Due to COVID-19, FoCo Cafe will be operating at a reduced capacity until circumstances change. Pick-up/Take-away meals are available from 12-2pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and will slowly increase to more days of the week (stay tuned!). Beyond this, we are delivering meals to some of our more vulnerable community members and are still in need for volunteers to help deliver and prepare meals. All available volunteer shifts can be found on our website to sign up for. Thank you and stay happy and healthy!

Join us at FoCo Cafe for some lunch and community! Our volunteers help us create a warm, and hearty meal using the ingredients donated by local growers and purveyors.

What The Community Says:

Love this place

The FoCo Café is not only a great place to have a delicious lunch; you are helping others who may not be able to afford a meal. This restaurant allows patrons to pay it forward, by volunteering your time and talents or paying a bit extra to help out a patron who may not be able to eat that day. The food is delicious and at the same time you are doing a good deed for the community.

Wonderful

Foco Cafe offers a wonderful, welcoming safe indoor and outdoor space with fresh locally sourced foods tastefully prepared; vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free options available. Price varies, we can pay it forward to subsidize those who need a discount, pay what we normally would for a nice meal elsewhere, or volunteer to help cover the cost of our meal. Local musicians frequently provide background music.

Food With Purpose

I have been visiting the FoCo Café for almost 2 years either by volunteering or stopping in for a meal. I have never been disappointed with the service or the food. Always fresh and homemade. From salads, soups and desserts everything is great. If you are ever in need of a fresh and filling meal and dining with people from all walks of life, this is the place to go.

Great community gathering spot!

Pay-what-you-can concept seems to be highly successful here. Menu is based on locally available, seasonal food and it’s always excellent. Love that it’s a nonprofit, too. Such a warm inviting atmosphere–and good food!

Great!

I recently had lunch at the cafe for the first time and it was great! As a vegetarian, it’s always a nice surprise to find a Caesar dressing that I can eat! The soup and salad were both fresh and very tasty! The iced tea was great too.

The atmosphere is welcoming and the sense of community it felt as soon as you walk through the door. Thank you to everyone that works so hard to make this amazing place available to all of us here in Fort Collins!

I love FoCo Cafe! I went there yesrerday for lunch and had the soup flight. I got four different kinds of soup and all of them were delicious! I think my favorite was the cheese and green chili soup. The atmosphere in the cafe is always positive. I was welcomed at the door, got great service from David behind the counter and got to listen to live music as I ate. Above all, I love seeing such a diverse group of customers. I usually go there for business meetings. FoCo Cafe is a place where everyone can dine together in a friendly and awesome space.

Simply delicious food with a heart of gold to boot.

I thought that the cooking here may be something like what you would get at a family get together, with mixes of foods not expertly cooked but decent enough to give a nod at.

The food here is excellent. The soups/croqs have a deep and satisfying flavor and texture that I would expect to find at an upscale restaurant. The salads are fresh and light, just the way they should be. The bread has the perfect moisture and crumble at the same time.

If you want a great local meal that is physically and soulfully heart warming, this is the place to be.

Amazing Place

FoCo Cafe is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in town. Their food is fresh and healthy and I love that they have vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options as well as meat options. They recognize that our community is diverse and they really do have something for everyone. They are always creative with new, fresh tastes and I’m always excited to see what they have come up with. This restaurant is definitely a staple in the community. I absolutely love that this place is a nonprofit and runs on a pay it forward basis. You can pay more if you have it or less if you don’t. Not only that, you can volunteer your time for a meal or just because you want to. FoCo Cafe is just an amazing place to go and every time you eat there, you have the opportunity to pay it forward in whatever ways you can. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!!
