Ya'll, they serve their coffee in real pottery, which absolutely makes my heart super melty. Other reasons to love the Bean Cycle: strong coffee, solid WIFI, great tunes that are loud enough to hear but not be distracting if you are working or studying. They also have juice, smoothies, CBD oil to add to drinks and a small pastry case but the real draw here is the coffee and relaxed ambiance. read more

Awesome art, subpar chai latte (i'll probably order it differently if i come back), and absolutely terrible service.

Awesome coffee and the carrot/ginger/Apple/beer juice is one of the best I've ever had. Great vibe and service. Come visit! read more

Bean Cycle Roasters is amazing! I ordered the Ethiopian Olidio pour over on Chemex and it was excellent, bold and smooth. Plus, me made enough for me to have two cups. Double score! read more

The Bean Cycle - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I walked in and was in awe of the space. Beautiful location. However, once I was inside it was difficult for me to get service. There were two employees behind the bar. One was making drinks, the other took the order of the person in front of me, then went over to make the drinks and got lost in conversation with other guests. I never even got the automatic "Hey, how's it going" greeting. The employee just looked at me and waited. She never bothered to ask if it was for here or to go. I went to the bathroom after I ordered and when I came out, she thrusted the to go cup in my direction. I stayed at the shop working for the next hour and was never once acknowledged or checked on. The chai was good but the service was very disappointing. read more

Only giving it two stars because of the art show and locally trinkets. Cool that they support local artists and such but not good coffee. Tastes really bad actually. Shitty customer service too the person making my coffee was a bitch. Anyways I wouldn't go here for coffee read more

Cutsy place on the strip. Its the downtown area of FC and definitely the more touristy place to be. I love the bike theme but it really wasnt super bicycle related I thought. For the name and the vibe I thought it would be more bicycle oriented. I dno. It was great coffee and excellent food options. 10 out of 10 will return. Down home feel with cute coffee shop/bookstore vibe read more

The Bean Cycle - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Five stars for a cool ambiance, delicious coffee, awesome juices, AND free wi-fi! Working remote, I try to travel as much as I can and recently stopped in at Bean Cycle while visiting Colorado. I always like going to coffee shops to grab a drink and pastry to start my morning, but sometimes, a healthy fruit/vegetable juice is what I'm in the mood for. Luckily, they had both! I tried the Dr. Feel Good and it was bomb. Fiance got a latte and a scone, both of which were really good as well. There's also tons of seating and free wi-fi, so definitely a great option if you're looking to get some work done! read more

Good coffee and atmosphere. I love that they have the bookstore in the back. I ended up finding a super cool old school cookbook that I purchased. The vibe of the space is relaxing and there's a mix of people working and hanging out. We got pour overs one day and came back for a quicker drip coffee a few days later. I also left with some beans. Simple, good coffee and a casual vibe. The bookstore definitely makes this place! read more

I am currently reviewing the best coffee shops in Fort Collins for college students. The bean cycle was a great choice for a quiet and inviting work environment. I spent hours grinding on homework and didn't feel distracted or uncomfortable. The drinks that my friends and I tried were not the best I had but they had a great presentation. The service was okay. I really enjoyed that they had an upstairs and downstairs working options. Overall this coffee shop is a great place to get work done. read more

If you like books, bikes and coffee or tea, this is the place for you. Friendly service + chilled patrons = great atmosphere. If you support local businesses, The Bean Cycle is worth visiting. read more

The Bean Cycle does have good drip coffee but their espresso is not so good. The Bean Cycle is in Old Town Fort Collins and is a huge rectangular shaped coffee shop with hard wood floors, high tin ceilings with a loft area, cushy couches and plenty of tables and chairs for sitting and studying, free WIFI with plenty of available plugs for laptops, some nice plants in the front main window and a wide ranging menu. These guys have various pastries and coffee drinks that you can find at any coffee shop, however, they do roast there own coffee on site in the back of the store. Their coffee roaster use to be in the front part of their store but after a fire it was moved to the back of the place! They also make juice drinks fresh from all sorts of fruit and veggies with a huge industrial juicer that sits on there back counter. This place also is home to the Matter Book Store if you need a book to read and buy. I imagine the two joined forces and crammed themselves under one roof do to high rent prices for Old Town Ft. Collins but that's a guess. I say this because I think the coffee shop could fill the space easily with patrons but when people are buying $1.00 cups of coffee....well you get it. This place is on the cusp of being it although the dcor suffers a little. It needs a professional designers touch. You get an unsightly view of an over exposed kitchen and the paint on the walls are not visually appealing. So why do I go here if the espresso isn't that great and the place could use some paint? First, they do have good drip coffee. Second, I spend most my time in Loveland so when I go to Ft. Collins I like to be somewhere busy to get a sense of what the area is like and this place is great for people watching. It ranges from dreaded hippies to suite and ties on break and tons of college kids studying. It is a good lively environment to hang out in. read more

