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 actually LOVE this place but unfortunately the last three times over different days and times of…read morethe week that I've gone there to get work done there isn't a single place to sit. Not even up at the coffee bar. Sadly this place is entirely overcrowded with students who instead of utilizing their on campus resources and places to study or do homework, take up spaces like this at all hours and evidently send customers elsewhere. It's frustrating for someone like me who needs/wants the reprieve from busy crowded daily life in the evening without going to a bar. This is one of the only late night cafes open in the area and every time I plan to spend any significant time or money there I unfortunately have to leave because there's nowhere to sit. Hopefully AlleyCat is making the money it appears they should be with a space so crowded.

Solid 5 stars. I…read moretend to eat at alot of the large specialty cookie establisments and this is now at the top of the list. 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.

Their cookies are large, chewy and clearly made with love. They have deals on half and full dozens, and you can watch the cheerful bakers actually making the goods on premises. My favorite is the snicker doodle sandwich, but you can't go wrong with anything here and the overall quality is SO much better than the chain store competitors.

The staff is always friendly and patient, even when there's a long line. I love that it's in the middle of old town and that it's a stand alone. If you're indecisive, they'll let you try the flavors and they will even mix and match flavors on any size. I don't live in Fort Collins anymore, but I do think about this place often and make sure I stop by anytime I'm in town, regardless of the weather outside!

It's shaped like a giant ice cream churn, which makes it such a fun and unique place to stop. The whole area was really neat -- there are several other restaurants and small businesses around it, and it looks like they host live bands there during the summer. 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!

Today, the croque monsieur (the SO cringes at the way I pronounce it when I order because it sounds kind of like "croak mon-sewer") was particularly good. The SO's mushroom quiche was custardy with a good amount of mushrooms. The walnut chocolate chip cookie was an excellent thick homemade type of cookie. The sourdough loaf was spot on. As an every day black coffee drinker, I have to say, they were having a really bad coffee day. After a few sips of my coffee, I went back to counter and put a bunch of half and half into my mug of coffee. The barista was looking at me with an expression that said, "You should have ordered an espresso drink". They are forgiven for one bad coffee day.
