“I went to check this place out and got their Fire-starter Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly! Just the small amount of pink I was looking for. 😋 It had just the right amount of jalapeños and guacamole. Did I mention the burger is fairly decent sized for the price?!?! I have never had Sweet Potato fries this good either, most of the places I have gotten them from they are burnt and hard. The restaurant is casual dining and VERY CLEAN! The staff are friendly and amazing as well as VERY VERSED in Service Dog laws. I felt very safe and welcomed here with the calm atmosphere. I would DEFINITELY go back!!!“

“We only had time for drinks and a snack. The staff were more than helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back! The flavors of natural herbs coming through the desserts were superb!e“

“Amazing service, food and drinks! Highly recommend!“

“I wanted to take a moment to share my experience at Morning Glory Cafe. A week ago, I made a reservation for a group of 11 people, and when we arrived, the table was perfectly set and ready for us. However, after we placed our orders, we waited over an hour and a half without receiving any food. This was brought to the attention of the staff, and understandably, frustration began to build on our end. Fortunately, the manager, Adolfo, addressed the situation beautifully. He sincerely apologized for the delay and explained that there had been a miscommunication regarding our order, which led to a significant mistake. To make amends, they comped our meals, which was greatly appreciated. Our waitress, Helen, was also very sincere in her apology. In a time when many establishments struggle to admit their errors, Morning Glory Cafe stood out by acknowledging their mistake and taking responsibility. We truly love this restaurant and deeply appreciate its integrity. I will always recommend Morning Glory Cafe to others! Thank you, Adolfo and Helen, for resolving this situation so effectively. We will definitely be back! Thank you.“

“Always a good breakfast here at this diner. After three visits in a month, I would return here for breakfast. Just a good ole american style breakfast diner. Eggs, Bisc & Gravy, Pancakes. Spouse did have the gluten free pancakes. Not bad for her. Enjoy coming here when in town.“

Their dinner happy hour menu has great prices and really good options. The prime rib was delectable and the fish & chips were fried to perfection. Mud pie for dessert was incredible as well! Thank you for making our night special! Can’t wait to go back. ❤️“

“Fantastic five course German Style Beer dinner tonight in Boulder. So yummy and great pairing of beer to the food.“

“Me and my husband ate there tonight. It was really good service and super yummy food. The prickly pear lemonade was a lil tart but in a great way. The special drink of the night was a good amount of liquor to beer ratio. The appetizer of chili cheese fries was just yum! That white cheddar cheese sauce if amazing. I got The Ned burger with fries. It was perfectly cook and didn't have too much lettuce or tomato on it. My husband got The Rancher Mac and cheese skillet. It was very cheesey and didn't have too many green onions which was delicious. We couldn't get dessert this time as we were too full but we will be back again soon! 😄“

“Absolutely incredible flavors and excellent variety! I wanted more but was so full! I’m ready to come back and try other things… for dinner 🤣🤣! Had the chicken enchilada and forbidden rice with tofu! For desert… the gluten free lemon cake was Devine! HIGHLY recommend!!! ♥️“

“Best wings. Branden took care of me and made sure my order was correct before I left.“

“Breakfast was very good. Great service! Charming. Recommend biscuits & gravy! Will go back!“

“The vibe of this restaurant is very cool, the brick walls and rustic feel make it warm and cozy, and the open kitchen concept made me feel safe knowing they took great attention to make the food.

The menu offerings are very generous and sourced from local farms and mostly organic. I recommend the brussels sprouts, elk carpaccio, the Mahi (get it medium, it was perfect), and lastly, the flourless chocolate cake was divine! My partner got the burger and I would've been jealous if my dish wasn't so amazing!

For drinks we had the garden gimlet, so fresh, and glasses of wine the server reccomended to pair with both of our entrees!

