The ideal slow weekend morning starts right here. ☕✨
No alarms, nowhere to rush. Just dense foam, a generous dusting of cocoa, and real single-origin chocolate melted into steamed milk.

Whether you’re in the mood for a thick, molten Sipping Chocolate, a rich French, or our classic Hot Cocoa, our Old Town counter is warmed up and ready.

Pull up a chair at 214 Pine St. and ease into the day.

For this month’s Downtown Fort Collins Foodie Walk, we’re opening up our Fermentation Lab at Nuance!

Stop by this Friday to explore the microbiology behind craft chocolate and taste the raw side of the bean-to-bar process:

Taste the Pulp: Sample pure, pasteurized cacao pulp the sweet, tangy, lychee-like fruit that surrounds the seeds inside the pod before chocolate is ever made.

The 3-Phase Ferment: Learn how cacao undergoes three distinct stages (wild yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria) to develop its complex precursor flavors.

In-House Experiments: Check out trials and photos from our micro-batch Hawaiian cacao fermentation and see how small-scale testing connects to harvests around the world.

The Details:

📅 Friday, August 21 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 214 Pine St. (Downtown Fort Collins)
🎟️ Free community walk!

Grab your foodie crew and make sure to stop by Nuance this Friday evening.

We took the legendary, 44-herb blend of and infused it straight into a batch of rich, handcrafted dark chocolate truffles. Finished with a little golden and green sprinkle, it’s a bold, aromatic bite that balances deep cacao with that signature digestif herbal punch.

The ultimate afternoon pause. ☕🧱✨
​
There is something incredibly grounding about escaping the digital rush, pulling up a chair, and just enjoying a quiet moment with a warm drink in hand.

While many people know us for our wrapped single-origin bars, our Old Town café space was built for moments exactly like this.

​We love being a peaceful spot where you can duck out of the afternoon hustle, read a chapter of your book, or catch up with a friend face-to-face.

Two beans, two crafts, and one unforgettable Sunday morning. ☀️☕🍫

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our collaborative tasting with our friend Kyle Kmetz, founder and Roast Master of !

We spent the morning exploring the shared chemistry between craft coffee and bean-to-bar chocolate, diving into how regional fermentation, meticulous roasting, and terroir shape every single seed. Guests enjoyed a guided tasting flight, cracked open freshly roasted cacao beans right at the table, and got an insider look as Kyle demonstrated the art and science behind a flawless pour-over extraction.
