The house chai (AKA sweet chai ) and the chai milkshake (only available during summer) are THE BEST. During finals, make sure to arrive early and stake out a table - they fill up quickly!

Anthony Duran

Absolutely love this place! Such a sweet hidden gem of a coffee joint and general chill place. And after ten years of not being back in Fort Collins, how the hell did I forget to go!!!???

Marcco Higham

Lovely, whimsical atmosphere. I've spent so many dates, get togethers, and study sessions here I lost count. There's not many places as non-judgmental and easy going as the Alley Cat. Everybody <3 it

Public access computers (free & quick access to internet) and printing (from your laptop, smart phone, etc. 10 pages for $1) just ask your barista for a print card. eNotz.com

The Ode to Joy is delicious. This hole in the wall coffee shop has a hip eclectic vibe. One of my FoCo faves!

Cosmo Catalano

Awesome bike racks. Hang on the hook, lock through your frame and around the chain.

Monika McMahon

Great little spot for a coffee shop . The iced honey lavender latte was exactly what I needed.

Paul Hummer

Use a VPN and your own DNS server when using the Internet here. It's a completely open and often hostile network. Also, the OpenDNS filters are aggressive (HuffPost is blocked...)

Feasting Fort Collins

If I should ever become an insomniac again, The Alley Cat will be where I watch the sun rise and listen to the birds sing their good morning songs rather than from my couch watching infomercials.

Nicholas Diederich

Also a inexpensive place to print , or gain quick internet access for emails, etc. with: eNotz public access computers & print system.

Brady Huskey

Great drinks, especially the chai . Food/bagels...kind of stale. Atmosphere is loud and smelly. You'll want to go here at least once before you bring your stuff and prepare for an all-nighter!

Lora Elliott

Their drip coffee is pretty good, and anything with chai from there is awesome.

Evan Sayles

Super cool upstairs cafe ! Feels like a secret.

Carter Petrilla

Awesome here! Excellent jumbo cookies and impeccable milkshakes !

Definitely get the chai shake in the summer time. It's magic in a cup.

I. Broyer

Nice place, funky environment and nice people and good coffee . Perfect

Ginger chai is delicious. Ask for it to be extra gingery !

Mike Teknikscian

Iced red eye cat, ask for a little less sweet. Perfect.

Pink panther is my favorite. It's raspberry white chocolate mocha . Sooo good. :)

Try Red City Chai on Thursdays, $3.50 for a great dirty Chai !

Megan Miller

Best milkshakes , lousy wait staff .

Zeke Weeks

It gets packed on school nights- if bringing a laptop, be prepared with a charged battery in case you have to wait for a seat near outlets.

Monty King

BEST Matte Latte dream come true in a cup!

Eric Scott

Pretty decent tea selection , but as far as I can tell only one temp of water. Don't order green tea !

Allison M.

Great Chai , pretty good food, but incredibly slow service.

Bob Bowling

I think all the baristas are "medicated", couldn't remember my order for the life of them, & then apologized for making the wrong drink but said, "you'll like it anyway". WTF?

Luis Landa

Nice hot chocolate for a cold night...
