Piece Love and Chocolate is a charming sweet shop located on Pearl Street, offering an array of delectable chocolate treats. From truffles to sipping chocolates, chocolate-covered pretzels, and more, this whimsical boutique is a haven for chocolate lovers. In addition to its delightful confections, the shop also features artisanal and gourmet chocolate bars from both American and international producers.
We had a really fun event here and they put out all kinds of different flavored chocolates, including hot pepper chocolate that made my tongue burn. For those of you who like the heat, you’ll love it. They also put out basil and cherry chocolates that were flavorful and delightful, as the basil tasted just like eating fresh basil, and the cherry as well, fresh cherry. They took us on a tour in the back where they make the chocolates. It’s a very intimate, colorful and unique setting that feels good to spend time in.

Good selection of unique truffles. I bought the strawberry balsamic chocolate and it was good, though I couldn’t taste much strawberry flavor (heavier flavor profile towards dark chocolate and balsamic). Staff did not seem very friendly or helpful, but we got what we ordered just fine.
Emma C — Google review
Stepping into Piece love Chocolate is a truly delightful escape! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with cute, quiet vibes that make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. And oh, the treats! I can honestly say their Caramel Mocha is hands down the best I have ever had. It’s perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with that wonderful rich caramel flavor dancing with the coffee. I've been searching for a mocha this good for ages, and I've finally found it. Beyond the incredible drinks, I also had the pleasure of attending their macaron class, and it was a fantastic experience. It was well-taught, fun, and left me feeling like a macaron master (or at least, well on my way!). The staff guiding the class were patient and lovely, making the whole time a joy. This place is more than just a bakery; it's a sweet little haven. Whether you're looking for an incredible coffee, a quiet place to unwind, or a fun and engaging class, you won't be disappointed. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Cannot thank you guys enough for this cake! It was a wonderful surprise for my newly engaged friend, and the chocolate vanilla bean cake was incredible. Could not have asked for a more perfect cake!
Reena T — Google review
I can’t recommend this chocolatier highly enough! I called with a last-minute request for over 400 truffles to hand out at a conference, and Lola was absolutely fantastic to work with. The communication was seamless, the turnaround time was incredible, and the willingness to go above and beyond was out of this world. The chocolates were a huge hit with everyone: beautifully made, delicious, and exactly what we needed to make an impression. I coordinated everything remotely, and from placing the order to delivering the treats into attendees’ hands, it was a smooth, stress-free, and successful experience. Thank you, thank you! We will absolutely be back when we're in Boulder again (and will plan ahead this time)!
Chelsea M — Google review
I was attending a bachelorette party that would have a chocolate charcuterie board, so I googled chocolate store between Estes Park and Golden, whered I'd be staying. I wouldn't say I ordered too much because you can never have enough, but I did order quite a bit. They were so patient with me as I made all the important truffle making decisions. BTW I highly recommend the pistachio eclair.
Annie Z — Google review
The chocolates are pretty but super overpriced. We got 8 different flavors and we could barely taste anything but the chocolate. I also got a chocolate covered pretzel (not worth it) and an almond lace cookie (this was just okay). We also got a few macarons, which were pretty good. But it really says something about a chocolate place where the non chocolate items taste better than the actual chocolate.
Alice H — Google review
All the desserts and chocolate truffles looked great. We tried Tiramisu, which was amazing, and Pistachio Eclair, which didn't really excite me, even though I love pistachio desserts. The atmosphere of the store was nice, and the service was very pleasant. The prices are higher, but that probably won't surprise you in downtown Boulder. Yeah, try it!

Bakery
Boulder Baked is a popular bakery in a town known for its high altitude. The bakery offers a variety of cookies, cupcakes, and cakes, with options for vegans and those who are gluten-free. Their Play on Words name has made them a favorite among college students and locals. They are particularly well-known for their delicious gluten-free cupcakes and offer many of their cookies in gluten-free versions as well.
Great local cookies. I liked that they use natural ingredients. They bake the cookies while you wait, so right out of the oven. I like that the cookies are not huge like some of the other chain cookie stores. Just the right amount! We will be back, every flavor we tried, we thought was great.
Megan K — Google review
Came in and got a coffee and oatmeal raisin cookie. The cookie did not have any raisins. Asked the very kind lady working if the cookie was supposed to have raisins. She said yet, but I might have just got one without raisins. Nice people, small cookie with no raisins. Probably not get their food if you go.
James Z — Google review
We are from Minneapolis, and we stopped in for a late night treat. They have gluten free options for all of their sandwiches. This was the first time I’ve had a Cuban since I went gluten free, and it was amazing!
Julia A — Google review
As a person that eats GF and DF, I needed to check this place out while I was in town. I got a gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate cup cake with white frosting. My partner got a regular German chocolate cupcake. As we were checking out, we saw the cookies sign on the wall and asked about the GF/DF cookies. They needed to be baked so we waited 10 min for them. Got the gluten-free chocolate one and the gluten-free and dairy-free peanut butter ones. My partner ate his cupcake while we waited for the cookies. I took all mine home as the cookies were freshly baked and needed a few to cool down. I tried the cookies when we got home, and they had a weird flavor. I thought it was me and closed them up to try the next day. I tried them again the next day and still this odd flavor to them. I cannot put my finger on the flavor I just didn’t like it and disregarded both cookies. I asked my partner about his cupcake he said it was fine. I tried my cupcake, and I can tell you the cake itself was AMAZING! It had good flavor, was moist and all around yummy. But I can also tell you I hated the frosting; it tasted like it was made from Crisco and I promptly discarded it. I hate to do this when it is a small bakery, but I feel I must be honest. Parking was also difficult at night when a dance class was in session.
S W — Google review
Hands down my favorite cupcakes, haven't found anything as yummy in 10+ years. A must have treat anytime we visit Boulder. I was a devout red velvet gal until I tried the coconut this past trip and I think it might be my new favorite.
Adele M — Google review
My wife and I stopped on two separate occasions to Boulder Baked for some wonderful cookies. She heard about this place and knew I would enjoy the fact that they are made to order. We were able to order and pickup these cookies about 10-15 minutes after ordering. Pro Tip: Wait 25-30 minutes before eating these cookies as most of these cookies will melt right in your hand if you try to eat them right when you get them. My favorite flavor was the Peanut Butter M&M while my wife loved the Red Velvet. These cookies are definitely delivered on taste and quality. I would highly recommend coming here for your sweet tooth fix.
Ryan M — Google review
This is by far a local favorite. Boulder Baked has the absolute best made to order cookies and cupcakes. Absolutely love it!

The most delicious and fresh gluten free chocolate chip cookie I have ever had! I even ordered a second one. The GF turkey sandwich was phenomenal and the staff were very friendly. Can’t wait to return soon!

Coffee shop
Spruce Confections is a coffeehouse located in the north end of Boulder. They offer a variety of house-baked pastries, including cupcakes, scones, cookies, and cheese danishes. Their soups and sandwiches are also available for customers to enjoy in their cozy digs. The quality of their coffee is exceptional, and their baked goods are delicious. They even have an impressive selection of packaged gluten-free cakes and breads that are worth every penny.
Not only does Spruce Confections have yummy food (burritos, sweet confections) and delicious drinks (coffee, juices, etc.); every Sunday from 9:30-11:30 there is joyful music in the sweet courtyard on the side. A great band—string instruments and singing—has been playing for the last 15 years (and who I just recently discovered). Old time jazz and tunes that make your feet tap and your head nod. Great folks and fun atmosphere! Following is the Spruce Confections off of North Broadway, In Boulder This tiny, intimate Cafe reminds me of something from a movie of a place that was in the middle of nowhere, even though this is surrounded by all kinds of sweet little shops for coffee and pastries, etc. My friend chose this place because she says they have the best pastries around. I chose a shortbread cookie with chocolate chips that was as tasty and fresh as it sounds. The art on the walls are done by a local artist and the oil paintings pop out with vibrancy that welcome you into the tiny little shop. The employees are decorated with tattoos and friendly and helpful, especially since we blew in from the street on a very blustery day! I could’ve easily spent the entire morning there and crowds of people entered and left and with the atmosphere, so entirely comfortable, like you’re sitting in your best friend’s kitchen, chatting to save the world with your best friend over Blueberry tea. You are saving yourself as your friend saves herself, which really is the beginning of a great relationship with the Earth, time and everyone else.

