Great local Amercian breakfast & coffee house. Always crowded on week-ends… but the line moves quickly. Check out the authentic daily mexican egg special.. nothing you can make at home. Take a risk! )

Best coffee house on the hill with big tables for doing work. Nice views. (There is also a Starbucks within a block but why bother).

Our go-to place for great burritos. Ignore the tattooed servers and you will LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. Usually we take out from here. Ambiance is NOT the thing.

Paleo people and other dietary conscious eaters will love this gluten free place. Their grass fed burgers are the best buyers in town… I think. Order at the counter.

Shopping
With so much ice cream in Boulder, thought I would cut through the confusion and suggest this place, whose LOCAL ice cream stands out above EVERYONE else's. They have great soup in winter as well.
