I just moved to Fort Collins a month ago and have been trying to visit every coffee shop in FoCo, which is a tall order. So far, Harbinger stands out for their incredibly kind and talented baristas, and welcoming, cozy atmosphere. They do the best cortado, serving it on a tray with a seltzer water. And they make scrumptious gluten free donuts daily.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options (delicious donuts and muffins)

Introduced to this coffee shop by a friend, this is the only place I get my coffee beans now. You can bring your own bag for coffee bean bulk purchase (only for certain roasts, otherwise they have pre-packaged) and they are one of the few places I've been to that can do a decent straight espresso shot. Highly recommend if you are particular about your coffee.
By far my favorite coffee shop in town!! Their espresso is always perfect, you can tell they put a lot of care into making each drink and I've never been disappointed. They always make my drink exactly the way I like it. Their employees are so friendly and wonderful and it's so nice to know that they've all been around for so long. I buy my coffee beans from them as well and they have an awesome selection. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend everyone gives them a try!

I went to Harbinger Coffee on my last trip to visit Fort Collins. I lived in Fort Collins about ten years ago and I am pretty sure the place wasn't around then as Steve and I did do a good job at visiting every coffee shop in town at least once. The place has a clean, sleek feel whI always appreciate and the Vanilla Latte I had with a pastry item I liked pretty well. I enjoyed the barista for her unique look. I can't quite describe what she was going for but it was kind of on the lines of a demented clown look that was quite purposeful. One thing when I lived in Fort Collins that really bothered was the lack of quirkiness in people so I found this extremely refreshing and kudos to the coffee shop owners for letting their staff let their individuality shine. I bought a bag of beans to take home (Washington state) and brought them to work where we share and rotate different coffee varieties from around Tacoma with my colleagues. The coffee on the day brewed that I purchased from Harbinger tasted great but often times if it was refrigerated and polished off the next day the flavor somehow turned unappealing. Granted, fresh coffee is preferred by me and my colleagues but we aren't about to waste any leftover coffee from the day before and the coffee that we bring in... all from Washington state almost always holds well over into the next day so I am not too sure why there is such a difference with the bag at Harbinger.

It's my first time here. Super chill coffee joint, the coffee tastes great too! I would recommend to anyone looking for a solid coffee shop in FoCo.

Best espresso and coffee in town. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very relaxed. Both locations are a great place to meet a friend or read a book with a croissant and a latte. <3

The matcha I got tasted very high quality, but I can't day the same for the staff. Not all the staff, but the lady at the register was rude and

I would agree with some other reviews noting the coffee here is more "purist," or "minimal" when it comes to their offerings. That doesn't make it bad, in fact the espresso is fantastic! But when I come here it is a very clean, stark, specific place to get coffee. Come here if you are willing to pay a little bit more for specialty coffee. Worth coming for the taste, not the greatest place to hang out in my opinion

I have worked in old town for a couple years, which means I have become a coffee aficionado. Harbinger is a great place to focus on some work, read a book, or listen to some music. I was obsessed with their cappuccinos for a long time. However, you can’t go wrong with the matcha.Great people. Great coffee. Nothing but love for everyone over there ?