Two stars because the food is good, but two stars because the service is terrible. The lady behind the counter this morning looked like she’d rather be anywhere else than at work. Miserable. I live right down the street, and I would rather drive across town to Verb where the people are nice and the service is top-notch. Save yourself the heartache, and go somewhere where the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Croissant and pastry tasted pretty good but whilst light and crispy on the outside, the inner was heavy and insufficiently cooked. Nice coffee. A lot on the expensive side. Very pleasant and relaxing location.

I’ve been to every location and have never been disappointed. Whether it coffee or chai always hot when you want it, a scone or croissant they heat them up as requested, you won’t be disappointed with any of the many fabulous choices that they carry.

The best packaged gluten free cakes and breads I've ever tasted. I wish we had this where I live, or that they offered mail order, because it would be worth every dime. I had the cinnamon bread, mocha chip bread, and chocolate zucchini bread. All win.
Kelley — Google review
Smelled delicious in there and I can’t speak for their confections, so if you’re going for something besides coffee, maybe ignore my review. But I ordered a latte and it was not a latte. As a former college barista (weren’t we all 🤷🏼‍♀️) I can say that she likely just stuck the steam wand in and straight up boiled the milk, the ratio of espresso to milk to foam was way off.. basically watery, overcooked milk, no foam. The price was a few dollars less than the downtown Boulder coffees, but that doesn’t really count for anything if you have no interest in finishing the drink. The three stars are to acknowledge that the lady who made the coffee was extremely sweet and friendly, and the fact that they offer a nice selection of gluten free options (again, didn’t get any, but it is nice to offer!) Layout of the shop is a bit awkward, but there is outdoor seating and plenty of parking since it’s in the newly developing NoBo “arts district “
Jen M — Google review
Stopped by here late on a Sunday just 15 minutes before they closed. So was not surprised the selection was low. We went with the sweet potato breakfast burrito, green chili biscotti, and a cranberry cookie. All of the food was delicious and priced reasonably. The staff was helpful and pleasant despite the near closing of our arrival. Nice place and worthy of consideration.

Nestled on Pearl Street, Glacier Homemade Ice Cream & Gelato is a beloved local gem that delights ice cream enthusiasts with its impressive selection of over 80 artisanal flavors. Every two weeks, they introduce a new flavor to keep things exciting. From timeless classics like chocolate and vanilla to innovative options such as lavender honey and lemon chiffon, there's something for everyone. The homemade waffle cones are an absolute must-try!
Best ice cream I’ve ever had. Genuinely. The texture is that fresh creamy but not too buttery texture of fresh ice cream!!! Holds up well too in my own freezer (I don’t love super hard ice cream) The employees here are generally sweet and helpful. I usually try a few flavors and get 2 in a pint which is I think around $7 I believe. I love when they fill it up vertically half and half but not every employee does it this way. They have other size options for value and ones that are already in their fridge / single flavor are more affordable. My favorites: butter pecan, strawberry

Best ice cream ever. Tried their coffee ice cream. Can’t wait to go back and try more! Everything looks amazing!

I love their range of flavors, especially in the vegan section. Sadly, the vegan section is almost always half full of freezer burnt ice creams. If you select carefully, you will not be sorry.

Dairy free selection is off the chain. This place has minimal indoor seating! They are not joking about how many flavors are home made there! Like 50 plus.... Home made waffle cones pints to go and cool art to look at

Remember when you found a penny on the ground as a kid heads up. Or how about when you found 20$ in a jacket you forgot about? How about the time you felt butterflies before your first kiss? These flavors are original and creative much like the works of Vincent Van Gogh. Specifically “Funky Donky” puts a new spin on what’s possible when you put your limited mindset in the garbage. This review was written by the Wisconsinites that brought you Lake Michigan. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s ours.

Large variety including both ice cream and gelato (with vegan options), plus uniquely CBD and alcohol pints. The vegan glacier cream with coconut and almond base was nice. Taste and portions are great for the price. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating and allow sampling. I had the vegan chocolate, birthday cake and lemon raspberry gelato ($6) and all of them were good.
Alan V — Google review
Good vaiety of flavors and overall good ice cream, but thier serving sizes are small and too overpriced. Their Peanut Butter Blast flavor played into my love of peanut butter and everything Reese's, but it still wasn't enough to overcome what I felt was a poor deal. One piece of advice I would give is that their going rate for a pint of ice cream to-go is much more reasonable, but I wouldn't recommend coming here just for a scoop or two of ice cream.

If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Boulder, make sure to stop by Gelato Boy, a delightful gem known for its homemade Italian gelato. This contemporary counter-serve spot offers an array of classic and innovative flavors that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Originally named Fior di Latte, which translates to "flower of milk," Gelato Boy prides itself on using minimal ingredients—just dairy, sugar, and starch—to create authentic gelato that captures the essence of Italy.
Gelato is so good. Multiple locations through boulder. Just love the raspberry dark chocolate chip. Hazelnut crunch and lavender. I would’ve tried it all It can get busy due to its location and staff No real place to lounge at the two locations I went

Great spot if you want lots of variety gluten free gelato options! I am always looking for gelato with different things mixed in and to be able to try cheesecake and cookies and cream was a treat! The other ones looked delicious as well. They also have GF cones and brownies you can get. Would 100% recommend the salty cookies & cream! Ate my gelato so quickly I forgot to take a picture until I was halfway done

Brilliant flavors (15 with 5 vegan), refreshing taste and texture, good prices ($6.75 for 3 scoops) and they allow sampling. Collectively our favorite flavors were the lavender poppy (unique and delicious), chocolate hazelnut crunch (done really well), and the gooey butter cake with caramel (rich and wonderful). The triple berry sorbet and dark chocolate sorbet were also pretty good. The staff were friendly, there was ample seating and they also had brownies, waffles and milkshakes. Only small drawback was one of my flight scoops had a few shavings of ice, likely from water freezing after scooping with a wet scooper.

Yucky with over powering sweetness. I have had a lot of gelatos in my life and this was by far the worst. I got the Sicilian pistachio and it was so disgustingly sweet. The sugar overpowered every thing else. There was no richness to the gelato either. We visit Boulder a lot and will avoid this place next time.

Sweet Cow is a popular ice cream spot located in a lively neighborhood. It offers a wide range of both classic and innovative flavors, such as The Big Lebowski with Kahlua and vodka, vegan Thai iced tea, and Larry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Madness. The shop is known for its delightful sundaes that can be customized with various toppings. With 24 daily flavors and additional rotating options every two weeks, there's always something new to try.
Lilly and her coworkers showed us patience, kindness, and professionalism. Lilly took excellent care of my boyfriend and I on our out of town visit to Boulder by being attentive to our ice cream wants despite other costumers being rude to her. She kept a smile on her face and ensured we continued to have a great experience and took great care of us. We applaud her grace and the support that her coworkers showed her during an unfortunate encounter with a difficult costumer.

