Poor Richard's Downtown Colorado Springs

The Poor Richard’s Complex is located in downtown Colorado Springs and features six unique businesses under one roof (the only of its kind in the country). Our restaurant, café, toystore and bookstore have been locally voted “Best of” in multiple categories like Salads, Soups, Pizza, Café, Wine Bar, Toystore, Cards, Restaurant for Kids, Restaurant for People Watching and Local Bookstore.

Our two restaurants serve wholesome, tasty, high quality food and hearty portions at reasonable prices.

Our retail selection features interactive and fun toys for kids and smart and urban gifts, books and cards for grownups – all at reasonable prices. In fact, a majority of what we sell in the complex is under $10.

Throughout the complex, we provide a warm “make-your-self-at-home” atmosphere for all ages. Our seven businesses function on their own and as a family. You can dine in the bookstore, have your child play in the play area of the restaurant, or read a book anywhere you would like.

All of our businesses are accessible from Tejon Street (between Platte and Boulder) and connect to one another inside. There is extensive sidewalk seating and a large back patio accessible from Rico’s and the Restaurant, where we grow many of our own herbs and greens. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the complex.

Poor Richard’s accepts all major credit cards, cash, the Colorado College Gold Card, and the Downtown Gift Card. No checks, please. Gift cards are available for redemption and purchase in the Café and the Restaurant and are valid for anything in the Bookstore, Rico’s, Little Richard’s, or the Restaurant!
