22 Best Cafes in Boulder

“I’ve been using Skratch for awhile. Switch between it and Tailwind but I prefer Skratch for my marathon training. The carb/ sodium ratio is exactly what I need for my fall race. The passion fruit guava is amazing. Wish it was not a limited edition flavor. All of the flavors are great as well. Definitely recommend Skratch“

“Absolutely love the bison 🦬 pastie. The 🦃 Rueben & Cobb salad are other good choices. The ☕️ is tasty. I highly recommend Shamane’s Bakery.“

“Great service and good food!“

“We love this place. Coffee is great, food is tasty and the staff is nice. I only wish portions were bigger especially for the price.

Both outside and inside are great to hang out at. It gets quite busy on weekends. Highly recommended.“

“Hats off and a big thanks to Logan's Espresso Café for Helping Boulder get the message out to complete your #2020Census Forms. If you have NOT, respond today online at www.2020census.gov.

“I got an Arnold Palmer after an almost 4 hour hike — with watermelon lemonade instead of regular lemonade. Amazing and refreshing! Then they had a deal on burritos so I got one with egg, sausage, bacon, cheese, and tators. Phenomenal! It’s a nice little place and I’m excited to go back!“

“I've been to Stinger's Hellems location twice now, once for drinks and a snack, once for lunch and both experiences have been great. Fast, friendly service, love that they carry Outrageous Baking Company pumpkin bread, and the sandwich and salad I had for lunch were fresh and tasty. A great addition new quick and easy food option on campus!“

“Food is absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent as well. Little bit dark and small, but the vibe is great. We walked in with 11 in our party and they rocked it! Thank 😊 you Cafe Blue for your hospitality and giving us a favorite new place!“

“I stopped by here after lunch yesterday and got the black sesame latte with a shot of matcha. The combo sounds kinda insane but it was one of the best drinks I’ve had from a coffee shop in years ❤️ S/o to the kind barista who recommended it!“

“A cool little place with good sandwiches, pizzas, calzones, salads and Gelatos. It has healthy bites and quick snacks. The place has a cool little fireplace and is a good hang for friends or homework. The best part is that it's open after midnight.“

“I love Spruce Cafe! They have everything Spruce Confections has but without the Pearl Street traffic. Super cute and modern interior. Friendly baristas :)“

“Great store. I especially like the Thursday night speakers. Staff is always pleasant and positive.“

“January Coffee supports human rights.“

“Great place for people to grab a bit to eat. My favorite sandwich is the “MARCI” delicious!“

“The food was outstanding!! My husband and I have been to Barcelona, Spain and this chef did a fantastic job capturing the flavors of Spain. Very well thought out menu and the food did not disappoint. Tanner was our server and he was very pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed his hospitality. We plan to come back with a large group to try their paella.“

“If you want good coffee & cookies with that homemade taste, you need to visit this Cafe. The ambience is very inviting as well.“

“We got the Thanksgiving sides from Community Kitchen - and I think it was the best - least stressful - Thanksgiving we've had so far! All Gluten-free as well, which was great for our crowd this year. Our favorites were the mashed potatoes (no skimping on the butter :), the mac-n-cheese and the quinoa-stuffed acorn squash. We had 6 adults with generous appetites - and ended up with an impressive amount of leftovers for next couple of days. Friggin' delightful.

Will definitely do this again. Thanks Bridge House team!“

“Stopped by Alpine Modern on University Hill in Boulder and their coffee was absolutely delicious! ☕✨ A perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cup.“

“This place does so much with very little. The minimal staff is always attentive. The interior is quaint and clean. The photos and decor inspire a feeling of travel and wonder. The food is magnificent and so reasonably priced it feel like the best kept secret in Boulder.“

“This is a very large Panera. I'm used to the Panera's in Fort Collins and Loveland and this branch is probably twice as large. It is immaculately neat and has a stunning view of the Flatirons mountains. It's the same Panera coffee drinks and food. Panera coffee is mediocre but it's self-serve with unlimited refills. The Wi-Fi seems slightly weaker than other Panera's I've been to. The bathroom has a coded lock that you have to ask for the combination. As always the $16/month sip club is a fantastic deal giving you unlimited coffee tea and cold drinks. It's located in the 29th Street Mall right near the Target and the Whole Foods on Pearl. It's also right next to Boulder RTD bus stops.“
