I love this space! I came to sit and work for a bit and loved every minute of the light, airy and spacious location. The plants made it extra- amazing ! There are plenty of little seating clusters which makes it perfect to work in solitude or have conversation with friends. The sesame latte was exceptional too. I'll definitely be back read more

I am obsessed with everything about this cafe. The ambiance is bright, full of beautiful plants, and spacious. Every barista I've met have been cheerful and so kind. My absolute FAVORITE drink is the ube matcha- not too sweet, so balanced, not gritty at all. Their Seseme latte is also amazing. I come here every week! read more

A delightful spot for a light breakfast! What we got: - espresso tonic: strong taste! My friend loved it. - latte: very good, as expected. - bacon breakfast sandwich: felt very cheese forward, the bacon was cut into pieces vs strips. - banana and black sesame toast: the show stopper of the morning. Aesthetically beautiful and SO DELICIOUS. I would come back for this alone! Kid friendly: there was a kids corner that looked great with coloring and some toys. I'll be back! read more

Boulder is home to a plethora of great cafes and coffee shops, and now I have to add Creature Comforts to the rotation. Talk about a hip, trendy, and laid back space with an action-packed menu of treats and bevvies. I only had a coffee while I was here, but it was tasty enough to rev my engines and propel me to a whole new level of caffeinated goodness. I've said it many times before, if there's an espresso tonic on the menu I will order it. Their take is sweetened with a little bit of yuzu, and yeehaw this was fantastic. Now they are operating as a "non-tipping cafe" and at first I rolled my eyes. But to be honest, knowing that they don't accept tips, I found the menu to be priced appropriately all around. Look we all know prices are ridiculous right now, however, I found that the amount we spent on all our items was on par to other cafes offering a similar, higher end experience. Kudos to a well thought out and unique menu. I mean, where else are you finding sweet miso matcha, five spice lattes, and furikake butter toasts?! My wife loved her latte and egg salad toast. Originally I was going to give them four stars instead of five, but I have no notes. Staff was personable, the space inviting, and everything we ordered was excellent. I tip my cap to you, Creature Comforts! read more

What a vibe! Cute little coffee shop with creative drinks and small bites. We got a yuzu espresso and it was so perfectly balanced between the tart yuzu and rich espresso. Hope to visit again next time we're in Boulder! read more

Wow! I stopped by Creature Comforts Cafe for an afternoon coffee, and I absolutely loved everything about it - from the interior to the taste of the drinks! Everything was cute and perfect. First of all, this is a no tipping café, which means they pay their workers a living wage and set their prices to do so. I absolutely think more establishment should follow suit. I ordered an iced salted honey latte and my partner had an iced sweet Ube latte. A lot of their drinks feature Asian flavors, for example they have a miso hot chocolate, five spice latte, black sesame latte - you get the picture. They also have a whole section dedicated to flavored matcha! I was happy to see they have a wide variety of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. Nondairy and alternative milks are available. I didn't try the food, but the menu looked amazing! They have a variety of sweet and savory milk bread toasts and sandwich paninis. There is an option to sub in gluten free and vegan bread. They have a mimosa on the menu so you could come here for a little breakfast, coffee, and a cocktail if you wanted. They also serve wine and beer. I can't wait to come back and support Creature Comforts! Such a beautiful community oriented, yummy space in Boulder! read more

Employees are nice but ownership is awful. They post signs saying no tips but you are paying a tip in the cost of your purchase.

Would definitely return. Wish they had fresh plain oatmeal but was yummy all the same. Bread for toast was too like brioche for me. I prefer a hearty grain bread for a toast with a mash up on it. But was yummy !! Coffee strong ... and delicious. Ambiance open and airy - big garage doors open to fresh air !!! Service friendly. read more

Really nice and modern feeling cafe. Very spacious and clean feeling decor. The people were super nice as well. The yuzu espresso tonic which is a signature was actually really good and that was my first time trying an espresso tonic. The yuzu flavor was actually pretty strong and it tasted nice. The blueberry lavender sage tea was unsweetened and tart. Very nice refreshing drink. The chocolate ginger pound cake that they source from bread works was pretty good. Was a it dry but not too sweet. Service was very friendly and quick. The prices here are a bit higher but they don't ask for tip since they include it in the prices of the drinks and food which is fine. read more

This café, located on East Pearl street, opened mid-2023 and is a great addition to Boulder. The atmosphere is relaxed and bright with lots of natural light, white walls accented with touches of forest green. There is a variety of seating options including bar stools, a community table, a couch, and long benches. A couple garage doors lead to a small patio. The menu offers coffee drinks, tea, beer and wine all day, with a limited selection of lunch items and a few desserts; the focus is on simplicity. I recently went for lunch with a few friends, and the food was good, light and fresh tasting. I love the attention to details, such as a the pretty bronze silverware, the handmade touch on the chai or cappuccino. It's also great that this place is tip-free; no more pressure to press a %25 button when it's time to pay. We need more businesses such as this one: woman-owned and locally sourced! read more

