I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and opted for the raspberry donut, which was incredibly fresh and tasty. It was quite busy on this weekday afternoon. There was consistently a line, so I could tell it's a popular spot. Plenty of people inside sitting at tables and on their laptops too. I only saw street parking. Not sure what else is available in the area.

The breakfast sandwich (with sausage) was good - the bun it was on was super soft and a mismatch for the structured sandwich. It ended up being hard to eat. The Roman sandwich was ok but had too much cheese. Our coffee (drip and an oatmilk latte) were good. It was busy on a Tuesday morning at 8:30, we were lucky to get a table for two.

They had amazing drinks and the server had great recommendations on their menu for what we were feeling.

There are some nice park paths nearby with great views of the mountains and valley. Highly recommend this place!

Overall: Food is excellent in terms of quality and flavors. I keep coming back for brunch…read more Food: Rich and all dishes I've tried so far are solid whether it's the Buddha bowl, avo toast, burrito, burger, shakshuka, jam sandwich, pancakes, French toast, chai doughnut holes or huevos. I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.

Pretty cool local coffee shop in the Crossroads neighborhood of Boulder. I dropped by on a Friday…read moremid-morning and it was very busy. Loved all the plants and decor to make the shop welcoming and bright. Seating was fairly limited or at least all tables were occupied and ended up just taking my treats to-go rather than working from the shop as I planned. Staff were relatively friendly and speed of service was average. I had an iced 16 oz vanilla latte ($6) and a bacon breakfast burrito ($10.5). Found it to be on the more expensive side for value received. Everything was good but I would order lite ice next time as it's a pretty expensive latte half displaced by ice otherwise.

First off note that they are no longer on Pearl but on Alpine next to Santo in the shopping center…read morewith Ideal Market/Alpine Whole Foods. I'll get the Yelp page fixed later today. We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide.

Their food is a tad on the expensive side, but the quality and vibe justified trying it out. I tried their raspberry cheese danish, which was super flaky and buttery with a tasty raspberry filling. They heated it up for me, which made it even better. It was warm and crisp on the outside, soft and slightly tangy in the center. I also ordered the hibiscus lemonade tea, which was nicely tart, refreshing, and not overly sweet. I'd definitely get that again. Service was really friendly and welcoming. The staff were kind and efficient despite it being busy. Ambiance-wise, it's a great study spot overall. It does get crowded, so tables (especially ones near outlets) can be hard to snag. The background music can be a bit loud at times, but with headphones in, it was totally manageable. Overall, a great place to grab a pastry and drink while getting some work done.

A nice second location in an easy to access shopping center, the south end of Twenty Ninth St…read more parking is easy in the lot so we combined two stops, a lunch at Alpine Moderna and pick up order at Staples. We often use the original Alpine Modern on the Hill but this is the same menu but sometimes more convenient when we'd rather not walk or have other business at Twenty Ninth St. Sadly when we arrived and I tried to order my favorite of their toasts (Blueberry Ricotta with spicy honey and almonds) it had been discontinued the day before after many years! I was so sad but I ordered the classic Avocado and it was fine. I hope they bring the Blueberry Ricotta back for summer. My husband had the classic smoked salmon. Maybe next time I will try that. He had a mocha and I had iced tea. Their drinks are always good and they have a few holiday flavors right now. Sadly, their pastry selections are not as wide as in the past. But service is good, the seating is clean and comfortable. We'll use this location when in the area or in bad weather.

One of my favorite cafes in the Denver-Boulder metro area…read more Food & Drinks They have a delicious spread of cakes and scones, and what I really like is that the menu isn't constant and keeps rotating, so there's always something new to try. A standout detail is that all their flavorings and syrups are made in-house, which really elevates the drinks. You can even buy small bottles of their syrups in-store. Service Service is quick and friendly. The baristas are especially helpful in explaining pastries and flavor profiles, which makes it easier to try something new. Ambience The cafe has a vintage cottage, cozy vibe with plenty of nooks and crannies -- perfect for both conversation or getting some work done. Overall A warm, inviting space with great pastries and thoughtfully crafted drinks -- definitely a spot I keep coming back to, even from South Denver.
