Are you in the moo moo mood! Buffalo on a bike, and a cup of fresh steamed coffee dream. A great little gem of creative expression and espresso fun. The in house baked goods are exceptional. A great assortment of curious latte flavors. Don't pass go before you cycle on by.

Responding to the owner about my review:
Thank you for your response, but I found it a bit unclear and it didn’t fully address my main concern about the quality of your drinks, which don’t seem to be as good as they used to be. I also have some questions about your organic oat milk. I noticed it contains natural flavors, which one natural flavor can include up to 100 different ingredients, and sunflower oil, which is highly processed and may not align with a non-toxic product that you’re speaking of. For comparison, brands like MALK organic oat milk use simpler ingredients without stabilizers and oils. So I’d love to hear more about your ingredient choices and how you’re working to maintain the quality of your drinks. Thank you for taking the time to clarify!

Original review:
Cyclelogical Coffee used to be the heart and soul of our small town’s coffee scene. When it was at its original location, it was hands-down the best coffee shop around. I started coming here years ago, back when the owner was there every day, pouring his passion into every cup. We bonded over our love for a good brew, swapping stories about the best coffee shops down in the valley. Those conversations over steaming cups of perfectly crafted coffee made this place feel like home.
But things changed when Cyclelogical moved to its new location and the owner stopped working there consistently. The quality of the coffee started to slip. It was subtle at first, but as an everyday customer, I noticed. They even began roasting their own organic, high-quality beans, which should’ve elevated the experience. Instead, they started cutting corners with cheap ingredients like Kirkland brand oat milk—watery and grainy at best—or worse, Great Value milks and creamers, the lowest quality you can get. It’s heartbreaking to see a place that once prided itself on excellence compromise like this.
For years, I’ve been a loyal customer, ordering the same drink every day. But now, that drink tastes different every time I go in. The inconsistency is maddening—one day it’s decent, the next it’s flat or overly sweet, like the baristas aren’t trained to the same standard. It’s sad to say, but my home coffee, made with care and quality ingredients, tastes better than what I’m getting at Cyclelogical these days. That’s not something I ever thought I’d say about a place I’ve loved for so long.
I’m the kind of person who buys coffee daily and recommends Cyclelogical to everyone in town. I’ve sung their praises for years, but I can’t keep supporting them when the quality has fallen this far. It’s not just about a cup of coffee—it’s about the experience, the consistency, and the care that used to define this place. I truly care about Cyclelogical, and it breaks my heart to see it lose its spark.
I’m writing this review in the hope that it’ll encourage the owners to make some changes. Please, go back to using high-quality milks and creamers, invest in retaining and training baristas to ensure consistency, and bring back the focus on crafting the best cup of coffee on the mountain. You have the potential to reclaim your spot as the best in our small town. Until then, I’ll have to take my daily coffee ritual elsewhere, but I’m rooting for you to turn things around and make Cyclelogical the gem it once was.

Really good coffee and pastries. I had a hot pumpkin latte and went back for a chai later because it was so good. Both were amazing, not too sweet. Really cute shop too with friendly baristas, and dog friendly.

The staff is very friendly. There is a wide variety of goodies including vegan, gluten free, and regular fare.

I wish I could give them 6 stars! It's lovely and open inside with lots of natural light. Lots of gluten free items, scratch made and allergy/Celiac safe (dedicated equipment and workspace). The GF focaccia was thick, fluffy, and had great flavor, my sandwich was totally creative and delicious. The hibiscus lavender lemonade is homemade and delightful. Also creative coffee/matcha drinks - I got the orange spice and it was a good mix of flavor that didn't overpower their nicely roasted coffee. So friendly too!

Noisy, and terrible chai tea so much pepper it made me hiccup. Coffee was watered down and tasteless. Good equipment, staff did not know how to use it. Could not be more disappointed. Should have gone to the gas station.
