    Golden Chai Latte
    Indiana L.

    We visited for lunch and sampled several dishes, all of which were delicious. I ordered the Golden Chai Latte, along with a breakfast croissant and a ham and Gruyère melt, and everything was outstanding. The service was excellent, and the cozy atmosphere made the place feel very welcoming. It's easy to see why this spot gets so busy, and I will definitely be returning soon.

    Not a 16oz latte
    Doug B.

    The barista is too busy talking to the cashier to care but this isn't even close to the 16oz I paid for.

    Keto bowl

    Very cute place with a very cute vibe. I loved the food, good coffee, I loved the outdoor patio.

    Croissant Sandwich
    Michael H.

    App ordering & online ordering work seamlessly (but doesn't take Apple Pay)- for that you have to go inside. Cool white and black tile floors with marble counters reminds me of a French cafe. Croissant sandwich is delicious (although you can tell the croissant itself isn't great when compared to other places like Jeannot's). Happy we stopped here before a hike. If I lived here I would definitely return.

    Found this coffee shop on Yelp & what a cute little place! Loved that there were big windows with beautiful views of the mountains. The coffee was delicious, it has that tangy taste that I love. The breakfast was also delish. I loved that my brioche sandwich was made with boiled eggs, very different but so yum! Anytime I'm back in this area, I will be returning!

    Iced Matcha and quinoa salad bowl
    Rudy L.

    Nice little cafe, kind small and with it being super packed made it feel a little cramped. Sat outside and enjoyed the patio seating! Quinoa salad bowl was good not best I've ever tasted but definitely top 10. Good spot try it when in Boulder!

    Heirloom avocado toast
    Rain Bow T.

    Would I say it's the best cup of joe in the city-no. Would I say it's a great vibe and well designed for studying or social gathers-sure. The patio is great but the inside is a little stuffy. They have massive table in the middle which might be good for study groups but not much else. The food was pretty looking but lack lust in taste. I had a London fog to drink and I did like that. I love that it's local owned and close to campus for ease of access.

    High quality ingredients. Friendly staff. Great coffee. And I got to pet a Great Dane.

    Blueberry ricotta toast
    Ari F.

    Cute cafe. Perfect fresh tasting food. Variety of coffees and teas. Friendly staff. Fair pricing for quality food and presentation

    Toast
    Rae S.

    Such a cute neighborhood coffee shop with hood east quick eats! We tried (4) different toasts: Burrata Toast Classic Avocado Toast Prosciutto Toast Blueberry Ricotta toast I listed them in order of my preference but they were all hands down incredible!!! I'm just in particular not a sweets girl so the berry one wasn't as incredible. I also normally am not crazy about pesto so would have normally not ordered the burrata toast but oh my this was by far my FAVORITE ONE! The pesto is not over powering and the ingredients compliment so well.

    I feel like Alpine is getting great again. Amazing environment, especially the location in Chautauqua, and the staff are super friendly, food looks good (haven't tried recently). I do hope they consider bringing in some local / higher quality pastries, but it's not a dealbreaker.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Boulder. The coffees and teas are on point and don't miss the food... Everything I've had there has been really good! I had a smoked salmon and avocado sandwich, which was delicious and the bread was really really wonderful.

It was honestly some of the best tasting, perfectly charred carrots I've ever had. Even though our table shared a variety of dishes, which included the ceviche, gnocchi, rigatoni, mussels, the carrots were still #1! We also had their special tomahawk steak which was cooked fantastically and to our liking (medium rare). Great service too and our server was super helpful in recommendations for both food and drinks. However, everything was definitely quite pricey for what we got. Though every ounce of food was delicious and top quality, the meal was definitely a splurge and more of a once-in-awhile treat.

As for the beer, they had 18 to choose from including two gluten free options. I could decide so I went with a beer flight which allowed me to sample several in my typical range of beers. Definitely would come back and recommend to anyone making stop in Boulder.

Luckily we found street parking so that was easy too. It's a cash only restaurant (or local personal checks) and while it wasn't a problem, we had cash, we probably wouldn't have come here had we known that beforehand. Credit card sales shouldn't be the consumers issue.

These guys definitely pride themselves on their quality ingredients and it definitely showed. It is one of the best tasting burgers I've had in a while and left me feeling like I had a good hearty meal. The part that stood out the most to me interestingly enough was the cheese on the burger. I've had my fair share of cheeseburgers, but I think this is the first one where I acknowledged the cheese having an awesome flavor and actually bringing everything together and adding a great flavor to it. I thought the fries were very good too. Bonus points for beef tallow. Overall a good meal and left full and happy. A fair value definitely for Boulder, but was starting to push it with a burger and fries being $20. And that didn't include a drink. So you're getting up there in price if you do anything further, especially for a burger and fries. Would recommend and would return.

The restaurant itself is nice, clean, and customer service is friendly. However, the menu is al-a-cartè, and expensive, including sauce! Have you ever seen a fast food, or any restaurant for that matter, charge for sauce??? Oh well, we're here, so we tried it anyway. The burgers were loaded with salt, almost inedible, yet the fries had none. Although the fries make up for the lack of salt by being over-soaked in grease. I get it, it's fast food, I didn't expect a gourmet burger; although for the $45 we spent on 2 burgers, a fry, and a shake, it should be! I recommend McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy's, if fast food burger is what you want. They taste better, and are a heck of a lot cheaper than Wld Pastures.

Well, it is as long as you're not Black. I have been coming to this place since it opened. My relationship with Black Belly has lasted longer than my last marriage and would probably have lasted longer than what will be my subsequent marriage and maybe the one after that... but unfortunately, it has to go the way of those men! Last night, I stopped in for just a simple espresso martini so that I could stay awake for planned festivities... everything was fine, but one of the bartenders did give me a really nasty look when I sat in front of him. Now this is a shame because this is actually a fellow person of color and being that I am part Asian, Blasian on my mother's side: what I'm about to describe really does not sit well with me specifically. As I was going to leave, he mockingly asked if I changed my mind and wanted another. Or, after talking about how he has this roommate who only likes chicken fingers to other customers with disdain for said roommate's unrefined palate, told me he could instead get me some chicken fingers from the back while literally cackling AT me.... ?! Excuse me? So, I won't say how I responded, but it was appropriate and I immediately walked out, and I don't know how it could ever be made up to me to walk back in... Mocking a Black woman to her face and asking her if she wants some fried chicken from the back?! Wtf!!! I have had fine dining experiences all over the world certainly all over the state and the only other time I've experienced more egregious treatment was in Aspen: which I expect. To be clear, I have eaten at this location on more occasions than I can count as I have already expressed; that includes the front deli as well as the main dining room and at the bar. This assumption about my palate if meant innocently (it wasn't, the other bar patrons and bartender were visibly horrified!) was in poor taste at best. At worst, well... So get it together, Black Belly management. I also heard that your bartenders don't need to go to meetings? Maybe they should at the very least receive a little bit more training on basic professionalism! The food here is excellent. I couldn't bring myself to do one star; but, not worth macro racial aggression especially from a man! Major ick.
