Bodega with reasonable prices off the West end of Pearl St is worth the slight diversion from the more touristy areas. Outdoor tree shaded cafe attracts unkempt locals with guitars and dogs, but they're harmless read more

We stopped by Lolita's after exploring Boulder and a pre-Rocky Mountain hike. The deli sandwiches are made fresh and quick, and the deli has so many snacks and drinks you can enjoy with your sandwich. Caprese sandwich on toasted ciabatta was SO delicious- the pesto mayo is creamy and the mozzarella chunks are generous. The sandwich is simple and satisfying. read more

This is a smaller grocery store and sandwich spot conveniently located between the shops on Pearl street and the hiking trails around Mount Sanitas. I love to stop here for drinks and snacks before and/or after hiking in the summer. I got a breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheddar cheese, hasbrowns, and avocado. I don't like sausage and I am glad they had an option to get avacado instead of meat for no extra charge. Even though the spot is pretty small, is is super stocked and filled with local goods that are hard to find outside of the farmers market. read more

What an awesome town Boulder is. And what an amazing gem Lolita's is! Small shop with two folks running the sandwich section. And putting love into this food. My wife and I ordered two sandwiches and bought snacks and drinks from the shop! I got the classic Pearl Street sandwich and my wife ordered the pastrami. The turkey sandwich was amazing. I loveeeee sprouts on sandwiches. And the sprouts here were on point. The cheese was fresh and the turkey was sooooo juicy. Overall. Soooo good. I got some pretzels to go with my sandwich and it was so good. Along with a soda. And the vibes? Immaculate. The staff were so nice, and felt like a family run establishment. The weather was perfect that day so eating outside was amazing. And overall I was so relaxed while eating my fresh sandwich. If you're in boulder and looking for a bite to eat, don't be afraid to stop into Lolita's! read more

A catastrophe. Usually I get good sandwiches here but this morning I came in hung over looking to get a good comforting blt. I mean bacon, lettuce, tomato, on toast, just absolutely classic and nearly impossible to mess up. But boy was I sad when I unwrapped that paper and say this sad soggy looking "sandwich" hardly put together on un-toasted bread. I was even more discomforted when I took my first bite and had an absolute MAYO BOMB explode in my mouth after puking my brains out last night. Over all super sad experience. read more

Small but mighty, even though it's no longer a 24 hour spot. The selection is good for such a small place and the staff are wonderful. My husband and I live in the mountains and while there is a lot to love about that, we also sometimes miss being in town, so we take walks through the most walkable part of Boulder. On those days, we also go to Lolita's for breakfast, coffee, and tea. It's a routine we enjoy. The food at Lolita's is solid, especially the breakfast burrito. I used to prefer the Lo' Muffin with avocado, but they moved away from real avocado and now use a spread. Alas. Overall, a great spot, even though I miss it being 24 hours. I very much appreciate the online ordering system and reasonable prices. I'm glad this place is still around. read more

Really convenient little market near my work. I love that I can stop in for snacks, drinks, toiletries, or some really great sandwiches. Any time I don't bring a lunch to work, I'm going to walk over to Lolita's and get a warm sandwich. I love a lot of the recipes for their sandwiches, but it's nice that you can also customize them on the tablets you order from. The picture doesn't do it justice, the Sanita's chicken is tasty! My other favorite is the Greek one with feta and all the other typical Greek salad/sandwich goodies. read more

In the most Colorado of fashions, I was looking for a quick stop after a hike. Lolita's Market is situated in the heart of Pearl St. in Boulder and I was pretty impressed with their selection of deli sandwiches, as well as the market side of things. According to their website, they are Boulder's only full service market AND deli. They are also located in one of Boulder's most historic buildings. They also house a ton of local Colorado brands, partners and producers. Even though the deli closes before dinner, the market is open late! Naples Staples // Roasted turkey, melted provolone cheese, and pesto mayo with lettuce, tomato and onion served on a toasted hoagie roll. All sandwiches include a pickle and choice of side (chips, fruit, potato salad, macaroni salad, or coleslaw). Um yes, this was a tasty sandwich. Roasted turkey can often be dry, but not here. Lolita's knows what they're doing. Although I didn't order the Italian (which is my go-to), I appreciated the pesto mayo which brought the whole sandwich together. The soft bread was clutch. Sandwich took about 15 minutes, then I immediately ran to my car and scarfed the whole thing down. #HappyCamper Ultimately, for a quick stop post hike, I'm a fan. If I hadn't gone grocery shopping a few days prior, I totally would've bought some items for the road. Great spot, will return! read more

Fat mikey takes the win, it was really good. However, I still love the firehouse, and hope to live in a world someday where both sandwiches can shine on the lolitas menu.