Every place we travel to, the first thing we look for is unique ice cream opportunities. We had a fabulous experience yesterday at the Sweet Cow. My wife has several allergy issues, this did not faze the staff, they were happy to help her know what should could eat and what she could not eat. The ice cream was tasty, delightful, sizeable portions...YUM! We WILL BE BACK, and encourage anyone in the Boulder/Denver area to stop by and ENJOY!!

Sweet cow is a really great place to get ice cream treats! They have at least 10 types of ice cream flavors each night and they also have milkshakes, root beer floats, and ice cream cakes! They are really friendly and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the ice cream.

I’m from Hawaii so I’m used to paying $12 for two scoops of ice cream. Imagine my surprise when I got two big plump scoops of ice cream here at Sweet Cow for less than seven bucks!

Great ice cream with classic inspired flavors (24 with 3 vegan) at very good prices (5.25 for double). They allow sampling and most of their flavors involve america's favorite candies and cereals which is quite nice. They have ample indoor seating and allow sampling. Definitely recommend. Our favorite flavors were the Dutch chocolate, big Lebowski and the California fig. Captain crunch berries and York peppermint patty was also good. They also have ice cream cakes.

Lucky's Bakehouse and Creamery is a special bakery that specializes in pastries, cakes, and ice cream in innovative flavors. This bakery is located inside of a Boulder market, which makes it easy to find but many people are unaware of its delicious offerings. Pastries at Lucky's can be gluten-free, so this bakery is perfect for those with dietary restrictions. Because the bakery sources its ingredients from local farms when possible, you can be sure your food is fresh and high quality.
The blue corn cookie came highly recommended, as a corn lover myself and liking “other” corn cookies I figured it was worth a try. It has a very similar taste but I enjoyed the crunch and texture of the cookie. The color of the corn didn’t make a difference but it was nice seeing blue without it being artificial. I think all of the Lucky’s establishments within this area are really great, I recommend visiting them all.

GF/DF and when I mentioned it was our daughter’s 9th birthday and she wanted something less kid-like they did the attached. Absolutely gorgeous and delicious!!

The bakery here is absolutely adorable! It’s so charming and has just about every pastry you could dream of—croissants, muffins, cookies, danishes, and so much more. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, they’ve got it covered. I was especially impressed to learn they also make wedding cakes and custom specialty cakes—everything looked so beautifully crafted and professional. They do offer drip coffee right at the bakery, which is perfect for a quick grab-and-go, but if you’re looking for a latte or something fancier, you’ll want to head over to the restaurant. Such a cozy little gem with top-tier treats—I could’ve stayed there all day just admiring the selection. Definitely worth a visit!

I appreciate how Lucky's offers options for vegan and gluten free dietary needs. I especially love their Tahini Brownie. It's soft and yummy. My husband who doesn't have any dietary restrictions loves their Ginger cookies. So many great options for all kinds of taste buds. We love stopping there on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park.

The service was great and the person behind the counter was patient courteous. The place itself is small so if you plan on eating your desserts here there is only about 2 or 3 tables. We got a few options that were suggested and some of was bland and stale. The chocolate crossiant had no flavor and the chocolate inside was hard as a rock. We got a “donut” that was the best thing there. Also a lavender lemon type donut that was very good but really tart. We got s’mores cupcake and popcorn cake. The frosting was so seeet but the cake itself was good just a little dense. In all, I would just come back for that one donut and nothing else. I would pass.

Ben & Jerry’s is a renowned ice cream parlor chain originating from Vermont, celebrated for its inventive and cleverly named flavors. The Boulder location on Pearl Street is a beloved spot offering a wide array of indulgent flavors like Chunky Monkey and Phish Food. Known for their dedication to social and environmental causes, Ben & Jerry’s not only serves up delicious ice cream but also advocates for activism.
Great ice cream and the girl who took our order was very nice and personable. Only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to eat the ice cream with the flat little wooden spoon I was provided. Otherwise, great experience!

Steven E — Google review
Listen, if you haven’t had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream yet, I need you to stop whatever you’re doing, grab your wallet, and sprint to the nearest store. I don’t care if you’re in the middle of a work meeting, on a date, or in the middle of a very important nap—this is more important. Because Ben & Jerry’s isn’t just ice cream. It’s an experience. A lifestyle. A reason to believe in good things. First, let’s talk about the texture. This isn’t some weak, airy, ice-milk nonsense that melts into sadness as soon as it leaves the freezer. No, Ben & Jerry’s is thick, rich, and packed with so many mix-ins that your spoon has to fight its way through like an explorer hacking through the jungle. You don’t eat Ben & Jerry’s—you embark on a heroic journey through chocolate chunks, cookie dough boulders, and rivers of caramel. And the flavors? These aren’t your basic vanilla and chocolate situations (though their Vanilla is so good it makes me question everything I thought I knew about plain flavors). No, these flavors have personality. They have soul. They have so many mix-ins that I’m convinced the company’s motto is “What if we just put EVERYTHING in here?” Let’s start with Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It’s like someone took a fresh pan of brownies, cut out the middleman, and just stuffed them straight into the ice cream. Then there’s Half Baked, which takes those same brownies, throws in cookie dough, and leaves you wondering if life can get any better (spoiler: it probably can’t). Cherry Garcia? Absolute perfection. Chunks of real cherries and chocolate that make you feel fancy, like maybe you should be eating it while wearing a silk robe and contemplating art. And we cannot forget The Tonight Dough. This flavor has everything: caramel and chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookie swirls, chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough, AND peanut butter cookie dough. It’s so packed with goodness that you might start questioning if you even deserve this level of happiness. (You do. You absolutely do.) The only downside to Ben & Jerry’s is that once you start, there’s no stopping. The serving size says “⅓ of a pint,” but let’s be real—who eats just a third? That’s like eating a single fry and calling it a meal. No, once you crack open that lid, you’re in it for the long haul. You’ll promise yourself “just one more bite,” and the next thing you know, you’re staring into an empty carton, questioning your life choices and planning your next purchase. In conclusion, Ben & Jerry’s is a gift to humanity. It’s the only thing that has consistently been there for me through heartbreak, bad days, and movie nights gone wrong. If I could legally marry a pint of Netflix & Chilll’d, I would. And if you ever ask me for a bite of mine, I will consider it—before ultimately pretending I didn’t hear you and continuing to eat. Final rating: 1,000,000/10. Highly recommend.

Amazing ice cream. I was hoping to have a greater variety than what's sold in the groceries near me. There were only 2 different ones. Gave a 3 star because the shop itself seemed a bit dilapidated.
Pierre T — Google review
I love the company's political integrity. However: The sundae comes crammed into a narrow plastic cup, forcing you to eat it in strict layers: whipped cream first, then the top scoop of ice cream, then the next—if you can even reach it. It’s awkward to navigate with a spoon, more like stratigraphic sequencing than enjoyment. Why not just serve it in a bowl, as it's meant to be, so people can actually experience the ingredients together? And as for the cookie—there’s one tiny, half-baked piece buried at the very bottom, unreachable until the end, when everything’s melted. The whole thing feels more like a sequence of hurdles than a cohesive dessert. Also—over $11? That’s premium pricing for a subpar design. Also, no cherry on top? You cannot call that a sundae.

Don’t bother buying the waffles, all of them taste like sitting there forever, and don’t bother buying the scoops, two scoops is priced higher than a pint in retail. Conclusion wise, just buy from the fridge to avoid the scam!

This charming chain specializes in an impressive variety of premium chocolates and confections that cater to every sweet tooth.

One standout treat is their caramel apples, available year-round in ten tempting flavors—each one a delicious twist on the classic fall favorite.

