44 Best Coffee Shops in Boulder

“The staff are so friendly!“

“Builds community and creates a safe space. Cute environment (monthly all-king drag show every first monday)“

“Well this was just delightful! For a few bucks, this was easily an hour's worth of information, entertainment, and sampling. The tour was really informative, and our tour guide had a good sense of humor. The gift shop has way more than just tea for purchase, and things are reasonably priced. The samples were great! They'll give you as much as you want.

Bonus tip: Don't miss the photo ops in the tasting room with the sleepytime bear. (Sexy husband not included!)“

“A wonderful experience if you've never tried mushroom and fused coffees and drinks! also provides a relaxing space to get work done or to meet up with a friend.“

“The baristas at the Laughing Goat were so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in.. I came here two mornings in a row to study because it was so cozy here and the coffee and pastries were amazing!

Highly recommend this cute coffee shop if you are in town. The blueberry pastry is 10/10 perfection!!!“

“I went to Boxcar looking for a good cup of coffee. I’ve searched maps, Yelp, Google, and TikTok for places where the beans aren’t burnt or over-roasted. I wanted a welcoming spot with friendly baristas who take the time to help.

It’s not Pergamino in Colombia, where customer service is next level because livelihoods depend on it and employees are given time to train and connect—but this is the closest I’ve found. Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable staff who explain their beans and give great recommendations.

I was able to drink my coffee black—something most places don’t allow because their beans are over-processed and burnt—and it was delicious. Definitely coming back.

I can’t wait to go when it’s a bit slower and pick the baristas' brains even more.“

“We had such a lovely experience here! It’s so cute and welcoming inside. The baristas were super sweet. I highly recommend the matcha and oat milk. When I come back to visit Boulder, I will definitely be visiting again. ❤️👏❤️👏“

“This is the greatest place on earth… Ok but really, this place is 10/10. The staff is incredible, the tea and coffee SLAP, and this is one of the coziest places to chill at. Literally, Pearl Street and Boulder would turn to trash if it wasn’t for Trident. 10/10, best store/cafe in Colorado and the entire South West. Support this amazing place!“

“I love it here!! I order the house chai with almond milk and their coffee, both are so delicious. The view is one of the best in terms of coffee shops in Boulder, and the cups are so cute!

Also, the atmosphere inside is great they have plenty of outlets, the music is pretty calm, and the plants inside look like they are all thriving.

Can't wait to come back!!“

“Great coffee and the most friendly staff around. <3“

“A busy little cafe on Pearl Street. The coffee was excellent, albeit we felt the cup sizes were smaller than in other cafés. We enjoyed the coffee cakes (the banana nut flavor was our favorite) and there was a diaper changing station available in the restroom for our baby, which was extremely helpful. It was a little hard to find tables for the four of us, but we were able to make do.“

“One of my favorite long-standing Boulder traditions...the weekend ALWAYS begins with a Father/Daughter breakfast at the Village. The staff is INCREDIBLE...true legacy Boulder.“

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

“Great espresso and super friendly staff, I love the variety of beans they offer. I don’t consider myself a coffee snob but I feel like each of their roasts has a unique flavor. I also love that they offer you some sparkling water for free when you order a plain espresso shot.“

“This lovely locally owned coffee shop delivers one of a kind coffee with quality service. I read on their website that this place is owned by a Colorado native who attended CU. We love to support local which is why we decided to try this place ! The coffee was top tier their bold flavors really came through in the lattes. I tried a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised by the subtle notes of nut and amazing coffee flavor. We also had some of their sweet breads and enjoyed them. The vibe inside this establishment is fun, casual, and upbeat. The barista was ultra friendly and helpful. The prices were on par with other local coffee shops and the coffee far exceeded the standard in the area. I would recommend giving this place a try !“

“Pleasant and friendly !“

“I love this coffee/plant shop, and get a latte often. The crew is very friendly and greets me by name! It’s easy to grab a bagel at Big Daddy’s or a yummy breakfast burrito next door at McDevitts to go with your Heady coffee. It’s a perfect way to start your day.“

“What a great place! Love it!“

“Excellent coffee from a rad guy! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing selection, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere... This is my favorite coffee shop on the entire front range. Sweets and pastries available, they also have a bar! The outdoor seating is perfect for bicyclists about to embark, or returning from epic climbing.“

“The coffee is good. But what's better is the sun when it hits their giant wall of a window. It's like that scene in Chronicles of Riddick when they escape from prison and the sun beam is coming towards them, scorching the planet. You gotta get your coffee and get outta there - ONE SPEED, MY SPEED - if you wanna survive.“

“Outstanding highly recommend glad they open early almond milk latte was yummy“

“Great coffee and the most friendly staff around. <3“

“My husband & I and our little dog had a fantastic stay!

They covered the basics and so much more.

Location is just about a mile from Pearl street with dozens of restaurants. The beds are comfortable. Rooms are set up efficiently with an L-shaped coach & desk. Free breakfast and wifi. Easy street parking if you want. Coffee available even after breakfast hours. Cookies in the evening.

Nice surprise — trivia in the lobby bar area Monday night.

And the best part was the staff, especially the manager Matt. The staff are friendly and work as a team. At check it there was just one other person checking in and the bartender jumped in the open a 2nd line

It’s a national chain, but we had a family owned business experience.“

“Good breakfast sandwich and nice staff. I'd suggest using real fried eggs in the sandwich though, in lieu of the premix omelet. I'd come in more often if that was the case, favoring your competitor on the other side of the strip mall there, who use fried eggs. Your price is better though, so I enjoy it now and then. I like the atmosphere at your place better.“

“This is such a great page to find out all the amazing things about Boulder.“

“besides the homeless yellin & kickin its cool the most ( frothiest ) milk ive ever had in my coffee“

“This is a convenient location for all the people who work in the surrounding office park. OZO offers a small but diverse selection of breakfast options - pastries, breakfast sandwich, and four varieties of breakfast burritos. The cold brew coffee (served over ice) is fine. This location has a strong brewery aroma due to its location in the same building as Upslope Brewing, so it's a different atmosphere (literally) than most coffee shops.“

“Super yummy in all ways. I had the Cobberado salad and didn’t disappoint. Fresh and refreshing!“

“Really good gelato. Definitely worth it.“

“Lately it feels like getting food out just isn’t worth the dollars. Places want to give less and less while charging more. But here is an exception. I’m never disappointed when I come here and order onigiri or a pastry and a latte. Great quality. Thank you, Dry Storage.“

“I will be HERE in the A.M. to have a VERY IMPORTANT REALATOR MEETING🏦🏘🏘🏘 I was impressed with the friendliness and GRINDI SAW YESTERDAY ☕♨️☕ : : : MichaelMacThomas“

“I have (so far) visited La Colombe Coffee in Boulder at Wholefoods Market 5-6 times. I usually get the Mocha or the Black and Tan cold brew. Usually Ruth is behind the counter and she is always very pleasant and helpful :). I love La Colombe coffee for the taste and also for the fact that I find it less bitter, thus it sits with me better than other's I have tried. In short always a good experience!!!“

“Great coffee and the most friendly staff around. <3“

“Thank you for making my day, with something you do everyday!“

“Great food. Best gyro my kids ever had“

“This place is my go to for breakfast and coffee in the morning. Employees are always welcoming and friendly. The food and drinks are great, as well as the atmosphere. Clean design and lots of cool grateful dead memorabilia around the store.“
