40 Best Cafes near Niwot

“The coffee is on point and they source some really delicious local cookies and snacks. Full disclosure, this is my friend’s coffee shop. We met as car enthusiast, but both love a great cup of coffee. This is a great location to meet for a cruise or a bike ride. We start our annual Swedes&Caffeine cruise from this location. I would recommend to friends and family for sure.“

“Love everything about this place!“

“Absolutely love the bison 🦬 pastie. The 🦃 Rueben & Cobb salad are other good choices. The ☕️ is tasty. I highly recommend Shamane’s Bakery.“

“The food is fabulous and very much a home style meal. Seating is limited and the Staff are very friendly. This is my favorite breakfast place in all of Colorado!!!! If you’re looking for more than average meals…. Delicious dining…. This place is for you!!!!“

“I’ve been using Skratch for awhile. Switch between it and Tailwind but I prefer Skratch for my marathon training. The carb/ sodium ratio is exactly what I need for my fall race. The passion fruit guava is amazing. Wish it was not a limited edition flavor. All of the flavors are great as well. Definitely recommend Skratch“

“Really great little coffee shop. On the weekends they started having this awesome Chicago Beef sandwich on Fridays and Saturdays.“

“Great service and good food!“

“Love it! I especially enjoy being able to find some excellent Turkish coffee ..“

“The food is fantastic but can I just say, the biscuits OMG melt in your mouth yumminess!“

“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?”“

“The wait staff feed me pancakes and tell me I'm pretty. That's about all I need in life 😆“

“You’d be insane to go to Starbucks when the Loving Cup is right down the street. Some of the best bagels in town! I always get the Chai and an everything bagel 10/10. Staff are super friendly and they always play great tunes. Couldn’t recommend it more.“

“I've been to Stinger's Hellems location twice now, once for drinks and a snack, once for lunch and both experiences have been great. Fast, friendly service, love that they carry Outrageous Baking Company pumpkin bread, and the sandwich and salad I had for lunch were fresh and tasty. A great addition new quick and easy food option on campus!“

“I’m not sure why i even bother with the ice cream shops with tasty frozen yogurt righ off main. Love the rotation of flavors.

The operation is quite lean as these tend to go, and I worry a little for the staff especially if there’s just one person doing it al. But they work hard and deserve massive kudos and management deserves a nice guttural booing.“

“Food is absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent as well. Little bit dark and small, but the vibe is great. We walked in with 11 in our party and they rocked it! Thank 😊 you Cafe Blue for your hospitality and giving us a favorite new place!“

“A cool little place with good sandwiches, pizzas, calzones, salads and Gelatos. It has healthy bites and quick snacks. The place has a cool little fireplace and is a good hang for friends or homework. The best part is that it's open after midnight.“

“Great place for people to grab a bit to eat. My favorite sandwich is the “MARCI” delicious!“

“Way better than I expected! The country skillet pleased this country boy.“

“I love Spruce Cafe! They have everything Spruce Confections has but without the Pearl Street traffic. Super cute and modern interior. Friendly baristas :)“

“Great store. I especially like the Thursday night speakers. Staff is always pleasant and positive.“

“Sun Cafe! The place I would recommend to anyone looking for Asian food in Longmont. The food is not overseasoned and has lots of fresh vegetables included. They are consistent here and make us happy every time we choose to eat here. We have tried probably half the menu at this time and have enjoyed what they have to offer. The employees are also nice and we are happy they moved to this location. Speaking of which also try Rosa Cantina and Pistachio next door, what a line up! All good food and service, we're so lucky to have these three restaurants next to each other!

The only reason Sun Cafe gets 4 stars is that it is a bit expensive (I understand everything is up in price) and thus we can't eat here so often. Expensive but it is worth it when you have some pocket change!“

“Finally stopped by this new little gem in Longmont—and I’m so glad I did! Shawna was absolutely wonderful: warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about their butter-making process. I couldn’t resist… I bought one of each flavor they had! Tried it on dinner tonight and it was exquisite. I can’t wait to explore the rest. These butters make perfect gifts—I’ve already decided they’ll be my go-to for the holiday season!“

“I just like this place so much. The things they offer are classic, interesting, super well-made, and they have a whole breakfast and lunch menu that’s really good in addition to the pastries and different coffee drinks.“

“Super cute place, friendly and fast service!“

“Always satisfied when I go to Cristos! Love their coffee and pastries. We met one of the new owners and he’s a hoot!“

“January Coffee supports human rights.“

“the best coffee in town.“

“We were a group of 15 on Mother’s Day! Jennifer served us, and she truly was a delight to our whole family! Working her Mother’s Day serving us so kindly and with humor, made the start of our Mother’s Day amazing. The Manager saw we were two seats short and created a solution right away with ease. There was no frustration, worry, or tone with trying to correct the problem. He did it with quickness and kindness! Our Mother’s Day morning was perfect! Thank you First Watch staff and Jennifer, or server!“

“PERFECT New Year's Eve at Cafe Aion. While the 4 course NYE special was very enticing we decided to have the WEDNESDAY paella and bottle of Spanish wine special. Such an inviting and warm staff and ambience. While many Boulder dining restaurants set time limits and hefty upfront cancel fees within 24 hours of dining, Cafe Aion shines above them all with a true Spanish cafe feel.“

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

“Been coming here while they are always friendly. The burritos are a good prize. And they are delicious. Sometimes they taste different. But I guess that just depends on who is making the burritos. I love the green sauce. And sometimes I go in just to get the sauce to put on my own homemade tacos. They always deliver friendly service with a smile And a good price and that is most important so I'll keep going back.“

“We got the Thanksgiving sides from Community Kitchen - and I think it was the best - least stressful - Thanksgiving we've had so far! All Gluten-free as well, which was great for our crowd this year. Our favorites were the mashed potatoes (no skimping on the butter :), the mac-n-cheese and the quinoa-stuffed acorn squash. We had 6 adults with generous appetites - and ended up with an impressive amount of leftovers for next couple of days. Friggin' delightful.

Will definitely do this again. Thanks Bridge House team!“

“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 was solo, so I didn't want to go to a full-service restaurant surrounded by parties of 2+, because I feel conspicuous. I also don't like the usual Restaurant Theater experience ("Hi, my name is... I'll be taking care of you today...would you like to start with..."). \n\nFuji was perfect for me. You order at the counter and find a seat. I went at 4 pm, and there was no one else eating in, just people getting take-out. I found a table, they brought my order (eel) it seemed like 2 minutes later. Their attitude was pleasantly welcoming. Not over-the-top friendly, which I've just learned is being termed "forced joy" at some companies -- and lo and behold, customers can tell it's forced and they don't like it!“

“best tuna salad sandwich I've ever had :)“

“I just moved to the Boulder area. I thought I'd check out the local Panera. I was very impressed. The gentleman at the register was very friendly. My orange scone was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and clean. I'll be back!“