When I crave chocolate and pass by a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory I’m going in! There’s not a time that I passed by one and not go in the store! I just love their chocolate. My favorite chocolate is English Toffee whether it’s dark or milk chocolate! I also got the chocolate covered strawberries which is a hit every time. The girl at the front is very sweet and friendly. I really love that each chocolate factory I go into whether it’s in Colorado or California the taste of their chocolate is exactly the same! Very consistent. Very delectable! This one is located on Pearl Street which I consider an outside mall. There are street parking everywhere but you have to pay a meter. There’s also a public parking lot. And I have to say it’s quite cheap since I come from California and almost everything is expensive. So parking is A+!

However, what truly sets Shamane's apart are its award-winning pies—celebrated by Thrillist as one of America's top pie shops.
Not only was our wedding cake gorgeous, it was absolutely delicious as well!

The team is so responsive, was willing to work with us to make our ideas come to life, and was so accommodating when we decided we needed delivery less than a month out. Shamane is lovely. Our desserts were amazing, and our guests were raving about how good our cake was all night. Now we return to the bakery to get sweet treats when we’re in town!

Wowie. I came here about a year and a half ago, before I had google maps, and remember this place as being a nice bakery in boulder, I also happened to grab a take and bake pie while I was there. I had initially planned on serving it the next time I had a party for dessert. Put it in the freezer and COMPLETELY SPACED!! Come back to two days ago (7/26/2025), when I’m cleaning my freezer out and here I find this pie. I figure I might as well make it, so I thaw it out overnight in the fridge. Simple instructions, and I follow them. The pie comes out of the over piping hot and a beautiful golden brown crust. Unfortunately, the top crust tasted like my freezer (but I take full responsibility, it was my fault for leaving it in the freezer for so long), but the filling and bottom crust were amazeballs. I believe it was an apple pie, and it had cranberries and a few blackberries as well. It is not a typical apple pie, but has sort of a more modern taste to it, and it’s delicious. The crust was crumbly to the touch and sooo buttery. I wish all pies could have this crust. I beg you, please, do not make the mistake of leaving it in the freezer for a year and a half, but bake it sooner than later, and just enjoy this delectable pie. I cannot wait to stop in again soon to try some more things.

Not only did they deliver the remaining cookie but gave my daughter a 6-pack for the trouble. This gesture was not necessary but really appreciate how the person I spoke with there wanted to “make it right.” A great business to deal with.

My boyfriend and I were here last night, so we drove over here, expecting that they would be allowing just one person in at a time or something. Well unfortunately they’re only doing pickup and takeout orders, so we decided to order online and wait to grab our order since we were already there. But of course their website doesn’t let you just get like one cookie sandwich for pick up or something, which was a real bummer, so we had to order the 12 small cookies. It was still good, but I was super bummed I couldn’t just tell the workers what I wanted as I was already there, and wait outside or something. Though at least the workers seemed to work fast with our order since they knew we were already there.

I love that they're open late and have a variety of cookies to choose from. However, I don't know that their pricing is super fair. I purchased a classic cookie six-pack, which was delicious by the way. However, if I wanted a 12 pack it would've been around $30 which is pricey for cookies. If you go to Insomnia, you won't be disappointed with the cookies, they're so so so good!

Personally this is a hard skip for me. I could forgive the fact that there are only two seats in the building if the bread was good. But we ordered ciabatta and got a thick loaf with a dense crumb.

Ordered two loaves of challah bread on Friday that were so hard and dry they ended up being inedible. They say they are baked the day-of but these felt and tasted stale and old. Really bummed because we had gotten a challah loaf from here two weeks ago and it was wonderful, soft and pillowy. Wish I hadn’t wasted the money on two expensive loves of bread that we ended up not being able to enjoy.

This was my first time checking out Moxie. I was really excited to try the cinnamon rolls because they had great reviews and the girl working really sold me on them so I got one for my partner and one for me. Disappointed when I got home as I found they were both burnt almost all the way through. You can see in the pictures they’re basically black but just covered with icing. I think this must’ve just been a bad day but if the item is over baked to this extent it shouldn’t be sold. Giving a 4 star review because I got a couple of other things which were good and the girls working and helping me were really nice. The ham & cheese croissant was really great, they say it’s a bit smoky and I don’t typically like smoky flavored things but it wasn’t too strong so I thought it was great. Also tried the butter toffee cookie (a flavor I wouldn’t normally be drawn to but they recommended it and it was great), and the ginger molasses. I wish they were a bit chewier, but flavor was still good. Ginger molasses was a very strong ginger molasses so if you’re not a fan of strong ginger, I wouldn’t recommend. I’d go back to try other things. Im just so disappointed in the cinnamon roll and that they would sell me TWO even when they were burnt to a crisp. They were $5 each so that’s $10 down the drain.

Although a very fun place to eat, we wanted to sit in a booth to be comfortable because we knew we would hang out for quite a while as we often do with one another. However, maybe because it was a full house, the restaurant did not allow only two people in a booth and that was a bit disappointing. We were going to sit at the bar, but noticed the upper level overlooking the downstairs area and chose to sit upstairs. It was after we were seated and ordered our food, that we noticed the noise level was quite dramatic, even though we sat upstairs in the small room overlooking the downstairs area. My delightful, close friend and I were there to celebrate her birthday (and mine as well) and because of the ridiculous noise pitch, we kept saying to the other, what did you say? I ordered a salad with mixed greens and salmon and it was the freshest salad I’ve ever ordered out. And also reasonably priced at $16. because of the nice piece of salmon. My friend ordered a tofu scramble that she enjoyed immensely. Both dishes that were served looked appetizing, artful and inviting to eat. The server was friendly and gave us great service; as soon as we ordered whatever it was, whether it was a glass with ice, she came back to us immediately. The only reason why I gave it three stars instead of five was the incredible noise level.

Came for brunch on a weekday and waited for a few minutes at the outdoor host stand before having to go inside and locate a server. Got seated in a corner where there shouldn’t really be a table, as my wife was continuously bumped into by staff and customers alike. Our server was not very friendly, and when my wife asked her to add bacon a few minutes after we placed our order, she dropped it off shortly after by itself, which was not ideal, as she wanted it with her meal, not as an appetizer. The food itself was quick and tasty, however, if you’re looking for a place to have conversation, this may not be for you! It was quite loud but eclectically decorated. Loved to see the pride flag!

Leaf is a charming, pure vegetarian restaurant in Boulder that focuses on fresh ingredients and a diverse menu. It is a small, quaint cafe with a comfy and inviting vibe, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. We started with the Wild Mushroom Arancini, which had a wonderfully creamy texture, with deep, earthy flavors from the mushrooms, making for a rich and satisfying bite. The Yaki Onigiri, however, didn’t quite hit the mark. The Kale Salad with Harissa Tofu was a refreshing dish, offering a nice balance of textures and flavors. The tofu had a good spice level from the harissa, and the kale provided a hearty, nutritious base. Moving on to the mains, the Thai Green Curry was well-balanced in flavor, with a creamy, fragrant broth. However, the Spaghetti that came with it, felt a bit dry.The Orange Cauliflower was not so good, the flavors were all over the place, with the rice and base being overly salty. On the bright side, the drinks were enjoyable, and the meal ended on a high note with the Carrot Cake. The dessert was moist, spiced just right, and topped with a luscious frosting. Leaf is a solid spot, but some dishes did feel underwhelming. The portion sizes are generous, making it a good value overall. If you are looking for a creative vegetarian meal with a lovely vibe, it’s worth a visit.

The concept of an entirely-vegan restaurant sounded like a dream when we found this place online as soon as we landed in Colorado. This is the best restaurant I have been to, vegan or not. Ambiance is incredibly aesthetic yet not overdone. Service was incredibly fast and kind, and they took the time to explain the dishes. No food was left on the table when we were done. 100% recommend.