You can never have too many coffee houses in a town. At least, that's what I think. Being a writer and a coffee addict, I am attracted to coffee houses like a moth to a flame. I'm also pleased that we have some pretty decent ones here in Fort Collins. I've been to many of them (often) and The Bean Cycle is no exception. When I walk in, I'm always hit with the smell of the roasting that they do in house. It's one of my favorite smells in the world. The large, openness of the shop gives it a light and airy feeling, especially with the tin-tiled ceiling. The walls are lined with art waiting to be sold, the tables filled with writers working from the free wifi, people gather for meetings in the loft and bookworms hang out in the non-profit bookstore, Matter, in the back. I love it. We had a pleasant night out eating and drinking scrumptious desserts after our dinner out. The Bean Cycle is a comfortable place to hang out, go for an after dinner treat, do some work, read some books, have a meeting or just simply get a cup of coffee and a bagel. We're lucky to have a coffee house like this in the heart of Old Town and a place this Fort Collins Food Blogger will be again. read more

Way cool atmosphere/setup, and very community/environmentally minded. Pretty good coffee, and snacks. The service setup is pretty mediocre, however. A line of five people can sometimes cause a really long wait. I've seen it happen multiple times-- all it takes is one person ordering a smoothie and it all goes pear-shaped. The staff is mostly friendly (there's one red-head that is always a little cranky) but they seem to mess-up anything outside of super basic orders. It's fine, but there are better spots nearby. EDIT: My most recent experience there was my worst. I'm not going back. read more

Such a great coffee shop. Plenty of room to stretch out, tall tin ceilings, tile and wood floors, good old vintage lighting, lots of options for how you'd like your coffee made, single origin third wave yummy beans, professional and caring service, perfectly located in downtown Fort Collins, music isn't too loud, old books to purchase, a loft ( really cool), ambient light streaming in through front windows, couches, tables, stools, great vibe. They are pros at making coffee. read more

See all

The Bean Cycle is truly a Fort Collins staple. The culture in Fort Collins revolves around bikes, beer and coffee. And The Bean Cycle has two of the three. I have stopped in several times and am always pleased with their coffee. They offer drip coffee, french press, espressos, tea, fresh juice, and smoothies. As if it is not enough to get a good brew at a local shop, it is also nice to know that The Bean Cycle is ecologically and socially conscious. They purchase Fair Trade coffee, roast their own beans, compost their waste, and support local businesses. That's a sweet deal if you ask me! read more

The service has gotten so slow at this place, I rarely go there anymore. It's too bad. They need to go down the street and observe how Starbucks runs their operation for an hour or so. Starbucks is always full, yet I can usually walk out of there with with a cup of coffee within a few minutes. Not so at the Bean Cycle. There just isn't any sense of urgency there. Honestly Bean Cycle, I still love you and your coffee, but please, speed it up! read more

If I could leave no stars I would. Last night, my husband and I were in Old Town and I needed to use the restroom; door was unlocked and people were still in there, drinking coffee. I asked if the restroom was in the back of the store, the man behind the counter said it's only for customers. I asked if I can buy a coffee, he smirked at me and said "we're closed". No woman, especially a pregnant one, should ever be treated this way! I understand they closed at 9pm, and it was 8:58pm. Still entirely unacceptable behavior. I am DISGUSTED by the way I was treated and will not be coming to this store again. read more

I order 5lbs of coffee once a month for our small office in town and we love their coffee. We were originally thinking we'd try a few local roasters in town, but the coffee was exactly what we were looking for - flavorful, light and well priced. The staff is also really great and helpful when it comes to recommendations and accommodating with deliveries. read more

