Stopped by Bindle Coffee and overall liked it. It's a very small coffee shop with basically no…read moreindoor seating, but they do have a lot of outdoor seating if the weather's nice. Got the lavender honey iced latte to drink. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was harder than I wanted, but the mini muffin was good. Best part was definitely the breakfast burrito. Really flavorful, filling, and they had Cholula which made it even better. I didn't taste a ton of the chicken sausage specifically, but overall it was really good. My friend got the scramble and liked that too. It took a while so that was probably cooked to order! My burrito was ready quickly and warm!!

I got the breakfast scramble this time and it was tasty and healthy. I love their seasonal syrups too (they have lavender honey right now). Seating is tight, but there's a ton of space to hang out outside if the weather is nice. They even have a pickup window outside if you order online. If you do get a seat inside, it's cute and cozy if you don't mind being close to other tables.

The space is large, relaxed, and perfect for settling in for an afternoon of tiles and socializing. They've got a happy hour with cocktails and afternoon bites, which is basically my love language. I went with an Old Fashioned and a warm, soft pretzel with honey butter... and both hit the spot. They also have a full bar plus coffee and tea, so there's something for everyone whether you're here for the drinks, a bite, or a little friendly Mahjong competition.

So happy to have another Harbinger Coffee on the South side of Fort Collins! A stunning space, with plenty of seating. Still some of the best coffee being served in town, with baked goods from La Creperie. Friendly service too! They haven't started roasting coffee yet, but the coffee roaster is right at the center of the space and is beautiful. Can't wait to try their coffees after they start roasting their own. Worth your time to check out. Seriously! read more

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!

I've been to Dark Heart about a half a dozen times. Their drip coffee is consistently very good…read moreand the cortados excellent. They offer sparkling water with their cortados, as some cafes do, which is a pretty cool touch. Sometimes they offer the choice of two different roasts for their espresso drinks, which I've never seen before anywhere else, ever. Stop reading here if that's all you need to know. Today. I order a Smokey Mocha (they also have a regular Mocha on the menu). Side note. It's really hard to screw up a mocha. At its most basic it's hot chocolate with shots of espresso. Even with bad or mediocre espresso shots there's usually enough milk and chocolate to cover it up. On the flipside, it's really hard to make a mocha that stands out from the crowd. (Spoiler-Dark Heart surpasses all that mocha mediocrity). Rewind. The first time I went to Dark Heart a couple years ago, a menu item caught my attention. The Smokey Mocha. My friend and I asked what it was. The barista at the register smiled and gave us her sales pitch. Something she'd obviously done many times and still didn't seem to mind doing. My friend and I were both sold as we each ordered one. After I was done with my Smokey Mocha, I wanted to order another. Unfortunately, we were coffee cafe hopping and had four more stops. When I got home, I started gushing about my Smokey Mocha to the SO and anyone else who would listen. Fast forward back to today. I order the 8-ounce Smokey Mocha for here. My drink has a nice heart design with a generous amount of black lava sea salt sprinkled on top. I smell notes of cocoa, but I can't tell if it's from the espresso (Relentless blend) or the cocoa powder. With every sip I take, I taste warm sweet (from cane sugar and maple syrup) mocha that ends with a touch of salt. The smoked paprika is an afterthought. I savor my drink, but I reach the bottom of my mug much too quickly. I swirl the mug to get the last dregs of salt and cocoa powder (single origin cocoa powder from the Philippines according to the barista). As I drive away, I can taste the salt on my llips, and I still feel the astringency of the cocoa powder in my mouth. This is no ordinary mocha drink. The Dark Heart Smokey Mocha has no equal.