The food was good, but they didn't have what we wanted on 2 different occasions (and we only went twice) the Jamaican jerk Tempeh was a bit much in flavor, but not in amount. Definitely left hungry. The Tuscan garden I didn't get a pic of but that was probably my favorite.

Lindsay's Boulder Deli @ Haagen Dazs is a popular counter-service chain known for its delicious ice cream, sorbet, sundaes, shakes, and smoothies. The owner's journey in the restaurant industry began at her father's ice cream shop, and her passion eventually led her to open this delightful deli in Boulder. Visitors can indulge in a variety of sweet treats such as ice cream cakes and milkshakes.
Perusing on Pearl Street I worked up quite the appetite. Grateful that there was a grilled cheese & soup option. I’ve had a taste for a grilled cheese sandwich since my best bud had a grilled cheese bday party and I missed the grilled cheese making part! The sweet potato curry soup was especially delicious! I love dipping grilled cheese in soup. 😋 I think I may have met the owner 🤷🏾‍♀️ not sure but I really enjoyed their energy! I’d absolutely positively eat here again!

This place is really cozy and has a great local ambiance to it. I got the hotdogs for a total of 6.99 before tip. This was my hot dog. I essentially paid for a large warm (but fluffy bun) and minimal dog. I think of the total volume, 1/7 of it was hot dog… I didn’t even taste much hot dog, every bite was bread. I personally am disappointed to spend $7+ for warm bun and relish. Bun was fluffy and warm with a light crunch though, can’t speak on anything else, as all I tasted was bun.

They have a huge menu-soups, salads, breakfast, vegetarian options-so there’s something for everyone. It’s a great space with friendly service. I went with the Italian Stallion because I was missing the sandwiches back in NJ. It was good but not a replacement for the real deal.

Was in Boulder with my daughter for a CU admitted student event. Very close to campus and parking was easy to find on side streets just a few blocks away. Great menu options and even a quick grab-n-go section too! I was offered a sample of their homemade sweet potato curry soup and it was amazing! I ended up ordering a cup with my BLT on sourdough. So good! My daughter had the buffalo chicken sandwich and she ate every last bite! That never happens :) Atmosphere was great and owner was super friendly and providing great suggestions on selections. I was a little sad I didn’t get to sit in the hand so I’ll definitely have to come back and try that out. It was still nice to have a front row window seat of Pearl Street. If you are in Boulder and want goos food with a friendly vibe, definitely check this place out!

The employees here are always so happy to greet me when I come in. I'm gluten free and they have the best gluten-free sandwiches! I don't know what kind of bread they use but they know how to do it right. Love the sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches and today I got the TBA. Absolutely delicious! If you're down town on Pearl Street, this is a must stop for a perfect sandwich.

The sandwich selection is wide/unique & the flavors all mix so well. The free samples enticed me to get the macaroni salad. The manager was so helpful & sweet as can be. ONLY complaint(I’m so sorry) was that the only music that played for the hour I spent here.. was Taylor Swift. Only T Swift. Absolute bangers. But it was a bit much. I’m so sorry. But I need to warn the public.

This place has become a major disappointment. My crepe with egg, cheese, and potato contained chunks of French fries instead of potatoes, and the egg inside was raw. When I asked the waiter if it was supposed to be raw, he said, "It’s supposed to be over easy," and walked away. I enjoy eggs cooked over easy, but this one wasn’t cooked at all. They used to serve crepes with a side of cooked potatoes, but now they cut corners and use French fries instead. Their “salad” is just iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing, served in a plastic container. Everything here seems premade, and the salad resembles something you’d get on an airline. The other crepe had chunks of ham that were clearly of the lowest quality. I left after hardly eating any food, which rarely happens. They’ve also reduced staff, and now you have to order your food at a counter. You’re asked to tip on the screen before receiving any food or service, and on top of that, they tack on a credit card fee. This place is very expensive for what you get and is nothing like the food quality in France.

The space features plush velvet seating, elegant lighting, and marble countertops, creating a refined atmosphere. With eight restaurant concepts including Italian, Middle Eastern, Thai, and a patisserie for delectable desserts, it serves as a culinary incubator for promising chefs.
Hands down my favorite place in Colorado to grab a drink and some food. I've been here a half dozen times or so because I'm never in Boulder... but every time I'm in town I make sure to come here. I love the international influenced food options in each individual "stand" and the liquor selection is amazing. As a whiskey drinker I have so many options. The rooftop has lounging beds, another bar, and little fireplaces too. I found the night life in this place especially on Friday/Saturday to be amazing. Lots of fun people, excitement, and great ambience. Ohhhh... and I experienced a first here in my life. Genderless bathrooms. Walking in after a few drinks and seeing ladies fixing themselves at the mirror made me instantly feel like a perv that walked into the wrong bathroom. I did a triple take of the bathroom sign before I realized it's for everyone. Absolute perfection. Keep doing what you're doing Rosetta Hall.

Rosetta Hall is a charming and aesthetically pleasing venue, offering a unique and inviting atmosphere. The concept behind the space is thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and welcoming environment that enhances the overall dining experience. The food options are diverse and impressive, with a broad selection that spans across various cuisines, including Asian, American, and Latin-inspired dishes. Each dish is crafted with attention to detail, delivering an exceptional blend of flavors that are sure to satisfy a range of tastes. However, while the culinary offerings were undeniably outstanding, the service did not fully meet the same high standard. For instance, when we ordered a Sprite, it was notably flat and lacked the refreshing effervescence one would expect. Additionally, the water served was lukewarm, which detracted from the overall experience. While these service-related issues were minor, they did impact what could have been a more seamless dining experience. In summary, while Rosetta Hall offers an incredible variety of delicious food in an aesthetically captivating space, there is room for improvement in the service and beverage quality to match the excellence of the culinary offerings.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dessert experience, look no further than Nothing Bundt Cakes. This charming bakery chain specializes in an array of bundt cakes that cater to every occasion, from bite-sized treats to impressive tiered creations. With flavors like red velvet, Italian cream, and rich chocolate, each cake is not only gluten-free but also incredibly moist and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere at Nothing Bundt Cakes is as inviting as their desserts.

Disappointing Customer Service Experience I’ve been a loyal customer, frequently buying Bundt cakes for clients, events, and parties, spending hundreds of dollars at this location. However, my recent visit left me incredibly disappointed. After purchasing six cakes, I realized I had misread a text and needed to swap one flavor. The cashier was in the process of helping me out when the manager, Addison, rushed from the back to stop the exchange. I was told this was a “training moment” and that swapping a cake was against policy. While I understand enforcing policies, the situation was handled poorly. Addison's condescending tone and unnecessary comment about me possibly "spitting on the cake and bringing it back" were completely uncalled for—especially considering I had stepped outside for mere seconds and hadn’t even reached my car. Training moment for the staff: The proper approach would have been to explain the policy politely and let it slide this time as a courtesy. Instead, I was treated disrespectfully over a $6 cake, despite the fact that the cakes are individually sealed and hadn’t been tampered with. This lack of respect and unnecessary escalation has lost you a loyal customer. Corporate policies should include treating customers with dignity and respect, and I hope this feedback serves as a wake-up call to prioritize customer service in the future.

Amy is so sweet and so easy to work with. She literally goes above and beyond. I called in today to get some help delivering a cake to my brother and sister-in-law, to congratulate them on their home closing. She not only made it happen, but knew exactly what I was looking for and took a personal detour just to make sure the cake got delivered on her way home. That said, their cakes are also amazing! I’m pretty picky when it comes to cake. If it’s good cake, I’m a big fan, but if it’s not, I likely won’t eat it. Every time we’ve had their cake, it’s always been a favorite. Any flavor, you can’t go wrong. I’d highly recommend.

