“January Coffee supports human rights.“

“This truthfully is one of the hidden gems of Boulder. Extensive offerings of ORGANIC TEAS, along with a big menu of COFFEE, BOBA, and many yummy SPECIALTY DRINKS. Great seating and atmosphere for gathering, or working. If you are a digital Nomad, there is an abundance of outlets, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The gem is that they have carrying & thoughtful owners in Alicia and Jeff, which is why they are a staple in the community.

If you have not been, or just have not been in a while, please support this wonderful local business.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My drink was really good. The coffee was strong and fresh. My colleague purchased the tea, which is brewed to order. They were a bit busy in the morning but that is expected. However, they did move pretty quickly. The staff wasn’t the friendliest, but I would return for the coffee when in town.“

“Ruzo is a great little neighborhood coffee shop in North Boulder serving espresso drinks, yummy chai, and lots of decadent decaffeinated options, not to mention chocolate covered strawberries! Plus they showcase the artwork by local artists. Kamala, Berenice and Christian are always so warm, friendly and welcoming!“

“The laughing goat has a fantastic Eurocentric Luxury Cafe vibe.

But what really makes it stand out is how it manages to be affordable. Its the little things. The fresh flowers in the alcove by the door. The delectable choices of food and drink and the warm honey atmosphere that make the laughing goat a boulder stable and a great place to go meet greet and be merry!“

“Cool beans, as the kids say“

“Exceptionally friendly staff. Plenty of coffee options and often has delicious gluten-free breads available. I recommend the Polar Bear oat milk iced coffee drink for a treat! Cozy, casual atmosphere with plenty of couches and lounge chairs.“

“This has been my favorite coffee shop for years. The latte's are consistently made with love, the matcha is true ceremonial tea and the best part - the staff! The baristas are always lovely, welcoming people who care about their community and make the visit more enjoyable!“

“An absolutely wonderful restaurant! Great food! And Great staff! ??❤️“

“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.“

“I’m not a tea drinker, but I always enjoy a good factory tour and the Celestial Seasonings tour in Boulder did not disappoint! The experience was fun, informative, and really well put together. Even as someone who doesn’t normally drink tea, I loved getting to sample all of their different blends. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere was great, and it was a unique stop that I’m really glad I made. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Boulder!“

“Great vibes. Food was wonderful. Bree (sp) was our server. Very accommodating and friendly. An asset to your organization.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pleasant and friendly !“

“What a great place! Love it!“

“Delicious hot buttered coffee!“

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

“Wow, Bad Ass coffee is absolutely delicious, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was absolutely mind blowing. Cool surfboards on the wall, and the decorations made me feel like I was in Hawaii.
It was such a treat to feel the essence of this epic coffee shop in the heart of Boulder🥳 I can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Such a cute authentic boba place and the staff is super sweet! Almost sweeter than the boba itself one would say, but don't be fooled. The boba is absolutely delicious as well! Their Donuts are also yummy and not as greasy as some other shops 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Amazing coffee. These guys know their stuff when it comes to the proper roast for any bean. I don't know of any other local roaster that is getting single origin coffee from a specific plantation. That's what Ive been calling micro origin when I describe it to my friends. Then you add the Red Cherry Project on top of that! Amazing.“

“Nestled on Pearl Street, this quaint coffee shop in Boulder exudes a timeless charm. Its interior is a delightful blend of old-school coffeehouse and contemporary art student vibes. While the Americano was expertly brewed, I was a bit surprised when the barista didn't recognize the term 'pour-over coffee.' Nonetheless, it's a lovely spot to grab a cup and soak up the local atmosphere.“

“Great place to meet. Throwback coffee shop. Hyper local.“

“Really good gelato. Definitely worth it.“

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

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