    Such a cute vibe in this coffee shop! Very cozy inside with couches, tables, and a little gift shop area. 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. It was just okay and didn't taste like it had the syrup in there that I asked for. Would probably try another coffee shop if I was in the areas again.

    When in Fort Collins don't skip the Bean Cycle. Amazing service by our wonderful Barista Ella!! The service was fantastic and the drinks were very tasty. We even bought some really cool locally made cards and stickers. Highly recommend the Bean Cycle!

    Sausage quiche and Veggie quiche. Both taste good, but mine was clearly a little burnt, but shit happens. Once they figure out how to heat them up consistently, I'll definitely buy more! Friendly people. Awesome big space that's fairly quiet. LOTS OF ARTWORK around to look at! It's super cool to walk past the coffee area and into the mini rooms they have for artists to rent out. Super cool place and I'll definitely be back to sit upstairs!

    Came here for coffee while visiting Fort Collins during the holidays. When you walk in, the tables and walls are outfitted with knickknacks, cards and little tchotchkes like a gift shop-- seems to be all items are from local artists. The menu has lots of options and the gal who took my order was kind--I went with my usual an oat milk latte. The favor of the beans were a little on the bitter side for my liking but, all in all cozy space and nice experience.

    While wandering around Fort Collins one Sunday morning, my husband and I were in search of a good coffee shop. Turns out there are like 15 coffee shops in FoCo, so it was hard to choose just one! But when we stumbled upon the Bean Cycle, we knew we had to check it out. This cute, little, bike-themed shop has bicycles hanging on the wall - a clear draw to the bikers of Fort Collins. It also has a small kick-knack shop upfront, art studios for rent in the back, and a loft upstairs w/ cozy couches and more seating. My husband and I were in the mood for hot lattes on that chilly morning, so we both opted for a large latte - his w/ toffee nut and whole milk and mine w/ irish cream and oat milk. Within about 5 minutes, our lattes were brought out to us, beautiful latte art and all! The flavors were delicious, and the coffee was sooo warming. We were so satisfied with every sip we took as we sat upstairs in the lofted area. I highly recommend stopping in to the Bean Cycle for your FoCo coffee!

    Awesome coffeehouse in Old Town Square in Fort Collins. This place is a must if you are walking around and in need of a pick-me-up or something refreshing. The place did not look spacious from the outside but when I went in, I noticed they have quite a few tables to sit and a few seats up by the bar area. I wanted to walk around and experience the other offerings of Old Town Square so I got my coffee to go but the inside was well-kept, organized and had some lovely decor. They also have some boards hanging on their walls with great coffee tips. I loved it! Service was super friendly. I was very much impressed by how wonderful the baristas were! Overall, I had a 5-star experience and some damn good coffee!

    What a great coffee spot! There are several coffee places in the Fort Collins Old Town area, so it's tough to compete. This spot has really tasty coffee and nice, simple pastries to go with it. I stopped off here when I needed a place to sit down and hang out for a while with a cup of joe. The parking wasn't bad since I came early morning. They were doing social distancing, but I found a small table in the back and it was perfect. The coffee was hot and perfect. The chocolate croissant with cream cheese drizzle was light and slightly warmed (she offered). The space is not very large with the pandemic conditions, but I'm sure it would be larger when they open up the upstairs portion and get some more tables going. I'll be back!

    The Stinger, Latte with Honey and Cinnamon

    Cute and cozy coffee shop that has local artists' products for sale. You can find t-shirts, jewelry, stationary and other fun things. I got the stinger, which is a latte with honey and a cinnamon stick. It was pretty good! I also got a blueberry muffin, which was huge and delicious.

    Huge car with gift and local artisan work for sale. Amazing menu and places to work or enjoy your cafe.

    Large chai to stay.

    The bean cycle is a quintessential cafe that I'm glad I visited in old town. I spent three hours here catching up on my work all while downing a large chai. Atmosphere in here is airy and inviting. The cafe has many tables one can sit with their laptop or book As well as a few couches near the back of the store. I really hate crowded cafes and I'm glad the bean cycle isn't one of them. Older pictures show a row of bookshelves on the top floor loft are but it has changed and now the loft is an art studio which I think is pretty dope. Overall I would come again because I was very comfortable in this cafe and the chai was extra spicy. Yum.

    Well made coffee; presented perfectly!

    What a wonderful place. My latte was perfect and I am a coffee enthusiast. On a scale from 1 to 10 a solid 9.9. Loved the decor also.

    I had been meaning to try Fox Den for a few years now. It gets good reviews and I've heard good…read morethings about them. Just a couple days ago a friend mentioned Fox Den was one of her favorite coffee places. I guess it was just a little out of the way for me. I didn't make my own coffee this morning on purpose. We were going out to get coffee and a bag of whole beans from one of my favorite FC coffee shops. I suddenly realized I could use this opportunity to finally stop by Fox Den. The SO asks if I want to go there instead. I say yes, but with a little hesitation. I mean how good can this place really be? Will it live up to expectations? Does the "No Waste" theme come at the cost of compromising coffee quality? Upon entering the cafe, I see a wall of mugs to choose from. I pick the Mickey Mouse one. I place my standard new coffee shop order-a cortado and drip coffee. The barista taking my order says that's his favorite mug. The drip coffee comes first. I chose the light roast. It has mild acid, barely perceptible bitterness, and nice smoothe coffee flavor. I really can't ask for a more balanced cup of coffee. One of the best drip coffees I've had in a cafe. My cortado is up. The barista apologizes for his subpar latte art. It's not that bad. Consistently good latte art is not as easy as some baristas make it look, and baristas are allowed to be human. Besides, this is not the Louvre and art is not what I'm here for, no apology necessary. This cortado is excellent. The high quality pulled shots of expresso shine through the nicely steamed whole milk. I have to know which blends they used in my drinks. El Zorro for the cortado and Foxy Gal for the drip. I compliment the other barista on the shop's coffee. She humbly tells me, "the shots are pulling well today". Typically, when I get my usual cortado and drip coffee, one is better than the other, even if slightly so. Not today. Today both are of equally high caliber. It is a good coffee day.

    My favorite coffee shop in Fort Collins. Very good quality (non acidic) coffee and fun seasonal…read moreflavor options! Very free, relaxing, retro, hip vibe. Great friendly services. Highly recommend this laid back coffee shop!
