    Yogurt Parfait
    Emma J.

    If a place like this is ever going to thrive, Boulder it is! We went on a Monday morning around 9am and were the only customers. Prior to entering, we heard it may be run by a cult, however, we did not look into it as it was quite literally the only place on all of Pearl street open for breakfast other than Snooze which we were banned from as my sister as meeting friends there. We were a bit skeptical the whole dining process but the food and drinks were honestly delicious. We got the iced mint mocha which was so delicious, green tea, yogurt parfait, breakfast sandwich, and spinwich. All of the ingredients were fresh, well prepared, and tasty. Once we left, we read about the background history and some of the values of the twelve tribes associated with the Yellow Deii. Had we known the tribe and beliefs it is linked to, we likely would not have eaten here.

    This is an exceptionally warm and welcoming place both in interior design, friendly and efficient service and tasty food, the one that you would like to visit again with a friend. Music deserves special praise. It blends harmoniously with the rest and creates festive atmosphere. Every tiny detail is thoroughly thought over and strengthen each other. The food is delicious, made with love, the attention we received here is also noteworthy. Prices are reasonable and we left with our bellies full. We will be back!

    Had a great time food was great, the staff was friendly and attentive. And the place just had a serene atmosphere. Great for reading.

    Would not have supported this business had I known Twelve Tribes (an alleged cult that you can find materials about online) operates this. We stumbled upon this as we were looking for desserts after dinner. It was the only place still open (it's open 24/7 except for Saturday). It has the log cabin vibe with religious inclining messages on the walls. Staff was very friendly. The carrot cake was alright: thick sweet icing tasted weird, not a fan

    Awesome food and friendly people! The Reuben sandwich is the best ever and I highly recommend! A bowl of soup with freshly baked bread is always great and you can never go wrong with that! Also their muffins are so fresh and delicious! They serve it warm with salted butter and it's awesome! Super cute decor and also great selection of cafe drinks. Highly recommend this awesome somewhat hidden restaurant on Pearl Street!

    Hi. Is this a table service style restaurant or cafeteria style?

    It's table service.

    How are the corn beef sandwiches at the deli?

    Delicious

    These sandwiches were awesome! They have a variety of incredible sounding sandwiches which I'd love…read moreto come back to and try. The ones we got were delicious, very fresh, and super satisfying. The drink options are also really nice. I'm excited to come back and try some more! Note that they don't have a restroom you can use there so plan to wash your hands and use the restroom elsewhere. Staff was very friendly and place the was clean and well kept.

    First visit was meh for me. It's a small space- limited seating and one table was left uncleared…read morethe entire time we were there (30 minutes?), so when customers neglect to clear their own tables, staff aren't bothering to check tables. We ordered to eat there, but they still packaged our sandwiches to go. The staff didn't call out the order loud enough for us to realize they'd been prepared, so I think they sat at the counter for a while. My son was happy with his chicken pesto though he commented that it could've used a more generous application of the pesto. I kinda suffered from order regret. I chose the Turkey & Brie. The moment I unwrapped it, I was overwhelmed by the onion smell. Even after removing some of the onion, its presence lingered. My bad, I ordered it after all. The turkey and Brie comes with apple slices, and two kinds of mustard - a honey mustard and stone ground mustard. The honey mustard is what caught my eye. While I realize stone ground mustard is tangier, this sandwich was overcome by the strength of the onion and stone ground mustard. You don't even notice the apple and Brie. Just an overall miss for me. Last, if you happen to be dining in, you can use a bathroom (with a code) but it's a block away in a parking garage. I'm not down in Boulder super often, but I'm likely to skip a return visit. If I were to return, I'd try the chickpea and avocado sandwich instead and hope for better luck.
