    Chocolate raspberry torte
    Evelyn P.

    This is such a cute spot with delicious pastries and drinks. There's indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi available. Service was wonderful. It was my first time visiting and they were patient while I decided what I wanted to try and checked in with me when I was leaving to ask what I thought. They have a great selection of pastries including carrot cake, cupcakes, tartlets, and more. It's a little pricey, but great if you're in the mood to treat yourself! I had the raspberry chocolate torte and a drip coffee with creamer. The total was about $18 not including tip. The raspberry chocolate torte was flavorful, decadent, and perfectly sweet (not overly sweet). I'll definitely be back to try other pastries!

    Super cozy bakery with a lovely variety of baked treats and beverages. We got the biscuit, the chocolate cake and the orange cranberry cake. But everything looked amazing! The biscuit and the chocolate cake were 10/10. So tasty!! A hot beverage and 3 treats were $38 but it's great to support local businesses who are great at what they do.

    Found this great neighborhood bakery bar that has a great selection of gf treats! Staff were super welcoming, food and coffee/chai were delicious as well. We'll definitely be coming back. Such a cute and comfortable set up as well. There was even a person remote working at the bar since the atmosphere was so pleasant. By far the best chai latte I have had in Colorado, it was nice and spicy and not watered down like most. Spouse said their matcha latte was the best he has ever had. They were so good we failed to try each other's drinks! The gf biscuits and gravy was tasty and a great portion. We also purchased a bake good to go and they kindly kept it in the cooler for us until we left!

    Samoa Cheesecake, 1985 and Sangiovese

    I've only had the chance to get to this cute little spot twice so far, but I see many more in my future! Most recently, I was craving a glass of red (mid-day on a Tuesday, of course) and something for my sweet tooth, so my husband and I ventured in for a lazy afternoon. We were greeted by the friendly masked bartender/barista and grabbed our boozy drinks, perused the glass case that was full of small, elegant desserts, then snagged a table in the corner. The house red is a Sangiovese (one of my faves), and on the cheaper side compared to their other wine offerings. We dug into the Samoa Cheesecake we got (pricey, but worth it considering how rich and decadent it was - we ended up taking half home) and relaxed in the quiet atmosphere. I saw that they used to have a savory menu, and I'd love to see them bring that back since sweets are a once-in-a-while craving for me, but when that craving hits, I'll be trying another of their delicious caked or macarons paired with another glass of wine!

    In search of some early morning sweetness, I found this gem tucked into a corner of the shopping plaza - it did not disappoint! I tried one of the white chocolate Entremet a massive sugar cookie and a beautiful doughy pretzel that looked too good to leave in the display case. The Entremet was perfectly delicate, packed with flavor and just the right consistency. I would tell you about the cookie but it was eaten by my companion before I got to try it- so I am thinking it was pretty good. The pretzel I saved for later, and even warmed up at home it was still wonderful, carb-tastic perfection. Was it pricey? Of course, it's Fort Collins and it's Colorado - was it worth it? DEFINITELY!

    This place is a total vibe! I was looking for somewhere cozy to go read and have some pastries and Retreat delivered. I got a slice of Tiramisu to go and my husband said it was one of the best he's ever had. I had a couple of key lime pie bites and a banana cream bite and they were amazing! Also had a mimosa and a turkey pesto sandwich while I hung out at the bar for a while reading my book. The service was fabulous as well! Will definitely be back!

    Pastries are all delicious. There are the normal pastries and fancy sweets. Some GF choices. Latte was quite good. Hot. In a nice big ceramic cup. Service was very friendly. Ambiance was ok. I liked sitting at the counter. They were playing old Bob Ross shows, a very relaxing choice. I would definitely have them make a cake for a party. Lots of reasons to go and to return.

    Raspberry chocolate bite

    Great place to meet a friend for a catch up! We like the friendly staff and all the choices for desserts and drinks. It's hard to choose which beautiful treat you want first. They have a good wine and beer selection along with coffees and tea.

    Way overpriced, 2 pastries was 17 dollars. Save your money and go elsewhere because it was definitely not worth it.

    Pretend you're me: It's cold, rainy and miserable. You park near Insomnia Cookies and walk in…read morewet--only to find no employee at the counter. A lone couple waits for service, ignored. 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.

I definitely want to come back and explore more of the surrounding spots next time. For ice cream, I ordered the Fort Collins Chocolate (I think that was the name), and it had brownie pieces mixed in. It was absolutely delicious! All of their ice cream is made in-house at their main store and then brought over to this adorable churn-shaped shop, which makes it feel even more special. Every flavor we tried was great. I would definitely go back again -- such a cute atmosphere and amazing ice cream!
