    Bone broth latte
    Leanna K.

    Sad. I really liked this place the first time I came here! But for some reason today it felt like a waste of money. Ordered a drip coffee with oat milk and vanilla. It was served black - no worries. Ordered a veggie quiche and it was cold on the inside - again no worries. Went back up to the counter and waited in line, told the cashier what was wrong and asked if the quiche could be heated and if I could get some milk and vanilla. 20mins later (and yes I'm not exaggerating) the cashier brings out the quiche and says sorry I thought they brought it out to you but they just left it back there. Ok, now I'm upset. So, my coffee was bad (and was still bad the second time. the oat milk looked like water as it was being poured. Perhaps it just needed to be shaken?), the quiche cold, then it was forgotten, and brought out cold again. I understand things happen, but this was not properly handled or remedied. The 2 stars is for the food because I genuinely love the quiche and the other items and absolutely adore that it's gluten free - but wasting money & time is not on my list of things to do. Will come back one more time to see if this was a one off as I know we all have off days. Love the decor too! Hoping my next visit will be a better one! Update: Literally still sitting here at the cafe because I'm working and decided to try the blueberry streusel muffin. Added another star because damn that was delicious. Hats off to the baker! Really want to love this place even more now, haha

    Omg, gluten free pastries as far as the eye can see! I got the caprese focaccia and it was so good! They drizzled it with a perfect balsamic glaze. They also have plenty of space to sit and visit with friends or work. This is such a cute place! I will definitely be back!

    So far I have found no fault in this coffee shop. Everything is tasty, made quickly, and the service is kind. Shout out to Jazzy and Leo, who always serve up a smile and Leo is trying to start up a poetry workshop and open mic for the community here too, which is awesome. I had the special pretzel bites they served at the poetry night (both flavors) and they were out of this world!! My non-gluten-free friend even said they were best she ever had. I would vote to put them on the permanent menu PLEAAAASE. There is plenty of seating, free wifi, a clean bathroom, and good vibes. I highly recommend visiting. My favorite donut flavors so far are the blueberry and the maple, but all are good!

    Another NEW gluten free bakery alert in Colorado!! (side note this state is amazing) Cardnl - Explorado Market has rebranded itself as a 100% gluten free bakery in Fort Collins, CO, offering both gluten free and sugar free items as well as keto and paleo friendly items! They had their grand opening this past Saturday and the family that owns it is so kind and passionate! Prices are also extremely affordable - these items were $1.50 each! Frosted sugar cookie, brownie, chocolate chip cookie, and monster cookie pictured below. They also have a lot more cookie options, Rice Krispie treats, and refrigerated items like bagels, cinnamon rolls, breads, etc. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!! everything I tried was super yummy!

    New to me coffee shop & bakery in old town Fort Collins! I stopped in on Labor Day around 12 and it was extremely busy! Waited in line for about 10 mins. I didn't mind, the staff was working hard and were kind. As soon as I ordered the line calmed down. I loved that there wasn't an up charge for alternate milks! Wide selection of homemade pastries, desserts, and quiche. Everything was gluten, soy, and peanut free. I tried a strawberry gf donut. I'm not normal GF but it was still delish! They upgraded the space super well since Bluebird was there. Very cute, aesthetic spot! Plus lovedddd my latte. The espresso used was top notch & delicious. Can't wait to stop back to try a homemade soda or electrolyte drink!

    Good ambience, nice lighting, fast service. I used to come here every morning while I was working at Scrumpy's to get coffee. This is one of the best spots in Old Town for coffee. Menu is neat, readable, and easily displayed. Staff are friendly, pricing on menu items is reasonable. I would recommend the coffee cake muffin for newcomers

    I absolutely adore this place. No seed oils, made me instantly stop in for a coffee and a dessert. Everything was phenomenal. My new favorite place in town. Great atmosphere, I love the vibe. The barista was friendly and attentive. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars

    The cortado comes with a free house soda for some reason, and it's good.
    Joshua N.

    Very nice place for coffee and snacks, with good counter service. Nice location in old town on the plaza. My cortado was poured with care and even came with a little glass of house soda. My wife had a purple colored soda that was out of this world. Amazingly, entire food and drink menu is gluten free.

    30 minutes for a tea? Just an overall bad experience between the tasteless food and unkempt atmosphere.

    I arrived with high hopes. Very very very limited Paleo options. Seems like they cater only to Keto diets.

Much better coffee available around town. Espresso martini: 5/5 very dark. Great place to work with colleagues or alone. People seem to like to meet up here and talk vs work though.

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.
