The tall…read moreceilings and round lights give the space a soft glow, and the concrete floors keep it grounded. The bar almost resembles something you might find in a small European hotel, which may suggest they are aiming for a slightly upscale tone, though it never feels pretentious. The seating is varied, with small tables and retro chairs that seem intentionally chosen rather than bought in bulk. The spacing is better than most coffee shops, which makes it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The back area opens up even more, and the soft drapery adds a touch of personality that appears to hint at events or just a bit of flair. The staff continues to be the standout for me. Everyone I spoke with was kind in a way that felt natural, and they knew the menu well enough to help me navigate dairy free options. I usually order the avocado toast on focaccia because it is consistently fresh. The bread looks oversized at first but is airy and soft, and the avocado and radish topping feels simple in the best way. The matcha made with water has also become a go to since it tastes smooth and well-bodied without that chalky, thin finish some places have. My partner and I visited during their Dia de Los Muertos weekend and tried a few themed items. Everything was good, and they were quick to suggest dairy free choices. Prices seem fair, even with the general bump everywhere lately. The only thing I wish they had more of is outlets. It is still a nice place to work for a couple of hours, but coming with a charged laptop helps. The overall vibe is calm with just enough energy to keep the space from feeling sleepy. It works well for coffee dates, casual catch ups, or solo work, especially for anyone who prefers a relaxed atmosphere without too much chaos.

Very cool artsy psychedelic vibe, with lots of comfortable seating in a few different rooms. The barista who took my order seemed friendly, and they called my name loudly enough when my drink was ready that I could hear it from the next room. I had a piece of strawberry bread and an iced spiced chai, both really good! The strawberry bread had this fresh, rustic homemade taste to it that I loved, and it was a huge slice. The chai was appropriately strong - the spicy chai is made with soy milk, but the tea was rich enough that I didn't really pick up on the soy flavour. I could tell it was proper chai and not something made from a packaged concentrate. I wish I lived in Fort Collins so I could come here all the time!

They have ceremonial matcha too, though I didn't really look at the matcha selection. There's something for you whether you're unfamiliar with different teas or a seasoned tea-drinker. The person that helped me with the loose leaf was very knowledgeable about the different teas. We had a great conversation about what we liked to drink, and they gave me a sample of a tea they thought I'd like based on what we talked about in addition to the three teas I bought. I went home with an ounce of Nepal Pokhara green, China lingering clouds green, sticky rice tuo-cha (pu-er), and a sample of Glenburn moonshine Darjeeling oolong. I haven't actually gotten to opening the two green teas yet but the pu-er and oolong are fantastic. On the teahouse side of the shop, you can get any of the loose leaf teas prepared for you, tea lattes, matcha, bubble tea, and some baked goods to go with your drink. I had a ceremonial matcha bowl (usucha). The matcha was good, but if you're just going to get one drink there, I think my recommendation would be to go with one of the loose leaf teas instead, because the matcha, while prepared very well, was just a run of the mill matcha, and they have so many unique teas. If you're in Fort Collins and have an interest in teas, this is a must-visit spot!

Sorry Charlie, this place is slipping fast! 1st. and most important, while waiting at the counter to order the guy working the counter won't say anything! Nothing! Zip! That's just plain RUDE! Evan if you are busy say something, let me know you see me, which you did! 2nd, this place isn't that nice a place, awful patio, tables so small it's hard to have coffee and computer on table. 3rd. Poor ReFill Policy, 1st drip refill is not free! 4Th Computer Password was some 12 digit password all in numbers! NUMBERS, who in the heck can order coffee, find a table with a plug, set up computer and now remember the stupid password! By the way, good luck getting a table with a plug! So in unless you're from a small town in Wyoming, this place couldn't earn a high mark. Especially in Fort Collins where we are bless with a zillion great coffeehouses. read more

Well, recently on my way home from working out at the Aztlan Center I was thinking about lunch and decided to turn the corner at Maple and whaddayaknow, there was a spot right there. I was hoping it would be more Jewish deli as in pastrami piled high on rye than bagel shop, but it is what it is. I decided to try one of their specials which must have been off of their spring menu since I don't see it online right now. I think it might have been called the Addison? Egg salad and potato chips on a bagel. I love egg salad but hadn't ever thought about putting potato chips on it - genius. I think my friends from NYC would probably say the bagels aren't chewy enough, but I think the not-so-chewy texture is just fine for a sandwich - who needs egg salad squirting out when you take a bite? I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink - the server went through a few options and hit upon an iced matcha latte - that sounded like it would hit the spot. Relative to other places one can get an iced matcha latte I think the one at CYM is a pretty good value - a large cup, not too much ice, and tasty. While it didn't take long for my order to come up, I will say that the interior of the shop is jarringly pink - I dunno, bright enough to put me on edge like someone was kvetching at me. Maybe that's the point?
