Bacon egg classic toast
Sara M.

On a nice day with a house guest, it seemed a perfect solution for a light but healthy breakfast before she went on a morning hike. They open early so there is time to eat and digest a bit before heading up to Chautauqua on foot for a 9 am start time. We all had a tasty and healthy light meal and a drink to go with it. I had a breakfast croissant and ordered only one egg to lighten it up. Most can eat the full order which has two. I also ordered a decaf cortado with oat milk which satisfied my morning tastebuds. My husband had the bacon egg toast and coffee and our guest had the granola fruit bowl and a classic latte. Everything was perfect for the day. Nice weather, sunny but not too hot, and tine enough to stroll up a few blocks with some energy to burn. The original location always is the perfect stop on the way to Chautauqua.

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.

Keto bowl
Mariya S.

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.

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.

Mocha

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!

Heirloom avocado toast
Rain Bow B.

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.

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!

I visited CO from NY... do you ship coffee beans and granola? Can’t stop thinking about how good it was! Thanks

Hey Katie, Thanks for reaching out! We can ship our coffee, but we do not ship the granola. We purchase our granola through Olde Man Granola. You can order it here:… 

Where's the burritos?

Very small menu, based on a limited category of offerings that fits their cafe kitchen size and stylistic emphasis. For example, you won't find asian offerings there either. Very cool place though.

Looooved our brunch at The Kitchen! We walked in with no reservation at around 11:30 and were able…read moreto snag a table right away. The space is cozy and bright. I loved the big chandeliers and brick wall. Our server, Skylar, was fantastic. She was personable, welcoming, and enhanced the entire dining experience. My friend and I started with the churro donuts to share. These were the perfect sweet treat (because who can have brunch without something sweet for the table?) It comes with a dulce de leche and a coffee anglaise that was so delicious. For my main I went with the fireside eggs. This was exceptional! Flavourful shakshuka with perfectly poached eggs, avocado and feta served alongside naan bread. This meal was comforting and delicious without being overly filling. I can't recommend The Kitchen enough! If I'm ever back in Boulder I will definitely be back. I would love to try the lunch or dinner menu!

I came here for dinner with my husband for a work dinner and our party had seven people total. The Kitchen had a modern and rustic feel to it and the server was quick to show us to our table once our party arrived. We weren't really sure where to start, so a server recommended a few dishes for us to share and everyone ended up picking 1-3 dishes each. We started with a few appetizers: carrots which were slow roasted until they were tender and served on a bed of fluffy, whipped feta, crispy cauliflower which was fried until the exterior was nice and crunchy and served alongside tender carrots and a sweet tamarind chutney. My husband ordered a rigatoni which doused in a fresh bolognese, slices of parmesan, and fragrant herbs. We also had scallops as per the waiter's recommendation, but we were disappointed when only two scallops came out. It would have been nice if the waiter had mentioned that there would only be two scallops served, especially knowing that our party had 7 people. We also had crab fried rice, which I wasn't much of a fan of due to the saltiness of the dish. I ended up ordering the trout, which seemed to be a favorite around the table because of the crispiness of the skin. The sweetness of the candied pine nut crumble contrasted so nicely with the fish and the creaminess of the dashi yogurt paired well with everything. We also ordered a few meat dishes: pork belly which was incredibly fatty and tender and had a sweetness due to the brown sugar curing, espresso-rubbed wagyu skirt steak which ended up being fairly disappointing to everyone (the marbling of the wagyu steak wasn't quite as rich and fatty as I'd expect for a wagyu), and a double-cut pork chop, which was also incredibly tender and delicious. We also ordered a side of fries and everyone was so surprised by how large and thick the fries were, although it wasn't too different from other fries you could order elsewhere. It was a fun and interesting experience eating here, although I'm not sure I'd recommend it as it's rather pricey. It's fun to eat with a large party, though. The service can also be incredibly slow. It took a while for us to get the check or to flag down staff to inquire about the menu. We also had to fill our own water, which was a little disappointing considering the price point of the restaurant.
