Five-Star Review for Bean Cycle Roasters Bean Cycle Roasters is the GOAT. We used to visit their old 287 location all the time for coffee, snacks, and cute local gifts. We were so bummed when we showed up one day and they were gone -- but thankfully, they'd just moved a short walk away. And the new space is even better: warm, cozy, inviting, with plenty of seating up front and in the lounge area in back. Great vibe, friendly service, easy to hang out, and they have free WiFi and street parking. My go-to drink is the R2CBD2 espresso, and my husband loves their coffee. They now have a liquor license too, so you can grab a beer or wine. They were between seasonal specials during our last visit, but past drinks with lavender, blood orange, and rose have been fantastic. Excited to try their holiday menu when it rolls out. So glad Bean Cycle is still around -- now with a cozier space, expanded options, and the same great energy. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Really well brewed spicy chi sweetened with a touch of agave. Will definitely be back! Has some cute merchandise and a nice sitting area for work/ reading. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

An absolute gem coffee stop while in Ft Collins. I got a "smashing pumpkin" oat milk latte - before you judge, tremendous. No syrup or artificial flavoring. Master crafted. Enjoy. read more

We went there as a large group. I did not enjoy the Chai. We ordered some dessert cup things that were bitter. Several people liked their coffee, we had to sit upstairs which was uncomfortably warm. With so many other places to try in the area I would not be in a rush to hurry back here. read more

Cool little shop, loved the art in the back, got a smooth made with fresh veggies and fruits. It was pretty fantastic. A little more hipster then I normally like, but I would definitely go again next time I'm in Fort Collins read more

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! read more

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! read more

I wrote a review for this place in 2014 and only gave it 3 stars... mostly because of price, maybe I was just bitter because I was broke at the time... Well I regret that review because honestly this has become my favorite coffee shop in the world (and I have been to coffee shops all over it)... The coffee is amazing, the espresso is out of this world, the people who work here are some of my favorite people in town. I absolutely LOVE this place. I am truly annoyed with my previous review of this place, because I was absolutely wrong. Just some extra things. First and foremost is the atmosphere, it is absolutely beautiful inside and I love all the little nooks and crannies of the place, and I love the high ceilings! They roast their coffee in the back and it makes the place smell like heaven. The special drinks they come up with, are always amazing! In fact, I was coming in here so dang much, they let me name one of their drinks, The Affo-getabout-it, their affogato which is delicious! Oh yeah, make sure you get something with whipped cream, because they make it in house and you will have dreams of them spraying some into your mouth! Anyways, I am admitting I was wrong, it is rare, but I was completely wrong in 2014... I love this place and you will too! Definitely check this out and meet some of the fun and amazing staff at The Bean Cycle!!! read more

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. read more

Cool ambiance but the coffee was just soso. Not sure I'd go back. Would try other shops in foco first

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. read more

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.

Sure I have a bicycle bias, and The Bean Cycle played into that bias nicely with bicycle elements all over the place :) The coffee and the presentation were great...Cory made a great latte and gave off a great energy...thanks man! read more

The Cuban style coffee was spot on. My husband ordered a latte with honey which needed to be stirred. Shop has plenty of seating and while you are there you can buy a piece of displayed art or a trinket from the gift shop ... read more

I was excited to go to this place for coffee, but the customer service ruined the experience for me. I was the only one in line and the person behind the counter wouldn't give me the time of day. I had to find a couple of ways to get their attention before I was helped. The coffee they made was good, but the poor customer service hurt the review for me. I will give this place a try again per the recommendation of others, but I hope they fix their customer service. read more

Nice place. Really good coffee. Had a muffin with cheddar, feta and rosemary that was super. They made my coffee with hot half and half - it was just how I like it. Unfortunately for me, those low wise coffee cups are exactly the kind I hate. Easy to spill, the surface area is huge so the coffee gets cold really fast. I found myself gulping so I could still have it while it was warm. The chairs - seating in general - pretty much hurt after a few minutes. I switched from the wire seat (terrible) to a couch which was more or less the kind a college student throws out after they leave college. The staff was aware, awake, helpful and clearly doing their best. The bathroom I used was a mess. I suppose it's difficult to monitor that when you have a full house like they do this morning. I've been here before. I could have sworn they had big overstuffed chairs that were comfy... one more note on the cup: when the woman brought it to me, it was full to the brim. Since there is only one sugar container, I walked my coffee to the bar to get sugar: big mistake. A group of girls came in and blocked my path with my overfill cup back to my seat. Good thing I hadn't sat upstairs. I would never have made it down and back without spilling (they delivered the coffee to my table). I will have coffee here again. But I'm going to look for a place that offers a little more comfort. read more

