff
Nice place!
I like Starbucks and this one is fairly new (as Starbucks go). It is clean, fast service, clean restrooms. However the music is way too loud if you want to have a conversation without shouting. Oh, and forgot the coconut milk latte, mine was watery and flavorless, no hint of coconut.
Overpriced
Usually this store is phenomenal and the staff is so nice! But the manager Scotty was very rude for some reason today. Snarky if you will. Work on your attitude!
Don’t get me wrong, great customer service and product. Just extremely overpriced and indulgent.
4. The Bean Pedaler
Address: 412 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
An amazing little gem tucked away here in Cañon city. I highly recommend grabbing a dark roast drip coffee paired with one of their delicious breakfast burritos(Sausage, Bacon or Veggie). Guaranteed not to disappoint!
Good drinks, fast service. Will come again
I LOVE this place. It’s my new all-time favorite in town. Alyssa and Erica have made me a coffee snob, now that I have learned that coffees, grown in different regions, with different sourcing techniques, can all have various (and amazing) flavor notes. Who knew?! Starbucks obsessors seriously have no idea what they are missing.
Plus, I get my bike tuned up. Two of the best things a girl could wish for.
Edit: Just got the most magical maple chocolate chip scone here. WOW. I really want to head to Canada now.
Has a hang out atmosphere with a living room type setting area and booths. Great coffee and a small menu. No gluten free options. Great bikes at Good prices. Some special bikes in stock. Located in trendy downtown.
Had scones yesterday and they were both burnt on the top and bottom and undercooked in the center. Made me ill.
The replacement was much better.
Coffee is good, atmosphere is good, light did food fare is also good, nice place.
An ok place to go and have a beverage. I have tried their chai, quiche, veggie burrito and house “drip” coffee. I would give a better rating if it wasn’t for my last visit. The woman working over filled my coffee, didn’t put a lid on it and had me pour my own soy milk. I also noticed the soymilk was expired, pretty chunky stuff. Mind you while I was attempting to pour my own soymilk, put a lid on my drink and grab my burrito I was holding my baby girl. So…I just thought this was super rude.
I purchased bike tire repair kit and serious condescension from the shop. Thanks for making me feel small and a possible thief just because I used my temporary debit card. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.
Overpriced hipster place but nice staff
5. Canon City MUGS
Address: 1520 Royal Gorge Blvd a, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Hands down the best place to eat in Cañon City, and in my opinion, the best breakfast place in Colorado! They have WORLD CLASS pancakes, and the friendliest staff possible. I drive down from the Springs at least once a week for this truly one-of-a-kind place. The owner is one of the kindest and most attentive people I have met, and being a local small business owner myself, this is huge to me! My only complaint, is that Google only allows 5 stars, and Mugs deserves far more!
Beat coffee. Way better than Starbucks! We even ordered to go cups after breakfast
Salads are huge and Reuben sandwich truly amazing! Great service too!
Nice place to relax
Bloody mary good . Steak salad poor. The steak was full of fat and gristle. For cow country it was a shame. Garnish was 3 onion rings cold and soggy
Parking: Tight
Relaxing atmosphere
I am incredibly upset and frustrated with how terrible customer service is at Mugs. Every time I’ve gone they have been incredibly understaffed and too busy to handle the business they have, giving poor service to everyone who is there. Even though Mugs has one of my favorite sandwiches in town, I have refused to go there because of the continual bad service, made even more obvious by my 15+ years in restaurant management.
I recently bought some gift certificates to benefit the Canon City GATE Program and thought I would just order food To Go food so I would not have to deal with the poor service. I called over and over and over for 30 minutes, both the 5348 number and the 3303 number, and neither phone number was ever answered!! The 5348 number stated they were on the other line with another customer but I would literally hang up and instantly call back and get the same message for the entire 30 minutes. According to my call log, I called 26 times from 10:45-11:15, not even lunch rush yet, and received the same message every time about being on the other line with another customer. I am incredibly disappointed and while I would like to help the GATE program in the future, I will never buy gift certificates for this poorly run restaurant again.
Do Better
2 – 1/8″-1/4″ thick slices of meatloaf, 1/2cup of broccoli and mash potatoes does not equal 16$ thanks I will not be back. Save your money buy a chicken

6. Sour Milk Productions
Address: 519 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Great guy to work with, and at a great rate. Thanks reece!
Since meeting Reece and his team he works with I have nothing bad to say everyone is so friendly and really put time and effort into making your vision come to life better than you could ever think.