Ever write a review while you're sitting in the place? That's what I'm doing and it's an odd feeling. So I'm sitting on an OK comfortable red couch eating an OK egg and cheese croissant drinking some OK coffee. The size of this place is pretty large compared to other coffee houses and there is a book store in the back. There is a steady stream of customers so this is a good place to people watch; however, there is currently a boring vibe here - hence the boring review. read more

I specifically sought out this coffee shop after seeing some good reviews online, but the service was kind of cold. I guess asking for an opinion between two different roasts was asking too much?! Ultimately I decided on a bag of Costa Rican, but after brewing it I can't say I would get it again. Spending $17 on a bag of good coffee is usually worth it, but not this time. I always try to support local roasters/coffee shops when I'm traveling but next time I'm in Ft Collins I'm going somewhere else. read more

Good books, good places to sit, and an overall great site to meet up with friends and enjoy coffee or tea.

Probably like most people, I'm writing this while sitting in The Bean Cycle! In house coffee with free refills for a buck? Dude.... wtf, where can you even get that anymore? Free wi-fi, great ambiance, vegan baked goods. Hot damn, I'd be hangin here all the time if I lived here. read more

I've been to The Bean Cycle three times now. The pour over coffee here is fantastic. They roast in house, and have really delicious, vibrant coffees. I've tried Ethiopian, Guatemalan, and Brazilian roasts - all tasted just as described, and then some. They take their various brew methods very seriously - a scale is used to measure out coffee/water ratios through each step of the process - and all three baristas that served me were happy to talk to me about the coffee and their methods. The sign is a bit misleading - they claim that a pour over only takes two minutes to brew - it's definitely more like 5, but well worth it. There is lots of open space for working, reading and relaxing. The have a book "store" in the back of the room. There is a free book bin in the front and the bookstore is run by volunteers as a non-profit. All of the employees I encountered were really pleasant. Delicious coffee, great space, good vibes all around. read more

Definitely not my favorite coffee shop in Fort Collins, but not a bad one either! The place is very laid back and definitely had a more relaxed pace than other places. The high ceilings were nice since it made the room feel very open. The bookstore in the back is also very neat and something that I need to check out some more. The drinks are pretty good, and the pastries all look very tasty! The tables and chairs aren't the most comfortable (the chairs were too short), though, and the layout is a little weird. So yeah, I give them 3 stars not because I don't like the Bean Cycle, it's just that I like other coffee shops better. Maybe someday they'll be a 4 star place for me. Until then, it will definitely be part of my coffee-shop rotation for studying since is still offers a different atmosphere than other places in town. read more

Great service and a REALLY good venitian cream coffee! Also some pretty great, and free, wifi! read more

My girlfriend and I stumbled across this coffee shop in old town today (5/21) and it is by far one of the coolest coffee shops in Fort Collins. She ordered a "b.c. chai" and said it was very good. We talked to the owner for a couple minutes and he seemed to be an extremely friendly guy. The place is huge! Great ambiance to read a book, study, or relax with friends. I will definitely be back to try the coffee and check out the books (several) they have on their shelves. read more

I am nothing if not a Bean Cycle regular. But that doesn't mean its all good. - Pros - *Location: Right in the Middle of Old Town, with big windows and couches to look out onto the world. * Cheap drip coffee: A dollar? * Bookstore included (non-profit and cool, but short on selection). * Quiet atmosphere, conducive to getting stuff done. - Cons - * The biggest con of all is that a few of the staff members give the whole place a bad vibe. Some of them are great and friendly (Dave, Claire, Elliot, por ejemplo), but there are a few who just refuse to smile - refuse even to restrain from making you feel like a waste of their time. * That quiet atmosphere can also be pretty boring. Not a place to go to meet people, either. * The coffee, while cheap, isn't anything to write home about. The Kerouac is awesome but over-priced. read more

Stopped by here a couple of times while visiting Fort Collins last week, and loved the place. Great coffee, vegan Scout cookies (don't eat these just before lunchtime!), plenty of seating, and a cosy bookshop at the back. Only downside was that they'd run out of the vegan cookies on Sunday at 1pm, but I guess that's my fault for not going in earlier. It's pretty hipster, but there was no objection to my 11 month old cruising her way along the coffee table (though wouldn't recommend bringing your kid here if they're likely to yell the place down. Because that would be impolite.) Oh, and they were playing Sibylle Baier when I was last there. Got to love that. read more