I wish I had known about this place years ago. We were looking to grab some sandwiches for our flight later in the day. It was the best decision we made. I had the breakfast bagel sandwich and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. It was so delicious, so fresh, and this was hours after I bought it. My wife had something similar and asked me if mine was as mind-blowing as hers so it's not just a one-off... this place will be my go-to whenever I'm looking for a sandwich in the area. read more

First visit to Lolita's last Friday on a sunny, winter Boulder day. My wife and I planned on walking around the Pearl street mall with our dog, but were bummed to find out that dogs are not allowed on the mall between 11th and 15th streets. We ended up walking around the area West of 11th and we stumbled upon Lolita's. A sandwich sounded like the right fit for lunch so we looked up a menu on Yelp. Walking in, I saw a variety of local snacks, drinks and sweets for sale. The deli is in the back and I was able to place my order right away. I chose the Thai chicken sandwich (see pic) and my wife picked the cheesesteak sandwich with mac salad and potato salad for the sides. After a short wait I grabbed the sandwiches and paid at the front. Some tables were available outside so we were able to enjoy our lunch in the sun. Both of the sandwiches were tasty, although the cheesesteak had shredded beef instead of grilled steak. The bread was choice, which to me, is always the make or break factor of a good sandwich. The staff was friendly, the food portion was plentiful and everything was freshly made. The prices have gone up quite a bit (just like most places) compared to the menus shown on Yelp, but their website is up to date and you can order from there. They also have a cold case with pre-made sandwiches that look good if you are in a hurry. It is a full grocery store as well, so really a one stop shop. Good for stopping in before or after a hike! read more

We popped in to get sandwiches since this place gets such good ratings. We ordered three sandwiches which totaled $50 with tip. No drinks or chips. Upon paying I asked the older woman with longer silver hair working behind the counter to use the restroom. She told me no public restroom. I told her we were paying customers and she scoffed and said "no public restrooms. Can you imagine if we let people use the restrooms?" Wow - what an attitude so I walked away and she again, scoffed at me. So her attitude sucked. And public restrooms under the building code are required in retail food establishments generally. But the biggest bummer was the lame sandwich with basically nothing on it for $15. I'd skip this place for a more friendly generous place. read more

The Lolita's market sits right off Pearl St and is truly a wonderful place to get some very good and reasonably price food. If you're looking for a great sandwich or burrito or other healthy option to fill up the belly. You can get a great breakfast bagel for around 5 to 7 bucks or most other options for around 10 bucks. You may be wondering why I keep mentioning the price of their stuff and it is because everything else near Pearl where my office resides is much more costly. Also the staff is always friendly and that is a fantastic thing! If you in the mood for a great breakfast or lunch on the move you really can not beat Lolita's market. read more

One of the more authentic places in Boulder. We took our sandwiches to a nearby park, as there's not enough outdoor seating to accommodate the hungry college students at noon on a Friday. Sat under a tree and enjoyed the Mountain view! Walk to the back of the market, stand in line, order your food, pick out a drink, when your food is done they hand it to you and you bring it to the front register to pay. I ordered the Vermont Turkey Club and my partner ordered a hot sub the Firehouse. It's supposed to come with a side but we only received one of the two we ordered. We got a potato salad. My turkey sandwich was packed full of meat and cut in half. Definitely enough for two people. They added just enough sauce. The Firehouse was a smaller round sandwich, messy, and tasty. Subs come with a bonus pickle slice wrapped inside! Paid parking only. If I lived in the area I'd make it my goal to eat my way through the menu! read more

On our way back from Rocky Mountain National Park we wanted a good deli sandwich. Reviews looked great but wish I would've heeded the 1 star. No restroom. I spent almost $30 on 2 sandwiches and was informed I could use the donut shop bathroom across the road. Silver haired woman was beyond rude. Sandwich staff mentioned using the bathroom at Walmart so I asked for directions and was told there wasn't a Walmart in Boulder and the K gas station didn't have a bathroom so don't bother going there. WEIRD. My sons sandwich was great. Mine wasn't what I even ordered (The Pearl). It had NO turkey or sprouts but tons for fresh cucumber?? We were already back on the highway when I unwrapped it and realized it was vegetarian. Menu states you get a pickle and a side, we got nothing?? Waste of $$ and wouldn't recommend. read more

That being said, it is a real shame they have not followed the lead of a major national competitor and removed the sale of cigarettes from their supposed health oriented business plan.