Professional and honestly really fun, all of my sessions so far have been home runs
7. Redbox
Address: 912 Royal Gorge Blvd, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Great service they even help show me where and how to put my parts on
Great,had what I needed.
Very helpful
Good seevice good parts avaliabity
In whatever town, Oreillys works
I called and told the manager I was barely going to make it before 9 and to please not close early. I got there with a minute to spare and the door was locked and they wouldn’t answer the phone. Worst public relations ever
The quality of their merchandise leaves a lot to be desired.
These people sell junk and they dont back it up
9. Redbox
Address: 1609 Fremont Dr, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
This is a head shop , with lots to see .You can find anything from pipes to clothing in this extraordinary store , they also carry a large inventory of cutlery and hatchets , and some amazing crystal formations and rocks , this is definitely a place to visit if you’re in Canon city .
First time in there. Very cool place
Great place with a variety of things to look at. You could be there for hours. Reasonably priced
Awesome staff.
Lot’s of awesome vapes to chose from, staff was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Went in here just to check it out. A whole lot of bongs and pipes and stuff of that nature. This place has clothing much more affordable and reasonable than most other gift shop type places in Colorado that I’ve been to.
Radio commercial is irritating.
One of the staff members does nothing but follow and stare at you it makes shopping very uncomfortable. I would of purchased something if I didn’t have someone breathing down my neck the whole time. I wonder how many sales they have lost due to this guy.
Super rude, couldn’t be bothered with costumer service, prices are hidden, music too loud and I will never go in there again. Pathetic place.
12. AutoZone Auto Parts
Address: 1811 Fremont Dr Un, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
They have great customer service and make sure you get the correct part.
I was evacuating a wildfire and they gave me 10% of my purchase.Helpful & friendly staff.
Was very good. The employ was very helpful. Help me get what I needed.
The
Seems to be the same and most parts stores and most retailers had to order everything I needed other than that staff super helpful super friendly highly recommend this location
Warranties can be honored nationwide without receipt if properly registered in their computers.
Still like the AutoZone warranties. However today’s experience in this particular store wasn’t so great. Came in earlier to try to get parts but what I needed wasn’t available. When going through to make sure I got the right parts the clerk got kind of cranky with me as I was trying to keep him from selling me the wrong parts. Got the parts ordered and got a call a few hours later that my parts had arrived. Specifically asked if both parts were there before I made the 10 plus mile drive to the store. Got to the store and they couldn’t find my parts at all. And when they did find them only one part had arrived.
Call I was understandably upset. The clerk had placed the order earlier was getting pretty pissy with me. Saying “we’re trying to help you” with an attitude. But there was no help to be had, the part wasn’t there. Now I don’t know what to do. Do I drive home and maybe get a call halfway there to make the trip again? Or do I sit around here for who knows how long to see if it arrives?
I guess I just should have made the 30-mile trip to the other store and picked it up myself.
They really don’t listen, and will insist that they can guarantee they are sure that this is the part that your looking for even though they messed up your order over seven times and doesn’t even try to compensate for your lost time or frustration and try to give you a AutoZone card that has your refund that can’t be spent anywhere but their. I paid with cash and with receipt in hand and still hand you a card saying that’s policy. Never again… O’Reilly’s has better price’s and customer service.
Rude customer service
They didn’t have the parts we needed. Maybe next time.
13. Cheryl’s Book Nook
Address: 404 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Great place with a great lady, Cheryl. Has just about everything on the literary menu you could ask for. If she doesn’t have it, she’ll get it for you. Thanks Cheryl!
Amazing people, and amazing selections. I took my daughter today and we picked out some books for her, and I grabbed a couple books for myself. There is also a lady that makes these awesome bookmarks. I believe that Cheryl said the lady is a college student who is studying art. They are really pretty. I will definently make this a regular stop for my book shopping needs. 🙂
I like this place tons of books here
Lots of old books, great read.
Difficult to find specific books but the staff is helpful.
Old school book store, friendly staff.
First time in the store i was impressed by the large collection of books. Maybe i caught Cheryl on a bad day or something but she seemed rather annoyed and she exibited a sort of “just buy something or get out” sort of attitude.
I’ve been here before and enjoyed it, Cheryl herself is really nice and enjoyed a chat with her once and all but today (June 4th.) Whatever lady was in there working today was really rude.
Not sure why, she asked me twice if I needed any help and I said “No but thank you” and she walked off, mumbling under her breath for whatever reason.
I was definitely after some stuff and a potential buyer but after that, not sure if I would want to go back.