This is a review for the NYC Pizzeria. This pizza is (intentionally) overcooked. The outer crust is burnt. The bottom crust isn’t much better. NY style pizza is supposed to fold nicely with a tiny bit of flop, but this pizza cracks in half when folded. I’m personally not a fan of crunchy pizza… I recommend Crosscut in Nederland. Not necessarily NY style, but way better pizza and the view is fantastic. On a positive note, the staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is cool and the price is fair for Boulder I guess.

Gemini is a charming Spanish restaurant located on Pearl Street, Boulder, founded by twin sisters Catherine and Elizabeth Neckes along with their husbands. The restaurant's chef, Brian Pierce, brings his experience from working in renowned New York City restaurants to create a menu inspired by Barcelona and San Sebastian. The cozy interior and warm ambiance make guests feel at home, whether they're enjoying casual dining or celebrating special occasions.
Tasty tapas and wonderful service! The restaurant is cozy, with a variety of high and low tables, even some that have a view of the open kitchen. Our server, Kyle, took great care of us - from walking us through suggested menu options to making sure the flow of service was seamless, he didn’t miss a beat. The menu offered a variety of flavors that all complimented one another. We left feeling full after sharing 5 smaller dishes and a dessert. If you don’t like to share, they have several options that are “entree portions”. The restaurant is easy to access on Pearl St, with indoor and outdoor seating, weather permitting. Upon receiving our check, we were given a post card with the restaurant’s logo - very nice touch!

I love my experience here accenting my first time being in Boulder CO. Such a beautiful town with exceptional bars. Sat myself at the bar at Gemini and asked the bartender for a scofflaw, my favorite drink, and he didn't know what it was. I showed him how to make one and the one he made was one of the best I've tried so far. I tried one of their tapas, the bacon wrapped dates with whipped goat cheese. It was heavenly albeit being too sweet for my taste. I blamed the natural sugar in the dates. Overall, Gemini is a must-visit when you walk the mall of Pearl Street, Boulder CO.

We travel a lot and usually stay at nice hotels, but our recent stay at the St. Julien in Boulder was truly exceptional. The location is hard to beat and the overall feel of the hotel is spot on. Our room was spacious, very comfortable, and had some of the best bedding we’ve experienced. Even the toiletries were a nice surprise. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, with food that was beautifully prepared and service to match. What set the St. Julien apart most, though, was the staff. Every person we interacted with — from the reception desk to the restaurant team — was friendly, professional, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. It gave the hotel a warmth that’s rare even in luxury properties.

Way over priced! 835 for a basic 2 Queen bed room, coffee cups were left dirty, some areas are showing old wear. After a night out we went into the hotel lobby bar. We asked A young man behind the bar if we could order a drink and he said “yeah the line is down there” pointed - very rudely when we finally got our cocktail had two sips of it a Manager looking guy in a suit, came right over to our table right in our face at 10 till midnight they were closing and we needed to “get out” and two more men Followed up right one after another before we even had a chance to grab our coats off the back of the chairs telling us to leave. We were just two ladies from Denver sitting there having a drink. We didn’t even have a chance to stand up before the next guy showed up. They were extremely rude and with all of that my friend left her very expensive leather jacket on the chair and the staff and hotel say it was not there. One of them had to have taken it because we were all kicked out. I do not recommend this place. The only thing it’s good for is convenience to Pearl Street. There are other new hotels opening up. Give them a try.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! We were in Colorado on our honeymoon and unfortunately had a horrible experience at an Airbnb that forced us to leave. We found this hotel online, walked in to check it out, and were immediately welcomed at the front desk. AD and Amber were absolutely INCREDIBLE—so kind, helpful, and empathetic about our situation. They even arranged an early check-in and upgraded our room, which meant so much to us. Beyond the amazing staff, the hotel itself was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable, and everyone we encountered was so friendly. The location is perfect too—just steps from Pearl Street with easy access to great restaurants and shops. Truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had, and we’re so grateful we ended up here during such a special trip. Highly, highly recommend!

I finally found my hair stylist guru at the st. Julien spa, Travis Tanner does exceptional work. He worked with me several times to dial in my wedding hair look. He was extremely helpful, guiding me in sourcing the right quality hair extensions, setting and styling them in my hair so i could get used to wearing them before my wedding day. He was so knowledgeable, patient and sweet through this whole process. Highly recommend him for a color, cut, style, you name it and generally just as a high quality human being.

My favorite hotel in Boulder! Location is unbeatable, the crowd in the lobby is pleasant and they typically have live music on weekends. The martinis are good and just feels like a lively place. The amenities are nice with the hot tub and lap pool. You can get drink service to the pool area and the bathrobes are comfortable. Best OG places to stay in Boulder!

Came here for a work meeting and the rooms, service and amenities were awesome. My favorite part was the pool and hot tub. However the pool was not completely accessible as it was difficult to get in and out with the limitations I have. The hot tub was amazing and was more accessible. I loved the bed and the pillows. There was quite a bit of noise with a rude guest in the middle of the night, but that was no fault of the hotel.

We're heading back out to Boulder to 'help' our daughter move into her college apartment for the fall, but the real reason for going is really to get to spend a few night at the St Julian. We stayed there several time during her first year at CU, and we love our little luxury vacations in Boulder. St Julian is fun, clean, friendly, and right in the middle of it all. The rooms as spacious with amazing views, the food and drinks (and entertainment) are great quality, and of course having the spa right there is a big bonus. Staying at the St Julian has made the transition of having our daughter attend CU far away from home a treat for us all - we feel welcome and comfortable.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this Coldstone location!!! Last night the tables outside were covered with ice cream drips. When I asked the employees, two high school girls, they said they would come out and wipe them off. They never did for the 30 minutes we were there; even though there was no one in line inside! When I requested to wash my hands to remove the ice cream drips, the employee stated the bathroom was out of order. Based on other reviews, the bathroom "out of order" appears to be a permanent condition. I've been "spoiled" by Sweet Cow's two Boulder locations where the facility is clean, the bathrooms are clean and working and the employees provide excellent customer service. Let's all "vote with our feet" and send a clear message to this Coldstone franchise owner.

Heaven Creamery Boulder offers a delightful ice cream experience with a wide range of flavors to choose from. The shop's atmosphere is charming, featuring cute cloud-painted floors. Customers can enjoy delicious options such as mocha and chocolate ice cream, along with vegan gelato made from coconut milk. The attention to detail and variety of offerings make it an excellent choice for those seeking sweet treats, including options for vegans and those with gluten-free preferences.
We already loved Heaven creamery. Having visited other locations, we love that their ice cream is lower sugar and made with the highest quality ingredients. When we moved to Boulder, of course we were naturally drawn to it because of the brand but this location is definitely the best! The service is warm and friendly and their ice cream is somehow even better. Their strawberry cheesecake ice cream is seriously the best I've ever had and my personal all time favorite but honestly you can close your eyes and pick one randomly and it will always be your new favorite! They also make incredible ice cream desserts like this warm brownie a la mode with butter pecan!

Incredible selection, outstanding service, and truly heavenly ice cream My wife and I were visiting family in Boulder and made it our mission to beat the heat with the best ice cream we could find. After trying three different spots, we finally landed here and the name couldn’t be more fitting: true ice cream heaven. We were blown away by not only the quality of the ice cream but also the kindness and passion of the staff. We had a great conversation with one of the team members who was clearly proud of their craft. He even offered us a sneak preview sample of a flavor he was working on for the next day. The selection is fun and creative, and every flavor we tried was packed with rich, balanced flavor. You can tell they care about what they’re serving. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Easily our favorite stop of the weekend. Thanks for giving us great ice cream and awesome experience!

