Magnificent mocktails in a spectacular setting...so rare and appreciated. Thank you! Being here was a top-drawer experience.

Matcha latte, unsweetened

My friends and I were on the hunt for something warm after the No Kings March. The usual Old Town coffee shops were packed, so we moved along. As we were wandering northward someone started suggested G&B. My reaction was absolutely not, why don't we go to Persimmon instead? "Oh, I've heard good things - where is it?" There. "Where?" Right there. "I don't see it." That door directly across the street from us! Persimmon is quite inconspicuous from the street, but is one of Fort Collins' hidden in plain sight gems. That proved to be a good thing on a day where thousands of people pretty much had the same thought of needing something to warm up - while there were throngs at other places we passed by Persimmon was nearly empty. Our group of 6 easily found a comfy spot for our group. It turns out the we beat the lunch rush - it started to get quite busy once noon rolled around. After perusing the menu for warm drinks a few decided they were hungry so food was ordered as well. I had a matcha latte, unsweetened, and it was a perfect choice to warm up after being out in the wind and bluster that morning. They use a ceremonial grade matcha, which I found to be smooth and really not bitter. I also shared a pastrami sandwich with one of my friends - they were nice enough to bring out the sandwich halves on two plates. While not a New York deli kind of sandwich, it was good - quality ingredients on focaccia. They source their pastrami from a specialty butcher in Denver, though I've forgotten their name. Sandwiches are served with kettle chips that are light, crispy, and not too oily. In a previous visit I had their tuna sandwich and sampled some appetizers. The tuna sandwich was among the best I have ever had - I can't really put my finger on why but I do remember that my first bite wowed me. I didn't see the meze sampler on the menu this time, but as I recall the beet hummus was a standout. I don't lunch out in Old Town very often, but Persimmon is always such a pleasure. I need to make a point of coming more often.

Super cute inside! Nice spot to hang out with friends. There are different areas in the restaurant: a work and study area with normal coffee shop tables, a section with sofas to chill and have coffee, and a second floor with seating where they serve food. Very cool place with a nice vibe and great service! Got a few of the mezze, which are like appetizers for sharing. I loved the baba ganoush! The baked feta was nice, and I liked their pita toasts. Also got the salmon shmear, but I thought it was just okay. Would come back to try more!

Oh my goodness this place is a hidden gem!! great snacks and sandwiches. No one else in town is serving what they have and the mockcocktails are works of art, as well as the cocktails. Do yourself a favor check it out. The beet hummus is unbelievable and Raffi makes homemade shrubs which are delectable!

I really appreciated the laid back vibe of this place. It felt like it was way more of a coffee shop than a full restaurant. It felt very comfy. The babaganoush and Brie were pretty solid and tasty. The in-house pita was a good texture and felt very crispy. We asked for more even and they gave us some. I do think that the things were a bit overpriced, especially the sandwiches for how much you get. The sandwich I felt didn't have as much meat as it could've so it felt a bit underwhelming. The little bites were overall solid though

Baked Feta and Beet Hummus

Just took a short trip to Colorado for four days and this was my favorite restaurant. Everything we got was yummy and both the ambiance and staff were very nice. Nicely designed bathrooms was a plus!

Baked feta, cucumber salad, dolmas
Lilith F.

Don't even hesitate. Eat here!! Stopped in for an early lunch and I was blown away by the food. A friend and I shared the baked feta, cucumber salad, and dolmas and it was so delicious I was thinking about it for hours afterward. The design of the place is beautiful too, with casual seating you could sit and hang out for hours or standard tables and chairs. Staff was nice and helpful and they had beers on tap! Would go every night if I could lol :)

Baked feta, goat cheese stuffed dates, and olives

Service was excellent and food was perfect! The restaurant vibe is very hip and personal. I loved every second and will keep coming back for more of everything!!!

Shakshuka with pita. Hearty "meaty" flavor even tho it's not a meat dish. Like a cross between a chili and an arrabbiata sauce, I recommend.

Got seated right away when I went for dinner on a Wednesday night. However went for breakfast on a Friday morning- the online menu and yelp reviews aren't right- they don't actually have a breakfast menu, but do make espresso drinks. For dinner, ordered the shakshuka and the market sandwich, both were amazing, and large portions. Ordered the refosco and petit fers wines- both were amazing. Service was fast and attentive.

Tasty, high end sandwiches and pastries. Everything on the menu looked delicious, a lot of different flavors. I probably wouldn't order the Brie sandwich again, as it was a bit sweet for me. However, they have a lot of other interesting choices. Service was great, even though I was the only one sitting at the top. Background music was nice, but too loud. Indeed, it was quite serene at Persimmons; though, that might have been that I was the only one there. Two items to be aware: There is a very limited menu. I really liked the options, but could easily imagine some would struggle to find something to their liking. Persimmons certainly isn't cheap. You get what you pay for, but this is certainly not a quick, cheap lunch.

Dolmas (it comes with 5, I just let ny appetite run away with me!)

Had a great time at Persimmon last Saturday night! I love trying new places and, somehow, this establishment did not cross my radar until recently. They have built a reputation for quality craft cocktails and I thoroughly enjoyed my Darling Nikki. It was fresh and creamy with cucumber being the star of the drink. Beer and wine is also available. The food menu is limited to small plates and sandwiches but all 3 we selected were unique and tasty. The blistered shishitos were served with honey, the baked feta was topped with chilis and the dolmas were perfectly comforting with that hint of sourness. There are probably a dozen tables but we were seated immediately even on a weekend night. It definitely seemed like a great spot for a girls' night so I will be keeping that in mind for next time!

Beet hummus, dolmas, goat cheese stuffed dates with pistachio sprinkles.

Amazing! So glad I wandered in. Unpretentious hole in the wall in Old Town, don't blink or you'll miss it and you don't want to do that. Unrushed service as everything is made to order. Very friendly staff and service. Nice place to go before a show at the Armory but give yourself enough time because every dish is carefully crafted before it is served.