The basement level is the vitamin, supplements, first aid and quasi medical supplies that you would find in other chains, offering both national brands and private store brands. Plenty of sizes available which seems to be a failing of the big groceries and discount box stores. There is no prescription pharmacy at this location. Being adjacent to campus, they are serving a population that generally receives University healthcare which includes their own, and very affordable pharmacy. The main level still sells CU gear as before along with school supplies, tech accessories and gift items. There is a grocery section including refrigerated and freezer cases of convenience foods. The upper mezzanine level includes beauty, personal care and household cleaning supplies. On opening day, there was plenty of staff and checkouts on the main floor and the mezzanine. I doubt they will maintain so much staff unless they attract a larger number of customers. The prices are higher than you would find at a destination big box but if you sign up for rewards membership, it becomes far more competitive. This is true of all such health chains.

Lately, the peas are so dry and tough-skinned they're inedible. The broccoli florets are woody. There have been times over the years they were out of certain frozen veggies, and that seemed disappointing, but it was better then buying a bunch and thinking I had them to feed the kids, but then finding all we had was inedible. The broccoli has been woody for a couple months at least. We stopped buying that, and stocked up on the peas, but now they're gross.

I have to admit, this store favorite is a bit of a mess right now with a large remodel underway…read more But please know, many longtime staff members are keeping track for you to help find what you feel has gotten loss. Some items are now where they should as have been, like peanut butter is now next to jam and jelly jars rather than applesauce and baby disposable diapers! Who ever thought up that choice? But now all the chicken is in sealed packages rather than the fresh case. The staff has offered to open a package to sell only a smaller amount but I wonder how likely they will have time for this? A loss for me as I only buy for two people most of the time. Another change is that the olive bar is stand alone and no longer dished out into containers to grab and go. Much more chance of contamination from a different item from another bin. I still prefer this store for many things though both of the smaller Whole Foods location have a usefulness too. The previous in store location of Birdcall is now gone the the free standing location at Twenty Ninth Street Mall is still open and has seating a parking better than when it served here. It's nice to see staff members still working here for 20 years but also nice that some turnover happens for new energy too. When the remodel is done I will be back with pictures and an evaluation from a shopper's point of view.

I shopped this store when I first came to Boulder as I lived quite close to it. But as more and…read moremore supermarkets sprung up around town and I moved from this neighborhood I shopped elsewhere in bigger more modern stores. Even when I needed an item specific to Safeway, I used the larger more modern one on Baseline. This wee we were looking for a special product for a drink we like. Brand matters as others we have used are not as mellow. Earlier today we had stopped at another chain where we had bought it last time. And they were sold out as was their On a whim I tried this one and went to the likely location and still did not see it even though listed in stock less than an hour ago. A staff member was workin a few feet away so I asked him. He showed me where and it was almost in front of me but way inside to the back of the shelf. Very few left. We decided to take two today since it is flying off shelves apparently. This store is much as I remembered. It is not well ventilated so it always has the odor of what is cooking. It has a claustrophobic feel. But, I thank the pleasant staff member for helping so quickly and I am pleased they actually had an accurate inventory online.

Immediately threw out the entire package and the whole meal we'd prepared with it. Contacted customer support the next day for a refund. Was told the manager would call me back; never happened. Have followed up four times over the past two weeks and keep getting told it's "escalated to the district manager." Still no call, no refund, no resolution. Very concerned that spoiled meat made it to customers and that Sprouts has ignored this for weeks. This is a serious food-safety issue.

The only thing is that on their website it is VERY HARD to find the price on products and sometimes the price won't even show at all. Sometimes I wonder why their web site exists at all, it's so bad and difficult to use.

Workers are always friendly and say hello, I go here often so it's my main store. One tiny feedback, sometimes the bagged salads don't last as long as Walmarts. I have no idea why but otherwise they are great! They had to renovate under sad conditions but are a much nicer store and larger than 30th St. Great discount salmon selection too.
