The best cup of coffee in Fresno/Clovis? Here’s who Bee readers say rank in the Top 10
Last week, we ran a poll asking readers who they thought made the best cup of coffee in Fresno or Clovis.
The winner was clear: Fulton Street Coffee.
It got 25% of the vote.
The downtown coffee shop has been at the corner of Fulton and Tuolumne streets, in part of the Warnors Theatre building, since 2018.
Fulton Street Coffee is a little place that’s independently owned, with customers often stopping by to pick up a drink after ordering via its app.
Owner Omar Octavio Vargas is a longtime supporter of downtown and roasts his own coffee. His cafe con leche is a popular favorite, a twist on the Latino staple cafe de olla and inspired by a drink at the former Cafe Corazon.
In addition to the quality of its coffee and the “cool people” who work there, Vargas said customers appreciate the coffee shop’s values.
“Our customers are also grateful to have a local cafe with a passion for the art of roasting and brewing good coffee and a strong mission for sourcing coffee ethically and treating employees fairly,” he said. “Businesses like ours show people that it’s possible to run a sustainable business that listens to employees and pays fair wages.”
Fulton Street Coffee beat out some bigger players in the poll like Starbucks, Dutch Bros and Kuppa Joy.
Who else made the top 10?

The “choice I do not see” option led voters to a write-in field. The only coffee shop with enough write-in votes to rank in the Top 10 (at No. 10) was Aurum Coffee.
Aurum is a coffee shop inside the Arch Haus Of Brows at 2053 W. Bullard Ave.
