One of the best chai lattes I have had in a while. Really. The staff seems nice and the ambiance is great, with good views across the way. Happy to go back if I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Great coffee, terrible cups. Ordered an iced coffee and the cup collapsed in on itself while I put the top on, squirting almost 3/4 of the coffee up and all over myself. I cleaned it up, barista offered a new cup for my remaining 1/4 cup of coffee. No offer to remake it. read more

Tip: Keep walking past the tables and around the corner to get to the very comfortable and pretty red, black, and white leather chairs. Find actual print reading materials available there, too. My drip coffee with oat milk was delicious, as was my spinach, egg, and cheese burrito. The burrito was, I believe, cooked elsewhere and stocked at Amante, but the crisped the outside to perfection. Quite yum. A relaxing and tasty time at Amante. read more

This coffee shop serves your cafe staples and also has ice cream. I got a croissant roll and their house cafe au lait. They're good. They have a selection of tea and alcoholic drinks to choose from too. They also have breakfast quiches and burritos. The back corner provides a peaceful space to work your remote job. As a fellow remote worker I am always on the hunt for spaces I can be productive in. Amante is looking to be one of them. read more

Excellent Italian style espresso. I think the coffee is actually roasted in and imported from Italy. Rich in body, and almost syrup thick. The atmosphere here is very European industrial, with bright reds, stainless steel and a lit up wall of Italian liqueurs. I love that it feels so down to business while also sorta fun and classy. read more

Amante Coffee - a coffee maker on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

One of my favorites lattes I have had. It was really good. I ordered the egg nog latte with rum, which was AMAZING! Their customer service was really good since she recommended the drink and the drink was to the mark. We stopped their in Boulder and want to go back just for that drink again. Glad we supported the local coffee shop! We ordered cappuccino as well, which was just as good. They also had other holiday drinks such as PSL, Egg Nog Chai, and more. Highly recommend this place! read more

Amante Coffee - the interior of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This morning, my 2 sisters and I came in to get some work done. Initially, we were excited when we saw how spacious and inviting it felt. However, that feeling faded quickly when we were approached by an employee (the manager, I assume) and rudely told we needed to buy something or we would "have to go." To maximize our time, we got straight to work when we arrived. We were focused and working for about 30-45 minutes, with every intention to take a break to order some coffee. Right next to us, a white woman was sitting on her phone for at least as long. She was not approached or told anything. When I approached the counter, I wasn't acknowledged for about 2 minutes despite 2 employees being present. I ordered a couple items and proceeded to ask to talk to the employee who approached our table. I stated that I had some feedback and stated that I felt disrespected by the way we were approached. I also suggested that if there is a time limit before someone is expected to order, that should be clearly stated. I was told that "this isn't a library." An unfortunate reminder that if you are a person of color in Boulder, you have a 30 minute limit before you have to purchase your ability to be present at this coffee shop. However, if you're white, it seems there is no time limit for you. Enjoy. read more

Just paid $7 for a microwaved burrito, only to be informed that CenturyLink shut down their internet two days ago because some patron keeps using their network to download movies illegally via BitTorrent. This doesn't seem to be a problem for any other coffee shop in the Front Range. Very inconvenient for all the law abiding customers who are just trying to get some work done. read more

An update after my third time in... +1 star for fast wifi, another for nice seating and a third for delicious beverages. -1 for impolite baristas and another for ridiculous bathrooms that aren't very clean. There is always seating here in the vicinity of outlets and Amante offers a modern feel. It seems to be a common spot for people biking through, so if you're looking for a quiet place to concentrate, this probably isn't the spot for you. The restrooms have this ridiculous code on them, and the first time you try to figure it out you might think you're being observed for a social experiment in reading directions. It's mortifying, and if you sit near the restrooms you'll watch newbies fail 3-4 times before entering. The restrooms have a strange stench and are never very clean. At a place that serves food, I find this a little unsettling and I hope their standards behind the bar are higher. The baristas here never seem thrilled to help you out, it's a different story at the Baseline location. There are better coffee shops for studying in Boulder, but if you're looking to grab a coffee to go, their beverages are great. Just don't expect service with a smile. read more

Amante Coffee - My cappuccino was delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

