    I am recommending this coffee shop because you can get 24 ounce and even 30 ounce matcha drinks & coffee drinks here. You might think this is a bad thing ... but in this case ... it is not. The matcha powder they use is not pre-sweetened. It tasted pretty good. I would not say this is best quality matcha powder you can find .. no The 24 ounce that I went with, sweetened lightly with simple syrup did the trick for me since they don't provide agave. If I want a HUGE drink to go ... I would definitely go back to these super friendly and fast baristas:

    Large Latte extra shot with oat milk - the best!!!

    The coffee is absolutely on point every time and all of the time. The staff is always friendly and gets orders out quickly with everything made to perfection. This is a must stop every morning. Thank you all for being so fabulous!

    Best Coffee Shop in town! Our server Grace was super nice. We got the Left Over Latte, Dirty Chai & Americano and each coffee came with a couple chocolate covered coffee beans. They also have amazing breakfast burritos!

    Came here for my first time today to try to Matcha latte over ice and it was soo good. I have a severe nut allergy and the sweet girl at the window was so helpful in making sure my drink was safe for me. She checked with her other employees and told me that all their milks (nut and not nut) are kept in the fridge together (not an issue for me). And even put a little sticker on my drink signifying that its nut free. I got it without the little choclate ball that usually comes on top (bc allergy) and my drink was soo good. Sadly I didn't catch the workers name but she was blonde and works at the S College location! Great first experience, will be back!

    A blended mocha and a frozen chai!  Yum!

    We enjoyed our Human Bean coffee drinks at the motorcycle rally this past weekend from the RV mobile coffee truck! I received a gift card and for some reason, the reader would not work from the number on the card. The young women helping us were so kind and said that they'd honor our purchase as if the card had worked. They also said we could get in touch with Human Bean and they would fix the card. We ended up tipping them the cost of our drinks as we didn't expect them to be so kind. This was our first time at HB and because the service was so good and our drinks were delicious, we will be back very soon and the little coffee bean on top was awesome!

    Great little place! Amazing chocolate covered beans........ come here whenever I'm in town and I love it! My mom goes here all the time. I'm a coffee snob if I approve it, GO.

    Tip Extortion Been…read moregoing there occasionally for 5 years. Service was hit and miss. Some staff friendly, some merely aloof, some seemingly hostile. Never could figure it out. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. I always support independent shops when possible. Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks... A few days ago it became clear. I ordered a bagel and requested it be toasted enough not to be raw inside. About half the time that's what I got. I paid and saw they wanted a tip upfront. I feel asking for a tip before earning it is unethical. So I selected no tip. I would gladly leave a dollar after. One of the staff, let's call him "Chris", toasted my bagel and delivered it to me burnt. No overdone. Burnt. As in mostly black. I said it was burnt. He replied that I requested it "double toasted". I looked at him like he was speaking in Swahili. I explained that I merely wanted it toasted and not raw inside. He insisted that I ordered it that way. He did not take my order. I said she wrote it but I did not say it. He insisted that I, the customer, was somehow so stupid as to not know how to order a bagel. I said "would you eat this"? Amazingly, he said with a straight face "yes". I replied that he could eat it but I want what I ordered. The baged was an insult. A childish lame attempt at revenge or punisihment. At this point "Chris" leaned over and told me I should be nice. Nice? Nice! I was flabbergasted. I was being scolded by kid a third my age. I was stunned. Was this a joke? Yes, but he was serious. It was an absolutely stunning display of passive-aggressive behavior. Delivered with a condescending smirk and self-righteousness. I replied that I am not nice and so what. He then insisted that I be nice. I said I am from the Midwest and we tend to be direct. It's not rude. It's the way we communicate. Honestly without hedging. This sailed right over his head unacknowledged, Then the truth. You didn't leave a tip he said. How did he know I didn't tip on the little checkout screen? I tried to explain my view on tipping that it needs to be earned. "Chris" was adamant that they expect tips as they are not paid much and work "hard". I reiterated my view and called tipping up front unearned and possibly undeserved as like Socialism. "Chris" did not like that and said that "people of my generation (Boomers are Bad!) don't get it." He further lectured me on how underpaid they were and that the "need" and thus "deserve" tips regardless of what service they offer. He then declared that a dollar tip was entirely insufficient. I replied that $1 on a $4 bagel was a 25% tip. He repeated that it was too little regardless. I said then how much is fair. He did not answer. My guess is that he knew as much about the mathematics of percentages as he knows about Swahili dialects. I offered that if they were to ask for tips after, the honorable way, they would earn more. People are motivated above all by fairness and would hedge on tips not knowing if they would be earned. "Chris" gave me the obligatory hourly-wage employee response that "that's the way it is"... The self-declared creatives have the ingenuity of cows munching grass. Then a kid decided to be a hero and intervened saying "WE don't have a problem with the tipping". In a stunning display of sociotropic behavior, he elected himself to defend the shop and represent all other patrons. I ran out of patience and told him to STFU. At this point the heroine server, who decided I like burnt bagels, told me to leave. So I did leave. I regret every penny I spent there to support their shop. So now I know why even as I liked the layout of the place, and all their countless little books promoting a myriad of pretentious woke socialist utopia topics, I never felt comfortable there. The all-inclusive did not like me invading their "Safe Space". Instead of just telling me "hey, this is our space not yours Boomer Boy" they instead were a case study in passive aggressiveness. A coward's way to feel all smug and self-righteous. Since they present themselves as fans of "literature" here is a literary quote (Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse Five... said to the character Billy Pilgrim in a hospital upon his return from being a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany... "I can carve a better man out of a banana" So I see that they have high ratings from their intended audience and I am a mere interloper. My little One star rating will not be noticed. I will end this saying "Be Nice"... "Stay Safe".... be good little normies.... tell your friends to go to Starbucks. p.s. The Wolverine is the state animal of Michigan, where I am from. It is fearless and righteous. No other animal takes it on. You don't deserve the name. May I suggest the "Weasel Farm Safe Place"...

As an every day black coffee drinker, I have to say, they were having a really bad coffee day. After a few sips of my coffee, I went back to counter and put a bunch of half and half into my mug of coffee. The barista was looking at me with an expression that said, "You should have ordered an espresso drink". They are forgiven for one bad coffee day.

They have matcha too, though I didn't really look at the matcha selection. There's something for you whether you're unfamiliar with different teas or a seasoned tea-drinker. The person that helped me with the loose leaf was very knowledgeable about the different teas. We had a great conversation about what we liked to drink, and they gave me a sample of a tea they thought I'd like based on what we talked about in addition to the three teas I bought. I went home with an ounce of Nepal Pokhara green, China lingering clouds green, sticky rice tuo-cha (pu-er), and a sample of Glenburn moonshine Darjeeling oolong. I haven't actually gotten to opening the two green teas yet but the pu-er and oolong are fantastic. On the teahouse side of the shop, you can get any of the loose leaf teas prepared for you, tea lattes, matcha, bubble tea, and some baked goods to go with your drink. I had a ceremonial matcha bowl (usucha). The matcha was good, but if you're just going to get one drink there, I think my recommendation would be to go with one of the loose leaf teas instead, because the matcha, while prepared very well, was just a run of the mill matcha, and they have so many unique teas. If you're in Fort Collins and have an interest in teas, this is a must-visit spot!
