Tandem² — Restaurant in Fort Collins

We walked to tandemsquared after visiting the discovery museum on a play date and it was such a magical experience! The customer service cannot be beat! They made us feel so welcome and made everything SO easy (being a mom to a toddler in a public space is not easy)! The kids have an area to play with sensory bins, puzzles, blocks, etc. the ice cream was SO delicious and the cotton candy blew my daughter’s mind AND they even brought out a huge ziplock bag so we could bring the rest of the cotton candy home without the car being covered in cotton candy! It was very affordable too-3$ for that HUGE cotton candy is an amazing deal! The owner really cares about the customers and made the space for people to feel safe, comfortable, creative, and just enjoy being in a vibrant space. I feel like she has just thought of everything! So excited to go back and enjoy all the seasonal offerings as they continue to change up their menu. She also mentioned them adding additional play space downstairs that will be ginger bread house themed! So stinking adorable…I cannot recommend this place more highly, especially for moms that want to talk to their mom friends for an uninterrupted 5 min while their kids have fun. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful environment! We will be back...

You guys! This new coffee / ice cream shop is so danged cute! I never made it in to the old Dazbog here, but after seeing the name Tandem I considered it a must-stop (I'm a sucker for cutesy bike themes, what can I say).

The small coffee and scone-thing I got for $5 total were great! The sample of cookies and cream rolled ice cream that my son and I got were downright crave-able 🤤 and I can't wait to come back!

Cassidy and crew give off hella-welcoming vibes, it feels so FoCo. There is ample light streaming in from the south, so I think it'll be a great location for the darker and cooler months. For summer, there's an amazing little courtyard on the back.

The decor is SO charming - see the pics. I am so happy this place opened and that I followed my gut to walk in. Eager to see how this...

Tandem Squared is hands-down one of my favorite hidden gems in Fort Collins! As a local real estate agent, I’m always looking for cozy, welcoming spots to meet with clients—and this place checks all the boxes. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, and the vibe is chill yet creative.

I especially appreciate the intentional design and local art throughout the space—it’s the kind of spot where people can actually connect, work, or just relax. My clients always comment on how unique and cozy it feels, and it’s the perfect introduction to Fort Collins' community-focused culture.

Supportive of local makers, great Wi-Fi, and a peaceful atmosphere—Tandem Squared is everything a local coffee shop should be....
