40 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)“

“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.“

“This is a cafe with a delightful atmosphere and staff. The amount of living plants indoors was impressive. I enjoyed their chai boba tea, sweetened to one’s preference. The staff loved my dogs so I’d consider this a dog friendly place! 10/10 would come back and recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Cool beans, as the kids say“

“Great historical centre location.

It is so much happiness yo to have coffee here...
Great customer service and good value for money.
Situated near restrooms..souvenir shop and the museum.

“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. ❤️👏❤️👏“

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

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

“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!)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious hot buttered coffee!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“What a great place! Love it!“

“Pleasant and friendly !“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“The owner’s kid (?) is so cute! He was very brave and asked to take our order. He accidentally took one order wrong (also my fault for not indicating it clear) and ended up charging a few more bucks for it, the owners are real sweet and gave me a full refund and a free mochinut! I’m recommending the store not only because of the great deserts, but also for the shop owner’s kind heart. If we can I would love for more people to support this small business :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Really good gelato. Definitely worth it.“
