50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Boulder

“Did the tasting menu and it was fantastic. Some of the cocktails were a little “meh”, and so I’d be more likely to do wine there in the future. The caviar on corn cake—one of the three starters—was probably the best bite of food I’ve had this year.

The crudo (the second course) seemed a bit lacking to me, but others at the table really liked it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.“

“Dinner, drinks and service were exceptional. The bartender chatted us up, which we enjoyed a great deal. The chef Ryan came out and told us about the menu, then served us our meals himself. The food was AMAZING. This is the best meal we’ve ever had in Boulder!“

“excellent food...different food choices and quality food“

“queso del mar and guac were excellent. no good margs
but service was mid. waited 30 min to be seated when we had a reservation. waited 15 more min to order by which time i was hangry. other issues too, seemed short-staffed
Evan was cute though:)“

“Absolutely loved our meal at Santo! Everything was flavorful and perfectly spicy. Best meal we had on our vacation.“

“Wow! What a unique take on the traditional Chinese food! There's no sweet and sour chicken here! I had no idea about Chinese curry and many of the other delicious items on the menu. We also loved that they don't charge extra for tips like most places do now. The service was great, the place was clean, and the food was delicious.“

“Heerlijke cappuccino!!! De zelfgemaakte cake kan ik van harte aanbevelen!“

“The food was delicious, the portions were generous. Felt like a neighborhood. highly recommend.“

“Great option for those that are gluten free and/or dairy free.“

“Awesome restaurant!! Food is great ☺“

“Delicious Salvadoran food“

“Awesome eats !! Grabbed a bite while hopping around thee very diverse center.“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“Wonderful food. Great service“

“I'm visiting Denver from Chicago and after dinner with friends we decide on a whim to get ice cream. The closest shop? Sweet Cow - Highlands! Do we know anything about it no? Nope. Does it have gluten free, dairy free? Yep. Cool, let's go. So off we go... First of all, we arrive at an adorable clean little shop where literally everyone is happy and having a good time. The tunes are jamming. The line is moving. It's a great space. We get to the counter. The staff greeted us enthusiastically, asking what can they get us. I have no clue. literally everything sounds delicious. I'm in choice overload panic. Zoe (give her a raise) asks if I'd like to try something. You know I would love to! What's my limit? I'm thinking 2... if I'm lucky 4... Zoe says (and I kid you not), "Wanna try all 24?" Wait, what?! I can do that?! Should I do that?! Another nice staff member with beautiful red hair whose name I didn't catch (so sorry) says "You can, and of course, you should." I mean, twist my arm. I'm in! I'm escorted out of the line to the little counter bar where Zoe provides a cup of 24 little wooden spoons in a cup and a cup for when those 24 little spoons get used. She then cheerily and patiently leads me through a delightful taste test of 24 of the most delicious ice cream flavors I have ever tasted in my life. I dislike berries, but even all the berry flavors were good. I'm not vegan, but the vegan flavors tasted like non-vegan ice cream. They even had a Gatorade sorbet that was out of this world refreshing. Zoe didn't rush me even once. She seemed to be having as much fun as me. Trying to narrow down the selection afterwards was excruciating, but it was so worth it. Everything was excellent. The customer service, the product, the experience... I would without doubt, one hundred percent recommend this shop to everyone who comes to Denver. It is a must visit right up there with the mountains. Truly. Unequivocally. 5 GOLD STARS, 2 THUMBS UP. LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.“

“Such amazing food and very nice customer service! I went with a couple of friends and the Mater paneer was divine. Garlic Naan is definitely a must here as well. Very fast service as well.“

“Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. I am definitely going back.🥰“

“SUCH an incredible date night!! The dinner was seamless in timing (we love longer dining experiences), and absolutely fresh and delicious. We felt incredibly safe having our own space. Our server was stellar, and we even got to share our meal with a couple of the farm pups! I can't recommend this enough!!“

“One of my favorite cafés in Boulder. Especially the location in South Boulder is what makes me love this café the barista and people who work there are always so kind and I really really enjoy their menu. I especially LOVE their seasonal strawberry Matcha latte as well as their avocado toast. I like to add some smoked salmon on my avocado toast to add some protein and they always are really open to any modifications. As a gluten-free person, I am really impressed by their gluten-free bread as it tastes delicious and absolutely fabulous. I love the different seating opportunities and the general vibe of this café. Definitely a must visit if you’re in Boulder, Colorado.🐞⭐️😽“

“We went today for the first time and LOVED the meatballs, caesar salad and the lamb pepperoni pizza with a pumpkin beer taster and glass of cab!!! I will be back and soon! Oh… the dessert was so yummy and unique flavors!“

“Really good gelato. Definitely worth it.“

“The best in Boulder! Always love their beers and their grace I. The negative reviews - screw yelp trolls! Stay great !“

“I cannot say enough good things about Tonic. The staff, the other customers, the cozy atmosphere, and the amazing (and extensive) menu of healthy items make for an unparalleled experience I have never found elsewhere in any of my travels. Whatever you're seeking, this is it.“

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

“This is my favorite restaurant ever. When I lived in Fort Collins, I'd drive the 1.5 hours to Boulder literally just for Khow Thai. I recently moved out of Colorado and the No. 1 thing I'm looking forward to when I go back for Christmas is having the chance to return to Khow Thai. I've never been let down by any of their dishes; my favorites are the pad see ew and the larb. Their food makes me feel so refreshed and nourished. If I ever become a millionaire, I will buy a house down the street and eat here every day.“

“Best pizza! Thanks to you all for still being here for Boulder!“

“Good variety and very friendly staff.“

“This is the best Thai we ever had!!!!!“

“My husband and I had a great time on our tour of Avery Brewing! Gabe was a fantastic guide and provided thoughtful information about the brewing process and what sets Avery apart from the rest. We enjoyed trying all the tastings and discussing the flavor profiles of each type of beer. We'd highly recommend this brewery tour to anyone visiting the Boulder area!“

“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.“

“Awesome food, great service, relaxed atmosphere“
