Excellent coffee, seriously good food, and the staff has been incredibly kind and welcoming each time. The atmosphere is one of the best parts -- cool historic building, relaxed vibe, and just a really comfortable place to spend time. It feels like the kind of spot you can use for anything: work meetings, hanging out with friends, or just enjoying a quiet morning by yourself. Definitely becoming one of my go-to places in Fort Collins.

Today, the croque monsieur (the SO cringes at the way I pronounce it when I order because it sounds kind of like "croak mon-sewer") was particularly good. The SO's mushroom quiche was custardy with a good amount of mushrooms. The walnut chocolate chip cookie was an excellent thick homemade type of cookie. The sourdough loaf was spot on. 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.

Very cool artsy psychedelic vibe, with lots of comfortable seating in a few different rooms. The barista who took my order seemed friendly, and they called my name loudly enough when my drink was ready that I could hear it from the next room. I had a piece of strawberry bread and an iced spiced chai, both really good! The strawberry bread had this fresh, rustic homemade taste to it that I loved, and it was a huge slice. The chai was appropriately strong - the spicy chai is made with soy milk, but the tea was rich enough that I didn't really pick up on the soy flavour. I could tell it was proper chai and not something made from a packaged concentrate. I wish I lived in Fort Collins so I could come here all the time!

I've been to Dark Heart about a half a dozen times. Their drip coffee is consistently very good…read moreand the cortados excellent. They offer sparkling water with their cortados, as some cafes do, which is a pretty cool touch. Sometimes they offer the choice of two different roasts for their espresso drinks, which I've never seen before anywhere else, ever. Stop reading here if that's all you need to know. Today. I order a Smokey Mocha (they also have a regular Mocha on the menu). Side note. It's really hard to screw up a mocha. At its most basic it's hot chocolate with shots of espresso. Even with bad or mediocre espresso shots there's usually enough milk and chocolate to cover it up. On the flipside, it's really hard to make a mocha that stands out from the crowd. (Spoiler-Dark Heart surpasses all that mocha mediocrity). Rewind. The first time I went to Dark Heart a couple years ago, a menu item caught my attention. The Smokey Mocha. My friend and I asked what it was. The barista at the register smiled and gave us her sales pitch. Something she'd obviously done many times and still didn't seem to mind doing. My friend and I were both sold as we each ordered one. After I was done with my Smokey Mocha, I wanted to order another. Unfortunately, we were coffee cafe hopping and had four more stops. When I got home, I started gushing about my Smokey Mocha to the SO and anyone else who would listen. Fast forward back to today. I order the 8-ounce Smokey Mocha for here. My drink has a nice heart design with a generous amount of black lava sea salt sprinkled on top. I smell notes of cocoa, but I can't tell if it's from the espresso (Relentless blend) or the cocoa powder. With every sip I take, I taste warm sweet (from cane sugar and maple syrup) mocha that ends with a touch of salt. The smoked paprika is an afterthought. I savor my drink, but I reach the bottom of my mug much too quickly. I swirl the mug to get the last dregs of salt and cocoa powder (single origin cocoa powder from the Philippines according to the barista). As I drive away, I can taste the salt on my llips, and I still feel the astringency of the cocoa powder in my mouth. This is no ordinary mocha drink. The Dark Heart Smokey Mocha has no equal.

I appreciated the vegan option. The brownie was very average and a little dry, but to be fair, I took it home and ate it two days later, so I probably didn't get the peak experience. I really liked the GKG mocktail (ginger beer-kombucha-grapefruit). The baristas were friendly enough and the place looked clean. They weren't too busy around lunch time, but I was there over the summer, so I imagine it gets a lot busier when more students are around.
