I absolutely love Spruce Confections. Their food is great and their pastries are tied with Lucky's for my favorite. I would say their cookies are even better than Luckys' cookies. Their coffee is good too and the outdoor seating at the Pearl Street location is awesome. Highly recommend. Oh yea, prices are very very reasonable compared to many other places also.

Coffee+food are always exceptional. The team at Spruce in west Boulder is exceptional. They are always lovely, kind and polite. We have been coming to Spruce on Pearl for 14+yrs. I sched coffee meetings at this location, even though it is on the other side of town. There are likely 30+ coffee shops closer to me, but this is worth the trip. Thank you Spruce team for always showing up in spades.Vegetarian options: Always thoughtful options.Dietary restrictions: GF options
Had their blueberry scone and it was one of the best pastries I’ve had in a very long time. Totally worth the mile walk to get it.

Tiny place, but the service and products are excellent! We're visiting for a few days, and have made this our spot for coffee and scones!

This place is one of my absolute favorites in Boulder. Confections are superb and the breakfast burritos among the best in town. Drawbacks? The usual tip-Vs-service debate. A great place for an after ride coffee.
Delicious gluten-free options that are sent to some local Denver coffee shops I get to get mine at the kaladis in Englewood. The treats are always well packaged and taste extremely fresh.

We stumbled upon this spot during a trip to Boulder and loved the unique pastries as well as the delicious espresso drinks. While crowded inside, the ambience of the outside patio in the summertime can't be beat!
Happened by this sweet spot after a hike in Boulder. The chocolate croissants were so tasty!! The barista offered to heat them up, and that made it even better. They had a lovely patio that we were able to sit out on and enjoy our pastries. I highly recommend! It was so fun to see locals from the neighborhood walking in with their reusable mugs for their daily coffee. The smell of expresso inside was delightful!

On the far west end of Pearl Street, the vibes this place emanated turned me around. Extensive outdoor seating with local looking folks of all generations sitting gathering together, merely talking and sharing and eating and sipping. They don’t have much indoor seating at all, most of their “dine-in” seating outside in a courtyard of sorts and along the quiet west end Pearl Street.They don’t have wifi, but they certainly have the pastries you’d want. Creating a true third space. Instead of going on my iPad, I turned to the page to write. A dude sat reading his book in the sunshine, drinking his cup of joe. A mom, her two small children and seemingly the grandparents all sat for lunch together. A true gathering space uninhibited by technology distractions.I got a cortado. It was good. The barista very sweet, very kind. A great local spot to get lost in the afternoon.

Visited Boulder for the day and stopped here for coffee before we visited the shops. The place is quite small inside where you have to order your drink and baked goods but there were plenty of tables outside and under the tree next to the shop. The blueberry scone was nice and my friend’s ham and cheese croissant was deli! My only complaint is that the coffee wasn’t piping hot.

Absolute gem of a coffee shop/bakery. Really well made espresso drinks and fantastic croissant and scones along with cakes and others. Live music on weekends my favorite place in Boulder
