Wild Boar

This place is all about atmosphere. It makes you feel like you're at home. They offer amazing coffee, a wide array of lunch items, and alcoholic beverages. This cafe attracts many college students, but kindly caters to all ages. One unique thing about Wild Boar is that they don't have a menu with predetermined coffees on it. Instead, they let you choose your own syrup flavors to put in your coffee. Wild Boar Coffee really has an amazing atmosphere that you can't find anywhere else. Go there if you want to really relax while drinking your coffee.

Starry Night

You've probably all heard of Starry Night, seeing as it is located on one of our busiest streets. This place has a great atmosphere, but their coffee isn't the best.  I'm not saying that their coffee is bad, but it definitely isn't the greatest. Whenever I go  there, I usually get a thai. Starry night also offers various food items. Even though their coffee isn't great, don't let that scare you from going there. They still have great tea and a good atmosphere.

Espresso di Cincotta

You've probably never heard of Espresso di Cincottas, but it really is worth your time. Its located inside of the Sunflower Farmer's Market. Its basically just a cart, but offers indoor and outdoor seating, and even free wifi. The coffee is amazing. Not too bitter, but just right. My favorite thing to get  here is the chocolate banana nut frappe. Then, just around the corner, you can get something to eat at Sunflower's bakery. Espresso di Cincottas truly is a great place. If you ever find yourself craving some great coffee, go there!

Jax

One  great place to get coffee in Fort Collins is Jax Outdoor Gear. It may not seem like a place to go enjoy some delicious coffee, but it definitely is. The coffee bar is located on the right side in the front of the store. They offer many unique coffee drinks ranging from a rum flavored coffee drink fittingly named the Jax Sparrow, to the Ancho Chili hot chocolate, to authentic Italian sodas. During the winter time, my favorite thing to get is the Sea Turtle, which is a hazelnut hot chocolate topped with caramel and sea salt. In the summer, I usually get a Vienna (cinnamon and vanilla) frappe. In my opinion, Jax has much better coffee than most large coffee corporations. It is my go to place whenever I want coffee. Why not make it yours?
