I have a cortado addiction. It's an espresso with enough warm milk to take the edge off, and amazingly tasty when done right. The barista at this location, who has fantastically teal hair, did it right. It's taking all my willpower to not suck the whole thing down immediately. Temperature and flavor are perfect. Thank you, Amante! read more

I work in Boulder and my girlfriend came up to work in a coffee shop (this one) for the day from Denver. I came and met her here so we could hang for a little bit, and it's a pretty cool spot. The atmosphere is good. There seems to be a lot of locals that come in and know the staff, which I think is fun to be around. It's not too loud, you can get work done if you need to. The wifi is fast even with a lot of people on laptops in the place. The only criticism I have is that I ordered a black coffee and it came in a pint glass. I'm not a fan of coffee in glass even when the glass has a handle, but this was just stupid, I could barely hold it by the time I got back to my table because it was so hot. I know they have coffee cups because that's what they served their lattes and whatever else people get at coffee shops in. Other than that the place is solid, and the coffee isn't bad. read more

4 stars! Amante puts it down for local coffee spot that pours a great cup of coffee. I dont care for latte's, mocha's, capuccino's, because you can dress them up with ingredients. Coffee is my true test of a cafe... I had a cup coffee on recommendation from my brother-in-law, on our way to eldora for some snow funs. Well warned of the 98 octane experience i was about to have, i stayed conservative and ordered a 12oz cup and a pastry. i put in my usual 2 sugars and cream, and start taking sips. very very yummy... the brew is not as bold as a cup of peets, its smooth, a bit mild, but very very flavorful. not too acidic, and not thick. but the caffeine buzz that hit was like whooaaaaaaaa! see, this is what starsucks lacks. it just loses it completely by forgetting about quality, and concentrating on pushing out all those venti-thinga-ma-jigs.. I'm coming back. for sure! read more

Best coffee in boulder! Soo delicious

Only cup of coffee in Boulder that doesn't give me the acid burn stomach cramp! Super high quality coffee. Cheaper than Starbucks. Atmosphere is quiet, chill, but sleek and modern. Euro vibe. read more

We arrived in Boulder for our cousin's son's wedding yesterday, and the first thing I like to do is find the best place to have a latte or a cappuccino ! While we walked around Boulder's lovely town, the aroma of freshly made coffee coming from Amante's Cafe on Walnut Street, excited my senses! I debated having a late afternoon latte but decided to wait until this morning . Being an early riser I walked into Amante's Cafe at around 7:30 and ordered a large skim latte, I think it was one of the finest cups of coffee I've had in a very long time. These guys are experts at making a rich and delicious blend of coffee and steamed milk! I also ordered a phenomenal raspberry scone and an almond croissant ! read more

Cool coffee shop with a modern, artsy vibe. Their drinks are decent and their food is yummy. Service is also fast and polite! I always get their dragon well green tea as a pick-me-up in the afternoon. It's very pleasant, though not very strongly flavored if that's what you like. I've also had their Bhakti chai which, similarly, isn't very strong. It's still yummy, but I prefer my chai super spicy. As for snacks, I've had a raspberry truffle, orange almond biscotti, and a ham and pepper square breakfast burrito. All are very yummy, particularly the biscotti. They just heat up the burrito for you (it comes prepackaged in their case), but I still think it's really yummy and makes for a great light lunch or breakfast. Overall, Amante has yummy food and is also a great place to study/work. read more

I love Amante! I've never had a bad espresso drink here. It's also a great place to go for drinks when you don't want a bar atmosphere (i.e. dark and full of noisy drunks). My favorite in the winter is a spiced wine. The staff has been consistently pleasant and cheerful. I like the good indie tunes they're usually playing. The only reason I don't go there more often is because it's so small--often there just aren't any open seats. That's usually the case with the Amante up north, too, even though it's bigger. read more

This is a masterful representation of an Italian cafe. Their espresso drinks are well crafted, mostly simple and allow you to experience the actual quality of the coffee. The cappuccinos here show that they really understand how to make a great espresso drink, perfect proportions of espresso, milk and foam served in an actual cup with a saucer and spoon. I have been a fan for a while, I think Amante might be one of the best in Boulder, or the Front Range for that matter. The interior is open and nice, they use their small amount of space very well. It is really nice when the patio is open. Their food isn't that great, but I guess it is just a coffee shop. Overall great! read more

