Howling Cow Cafe

We've driven by the Howling Cow at the dairy for years as we drive between our home in Fort Collins and our cabin in Red Feather Lakes but have never stopped in. This morning we decided to make a special trip to the Howling Cow for breakfast then head back into Fort Collins. The cafe is located in a secluded, quiet, park-like setting surrounded by gorgeous nature. Business was steady, including any number of bicyclists. Their beverage menu is HUGE. Many choices. We kept it simple with coffee and espresso. Very tasty. Our food was average and my wife's prepackaged burrito was a disappointment. It had a weird grainy-mushy texture that could have meant that it was originally frozen and when microwaved, just didn't cut it. My "everything bagel" with cream cheese was ok. A little bland even with the spices that coated the bagel. That said, the prices are quite reasonable, the cafe and surrounding outside areas are spotless and the staff is friendly and greeted us as we walked in. There are two inside areas with tables. One in the front where the counter and staff are, just a few tables, and a large room behind with really cute pink and black/white tables that carry the cow theme. Lots of outdoor seating as well. Cows are loved here and there are cow themed items everywhere including a large variety of clothing articles and cow type souvenirs and such. There's a camera on a podium that let's you take pics of yourself or your group then email them to yourself. With everyone carrying smart phones and doing selfies, I think the time has passed for that novelty but I'm sure the kiddies in the family would love it. All-in-all a good experience and I recommend that you stop in if you're passing through.

The root beer latte is awesome and kept me in a good mood all day. By using coffee ice cubes, the drink never got diluted. I'm impressed the taste even stayed consistent as the coffee cubes melted. Burrito is good but very salty and has got mushy egg texture as someone mentioned. They're under construction now and the trailer location has a few chairs inside and outside. Nice people too.

You have to try the root beer latte. It sounds odd, but tastes amazing. Very nice staff. The parmesan bagel was tasty, and I picked up some Noosa yogurt to eat later. Very glad I stopped in while driving back to Fort Collins.

This place makes you feel so welcomed with excellent service. We were given samples of their special milk of the month, blueberry, and it was fantastic. Amazing breakfast sandwiches, coffee drinks with fun names, dairy products and other merchandise for sale. There's a beautiful outdoor area for sitting on beautiful Colorado days with a small trail by the pond.

We did a tour on the dairy farm and really enjoyed ourselves. Then stopped in for a delicious latte. I got the Root Beer Float milk latte 🤤. There's a variety of items like sandwiches, ice cream, coffees and all their different milk flavor they make.

Lost out of FC Northbound and found a small sign directing me to the Howling Cow to the left. What an absolute gem to find. A dairy farm slinging one of the best breakfast Bagels I've ever had. The young ladies inside were rockstars, and The Salted Caramel milk. Are you kidding me. Will definitely be back.

The best bagel ever, definitely worth a mid morning snack. The coffee latte was beyond amazing. Beautiful little cafe gift shop combo

I had never heard of this place, but I wish I had! Everything is natural, wholesome products, from their 3rd party for-sale items, to their coffees, to their signature dairy products! The place is in a beautiful location and I'm sure bicyclists enjoy the refreshing treat on the trails nearby! Will definitely go back, as their milk is wonderful and their service was as well!

The setting, service, and food/drink were spectacular. Totally worth the drive from Fort Collins to enjoy this place. The iced white mocha was a treat and the honey cinnamon latte was Devine. We even had a selection of gluten free bread, bagels, and desert which was fantastic! Will be returning soon!

Noosa! The staff is very friendly, the coffee is good and the scenery is beautiful. Don't forget you're at an active dairy - be prepared to smell cows (which I rather like, frankly).