Don’t grumble about your customers when they come in the store to browse for a moment in hopes of finding something.
If the lady has such a problem with someone browsing then maybe she needs to quit and find a new job.
Horrible place disorganized and there is nothing but romantic novels in there even in the historical section of the store it has romance novels plus everything is in a destroyed state
14. Goodwill Store & Donation Center
Address: 910 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
I went to Goodwill today happen to win the raffle drawing and it was great
Love goodwill
For those people who think the prices are high, you need to go to the mall stores for comparison. The prices at Goodwill are excellent, I’ve found some good bargains.
Always a friendly and clean goodwill
As w all thrift stores, its hit or miss on what you are looking for. I’ve had good luck here though. Specials and special days. And staff friendly. Check em out!
No dressing rooms available. Public restrooms open. Nice stuff and organized.
Purchased headset and keyboard for my daughter and due to COVID-19, she wasn’t able to see is headset would fit. The employee said that we had 14 days to return the items if they didn’t work out. She failed to inform me that we could only get in-store credit. So basically I am being forced to only use MY money at their store. This is supposedly due to COVID but, since they simply put the items back to be resold, I can’t for the life of me figure out why COVID would effect returns except they are using that as an excuse to ensure that you spend that money at there store only. Also, how exactly does COVID effect you trying items at a thrift store to ensure they fit when those items are donated by individuals who had previously worn them? And no, Goodwill does not wash anything prior to putting them on the floor to be sold. I know this because the manager informed me that they didn’t. If the clothes smell bad, he said they spray them with Febreeze. So again, why can’t you try items prior to purchasing them? There’s no freaking reason. Absolutely none!
Very clean and organized. EDIT 1/28/2021- No social distancing, no consideration, no compassion!!! Felix, manager on duty said its my responsibility to social distance, having a customer not care while in line, I had to leave. I called, and he said he hadn’t heard anything about it, but we, and he, we’re all at registers. We had to avoid EMPLOYEES as well. Being immune compromised, I normally go the Goodwill, assuming they had extra understanding of disabilities, but he said I should have ALL responsibility for social distancing. Well, no, and Goodwill no longer will have my business or donations. When I said that he’s obviously unconcerned for people like me, since I was inside Goodwill, why should I be expected to ask customers to maintain distancing, I am not an employee, but none on them knew how to either, but demanding I take matters into my own hands, he said thanks for putting words in my mouth, and hung up on me.
Never, ever buy anything that requires electricity, they sell coffee makers that DO NOT work the moment you plug it in. Don’t try and get a refund, they only give Store Credit. Pretty good scam they got going.
15. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 3105 US-50, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Mom and I have been shopping at this Walmart for 16 years and love it! We are especially appreciative of the Pick Up option during this stressful time and want to thank the very kind employees that helped us today! You all are GREAT!!!!!
Who doesnt love wal mart .just sad that I cant get a handicapped buggy in between the clothing racks. You guys should really consider handicapped people when arranging the racks
They are in the process of remodeling and updating this Walmart so new features are coming this way.
Be prepared to use self check out.
Great place for every thing shopping.
So now eggs are 10 dollars a dozen and NOW we have to buy your bags to take our groceries out. Thanks for nothing WalMart
Rude folks that’s all I can say
Very hard to navigate thru the store because of all the boxes of merchandise needing to be stocked. It is also almost impossible to get help from an associate. It takes forever to check out and usually the cashiers are grumpy because they have had to deal with all the grumpy customers that hate going here. It is also annoying that at least one item on my list is always out of stock, no matter what it is
16. Autumn’s Attic
Address: 431 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Grate people really appreciate that they are willing to deal with someone with lots of disabilities
Cute shop! Unique items that were fun to browse. Shop attendant was very kind. Will definitely return!
Edit: tried to stop in today and could not due to the fact There was zero parking anywhere near the store :/
Sunday I was looking around the store and received the greatest help from a lady named Bev, I Think. She spent time explaining in great detail about a product I bought from Autumn’s Attic. Thank you for having great customer service.
Oh my gosh, they had just a little bit of everything. I could’ve spent hours in there. And the staff was so friendly and helpful. Parking is good very well organized inside everything I was looking at was clearly labeled on price. I bought a bunch of books for my granddaughter, that were very unusual, a jar of buttons, candy, a wooden car, and a mason jar.
17. Chrysalis Consignments
Address: 515 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
I love the purse and two gorgeous tops! You are amazing!
