The Crooked Cup

Wow wow wow wow. Best café I have ever been to. The staff are the epitome of perfection

Incredible dark roast coffee and cinnamon rolls are larger than life. Good staff and the music is always on point. Coming from a local, this is my favorite café in Fort Collins. Good job.

Crooked cup is one of my favorite coffee shops in town. Great coffee and food. Incredible gluten free options. Great service and a comfortable place to set up for working. My go-​to when in Old Town.

if you like white chocolate soy raspberry mochas, you’re in good hands. atmosphere is fine. kind of typical small local coffee shop with a few tables and couches. nothing new or innovative about this place. location is prime, being right next to oak street plaza. their only saving grace is the homemade kolaches. they’re pretty good.

The folks working here are friendly enough and the coffee is okay but nothing really note worth is happening here. Also, they serve their drinks in paper cups even if you are staying which is kind of disappointing… The location is really stellar but there are other coffee places nearby. One awesome benefit of this place is the outdoor seating bar and also the window bar– both great for people watching.

Coffee is tasty, shop is comfortable and accommodates small meetings, independent work, chatting, reading etc. Best of all, the owner and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. If I lived locally I’d come here often.

Cute café in a great location with friendly service and many food and drink options. They have lot of cute kitsch on their café display such as an offer for 50c off if you hear the train go by. =)
The vegetable-​filled empanada-​like puff pastry was good but not particularly spectacular. The coffee was strong and fresh. The chai I had was fairly generic. I also had a lavender black tea latte… it was decent though unimpressive. It was a decent work environment, plenty of seating, though I wish it had more lighting.

The coffee is locally roasted and delicious. I had the house roast that was incredibly smooth. My boyfriend and I both had their house made brioche breakfast sandwiches. The brioche was flaky yet held together well with the generous amount of fillings. You get to choose your filling combination. I highly recommend this place. Lovely downtown location.

The chorizo breakfast burrito was wonderful but the service is pretty slow

Staff is really nice. I got a lavender tea latte and it was amazing! I would definitely go back!

Crooked Cup, is best described as an airport or office building coffee shop. The décor is modern and themed «crooked» yet it seems to lack any character or a homey feel that so many coffee shops have. CC is just down the road from Harbinger Coffee and Everyday Joe’s Coffee House both of which have distinct character and feel. I would highly recommend those two over CC.
The coffee at CC is okay– I ordered a large latte ~$ 5 (not a bad price) and it came in this massive mug. This mug was the largest mug I have ever seen, it took two hands to manage it. I was okay with that, more for my money, until I took a sip. The coffee lacked the finesse and craftsmanship found at some of the better coffee shops in FoCo. There wasn’t any latte art, and the milk wasn’t quite foamed enough, but the espresso was pulled pretty well– a little on the flat side.
Though I didn’t try any pastries– others seem to say that they are great. From what I saw they look amazing. The presentation could be better but I would say try a pastry if you try this place.

Kelli makes the best chai lattes and always gives out great suggestions! The brownies are heavenly and the prices are good.

A wonderfully quaint, little coffee shop with very kind and funny staff. I ordered a cinnamon roll and mango smoothie (because of the hot weather) and I was not disappointed. If you’re in Old Town and want a drink and/​or snack with GREAT service, this is the place to go.

Wow. Tried their light roast and found it to be one I could drink black. now that says a lot for me since I am a «heavy cream and stevia in my coffee» drinker.
Workers here are happy and energetic. They are so knowledge and even readily share their useful information within pleasant conversation. Now this is a friendly barista haven. I would just go here to talk to them cause I know I will be leaving so much smarter!
Can’t wait to come back here to spend more time here the next time!

Disappointing… The coffee was bland, the latte had a funny taste, and the bagel was stale. Given the quality of other coffee shops in town the crooked cup is below average.

Do not have enough good things to say about this place– great coffee, awesome staff and a nice atmosphere. They also carry Almond milk which is a big win for anyone who is lactose intolerant, allergic to soy, vegan, etc. I will definitely be back!

It’s a bummer that Indulge, the little Turkish café with exotic pastries didn’t make it in this town, but I’m glad to see a cute little coffee shop, The Crooked Cup in the location. It is a small space so now that the students are back in town it may get crowded, but when I visited last week I had my choice of tables to sit at for a couple of hours of work. It was nice that the server working that day immediately offered-​up the wi-​fi passcode when he saw that I had come with my computer.
They have a couple of pastry cases displaying what look to be some very good eats … I had a hard time choosing between the salted caramel brownie and the tiramisu cupcake (which won, and was delicious). There were some breakfasty pastries, and I saw on the menu that they also have Noosa yogurt, which is local and a current obsession of mine. Interestingly, there were little cups, mouthwash, and a little sign saying something about coffee breath in the bathroom. I didn’t know that coffee breath was something to be ashamed of? Nonetheless, the quirky touch made me smile. I’m sure I’ll be back.

The Crooked Cup is a new coffee shop to me. I was taking a friend of mine through a part of Oldtown Fort Collins to take her to a Turkish dessert shop called Indulge (Not to be confused with the bakery, Indulgence) Alas either during the three months I was gone there were either lots of transitions with businesses in Oldtown or I had my nose to the grindstone so much I missed the transition right out from under me. Indulge is no more, R.I.P. but while walking on the same block in the Oak Street Shopping area I saw the Crooked Cup. It was a place I never heard of before and thought it was worth trying.
We were too full from lunch to get any of their marvelous looking pastries but we got some coffee and a chai tea. Of course I got the chai. The chai was made well. It was well mixed and had none of that nasty residual powder that you get with some places that offer chai. For me that is a big bonus! We chatted it up in the quaint little coffee shop for a good long time while eating some chocolate truffles that we bought earlier.
The service and friendliness was spot on!
There are many coffee shops in Oldtown Fort Collins and many of them are often heavily congested, loud and very busy. The Crooked Cup is much more quieter since it is in the much less traveled Oak Shopping Center and makes a good place to just chill and a great place to read and study!

The Crooked Cup is my new destination for coffee in Old Town Fort Collins. It is also where we like to work remotely (a great chill place to get away from the office). The people are super nice and the coffee is great!

Crooked Cup is tucked away on West Oak, near some other lovely restaurants. Walking in, I was impressed at how homey the place was. The display case with old school smores — awesome!
I got an iced latte there. It was quite good, among the best in town. I inquired whether they have wifi, they do. So, I’ll be back — especially as it gets warmer, and I can make use of their small but nice front patio.