A candy store that's so much more. I go here for the assorted varieties of taffy. They have some unique flavors, a wide assortment, and it's ALWAYS fresh. It's reminiscent of the bulk candy stores I loved to visit when I was young. There's also a large assortment of international and novelty candies and shelf after shelf of soda pop--with some interesting varieties. Don't want candy? Check out the novelty gifts like tin lunch boxes, posters, and toys. It's a great place to find a unique gift. They do sell some standard fare (i.e. skittles) but you're much better off saving those purchases for the grocery store as they are a lot more expensive here. Stick with the candies you can't find anywhere else. Prices are a little high, but hey, it's Pearl St. in Boulder. The friendly customer service at check out will make you forget how much money you just dropped.

They were also inconsistent with delivering drinks to tables –sometimes they called out names and other times they brought the drinks to the person.

I really want to give this place 5 stars, but they have a business practice that has stuck in my craw for some time now. So I just bought a large juice, which is $13.25 (I know, I know) and it rings up for $16.01. There is no sign on the counter, nothing on the payment screen, no breakdown of charges that allows you to see or know why you’re paying more than 20% more than the listed price. I suspect most people miss it. It is in fact an additional charge to handle staff expense - something I’m a fan of, and ZoeMaMa across the street handles beautifully imho - WHEN IT IS DISCLOSED, SOMEWHERE. They also have the payment screen set to request a tip, which again I suspect many folks use without realizing they’ve already paid an additional ~12%. I am all for any charges that a business wants to add, particularly to help employees, when it is reasonably disclosed to the customer. It’s really disappointing to see a prominent business on Pearl St not living up to that disclosure standard.

I've been hearing about this place from my daughter since the beginning of 2024 because she enjoyed (and still enjoys) coming here during the school year. Recently, on 24 and 26 Aug 2024, I had the opportunity to try this boba shop with my daughter since I was in the area to help her move into her dorm. When we walked in on both days, the shop wasn't busy at all which enabled me to take some time and look at the menus. The service was a little slow on both days which was a little alarming considering the customers in the facility were minimal. To be fair, the business doesn't seem to have that many employees working there to begin with because on the 24 Aug visit, there were two employees up front, and one of them was new. Also, on the 26 Aug visit, there was only one employee working up front (cashier and food/drink preparer). On the other hand, the employees are very friendly which is always pivotal from a customer service standpoint. For both visits, we ordered the Peach Green Tea w/Boba, Lychee Black Tea w/Boba, Chicken Potstickers, and Rice Cake Skewers. The drinks were outstanding, hands-down! The boba flavor and texture was amazing and perfect. I've had a lot of various style potstickers, gyoza, mandu, dumplings in my lifetime and I can't say that the ones here rank in the top 10 of my all-time favorites. However, the potstickers were still good and definitely hit the spot (especially since we were hungry). The prices here are reasonable - I was glad to see that this business doesn't increase their prices to prey on college students. Then again, there's always that perception that college students don't have money and only live off of ramen and Hot Pockets...so maybe that's why the prices at this shop are respectable? The décor was nice but the atmosphere wasn't necessarily inviting - it felt gloomy in there for some reason. Also, I hope the business fixes the entrance door because due to oblivious customers, the door would either shut hard, or stay open after someone leaves the shop (I guess people think that all business doors are self-closing). Overall, I like this boba shop; one star shy of actually "loving" this business. I know for a fact that my daughter will continually visit this boba shop so I hope this business stays open for the long run. Highly recommend this business to everyone!

Honestly, this is one of the best coffee shops in Boulder. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, with a beautiful Scandinavian theme that instantly reminds me of Norway. The coffee is incredible—especially the Vanilla, Burnt Honey + Cinnamon Latte. It’s so good, I get it every time I visit! The pastries are just as impressive. They always look amazing, and I’m tempted every single time.

On the bright side: Coffee is pretty good, my latte was not too sweet and they do free milk substitutes for the lactose challenged. A bit on the pricier side. BUT The London fog cake we ordered was a huge let down. We did not finish it. It was extremely dense and dry and almost bready, and the flavor of the black tea didn’t even come through because of the milk chocolate frosting overshadowing it. The flavors were not complimentary & the texture was not right. Cure atmosphere. I’d probably try it again for the coffee at some point to give it a second chance, but overall not near as good as the price should dictate & the cake was a total waste of money.

The olive oil cake was fine but the carrot cake was very dry - felt like it was from the day before but maybe not - and in my opinion had way too many currants. From what I've read, even Danish carrot cake should have a cream cheese frosting but this cake had a hard white icing that would normally be on a cookie. The drinks were fine. Staff were a bit cool and abrupt in their descriptions and overall assistance. Overall not my kind of place, which is too bad because the setting is really nice, just off Pearl street in a cute house.

London fog cake is the driest cake I’ve ever had and you could taste it had been previously refrigerated so not baked fresh that day but chocolate ganache buttercream on top was nice, cardamom bun was hard and hardly a hint of cardamom, frangipane tart was ok - tart crust lacked rich buttery flavor and was somewhat soggy and actually filling also lacked almond flavor of a rich frangipane . The salmon smorrebrod was not worth it at all and took forever to get even though it involves zero actual cooking! Honestly, would only come here for coffee which was good and the cute ambiance.

The avocado toast is served cold, which was a bit different from what I’m used to, but it was actually delicious. I also ordered two slices of cake — one orange and one vanilla with chocolate — and unfortunately, they weren’t very good. They were extremely dry. I’m not sure if it was just a one-time thing, but I’d still like to come back one day and give the place another chance. :)

I've lived in Boulder my whole life, and I cannot say enough good things about this cozy cottage coffee shop. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed not just as a customer, but as apart of something truly special. The atmosphere is warm, intentional, and full of heart. Just take a look around at all of the hand selected goods that they carry, and the local art in the shop. Everything is done with intention here. If you get the chance to meet the barista's and owners, you're in for a treat. Andrea, the insanely talented chef and owner, is a powerhouse of creativity, sass, and kindness. She brings a soulful, magnetic energy to the space that makes you feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be--and if you're on this patio, you really are. Conversations with her always leave me reignited with my own spark. And let’s talk about the pastries—OH MY GOD. They are hands-down the best in Boulder (and honestly, some of the best I’ve had anywhere). Her family's shortbreads are unlike anything you've ever had, and when I say you can taste the love, you really can. And if you can get your hands on a Chai olive oil cake before they sell out, you better go for it. This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a full-on experience, and one that should be at the top of your list not just when visiting Boulder, but when visiting Colorado.

Had mango and strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a cup combination: Flavor - 5 stars Creaminess: 5 stars Sweetness: 5 stars, not too much for me or maybe because our group had mex. food. But really good for me! Free Taste Test corner which was outside the store, good idea. Made me get the mango!

Edible Arrangements is a gift shop where they sell gourmet fresh fruit, dipped in chocolate. This gift shop is especially popular as weddings presents, but who says that you can't give it to yourself? The high quality of the chocolate and strawberries together make this a unique and delicious gift.
This review is directed toward Courtney, a new employee of Edible Arrangements. Thank you for delivering my specialized order with all of my requests accounted for. Actually, they were exceeded and you fulfilled my order within the given timeframe. My friend was blown away by the care and artistry you implemented into the design. The rest of the department was very jealous of her gift (which she was very possessive about after seeing it).

I want to warn anyone who orders from this store to BEWARE. On 12-13-22 I ordered a gift for my mother to be delivered 12-24-22 to her home. My credit card was immediately charged. The delivery was never made. I tried to use the tracking number and got a recording that my order had been submitted but it couldn't be tracked. I called the store for a week and a half, never was able to talk to a person so left my name, number, order number and phone number. No one contacted me. I went to the web page for the whole company and filled out complaint. They said they would get on it and get back to me in 48 hours. Nothing. On the 6th of January I got an email that my order had been cancelled. No explanation, no apology...nothing. There is no option for "no star" so had to go one star to post; what a joke!