IM SO MAD THAT I HAVENT TRIED THIS YET! It was so so good I'm upset that I've been settling for less. Food and drinks so so good - it's a little difficult to find good seating for working with a laptop in there, but better than most places in Boulder. So 100% recommend going - just make sure your laptop is charged read more

Creature Comforts Cafe - Yuzu Match and Spinach Egg and Cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Such an aesthetic coffee shop. The vibes are unmatched, this is very much the kind of shop you sit down and read a book at. The staff are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. Very beautiful looking people too! I don't know the woman with the red hair but cute gal. Love her freckles. The food is very tasty and the coffee is 10x better than Starbucks, sorry starbie fans! Additionally, they're fast with the coffee which is great for a quick stop. I noticed they don't accept tips so I must leave a review to show how much I love this shop. Wish yall had some in Denver. read more

The server with long dark hair and a tattoo on her right tricep left a lot to be desired. When we ordered, she was unresponsive and we couldn't tell if she was actually getting our order correct. We checked to make sure that she had down that we needed GF toast and she just kept blankly looking at us, so we were never sure if she made that note. She said it would be 15mins to make the goat cheese and cucumber toast. We said that's fine. It turned out that her bf was there and she wanted to spend time with him. She leaves the cafe and goes outside to be with him. The person (red head with freckles) making our coffees was very nice and got those out to us. Meanwhile, 35 mins later, the person that took our order comes back into the cafe with her bf and starts to make our toast. We see the barista say to her that we have been waiting a while. She responds that she told us we would have to wait and that she didn't care since she told us (she had this tough girl idgaf attitude about it). You could tell the barista was embarrassed. We never said anything to the barista, she just noticed us sitting there drinking our to-go coffees. 35 minutes was much longer than 15. Our coffees were empty by then. We confirmed one more time that it was GF and just smiled and grabbed our toast and left. Not going back. read more

Inside is like a children's cafe, but for adults. Half of the seating are small tables and chairs that appear for kids, so I wonder if they designed this for families. If not, they should bring in regular tables and chairs for more comfortable seating options. Food and drinks are fantastic. It takes a little longer to prepare than other cafes, but if you can wait, it's worth it. They have a ham and cheese sandwich that is quite amazing. read more

Do go here not if you have allergies...not very kind baristas....so many better uplifting places in boulder!

As I was looking for the yarn store today on the east end of Pearl, I saw this cafe and decided when I was done at the yarn store I would stop here for a treat. I had heard of the new cafe as it took quite a while to repurpose the closed former drugstore/pharmacy and the city had not been easy to respond for their permits. But the local owner persevered and the result is a beautiful cafe, with a few gift offerings. I decided on and iced tea and a pastry and they were fresh, appropriately priced and served with a smile. The cafe was spotless, with a few people using wifi in one area, a few on the east patio having refreshments and even the self clean up area kept neat. It was really nice to see they knew their costs, including the worth of the staff and do not ask for a tip, clearly stated on the pay screen. It's a good practice for others to follow. If you price your product according to tue costs, many customer will appreciate it and so will your customers. There is an area with small pieces of decor and clever bits, for sale. Perfect if you need a token gift for someone or a treat for yourself. I found the place very comfortable, even for a solo patron. read more

Calissa(?) and Trina were absolutely fantastic on the morning of the Boulderthon. They handled the line and rush with grace and kindness! Spinach and egg sandwich on the milk bread was filling and the five spice latte was a perfect drink if you don't like super sweet specialty lattes read more

This cafe is super cute and trendy, and seemed very popular. We ordered the cucumber goat cheese toast and the cinnamon toast. The cucumber goat cheese toast could have been delicious, but there was way too much salt in the seasoning on top unfortunately. The cinnamon toast was almost impossible to eat - thick brioche bread that was super tough. The chai latte was delicious and service was friendly, just not sure it's worth it if you want a bite to eat. Each piece of bread came with a single strawberry as garnish. read more

Creature Comforts Cafe - Street view - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Excellent, thoughtful service and equally as good food! Wished I could have tried the whole menu.

The fact that you are so proud to call yourselves a " no tipping cafe" but you charge a sir charge of almost 20% ? Very misleading to begin with and not even allowing the customer to decide what they would like to tip if any. A 12oz matcha with almond milk was almost $10, very surprising! The man taking my order became rude by me just questioning your policy, in a calm fashion. The young lady making my matcha spilled the remnants of the last bag of matcha on the counter then proceeded to sweep it with her fingers off the work counter into a cup. No thank you! I left appreciating the coffee shop I normally go to Belleza! Service excellent, tip if you would like to, they pay their baristas a wage that values them as well. Your young man taking the order said " that's why everyone likes us because we don't except tips" that's just ridiculous. read more
