FIVE HUNDRED STARS for Simply Bulk! I love this place. Instead of buying 5lb bags of flour when I…read morego through 1lb a year, I fill a mason jar, label it with Sharpie and put it in my redneck country chic pantry with all the other mason jars of sugar, brown sugar, quinoa, gluten free organic oats, MECO cheese crackers, chocolate covered balls, coffee beans, organic olive oil, tamari sauce, and alllllll the spices I get from Simply Bulk. Local eggs, bread, soaps and value add products are always available at the register along with a fun selection of Longmont stickers. You can get almost everything here. I haven't loved the laundry soda (it doesn't work nearly as well as Charlie's) but they have tons of options of cleaning products and body care as well as the food selection. You can replace almost everything you buy at the grocery store with something Simply Bulk sells in bulk. You can also pick up free used buckets and 30-55 gallon drums for home and yard use - think of the rain barrels! Employees have always been super helpful and friendly and the staff has been consistent over time. Bring in empty salsa, condiment, pasta sauce jars (with their lids) to donate here for others to use who may have forgotten or don't have something the right size for what they're buying.

I started with the burrata appetizer, which had beautiful flavors with the beets and citrus. It was absolutely delicious. For my main dish, I had the risotto, which was rich and perfectly cooked, topped with a poached egg that made it even more indulgent. Dessert was incredible. The lime tart cake was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to end the meal. The overall vibe was warm and inviting, making it a really enjoyable brunch experience. Our server was on top of everything which was wonderful.

Hello Longmont and Boulder County!…read more A quick check in here at Red Cedar Bistro on Main Street! We had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant today and had an absolutely wonderful experience! We ordered 4 plates three shareable and 1 entree. We were taken back by the green chili hummus! It was spectacular- a guacamole style flavor profile full of delicious chickpeas, chili and garlic. A generous portion served with pita , veggies and olives. Our Crispy potato Bravas were a delicious crispy cut potatoes cooked to perfection served with a brava sauce that was spicy, a small hint of smoke and a creamy aioli that was a perfect topper! We finished our small shareable with chef Bruschetta. Fantastic toasted bread topped with chefs choice. Our entree was a Pasta full of amazing Burrata, Pea shoot pesto and a fresh mint finish! Generous portions. Our service was exceptional and the restaurant was clean, large, open with a lot of windows and amazing art! We would not hesitate to suggest - No - encourage - Well - maybe more like - GO and visit them! Seriously, You will not be disappointed. They offer many evenings with specials, a happy hour that sounds fantastic especially for the upcoming spring/summer months! We look forward to seeing this restaurant busy! Side note restrooms are clean and reasonably sized.

So, the food was very good! Well executed and solid quality ingredients…read more However, they would absolutely kill it if they would: 1) Install decent lighting. I mean, the drip ceilings with too-bright can lights and nothing else makes for an awful vibe. I mean c'mon. Even putting cheap candled and some basic overhead lighting that adds interest to the space would go a LONG way. 2) Staff for the night, not based on bookings. Especially in a place like Longmont and the sheer size of the space (way too big), you must be prepared. Tonight (Sat) at peak time to have TWO servers and one apparent manager or owner (who didn't jump in to help handle tables) is absurd. Luckily, the young lady waiting tables and trying to make drinks was truly a delightful person. 3) Arrange the floor in a way that makes it feel more interesting. Break it up, smaller groupings, etc. The setup now feels completely amateur and random. Anyway, enough free (and unsolicited) advice. Truly, the food was VERY good, so make it pleasurable to be in the room and you'll do well!

Once I found it and walked in they weren't busy and it took a minute for someone to greet me-- I elected to sit at the bar and ordered the pizza special, two slices of pizza and house salad.

My husband has lived in Longmont for two decades, and I've been here for 5 years, but neither of us had ever gone into the store. Since we were already in the shopping center to try a new place yesterday, we went to Frank's afterwards. Bottom line, we've finally found our favorite deli in the area. If it wasn't snowing today, we'd go back for a sandwich. Since we weren't immediately hungry, we instead looked over the meat selection and then zeroed in on the deli counter. I purchased just a few sample items. A bagel (they say it's a NY bagel, and it does have the right texture! Just wish they had whole wheat); whitefish salad (better than any others I've encountered in the area); cole slaw (perfectly blended - not too watery, not too dry); and a canoli, which was flaky and sweet. The deli items have an East Coast feel like no other in the area that I've encountered. Better than anything I found in Lakewood, where I lived before. And, since we just got back from a visit to my Dad in Florida, this was a welcome sight! The soup they had as a special, as well as the sandwich special descriptions sounded yummy, so we will go back, maybe this weekend. The meats also look good, so we will likely try some in the weeks to come. Again, I wish they could somehow create a place, even outside, where we could sit to eat. We could then eat right away instead of having to go home first. But even with that inconvenience, we look forward to more encounters. The young man who helped us doesn't know much yet about the choices, but I'm sure if he stays there, he'll learn. He was pleasant and helpful, asking another employee when he didn't know an answer. It's already busy there, but yes, I recommend going and waiting to try their goods! It's worth the wait.

The spaghetti is a thick noodle and the sauce was very good. The garlic bread was a treat with loads of garlic. The meatballs are very big and they are mostly meat with little to no filler.
