Bean Cycle

The Culture of College Ave - The Bean Cycle is a melting pot of coffee, art, kombucha, and consignment. The asthetic here is absolutely wonderful and pairs perfectly with your morning grind. The staff is more than friendly and there's plenty of room for your study group, not to mention rentable art studios for all of your creative needs.

The location is quirky and eclectic, if a little jumbled. Their sign isn't easily read when walking down the sidewalk, it says Community Coffee or something similar, so I couldn't find it the first time. I've been there 4 times now, and 2 of those times the coffee was so poorly made it was actually unpleasant to drink – not the best odds. I'm sure it could be an amazing place with some guidance for the staff on how to select the correct beans for the coffee requested, the grind size and milk prep. I really want to like this place – I'm looking forward to completely revising this review once it's more consistent.

I tried both their house blend and Brazil coffee roast and loved them both. I definitely recommend this shop for your coffee drinks. Hubby and I always have the espresso, no sugar or additives and this gives me a very good idea of the beans quality. Ps: I got a book, a bday card (photo) and a felt ornament in the store inside the coffee shop. Such a pleasant time inside this place!

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!