When people think about coffee, Starbucks usually comes to mind. However, in Boulder, Amante on Walnut is the place to go! The coffee (I get the lattes with extra shots of expresso) is excellent and makes all others pale in comparison! The items in the coolers, e.g., bottled drinks, pastries, etc., are reasonable, but it's the coffee that is fantastic. read more

I'm tempted to give them a bad review just so people won't come and it can be my very own special spot! I'm evil but not that evil! Amante is awesome! I love coming here after a light dinner and having an 'adult' coffee beverage. Tonight I had the spiced wine. It was delicious. The atmosphere is delightful, the music is great and the servers are nice. A perfect spot. read more

I've only been here once but the coffee is solid and reasonably priced and the cafe itself is quiet and chill. Meets all the criteria of a good coffee shop for me. read more

Amante Coffee - Coffee bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Introduced to this coffee shop by a full-blooded Italian who knows his coffee, and doesn't settle for anything but the best. I knew we were in the right place the minute I stepped through the door and my head was filled with the rich aroma. I went for the double-espresso. Just like being in Italy! I saw the Facebook sign on the counter . . . but can't find you on Facebook :(. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and oatmeal. The lattes are great and the French press coffee is awesome. The price is a little high but worth it for the coffee and food you get. read more

Amante Coffee - Marocchino is awesome - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Laughing at the person who said its like Europe. Oh America, why are you so bad at coffee? Very nice staff, but if you are expected you tip 20-30% perhaps they should roster on enough staff to actually provide service. It's bad enough they don't pay servers a living wage in this country, then to have minimal staff on is pretty poor. They don't even deliver coffee to the table. Where's the service? Terrible presentation, coffee spilled all over saucer but taste ok. Better than Starbucks at least, but finding good coffee in this country is a hard task. read more

Amante Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

The world's slowest barista works here. Coffee seems to be roaste for sugar and milk heavy drinks, so if you order an espresso, it's sour. And the barista seems to not know how to serve the espresso properly, who pours it in a big giant americano coffee cup??? read more

The latte was okay. Decent, but not worth what I paid for it. I actually came in because I saw entertaining videos made by a few employees online, but none of them were there. I guess it's good if you watch soccer, but sports aren't really of any interest to me, especially not in a coffee shop as I try to work or read peacefully. The baristas were nice, and when a woman came in to buy beans, one of them made the effort to come into the main area and help her. However, I prefer coffee shops that feel a little more homey and natural, not sterile. It was also one of the weird random cold days, but they turned on the a/c while I was there anyway - which was freezing and blowing right on me. I wish I could have tried the gelato, but the freezer was broken. Maybe when it's fixed I'll return and see if the experience is better. read more

I work just around the corner from Amante in downtown Boulder. I drink espresso nearly every morning and go there 1-2x a week. I think they have great customer service and hip baristas, however there espresso is starting to taste 'burnt'. I don't know if this is a different bean formula, or a change in roasters, but something is either wrong with their machines or I am growing more sensitive to their flavors. Overall this place blows Starbucks away for experience and service. read more

Amante is teeny tiny and serves great coffee, chai, cocktails, and gelato. I think a lot of it's charm is that it's on Walnut, not Pearl, and therefore the customers are folks who seek quality, not a quick caffeine fix. read more

Whenever I'm in downtown Boulder and have a little bit of time on my hands for a quick cup of something tasty, I look for Amante. The coffees are delicious and very well made. The shop itself is super clean, hip, and unassuming. The baristas are friendly, and prices are good! I think this is the best coffee shop in town, and if you're there in the warmer months, they have a little patio out front you can sit on and watch all of the oddness that are Boulderites walking by and doing whatever it is they do! read more

Not a bad coffee spot just not the best in the area. Coffee is okay and there is a decent amount of pastry selection. Kinda cool that they serve booze later too. read more