I recently visited Fort Collins for the first time since moving to Colorado, and was told I needed to check out this coffee shop in Old Town. The space is super charming, with an open air feel, plenty of seating, and an awesome used bookstore in the back. The baristas were friendly and my coffee was expertly made. I had a chance to peruse the books while I was there and ended up walking away with two practically new hardbacks for a steal. This place does laid back local perfectly. Can't wait to return during my next trip up! read more

I asked if I could smell the beans, and the barista laid five humongous tubs of coffee beans on the counter so that I could give each one a good sniff. My boyfriend thinks I'm unreasonable, but I sure didn't hear him complaining about the coffee selection. We got it in a French Press and it was perfect. I love the big open space, and the couches. I didn't sit in one when I went, but they look comfy, and I will definitely be back to check them out. Review on the couch cushions to follow. read more

I feel very fortunate to live near The Bean Cycle. They have the best espresso in town (and that's a huge distinction b/c FoCo has lot of good coffee shops) and great specialty drinks (my favorite is the Brooklyn Woodrow). The service, ambience, and location are great. Great for low-key socializing, studying, or working. And there is plenty of interesting reading material because there is a bookstore in back. The Bean Cycle/Wolverine Farm Publishing are also good stewards of the community, contributing to and hosting various cultural and nonprofit events. Just a bonus.... read more

This place has great coffee, and is always filled with people chatting, studying, reading, or just staring into space. That adds a nice warm social vibe, but can sometimes mean it's a bit crowded as the furniture tends to be jammed into a smaller area than it really needs. Some other things of note about the Bean Cycle: There's usually art on the wall for sale (but of course it's Fort Collins local art, which tends to be hundreds of dollars even if a dog painted it). There's a little bookstore at the back where you can browse, read, and buy physical books - juxtaposed with the sea of macbooks and kindles at the front of house. Beans are roasted fresh; there's always something good on the counter to try as a result. read more

I was excited to try this place as there don't seem to be many coffee roasters in Ft Collins. However, I was extremely disappointed that the staff served the guy who walked in behind me because he was a regular and they knew him. So, I left. If you don't value all customers then I'm not going to patron your establishment. read more

We were driving through Fort Collins and decided to stop by this place for some coffee. The staff recommended a drink (unfortunately I can't recall the name) but it's a cold coffee drink with cream (they premade it in a big batch by the cashier). It was absolutely to die for. It was so rich (in a nice way) and the coffee flavor was very intense (again in a very nice way), it was like drinking vanilla coffee ice cream. I would definitely go back to this place next time I am in Fort Collins. read more

Great coffee - not perfect, but pretty good. I have high expectations for my coffee so that's a good compliment coming from me :-) The ambience was great. Most of the people in the shop were students working on laptops. It makes the place feel alive while it's not too noisy. read more

Mmmm I love coffee. It looks the baristas here know their stuff and definitely don't rush you on your order. In fact, be prepared to wait a few minutes because they make each order right away. The actual location has a huge sectional, which I've never seen in a coffee shop. It feels like you are studying in a library with the huge collection of books in the back. The open space is great, definitely isn't a cramped coffee shop. The actual coffee? I had an iced coffee which was amazing. Robust, not burnt tasting. If you like rich, strong coffee, this is the place for you. If you like a bit of sweetness, my husband's mocha was super chocolatey, so I imagine their espresso is great as well. read more

I really like this place. Maybe it's the bookstore, maybe it's the bike theme (I LOVE bikes!). The coffee is pretty good, and wi-fi works right on cue. Some of the tables really need some adjustments. I've seen them wobble and jettison some poor person's coffee right off the table! Still, good people watching, nice atmosphere, and solid coffee make this place a winner read more

A great coffee house. I loved the names of their drinks (all puns on books or movies). I had a smoothie once when I was there, and another time I had an iced tea -- both were great. I really liked the iced tea and wish I could have bought some to take with me. The baristas are friendly, too. The furniture is great...comfy couches and nice sized tables. I loved that they have a place to compost waste from your drinks and food, as well as a place to recycle. I loved the Matter Bookstore in the back/loft -- they have some great zines! read more