Great coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. Had a nicely frothy latte with didn't even need sweetening. Delicious pastries too. Enjoy people watching from the bench seating at the window, or relax at the other tables. A few succulent plants at the window. They're happy and established:) Interesting art, some for sale. Non-gender specific bathroom. Love this non-chain coffee house. Will be back. read more

The Bean Cycle passed my macchiato test with flying colors! Double shot with a dollop and soda water chaser to clean the pallet! So I went deeper and got a pour over with Costa Rican beans which was wonderful and a slice triple berry pie which was delicious! In addition there is a bookstore inside that supports Wolverine Farm Publishing - how cool is that??? This is a must visit! read more

The Bean Cycle has the best cortado and the best cold brew I've had in weeks of cross-country travel. What a find! It was such a joy to walk in here, see all the space between tables, be greeted warmly, and get the best coffee. Yes, yes, yes. read more

Excellent coffee and ambiance. This is a coffee shop and bookstore so it's a great place to read, relax, or just peruse about as you are waiting for your coffee. I love coffee houses that serve your usual - cappuccino, latte, drip, individual brew. I am not a fan of coffee places that have 20 types of drinks. It's all about the coffee and how it's roasted and prepared and this place is great! Definitely a recommendation to everyone. read more

Another coffee shop in Fort Collins, you say?! Oh honey. A. It's Fort Collins B. Do all other FoCo coffee shops have an adorable bookstore inside as well? No. No, they probably don't. Coffee by itself is usually hard to beat. But adding books into the equation makes a perfect combination. The Bean Cycle has a great feel to it. It's lively inside, with a great set up, and fun customers. It's 100% impossible to miss the menu - it's spaced along many huge signs above the bar. It's very aesthetically pleasing. I walked in while waiting for some downtown shops to open, figuring I needed a small knitting break. Though I was very tempted by the juices and house-made smoothies, I went with a "b.c. chai". Chais are usually hit or miss for me, but the Bean Cycle's version didn't disappoint. It was a little more "spicy" than I liked, but paired with the comfy couch near the start of the bookstore, and knitting? I was very satisfied. After finishing my drink, I took a quick tour through the bookstore. It's very simple and cute - and I didn't make it to the second level before needed to run. I loved that there was a small section featuring local artwork to purchase! More exploring here is necessary. The Bean Cycle is a coffee shop I would most definitely return to. It'd be great for studying, with strong WiFi, and there's something about the added section of books that makes the atmosphere more comforting. The only thing missing is a cat or three! read more

Yet another scrumptious coffee shop in Oldtown Fort Collins! This coffee shop is housed in the same spot as Matter Bookstore. This coffee shop is about in the middle as far as traffic goes. It was fairly quiet but there were people coming and going, but not like some of the other coffee shops in town where it is swamped and you have to sit outside once you are served! I ordered a Mexican Mocha which was wonderful! It had a nice chocolaty kick to it which I adored! At the bottom of my mug was a little piece of a cinnamon stick, clearly responsible for me having such a good time with my drink. I had a chocolate chip cookie which was huge and I couldn't finish it all but it sure was great for a later snack! There are so many coffee shops in Fort Collins it is kind of mind boggling once you sit down and think about it. The Bean Cycle is one that is worthy of many return visits! read more

I stopped by here midweek to caffeine-up for a 1300 mile drive. The place is spacious, but warm and inviting at the same time. I was the first customer of the day at 7am, and the barista was incredibly welcoming. I drink a lot of cappuccinos, and I'd put the capp at Bean Cycle at a solid second-tier (e.g. not amazing, but WAY better than Starbucks). The process was sound, but the result was a little sour. Totally could have been that the grind wasn't dialed in so early in the day, so I'll definitely give it another try if I ever again find myself in Fort Collins. read more

This was the first coffee shop I went to when I moved to Fort Collins. I had zero complaints the first time I popped in for a coffee, I discovered they made freshly squeezed juice, I basically fell in love after that. I am extremely indecisive, I doubt everything, so I took my doubting self out and about for the next year to explore other coffee shops around Fort Collins. Every time, it just wasn't the same. I kept coming back to the bean cycle for comfort and delicious beans. It's been a little over a year, the bean cycle is still the shiz. From their monthly concoctions, the coffee selection, add ins, and the incredibly fresh juices you can't go wrong. The environment is so homey feeling, you can get a view of old town or you can bundle up on the couch. You can't go wrong at this place. What to order? I go with the black coffee or one of their monthly specials, these people know what they are doing. I also love all of their juices. read more

