Breadworks Bakery & Cafe

The cup or bowl of soup, plus house-baked bread, is one of the best deals in town for an inexpensive lunch. Highly recommended!

Very overpriced food that’s just sitting under a heat lamp all day so it tastes gnarly

Needs a makeover and new management. The large cafeteria-style establishment could be reduced in size by half if it helps increase quality across the board. At morning rush there were few customers. No wonder.

An absolute gem of a place! So many treats and choices for meals too! Definitely go check them out.

Great pastries, and I love the a la carte healthy breakfast options. More down to earth than most of the breakfast/lunch spots in Boulder. I like that

Bread and pastries are good and pricey. However, I don’t understand the attitude of the staff towards customers? The woman making sandwiches was very offended when I asked for my $15 sandwich to be cut in half. Does this company underpay their employees? They have the nerve to ask for a tip at checkout when I ordered my food to go, waited a long time for my sandwich and the employees are hostile.

Such a yummy spot to have in our community! I always, always find something amazing and healthy to eat and I love that they keep the menu changing. The golden mushroom soup is incredible! Always a delicious delight to stop here!

Don’t know what happened to this place but it used to be amazing now just mediocre grocery store French dessert

We used to eat lunch here three times a week. But we realized that the three soups only change rarely. The past fewweekd and probably before then the same exact soups were served for seven days. This is a health hazard. Food should not be reheated after two days max. Unfortunately we won’t be going to Breadworks anymore. It used to be our fav place. Now we are afraid that se will get sick, plus who wants to eat the same soup every day. Why did Breadworks change so badly

I understand that at times their offerings are not great for the price which is a shame because the food is generally quite good.
I especially love their breakfast items, quiche and spinach pie, as well as their salmon, chicken salad to-go and soups! I cannot eat much gluten anymore unfortunately but love their bread and fruit tarts.
Recently seems like they have more staff, hope they can hold on to them, this place is a Boulder staple!
I appreciate their Jewish holiday offerings as well

I love to come here for their great soups. For about $5 you can get soup with a few slices of bread. However, this summer there hasn’t been air-conditioning. The staff told me it has been broken for months. They are clearly uncomfortable working in the heat and I found it uncomfortable to be there. I really miss the fresh salad bar. Also the place is getting run down. There’s a huge buckle in the floor near the bathrooms that is a serious trip hazard; the finish on several of the laminated tables is messed up — at first I thought it was caked-on food. I’ve been really sad to see how the place is neglected and going downhill. This has been one of my favorite lunch places for years, but the heat and neglect is getting too much for me. I truly hope the management gets back on top of things and brings it back to its former, better days. There are so many great places in Boulder, it’s going to be hard to compete. I would truly hate to lose BreadWorks…

I’ve shopped there for many years. Quality of prepared dinners have gone downhill. Bought Chicken Enchiladas and Turkey Pot Pie. Short on tomatillo and cheese for enchiladas just loaded with chicken and very dry. The Strawberry Rhubarb pie was awful. Pie crust should be light flaky and buttery the crust was like a thick pizza dough and filling gelatinous with no recognizable fruit. Turkey pot pie was just okay. I spent a good amount of money and won’t be going back. Very disappointed

$4+ for a plain and sub-standard croissant. Pricing is insane.

Horribly rude employees, they don’t even know the price of the food that they’re selling and then they give you an attitude when you ask what the price is. You can tell when a place is poorly managed by the attitude of their customer service representatives. Obviously, this place is less than, well managed!