I ordered an arrangement for Easter to be delivered on 4/16. Got security video of the arrangement being dropped at the front door. Spilled half of it on the ground and left it. Got an email saying the delivery was successful. The delivery person just left the mess and said nothing. I called the shop on Monday and spoke to Kelsy. She said she is the manager and offered to deliver another arrangement but I just wanted my $70 refunded which they did. I am just upset that the delivery person just left the mess and nobody reached out about it. He could have cleaned it up and took it back and then contacted me about it but thought it was ok to leave a mess and then report that the delivery was successful. Horrible. I won't be doing business with them again. The reviews speak for themselves

My arrangement did not arrive until after 6 pm. To a BUSINESS address. I called the store at 4:24 pm since I had not received delivery notification and the young woman on the phone did not seem concerned. I let her know the recipient works til 5, to which I got no response. This is the second time I have used edible arrangements and the second time I’ve had delivery issues. Maybe the people hired at the franchises are not following the corporate business model, I can’t imagine heading out after 4 pm with deliveries to businesses is what corporate had in mind. If I was planning to do business with the company again I might contact them next. But nah, 2 strikes. I’m done.

Terrible! Do not do business with this company. I had three things on my order and only one thing was delivered. The personalized card and the balloon we're not received. The person had no idea who it came from. And the personalized card was the best part of the whole thing I even uploaded a picture. I called to get a refund on those items and no one so much as even apologized. They don't care at all about your order.

I ordered an arrangement with balloons and extra chocolates for my husband for his birthday. I ordered 48 hours in advance. I called our local store the morning of the delivery to ask about the expected time of delivery because he was going to only be at the office within a certain smaller time frame (not 9-5). The request was noted and they delivered within that time frame. I was and am very appreciative of that customer service.

Erhard's European Bakery is a delightful gem that transports you straight to the heart of Europe with its authentic pastries and tarts. This charming café offers an array of freshly baked goods, including award-winning apple strudel and rich chocolate mousse, all crafted by a warm couple who pour their passion into every creation. The bakery features outdoor seating, making it perfect for enjoying your treats in the fresh air.
One of the few European style cafes in Boulder. They only take cash though

This is our favorite bakery in the area. My mom was from Germany and we visited there often -- the pastries here are authentic and remind me of the ones I've had there. The apple strudel is wonderful, as is everything else we have tried. We also highly recommend the veggie quiche. The couple who runs the bakery (and makes the products) are very sweet and helpful. Everything is made the same day so the selection is greater the earlier you go. Some items are every day while other specialty items rotate days.

This place is supposed to be a European type cafe/coffee shop. This is my fourth try to go there for a coffee and pastry between 3 and 4pm in the afternoon ...and they don't have coffee. And not even an apology from what seemed to be the owner that was right there. No Europen cafe is out of coffee by mid-afternoon unless you are a penny pincher or simply just don't care. Nowhere in Paris, Stuttgart, Munich, Tuebingen or Aalen. And it shouldn't be in Boulder, CO either. I'm not coming back and won't recommend to all my German and European friends !!!

Regrettably purchased a custom cake from here. It was supposed to be a Swedish "Princess cake." After agreeing on a very traditional version of this cake at the time of order, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that the final product had no food coloring at all and was the natural color of marzipan. While it shouldn't affect the taste of the cake, it is, in fact, part of the presentation and appeal. The baker was an older European man who was unapologetic and assigned the blame on me for not specifying that it be green. Unfortunately I paid for the expensive cake ($68+tax) and left as it was meant to be my wife's birthday cake. I won't be going here again and suggest that you avoid this place at all costs. I'm at a loss to explain why they were so rude.

The service was good and so was my coffee and Danish. I wish there were more things to choose from. Most of the goods were sold out. I can't give 5 stars though due to lack of cleanliness. The floor needs a good scrubbing ( I could see the track marks from the dirty mop they used) and the trash was way over due to be emptied. There were flies buzzing around. It was not busy, so there was time to take care of it. Also the door for the way to the bathroom was not well marked. It's a green door that says to stand clear. I'm not sure if I'll go back or not.

Dairy Queen (Treat) is a beloved fast-food destination that specializes in soft-serve ice cream and signature shakes, making it the perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. On a hot day, nothing beats indulging in their classic banana split or the gluten and dairy-free Dilly Bar, which has been tested for safety. The friendly staff always serve with a smile, ensuring you feel welcomed as you enjoy your treat.
This is a lovely Dairy Queen, as far as I 'm concerned. I've lived in the area for 20+ years and have never experienced any of the kinds of negative things I see here in the reviews. Especially under the most recent manager, I think they've done a great job of keeping the place tidy and friendly - and the ice cream is great! The manager even went out of his way to figure out how to remake a seasonal order for me (s'mores blizzard) without the traditional materials! What a sweetheart !! ❤️

I go in one evening and this blonde hair kid working has his friends show up. I'm waiting for my order and his 2 friends show up and say hey can we get 3 medium chocolate shakes. Sure, the blonde kid says "do you want to make them yourself"? This kid walks around the counter in his street clothes and starts making shakes. Unreal, with customers in the store not only is this an osha violation, this should never happen. I bet this kind of stuff happens often considering most of the workers seem to be college kids.

The website said open until 10pm, it was my Friend’s birthday and he just wanted a blizzard. 9:31pm my friend and I arrive at DQ and the doors were shut and locked on us after our 25 minutes of travel. I am a huge supporter of this establishment but to lie to customers about a closing time really just hurts. My friend’s birthday was ruined and instead of a blizzard he was forced to get a frosty from Wendy’s. This frosty was no blizzard and our night was ruined.

I normally buy cordial cherries every year in memory of my dad's favorite treat on his birthday. In the last few years, I've become much more sensitive to dairy and can no longer eat the ones I used to get. Lift has vegan cordial cherries! My fiancé called around, found Lift, and brought home a couple of boxes for me to enjoy. They are so beautiful and taste amazing! He told me about how wonderful his visit was and Lift has now become my favorite place! Thank you so much for offering dairy free chocolates! The strawberry cordials were also incredible!

I wandered into Lift while waiting for my car to be serviced at Sparta360 Nextdoor; I was extremely happy that I did. I tried some almond bark (dark and milk) which was delicious and walked out with a few chocolate bars and some Air Force medallions. All were devoured within 24 hours by my wife and kids. Even my 9 year old daughter who usually doesn’t like chocolate, loved both dark and milk chocolate bars. I will be back for future birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. We will be getting all of our chocolate from this quality, veteran-owned, local business. Thank you!

I love the story of this place and am thankful for the owner serving our country. That was the main reason we tried it. Outside of that, I am sad to say I was not impressed with the size and taste of the truffles for the price I paid. ($30 for 6 truffles no bigger than the circumference and the height of a quarter) Again, I am very thankful for the owner serving our country and am glad we tried it and were able to support a veteran owned company, but I was disappointed in the quality for the price and feel awful that I didn't like it.

I called to check out what ice cream cakes they had ready because I needed one for a birthday the next day. They had one I wanted that was the chocolate blizzard and the associate kindly said he would save it in the back for me. I asked if they could write something on it for me. He said "we do that when you pick it up Ma'am"; which makes sense. Until I pick it up the next day. I pay for it and ask, " Can someone please write on it for me?" He says " I am sorry, we can't do that. I don't write on cakes and the lady in the back isn't qualified. We have someone coming in at 4 pm that can do that." I don't buy ice cream cakes very often but after this happened, I remembered that it has happened before to our family. So for some reason, they don't want to write on your cake. It was a yummy cake with good customer service; but this is why this review isn't more stars and considering they have done it before, maybe it should be less.
