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!“

“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.“

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

“Great service and good food!“

“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?”“

“I got an Arnold Palmer after an almost 4 hour hike — with watermelon lemonade instead of regular lemonade. Amazing and refreshing! Then they had a deal on burritos so I got one with egg, sausage, bacon, cheese, and tators. Phenomenal! It’s a nice little place and I’m excited to go back!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I stopped by here after lunch yesterday and got the black sesame latte with a shot of matcha. The combo sounds kinda insane but it was one of the best drinks I’ve had from a coffee shop in years ❤️ S/o to the kind barista who recommended it!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This is our new favorite Chinese Food restaurant in Longmont.

We order the dinner (including soup, won ton, and eggroll). My wife and I always dine 'family style' and share 2 different entrees. So far (2 times) we were able to choose an entree we wanted instead of the limited list on the menu which really opened up our choices. No guarantee it will work for you but it's worth asking.

We get a lot of food and take home leftovers where my wife reheats in a pan (no microwave) low-and-slow heat. Getting 2 meals makes it overall pretty economical.

And, they have wine and beer very reasonably priced.

Local hack: there's often a Valpak coupon in the monthly envelope.“

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

“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!“

“Super cute place, friendly and fast service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Aion. We shared tapas (small plates) as well as a couple entrees so everyone got to enjoy a variety of flavors. Everything was delicious; the scallops on squid ink rice was the table favorite. The staff is friendly and our main server (maybe the manager?) was clearly passionate about the offerings.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place does so much with very little. The minimal staff is always attentive. The interior is quaint and clean. The photos and decor inspire a feeling of travel and wonder. The food is magnificent and so reasonably priced it feel like the best kept secret in Boulder.“

“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!“
