HARBINGER COFFEE — Restaurant in Fort Collins

I was passing through Fort Collins today and asked Siri "What's the best coffee in Fort Collins, Colorado," and she returned 15 locations, sorted by ranking. Harbinger was at the top, so I plugged it into Maps and arrived a few minutes later. To my pleasant surprise, I happened upon the most knowledgeable and painstakingly conscientious coffee shop owner I've ever met. Jonathan treated me to two different single cup brews of off-the-charts coffee. I've always preferred light-roasted floral coffees from East Africa and Indonesia. He happened to have two coffees that fit my ideal flavor profile...a Kenyan and an Ethiopian. After having the first cup, I knew I would have to try the other. They were both outstanding. Clean, bright, sweet, and the preparation was measured, precise and deliberate. I haven't seen this level of care (and more importantly, understanding) anywhere, even living in Seattle and working 10 years in the coffee business.

What a find. Oh how I wish I had access to a place like this near...

Moved to Cheyenne a little over a year ago on impulse and quickly realized the lack of coffee scene there. (This was disappointing as I'd come from Fayetteville, Arkansas, a city that features many brilliant coffee shops). Got a few recommendations for various coffee places in Foco, but decided to go with my gut and visit Harbinger (this was solely based on Instagram pics and seeing that they make their own syrup instead of using Torani or Monin, a personal grievance I have with most coffee shops) Now I drive the 45 minute route down from Cheyenne every Sunday just to get a quality coffee. Haven't had a bad barista yet, they're all super knowledgeable and passionate about coffee and make your beverage promptly. If you want coffee you can drink with ease and friendly service, Harbinger is your...

Came in today, Thursday the 14th of September, 2017, for the first time, as birthday treat. I've been meaning to stop in for a while now because I walk past it each day. To start, I was extremely disappointed to find out they did not have any more of their alternative milk in stock. I work at a coffee shop and if this were to ever happened we would have someone run out and get what we needed to ensure we could serve our customers. What came next was unexpected as well. My significant other ordered a $7 regular sized specialty iced drink, with whip cream. The whip cream they attempted to put on was not working. The solution they came up with for this problem was to hand the drink to her and say it had a little bit of whip. No apology and no incentive for us to ever...
