Our son and his fiancee were visiting for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we took a drive downtown and ended up in Hyde Park. The other two coffee shops were already closed for the day (at 12:30), and good for them. Java was still open, and very busy. We liked the energy, and the staff were very nice. It's a place where people come to just relax and hang out, and people just seemed to be enjoying themselves. I didn't get a drink, but my wife, our son, and his fiancee all enjoyed theirs. We will definitely be back.

Our son and his fiancée just moved to Ft. Collins. My wife and I were visiting from Boise. We came here for a late dinner on a Thursday night. Inside was a curved bar on the left and tables throughout the dining area. It was not busy and we were seated right away. The young woman serving us did a great job. We ordered fish and chips, Ranch chicken wrap, veggie burger, and one other dish. The sides were homemade chips, fries, and sweet potato fries. All the food was very good. They also have a large selection of beers on tap, though we didn’t imbibe.

I definitely recommend The Mayor of Old Town.