I loved the patio seating as the plants were overflowing and gorgeous! The wait staff was kind, knowledgable, and efficient! I will be sure to visit SALT again, and tell my friends!“

“Wonderful staff and service here, they catered a brunch birthday party Oct 2025 and everything was packed well and tasted delicious. There was a miscommunication about the morning pick-up time but the GM Steve went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. I will continue to eat-in at this location and would use for catering again. Thank you, Steve and staff!“

“Boulder Social is fun! We go on Tuesday nights for their Trivia Night, and it's always a good time. Food is easy and fun, staff is friendly and place always looks clean and tidy. Trivia night is busy, so it's loud, but that adds to the fun!“

“I was just at Culver's in Longmont, Best Root beer ever And BEST PRETZEL BITES EVER. Hope the pretzel bites Stay FOREVER. Thanks.“

Shortly after we were seated and what followed had to one of the best Dinners we ever had . Real Italian Food served in generous portions by top class staff . A great night out in a great Restaurant“

It was pouring rain and we were about to miss our niece's wedding. One of the employees at the front desk, Drew actually drove us to the wedding. My husband tried to pay him and he would not accept payment. We made it to the wedding on time. Thank you Drew!!!“

“Great people, great atmosphere!“

“This was such a great find! I wanted something low key to take my son in a stroller and this place hit the jackpot. There is a ton of room and the bartender is one of the friendliest guys I’ve ever been served by!I got a glass of wine and a charcuterie board while waiting for my husband and the charcuterie came of fast and was delicious.“

“Delicious food! Friendly crew. Try the corn ribs. The Peach Bourbon Smash cocktail was mighty fine!“

“Just had the Valentine’s Day Dinner with my husband here! It’s our first V-Day as a married couple and there was no way I would have rather spent it! For this dinner they not only had great food, but there was a poet at the front writing poems for the couples. Our poem brought a tear to my eye! Some things I have to say about the restaurant.. First of all, the owners put so much thought and care into the food. It’s very apparent that they care about what they put in front of you, and they are able to cater to dietary restrictions even with the pre-fixed meals which is sooo impressive. I’ve been vegetarian and gluten free in the past and I can attest to how daunting going out to eat can be if you have restrictions. This place will take care of you!!! Secondly, the staff is super nice and the cocktails are so delicious. I could go on and on about how awesome this place is but the last thing I’ll mention is the ambience, architecture, and furniture are so unique. This place is great if you want to just grab a couple drinks at the bar but is also great for special occasions with multiple courses. So glad to have a place like this only a couple blocks from my home!!“

“Excellent service and friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend !!!! Great place for food, drink and music!!“

“delicious sandwiches! Loved the fried Oreos. 😋“

“The pizza is really solid here. I always get a build your own with bacon and red onions, but my sons like The Big Cheese and my husband likes Tommy Want Chicken Wingy. It also has a really fun, laid back vibe. One of my favorite restaurants in Erie. We eat here probably once every two weeks, and it’s really easy to get dessert after because it’s connected to the ice cream parlor next door. Highly recommend it!“

“Great service and good food!“

“Conversation friendly; unique farm to table entrees; creative combinations always delicious.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wine, and food. Interesting menu and well executed, while enjoying the most intimate vibe. Will be back asap!“

“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!!“

“Very friendly staff (we met multiple). Our main server provided excellent insight to various brews to help us find our preference. Food was DELISH. They provide dog bowls and cold water and were very friendly towards the dog. Beautiful setup with plenty of shade available“

“extremely good food, not just resting on their fancy ingredients, every dish does something interesting to make itself stand out
update mid march 2025: unsure if variation or a sign of decline, the lamb chops were mediocre and undercooked for what was asked for (substantial red left when asked for medium). very disappointing, but they were happy to correct the doneness. Hopefully just a fluke.“

“As someone who eats out all over Boulder, this is my go to lunch spot and often dinner. The food is so clean I always feel amazing after eating. Great flavors. Great drinks. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. The owner is often around and you can tell the place runs smoothly and is very clean. When my visiting parents stayed at the adjacent hotel they literally ate here everyday.“

“Good food in a convenient location. Had lunch and I’ll go back soon.“

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

“Love spruce for any occasion. Have always enjoyed every experience there.“

“The real reason to visit Alpine Modern Café in Boulder is the food. I drove all the way from Denver just to eat there, which should tell you everything you need to know. The breakfast bacon croissant was excellent—fresh, full of flavor, and completely unforgettable. It’s the kind of dish you think about later in the day and start planning your return visit around.

The coffee was also very good—exactly what you want from a café—and the space has a relaxed, welcoming feel. The café is in a great location and easy to get to from anywhere in Boulder, which is helpful since resisting a second visit would be nearly impossible. Parking can be a little limited, and you may have to park down the road… but consider it a warm-up walk for the croissant. It’s worth it.

I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable meal and a great coffee experience, with a side of “why didn’t I come here sooner?”“

“Excellent food and service. We got in with a short wait and received our food quickly. Server was awesome!“
