What a great spot for all walks of life to come together in collaboration and also as a space to simply relax and exist around books and deep coffee smells. Perfection.

The service was a little slow with only one person working on a Saturday morning but she was really sweet and thankful for me waiting. The taste of the coffee gets a 3.5/5.

Definitely becoming one of my go-to places in Fort Collins.

The clientele at this shop is what you'd expect: septic piercings, small arm tattoos, and progressive stickers everywhere you look. You get the sense that a Trump supporter would burst into flames upon entering this establishment, but who cares? This is what a coffee shop is supposed to be: a place for people to write screenplays and poems that will never be read. I'm sick of all these modern, "death of design," gentrification-fueled coffee shops. I waited 10 minutes for a mediocre cappuccino and a subpar bagel and was still thrilled with the overall experience. 4.5/5

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.

By him declaring that, obviously he is familiar with Starbucks, I have not been to a Starbucks in nearly 30 years. I have been ordering my mochas like that since my friend opened her coffee shop in 1990. That is how she taught me to order my mochas. For little Skippy to say to someone he doesn't know was very presumptuous. All because he thought he was being clever in front of his co-worker. Do better.
