I kept it simple and got a chocolate round. The consistency of the donut was a little dense and tasted almost stale and flavorless. I ended up tossing the last few bites, which is a first. My husband got a wild card donut, their peaches and cream raised, and it was a standout star. The texture and consistency of the donut were classic, light. The flavors seemed balanced, and not too sweet despite the peachy-o ring on top. If all the donuts compared to this one, this review would be incredibly different. But, the other 3 were all duds, so much that I'm curious if by accident we chose the day oldies. We won't be back for donuts, however, do want to explore the chicken and other bites another time.

Excellent coffee, seriously good food, and the staff has been incredibly kind and welcoming each time.

Definitely becoming one of my go-to places in Fort Collins.

Every cookie we tried at Mary's Mountain Cookies was just as good or better than any other place I've been. These aren't your super-thick, pudgy, crumble-style cookies -- they're closer to a normal thickness, but about six inches in diameter. The selection is really good. It's not just your standard chocolate chip and sugar cookies -- they had all sorts of combinations, including cookie sandwiches with filling. In fact, we enjoyed them so much the first day that we went back the next day for more. They also have day-old cookies on discount, cookies in the freezer, and it looks like they do birthday cookies as well. Peanut butter dipped in dark chocolate -- fine. My wife really liked it -- it's one of her favorite cookies. I thought the peanut butter taste could've been a little stronger. The cookie was moist and not bland, it just could've been a touch better. Turtle cookie -- one of my top 20 cookies of all time. This is actually why I went back the next day -- to get another one. It hit every mark: the right amount of sweetness, the right amount of crunch, the right amount of gooeyness. One of those cookies where you go, "yep, that is a good cookie" -- and it leaves you wanting more. It's right on the main strip, so parking might be iffy if you're in Old Town Fort Collins -- but if you're walking around that area and looking for a sweet treat, 100% recommend this place. Would recommend, and would return.

**MY EXPERIENCE:**…read more Dive into Mary's Mountain Cookies, where every step feels like a delightful escape! The oversized, imaginative cookies are a visual and taste sensation, each flavor bursting with personality. Picture this: a cheeky bicycle hanging on the wall, embodying Fort Collins' quirky spirit. From the moment you walk in, you're swept up in a wave of nostalgia and flavor. Our first visit was nothing short of magical, and even miles away, those cookies remain etched in memory. If you're in town, this is where you need to be! **HISTORY & CONTEXT:** Mary's Mountain Cookies has been a cornerstone of Fort Collins, delighting locals and visitors alike with its creative flair and unmatched quality. It's more than just a cookie shop--it's an experience, a slice of local culture wrapped in buttery perfection. Whether you're a die-hard cookie fan or seeking a distinctive Colorado adventure, Mary's stands as a must-see treasure. I will be back!

We got three truffles, raspberry, peppermint and candied ginger. We also got a French hot chocolate (made with half a bar of chocolate and whole milk, as opposed to the sipping chocolate which is made from half a bar of chocolate and heavy cream!) It was so rich and delicious! The staff was full of information about the offerings, although they seemed only mildly interested in sharing their wisdom on this particular day. They aren't currently letting folks sit inside to eat and drink (they have signage that shares that they have a little one with chronic illness who they are trying to keep healthy) but they have a few chairs and tables outside and it was a lovely day so that is exactly what we did! For a person looking for inexpensive okay chocolate, keep walking but for those with discerning taste buds- you are in for a special treat!

This fine sunny and warm Sunday morning found us hopping in (again, we came last year) to La Crêperie to fight the crêpe withdrawals--it's been too long. Interior is very "Parisian cafe", period art, TVs showing videos of the pastry chefs doing their thing. She ordered a hot chocolate to start, and a Parisian crêpe (berries, whip cream, raspberry coulis). I ordered a galette (think square envelope-crêpe) from the savory side. I'd had it last visit and had been looking forward to a redux. I ordered the Professeur Steve, capers, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach and brie, which arrived with smoked salmon arranged like a rose at opposing corners (keeps it cold). Oh man, this brie-gooing mushroomy sweet-caramelly onion spinach umami explosion goes perfectly taken in a bite with the salmon. Addiction sated; withdrawals saved off until next June's visit. Wife's crêpe was delicious--everything sweet-toothers love. Hot chocolate is real. Like not from a packet but from a chocco chunk and paid labor somewhere nearby. Whipped cream was real, and thick enough that it could have been sliced and served on its own. Absolutely freaking delicious. Love this place. See you in a year!

In time, a girl appears from behind a wall. Lethargic, dreary-eyed, non-committal. "I'll be with you," she says to the couple then disappears behind the wall again. In a bit, she putters to the cookie oven, opens it, turns a tray twice then slogs back to the counter. Still ignoring you (me), she approaches, takes the couple's order--then returns to the oven. She waits for the couple's order, going out of her way to avoid eye contact with you (me) and presumably, the burden of customer service. She wraps the couple's package, hands it to them and then eases back to the oven. You call to her. "Can you help me, I think that's my order on top of the oven." She gazes at the order from a mile off, lifts her helium balloon hands, takes hold of the cookie box and reads the name. Take note: I've been standing there for over ten minutes. I confirm it's mine and ask why it's been sitting there when I could have been out and happy nine minutes sooner. Flat-eyed, she says, "I was busy with other customers." You (I) think, "Wow," and wonder if she's okay, in an altered state (it is Colorado) or sick. You want to feel bad for her, but she looks at you as if you're hateful for questioning her, her schedule and lack of service aptitude. I've worked all over the world, including the pits of Miami and South America where customer service is at best optional and normally terrible. My experience at Insomnia Cookies that night, starting at 7:09 PM and ending at 7:23 PM, was worse. By far the worst service I've received in Colorado, particularly Fort Collins. Will you receive better service? Perhaps. Was this an aberration? Maybe. But the anecdote is fact--terrible enough service for me to write a review. I don't blame the girl She's a kid. Who knows what was on her mind or in it, if anything. I blame management. Two employees present, no supervision and terrible customer service. That starts and ends with lack of training and control.
