[fusion_text]Colorado is such a tease; sunshine and blue skies fade overnight into gray drizzle and a chill without the slightest hint of remorse. Colorado knows she can get away with being a little morose from time to time and we’ll only love her more. A taste of how Washington lives most of the year is gladly accepted and even anticipated by some, especially since most of our year is spent sun-kissed. I digress.

Gray days always elicit a coffee and pastries response if I am left to my own devices and, as it turns out, that’s always. If you find yourself in Fort Collins, near Old Town, one of my favorite places to sit and take in a quiet moment with some high quality coffee and a pastry is Harbinger Coffee on the southwest corner of Mason and Mulberry. Harbinger offers a truly unique experience as far as coffee goes and their offerings extend beyond just espresso. The design and the ambiance of the place are what first drew me in and the friendly staff and great offerings are what have kept me coming back.

Check out their website for current exotic coffee offerings and seasonal drinks or to learn the history behind this awesome, little place. They are opening a second location soon so keep your eyes peeled![/fusion_text][tagline_box backgroundcolor=”” shadow=”no” shadowopacity=”0.7″ border=”1px” bordercolor=”” highlightposition=”top” content_alignment=”left” link=”” linktarget=”_self” modal=”” button_size=”” button_shape=”” button_type=”” buttoncolor=”” button=”” title=”” description=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””]
