    Smoked Salmon & Avocado Sandwich
    Ryan S.

    I really wanted to love this place. We chose Alpine Modern over the Potbelly right next door because a couple menu items looked good. It also looked very clean and friendly inside. Unfortunately, we walked away disappointed. My wife ordered the Turkey & Avocado sandwich and I had the Smoked Salmon & Avocado Sandwich with Brie. Both tasted good, but there wasn't much to them. I'd be surprised if either sandwich had 3oz of protein. In fact, the smoked salmon consisted of one (1) thin transparent slice per half. The turkey sandwich had three (3) slices of processed meat. The avocado mash and Brie were also thin layers. I guess if you like fresh arugula and toasted bread, then this is your place. Considering the amount they charge for these sandwiches, I suppose I was just hoping for more. Perhaps, their coffee and breakfast items are better? Next time I'm craving a sandwich, I think I'll try Potbelly.

    Iced Strawberry Matcha

    Alpine Modern - Boulder, CO Alpine Modern is the perfect blend of aesthetic minimalism and bold flavor. I stopped in for breakfast and was genuinely impressed--not just by the chic, Scandinavian-inspired atmosphere, but by how well-executed each dish was. I had the bacon breakfast croissant, and it was a standout. Buttery, flaky layers wrapped around perfectly cooked bacon and eggs--it was indulgent without being too heavy. The classic avocado toast was fresh and balanced, served on thick, crusty bread with just the right touch of citrus and seasoning. Simple, but done really well. To drink, I went with the strawberry matcha, which was smooth and slightly sweet--an unexpected but refreshing combo that didn't overpower the matcha. Great vibes, great food, and a place I'd definitely revisit whether for a relaxed morning or a quick bite between exploring Boulder.

    My second attempt here was perfect. I was greeted, offered help with my order, all three people behind the counter interacted with me and I felt welcome! My coffee and sandwich hit the spot! I enjoyed hanging out for a bit and was able to leave the outside world outside.

    Pumpkin spice latte

    'Tis the season... of pumpkin spice latte! We are traveling in Colorado this weekend and I was curious to see what sort of PSL yummies were in store. We stopped at alpine modern cafe, a cute little shop in what seemed to be an outdoor shopping center. I ordered the pumpkin spice latte which came with honey and cinnamon for a special twists. I require a dairy free milk and they had macadamia nut milk! It was so creamy and sweet. A lovely flavor addition to my latte. customer service was great and I saw many patrons with their lap tops working.

    Alpine Modern is my go-to for good coffee in Boulder, CO. In my personal experience, the food has been hit-or-miss. Some dishes leave me wanting more (food, seasoning, warmth, moisture, etc) while others hit the spot with no room for improvement (looking at you, Blueberry Ricotta Tartine). My favorite location is the one near the Hill, but the one in the 28th street mall is the Corporate Older Sister which is nice for meeting larger groups.

    Salmon & Avocado Sandwich

    Cute little breakfast place in Boulder, nice light atmosphere on the inside, and lots of yummy choices for coffees and sandwiches. Iced Vanilla Latte - delicious. 10/10. A little overpriced. 7$ for a medium with flavoring. Salmon & Avocado - 8/10. Could've used more salmon. Wish it had cream cheese on it. Ham & Gruyere - 7/10. Too bready, it took up most of the bite. Flavor of the ham and cheese was very good though. Only concern is that this place is overpriced. It was $40 for two coffees and two sandwiches. Even at Starbucks this would've been $30.

And they do a damn good job of it! The cool thing is that it's a sandwich shop AND a Häagen Dazs ice cream store rolled up into one. Has to be one of the only places in the country of its kind! Savory or sweet, you'll find something you love here. The menu boasts sandwiches, soups, salads, breakfast, kids meals, and of course the full Häagen Dazs menu. Italian Stallion // ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, balsamic vinaigrette, yellow mustard & mayo on marbled rye. The Italian American favorite. All the salty and tangy notes were hit. I don't love the bread choice personally, but to each their own! I just think it would've been even more flavorful on the Ciabatta roll. Now I'm a little biased because I grew up in the Häagen Dazs world. My family owned two shops until I was 18! They have some unique flavors on hand that I haven't seen in store or other brick and mortars. I loved the selection they have on site here. Plus, the employees will happily sample whatever flavor you want to try! Huge store with lots of space to sit. Easy ordering process for either the deli or the ice cream. And seriously, some of the most friendly employees I've seen in a hot minute. For something quick and on the go, Lindsay's Boulder Deli gets my stamp of approval. And if you're lucky enough to run into Lindsay herself, you're sure in for a treat!

Looking for a save at that corner we decided to give Cheba Hut a try. We had never been to one even though there was one in the Hill years ago. It never looked or smelled inviting. But I had read positive reviews of this new one on Yelp so given that it was not packed with students, we gave it a try though disappointed not to have one of our longtime favorites. Even so, we had a decent meal. I could have something as light and small as I needed yet get something fresh and with a toasted warm roll. I appreciate the various sizes too. Small for me as an experiment in taste and quality. Medium for my husband who wanted warm and filling.i am so glad it's so easy to customize leaving off flavors I do not want, like garlic and green peppers, both of which are difficult for me to digest. I got the Magic Mushrooms, like a sweet little salad on a warm roll. The dressing was fresh to taste, all veggies came through and even the mushrooms were fresh not sautéed as I had expected. Will be even better in the summer though maybe not on a winter day that this wasn't, on a very mild week. My husband had the meatball bomb, warm and saucy with melted cheese and marinara. It was more than twice as big as mine. Good to know if you are hungry. I was able to make my custom tea blend at the self serve soda counter and please to do so. Cute cups too. There were plenty of takeout orders being made so it took a few minutes to get ours. But the bar was half full, the lift doors to the large patio closed so it was still quite comfortable inside. Amazingly more clean than the old one on the Hill from what I could see back then. There was music and screen to entertain but not overpower. I did not see any desserts I would eat but we headed back down the mall afterwards towards a favorite place. I have to say, for a place we did not intend to go, we really had a decent dinner and I would go back again in a warm day and try the patio when the sun is shining. It's a long time classic sub shop, more modern and clean than expected.
