CitiWerks Café: Where Casper’s Past Meets Its Future

Downtown’s new café and co-working hub brings historic charm and modern ambition under one roof.

 

Walk through the doors of 162 S. Wolcott Street, and you’ll feel it immediately — the blend of history and fresh energy that only a city like Casper can pull off. The brick walls whisper of 1896, when this downtown landmark was first built, but the espresso machine hums a modern tune. Welcome to CitiWerks Café, where great coffee meets big ideas.

 

A Café With a Mission

CitiWerks isn’t just a spot for caffeine—it’s a community hub designed for connection, creation, and collaboration. Downstairs, baristas hand-craft espresso drinks using imported beans and Swiss equipment. Upstairs, professionals and entrepreneurs share a coworking space complete with meeting rooms, high-speed internet, and even a 3D printer.

 

In a town that’s always balanced blue-collar grit with independent spirit, CitiWerks gives Casper’s thinkers, builders, and doers a place to recharge, refocus, and get things done.

 

Craft Coffee, Hand-Made Chai, and Local Flavor

The café’s menu reads like a love letter to quality and simplicity. Every ingredient has purpose—whether it’s the house-blended chai (made with hand-added spices, never powder), or the buttery croissants that pair perfectly with a morning latte.

 

Coffee lovers can choose from a range of brews, from strong Swiss espresso to smooth pour-overs. There’s also a growing food selection featuring pastries, salads, sandwiches, and even chocolates from Donnell’s Candies, another Casper favorite.

 

It’s not just what’s on the menu that matters—it’s how it’s made. CitiWerks imports directly from trusted sources, using technology to keep costs low while maintaining premium quality. The result? Exceptional drinks without the big-city price tag.

 

Old Bones, New Vision

At its core, CitiWerks is about transformation. The team behind it took a 19th-century building and gave it new life—keeping its original architecture and character intact while layering in modern functionality.

The exposed brick, industrial metal stairs, and natural light make it the kind of place that invites both inspiration and comfort. It’s easy to imagine freelancers typing away in one corner while friends gather in another to brainstorm a new business idea.

It’s a space that honors Casper’s history while embracing its future—a physical embodiment of what “Casper Forged” really means.

 

More Than a Coffee Shop

Upstairs, the café opens into a co-working environment that feels intentionally designed for today’s hybrid lifestyle. Members can grab a coffee downstairs, then head up to private phone booths or conference rooms for calls and meetings.

With flexible memberships and a welcoming layout, CitiWerks aims to foster a creative ecosystem—a place where local entrepreneurs, students, and small-business owners can thrive side by side. It’s part workspace, part incubator, and all community.

 

Why It Matters

CitiWerks Café arrives at the perfect time for Casper. As more professionals work remotely and seek connection outside the home, spaces like this are becoming vital for collaboration and innovation.

For downtown Casper, it’s another reason to visit—to grab coffee, meet new people, and see what’s brewing in the city’s creative scene. It’s proof that when vision meets local pride, good things happen.

 

Stop In and See What’s Brewing

Whether you’re a freelancer looking for a workspace, a student needing study fuel, or just someone who loves a well-crafted latte, CitiWerks  Café offers a fresh taste of what Casper can be.

Grab your laptop. Bring a friend. Support local.
Because sometimes, the best ideas start with a great cup of coffee.
