It’s no secret Fort Collins loves fresh, local foods. If you don’t believe us, just take a look at our year-round farmers’ markets, our farm-to-table restaurants (including the new Gold Leaf) and our charming family farms (like Happy Heart Farm and Sunray Natural).

With a lineup of local spots, specialty coffee houses, and tried and true shops right here in FoCo, you can grab a superfood snack any day of the week and get complete cleanses delivered right to your door. Happy sipping!

Yum Yum’s + Ma’s Juice Bar
Follow on Facebook
Yum Yum’s began in Fort Collins when the El Hakim family immigrated to Colorado and eventually discovered their dream of sharing Lebanese food with the masses. After 24 years, the eatery passed on to current owners, Travis and Cindy Stutzman, who have stayed true to the historic restaurant’s original family. Alongside traditional Mediterranean meals, you can get fresh pressed juices — including carrot, beet, apple and mint.

Alley Cat is our favorite (and the only) 24-hour coffee house in Fort Collins — but coffee isn’t all they have. As one of the most eclectic cafes in town, they offer delicious espressos and teas, sandwiches, snacks and 100% real fruit smoothies. Stop by in the morning for a soothing Hangover Helper made with ginger, peach, banana and orange juice; then come back in the afternoon for a fruity pick-me-up like the Midsummer Night’s Dream with peach, blueberry, mango, banana and orange juice.
Tasty Harmony

Tasty Harmony made our round-up of the best vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Fort Collins. In addition to a full menu of fresh and delicious foods, they offer whole meal smoothies and fresh pressed juices. Check out the full drink menu here, but try to curb your drooling. You’ll find a lineup of tasty choices like the A.B.C smoothie made with fresh almond brazil nut milk, raw cacao, almond butter, frozen bananas and raw honey.
Cuppy’s Coffee

Cuppy’s isn’t just a spot for freshly brewed coffee and tasty espresso drinks — though you will find a full menu of options. But if you haven’t tasted the team’s fresh fruit smoothies, it’s about time you did! Add a shot of protein to any sweet mix and stop by on Friday to get 50 cents off any smoothie.
RAC Cafe & Bar

Did you know the Raintree Athletic Club’s cafe is open to the public? Stop by Monday through Saturday for Morning Happy Hour; then come back for Evening Happy Hour where you’ll be able to sip draft beers and wines. While you’re there, you can grab a Wunder Juice bevvie or a freshly blended smoothie with fruit, peanut butter, avocado, yogurt and more healthy ingredients.
