Cranknstein

I only discovered this place a few months ago and have now been in several times for coffee in the mornings and beer in the evenings.  Both are good (not great), but the best thing about Cranknstein is the friendly staff, especially Eric.  I like the combination café-bar-bike shop theme and I just saw a similar place last week in Bend, Oregon.  It's good to see people coming up with creative business ideas and maybe other combinations of businesses will appear in the future.

With kids, I don't get a chance to get out much for beers, but the coffee here is excellent. Easily some of the best in all of Fort Collins

Perfect spot for studying with a beer (no judgment). Conveniently located North on college so parking is easy. I have been here multiple times over the past year and have always had great service- not sure what others are really talking about with the "hipster" vibe because I have sat next to people aged 8-88 on a regular basis. Just a relaxed spot, check your mean reviews at the door.
