Their tag line sums it up "Hometown Food." With an ever-changing menu featuring fresh of freshest ingredients you won't be disappointed. Tip: Hit up their Happy Hour and on Tuesdays, it runs fro 3pm to close!
What started as a small cheese shop with a few tables sitting & sipping wine along with amazing cheese boards it has grown to a hustling expanded space. Tip: Get a homemade cannoli, made from proprietor Tina Mooneys special recipe.
Bar & Soda Fountain
Self-described as casual, crave-able, comfort food, and that it is! During the warmer months, the outdoor dining area is hands down one of the best in Fort Collins.
Our #1 go-to for authentic Michoacan cuisine and an incredible selection of margaritas. A local family doing it right!
Not just a distillery by any means. Some of the friendliest servers and amazing bites come out of the kitchen, not to mention authentic craft cocktails. Tip: Try the "Turning Violet" with blueberry rum, lavender simple syrup, ginger beer, and lemon juice.
Baked with care, everything from scratch, and worth every mouthwatering bite. They source local as much as possible and create unique twists on classic favorites based on seasonal availability. Tip: If you haven't been...go! It is like no other bakery in Northern CO.
Without a doubt, Cafe Vino is a well known hot spot in Fort Collins and this is a reminder to hit them up for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Some of the finest cuisine in Northern Colorado with a menu that is continually evolving and serves all foodies well.
Not only do they serve up the best cider in Colorado, but the menu matches perfectly with a good glass of hard cider. Tip: Sandwich lovers, this is the place to go!
Under one roof you can choose based on what you're in the mood for. The Cafe is described as classic favorites with new traditions. The Cache is Colorado inspired with a more adventurous menu. The Market & Bakery is a cozy place to meet a friend over a fresh baked item and coffee with unique gifts. Rooftop is the spot to be on a warm summer night with live music.
2 Colorado guys decided to open a place that reflected everything they love about this great state; local food, local beer/spirits, art, artesian goods, music, and more. Even their tables and bar are handcrafted locally with recycled beetle kill wood! This is a casual place you'll want to go and hang out with friends and the food is delicious!
You don't have to travel across the ocean to feast on French cuisine because we have an amazing French cafe right here in midtown FoCo. Serving breakfast & lunch with all menu items made from scratch! In a hurry? Stop in at the bakery and pick up a fresh croissant (or several) to go.
There are many more local eateries with not enough room to list all of them here! So, to discover more local eating/drinking spots go to Downtown Fort Collins or Visit Fort Collins.