Never got a call back.. She had several dresses she was supposed to sell for me months ago.. Celeste and I had a conversation this morning.. SOMEHOW SHE DIDN’T GET MY VOICE-MAIL.. I’LL BE THE 1ST TO ADMIT WHEN I’M WRONG.. (Cell phones are not what they’re cracked up to be) I love Crystal’s and we’ll still be doing business together.. I didn’t erase original review because I want people to know I’M HONEST AND I WILL ADMIT TO MY MISTAKES AND OWN IT..
Great selection and great prices. Fun shopping.
Pricey for a consignment store.
18. Atomic Vapor Vape Shop
Address: 612 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
The man who helped was efficient and awesome , very great place to go
Great selection, the staff is super helpful, the store is clean, bright, and nicely decorated, and they have an adorable dog! I went in for a Nord coil, and there were two or three people ahead of me and they still had me in and out in five minutes. And again, I cannot stress this enough: cute dog.
Have good juice
Had exactly what I needed on my road trip. Offered me a card for free shipping. Reasonable price.
Talked with owner and got squared away with a small problem I was having with points but was very easy to talk with and made me feel welcomed
Great customer service and good juice flavors.
Not very knowledgeable but very cheap
Went in to get juice and some batteries, and was horrified when the employees were selling to underage kids! There were children highschool range age wise relaxing and hanging out in the store.They didnt I.D. anyone at all. Their juice and mods are overpriced and they still mixed outside of a clean room!?!?! Isn’t that illegal now?
Will not being going back, and from reading the other reviews, I cant see that most are either fake, or bought. customer service is terrible, knowledge is worse because even if they dont know how to answer the question, they just go off the cuff and give false info.
small selection, overpriced, children being sold to, poor customer service
They say that they are all about customer service and I do think they put an effort into it. However their knowledge of products and of how customer service actually works leads me to believe that they need to a few years practice to achieve the level of customer service they claim. Nice guys, good place to shop, but make sure you know what you want before you walk through the door.
19. Happy Endings Caboose Cafe
Address: 403 Water St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Food and service was excellent! Cute place, good atmosphere.
The food was great, plenty of seating outdoors and the place is just so cute!
Breakfast burrito was very filling. Atmosphere was terrific.
Kinda pricey though.
This was a cool little spot to eat breakfast in an old historical train! We had the french toast and breakfast sandwich! It was a bit on the pricey side too. The staff was super nice. Ended up leaving with cold coffee which was not that yummy but I had to finish it, no wasting my food!
Went here at 2:25pm this afternoon to find it locked up and closed. What’s up with the businesses in Canon City only opening certain weekends and less weekdays? It’s an adjustment from living near cities that have their standard 6 days opening a week.
Once I can get the opportunity to visit on my next day off, I’ll make a proper “review” >__>
On June 1st I called to place an order for the Caboose cafe. The web page shows current hours and a menu. I was connected with a ticket agent, who had no idea about the cafe and couldn’t answer any of my questions.
$9 for a 12oz hot chocolate and 16oz cup of weak mediocre coffee!
Not a latte or cappuccino but plain cup of coffee!
Stopped in for lunch. Open flags outside. Walked inside and were told they are closed. Tuesday at 1pm
20. Kaleidoscope Inspiration
Address: 602 Main St, Cañon City, CO 81212 , Cañon City , Colorado , United States
Wonderful staff. Amazing store. It is my happy place.
Cute store with various types of unique hand crafted items and one of a kind souvenir gifts. We had fun visiting and will return before we head back home.
I just moved to the area and waited for a nice day to come out and take a walk downtown it was 4 p.m. most places for clothes luckily this Shop is open which I passed many times in one to come in so lovely so much stuff in their great gift ideas I got these fingerless gloves they’re handmade so beautiful the owner was so sweet she took me to show me the scars that this lady made and then we talked all about all the different incenses they had there and smudging items I will definitely be back for Christmas to make little gift baskets for everyone
Cool store, name is misleading not manny kaleidoscopes
My daughter and I just left the store. We walked by a lady, about 1 1/2 feet from the register, on our way to buy our purchase. After waiting almost ten minutes, she stops what she was doing and decided to wait on us……had to have been intentional as we were literally right beside her waiting 🙁
My girlfriend loves this place and usually the staff is very nice, she’s been a loyal customer and I’ve bought her many things here. Last time she went by herself, however, the lady at the front was rude to her, telling her that people have been opening toys in the back, and if they catch her doing that, she’ll be banned. She had a backpack with her but she put it outside willingly when asked. I personally don’t think there was any reason for that.