I love the feel of this little shop. Inside you can relax and set up shop on their marble tables and sip your delicious latte. Their drip coffee is fantastic and I love the espresso. They have a bar as well so stop in after work for a cocktail or coffee, the choice is yours. Sooner or later I'm going to set up shop here with my computer and get some work done with some delicious gin and tonics. They also have a gelato counter which i have not tried but my mouth waters every time I look at it. I agree with Brittany B., this is the see and be seen place in Boulder. Many intelligent minds that run some of the best companies here in Boulder frequent Amante- contact smart! read more

Awesome space. You can't fucking buy alcohol at the grocery store, but you can sell liquor at a coffee shop. The former sucks, the latter rules. read more

The atmosphere is great. The coffee is okay. The baristas were really surly at 8 am this morning. Who needs that? It's not just about the beans, it's about the total experience. Sorry guys we will be trying OZO tomorrow. read more

Came here because of the raving reviews. Our drinks were undrinkable and the service was subpar.

They make an amazing foamy creamy soy latte. Great quality coffee, love the vibe of the place. Very clean, there always seems to be foreigners in there for some reason. I love the patio for sitting and sipping and people watching. read more

Amante sets itself apart from the other coffee houses. The ambiance is so different, so European, I guess. But the real story is the coffee. Nobody makes a latte that touches Amante's. Always creamy and frothy with a cool design on top. I like it that you can get an alcoholic drink too if the spirit moves you. All in all, the best coffee shop in Boulder. read more

Delicious Italian coffee at a decent price, bright interiors, and, well, I'm a sucker for the well-designed graphics on their to-go cups. We went twice in one day last weekend, as we were in need of a little girls' room. Both times I eyed the gelato and pastries and did my best to resist. read more

I'm not a coffee drinker, never mind espresso, but, when out late for drinks with my persuasive coffee drinking friend B, she convinced me to try a shotini. Not bad for me... and amazing for the coffee lovers. In general, I like Amante for the atmosphere and gelato. read more

I do appreciate the bar cafe combo but this places quality has fallen considerably. The espresso is undrinkable and they no longer have tasty snacks. This last trip the pastries were frozen. I still continue to return because they do show euro sports and have gellato and a full bar. But, if you want a decent coffee there are plenty of coffee shops in Boulder; like Trident, Laughing Goat, the Cup, ect. So if your staying at St. Julian go ahead and walk an extra half a block. Have a good coffee. read more

Yum, yum, yum. I love it when I walk into a coffee shop and the barista throws out the challenge that he will make me a latte to die for; and then he actually does! A caffeine kick here is worth the drive to Boulder. I have a latte love for this coffee shop! read more

Way cool coffee, tea and liquor spot. Modern Italian feel with outstanding coffee. A few tables outside, too, so bring your dog.

Is it a cafe? Is it a bar? Is it an art gallery? All of the above? I'm still not sure. A little pretentious, pricey, and weird, but good iced coffee. read more

This place makes very good coffee & the staff is wonderful too. It's a cute place to hang out and the few times I came in, it was pretty busy. read more

I'm goin' 5 stars. They make a macchiatto (sp?) correctly and it is wonderful. Nice if you miss coffee done right; like in Europe.

Best coffee/espresso in downtown Boulder. Baristas generally friendly. Sometimes a little cramped when it's busy. Good americano or espresso. read more

Anywhere that I can go for great coffee with truffles where you can also order cocktails is a win in my book. The ambiance is hip and euro but not obnoxiously so, and the staff was helpful and polite. I appreciated the mellow old school hip hop playing in the cafe. A nice break from the average. read more

Amante is a small, downtown coffee shop with an interesting, quirky staff and really good coffee. Fresh and bold, a cup woke me up in a matter of minutes. Not to mention they also serve alcohol, which ups the cool factor. read more

We are from Minnesota and have not had a good cup of coffee since we left. This place has very good coffee. My wife loved the soy cappuccino and I had an iced coffee. Nice place to visit. Only a few outside tables. This place came recommended from a local and we recommend it too. read more

Amante coffee is good and local to Boulder, Co. So, for someone like me who lives near DC - I will not be able to enjoy Amante after my vacation. I gave Amante 4 Stars because I think Ozo's coffee is 5 Stars better. Needless, to say Amante is second best:) read more