Overall I got a very cool vibe from the moment I walked in, however not too impressed with my order. Figured since I was in town visiting, let me check out the local spot and not go immediately to the Starbucks (I know it's tough considering how consistent Starbucks is lol). Ordered an iced latte which consisted of just ice, milk, and a shot or so of espresso. No sort of real flavor. Would wish they could throw some extra stuff in it to spruce it up. Ended up drinking only half then instead walked down the street to the local Starbucks which by far made up for that empty space I had for a decent enough latte. read more

mmm raspberry and coconut italian soda while perched above on the 2nd floor reading/bookstore area. SOO cool! Huuuuge selection of granola crunchy fair-trade organic paid well when harvesting the beans coffee. Free wifi and spectacular aromas. Buy 10, get one free, free what, I forget but I did have the guy stamp some random card with the name "CHAD" in big BOLD 4th grader letters because I'm only here for the night. read more

My favorite hangout coffee place in Fort Collins. Lots of really great energy with space. They have a great comfy couch and lots of tables. Books integrated in the same place is such a great idea! Two things that go so well together creates a happy place. The last time we went they had $1 coffee in the mugs with 75 cent refills. They don't offer food outside of a few party type items, but you can get food from next door and being it in. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you are missing out! read more

Awesome organic place. Try their cold drip - chocolately. Great place for Ft. Collins that supports fair trade, organic and local coffee. Just having returned from Seattle, it felt a notch below the Cafes in Seattle but for Front Range, this is a place I want to continue to patronize - local, down home, so upping ranking to 5 stars. May want to upgrade the furniture to optimize seating like some of the cafes in Seattle. This place is on the cutting edge of coffee making - many techniques, etc. They are patient and explain to me the options and methods. read more

The Bean Cycle - Cool latte decoration. Just like the hot spots of Seattle cafes. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

3.5 stars. Really good coffee and cold brew. High prices but worth it if you're a coffee snob. It's very Hipster like everyone is saying and reminds me of Berkeley. My gripe is they only have 1 person behind bar on weekday mornings making drinks and cashiering, so line moves very slow. read more

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

This is my favorite coffee shop in town. I love the combination of book store with coffee. It's such an obvious marriage of perfection. The whole store has a homey, local vibe that I just love. It had been a little while since I've been in and they didn't have the extensive chalkboard drink menu anymore. I wasn't sure if they had simplified on the visual or the menu itself so I asked about the Mexican mocha. The barista told me that was an easy drink to make and he could do it. I'm still not sure if it's an off the menu item but I hope not! The chocolate with orange with real cinnamon stick is scrumptious. And to make this experience a little more fun there was a small craft show inside the coffee shop. I did a little local shopping and drank a fabulous coffee! read more

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

Walked by the bean cycle a few times while in old town. Finally went in. Relaxing coffee shop in old town, with friendly baristas. It was afternoon and I needed a jolt. I got what I asked for. I ordered the cuban coffee, which had plenty of caffeine. I am usually a daily green tea drinker and I occasionally have coffee or lattes. I tossed and turned all night that night. Anyway, great coffee shop. Love the latte art. I cruised the used book section while waiting. Interesting selection. Check it out! read more

When I came in during the rainy Friday afternoon I was greeted with a pleasant smile. I was decided to go with something more traditional. I wanted to try something that maybe was their specialty but I only feel it is fair to judge a coffee shop on how they handle basic drinks, so I ordered a Cortado. The foam was right where it needed to be at about 1oz. The cup with a nice little design with a handle. (I'm used to handless cups so it was nice to have that haha.) They have orange walls and the cup was orange on the handle and saucer. (Just kind of a cool feature that ties the aesthetics of a shop together.) There also is a charitable bookstore at the back of the shop with two levels. The first sip was nice and hot. I let it cool a little to get best flavor and continued to drink. As I had more I noticed some of the subtle flavor of the roast. It was quite strong and a little darker than I prefer but by no means bad. I think this part comes down to a preference. 4/5 Stars for aesthetic and overall good experience. Next time: I would try a specialty drink, find out what they're best at. Try something new. read more