One of the best coffee houses in Boulder I have yet to come across. The location is a bit out of the way, but the lighting and the windows make this an incredible place to do work, enjoy the morning paper, or stare at the hot guy across the barista bar. The vast amounts of seating options make this a great place visit any day of the week, as I usually am able to find a table all for myself without feeling like the only person in the entire shop. The pastries and food are scrumptious, and the European feel of the coffee shop make you realize some of the amenities that most coffee shops are missing... The taste of coffee. A cup of joe here is one of the best, and the crowd are true Boulderites... What does that mean? Bikes outside the coffee shop, messy haired men staring in a caring way at you, older women in their spandex bike shorts and dogs laying next to the window outside the coffee house waiting for their best friend . The baristas are talented and friendly, yet not too loud or distracting... Just right! * Star one for a great layout and design of a coffee house ** Yum yum to my tum tum for great tasting coffee every time ***I can see clearly now star three is for great natural lighting **** Travel bird star four is for a great European feel smack in the middle of the good US of A ***** Star five goes out to that messy haired guy who stares at you when you write in your journal... You are oddly sexy read more

Amante Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This place is fantastic. I work from home and regularly need to get out of the house for my sanity. Amante is my favorite place to work in Boulder insofar. The music isn't terribly loud, its always pleasant (love the classical) and most of the other people there are also working or if they are talking they're talking pretty quietly. They have sherpa chai which is my second love next to wine, as well as a good assortment of light snacks. Parking is easy and you can almost always find an unpaid spot. Staff is friendly and its very clean. 5 star work score. read more

Every time I've ordered chai(3 different times) it's tasted like water with a splash of milk... I'm not exaggerating I've had my fair share of watered down/ incorrectly brewed chais and they're whatever but these are on a whole nother level of "watered down" to the point I'd say it's just water no other flavors other than a little bit of milk read more

I go by here all the time and was a bit surprised I had not wrote about Amante previously. The service is always kind even very early in the morning and drinks are made like you want them. I really like their lattes. They are so smooth it's like drinking liquid silk .Cheers to Amante! read more

Fun place to go to catch up with friends, the patio seating is very large. Location is nice, in north Boulder, you can get a great view of the flatirons. I actually really liked the iced mocha I ordered the first time I went there. read more

Amante Coffee - Iced cafe mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Love coming here. Their coffee and pastries are very good. Like that they have so many tables outside spread apart for distancing. The employees are always nice, friendly, and helpful. Enjoy coming here every week, although I don't live in Boulder. read more

Great place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee! Great staff! I enjoy talking to the staff and catching up on some work or world events. I love how they have a range of pastries and gelato. I would suggest them adding some more fruit to the menu, maybe even some fruit smoothies would be amazing. You can even order a beer or have a nice glass of wine to wind down your day. What more could u ask for? read more

Amante Coffee - Amante - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Delicious Italian coffee for a price that's hard to beat. Definitely better than Starbucks. The staff is super friendly and the shop has a great atmosphere. read more

I still don't get what the trendoid bicycling crowds and other scenesters see in this place. Yes, I have experienced Amante, starting with the lst week it was open. The coffee tastes fine, that I'll give it. During the years I've lived in Boulder, I've come to loathe these see-and-be-seen scenester places. They do a good business. So the product they deliver must be quality, as Boulderites will not frequent a scene if the basic product is not of enduring quality, right? ;o) I, however, will not pay over $5 for a relatively weak latte drink when I can get a nice strong & flavorful latte drink less than a mile down the street at a place I find more pleasant for less than $3. I realize the rents are sky-high in the Holiday Neighborhood where Amante is located, so prices must reflect that. I also have observed that many businesses have already come and gone in this relatively new neighborhood, most likely due to the combination of jacked-up rents and lack of parking and foot-traffic. So it's wonderful that Amante appeals to the bicyclists who are on their way in and out of town. Just so you know....outdoorsy people, yuppie scenesters, climbers, CU and Naropa students, and people in tight-ass bike shorts are not the only citizens of Boulder. There are regular everyday people here too--not only that, but we buy things--all the time!! read more

Stopped by today and just felt like this place was dirty. There were dishes all over the place and where you doctor your drink up was dirty and I could barely reach the lids n thangs because they were up a bit high and far back. I had to lean against the dirty table top thing to get to them so I left with an unfaerielike feeling. My drink was yummy though. Also, the chickadees behind the counter were... out of sync. So I waited a bit. Not a biggie. read more

I would probably give this place 4 stars if only rating the taste of their coffee, but unfortunately because of the consistently rude staff, my review is so much less. Don't expect any sort of service here, all the staff acts like they have a stick up their ass. No hello, no thank you, no smile, you will only get a yes...with a what do you want... underlying tone and snotty facial expressions. And yes, you earn tips, you don't deserve them, especially not with that attitude. Unfortunately this place is conveniently located in my neighborhood but I go out of my way to get at least a hello with my coffee. And it's not just me, both my out of town friends and my boyfriend who never talks poorly about anything came to the same conclusion. read more

Good coffee, weird vibe. I got an iced almondmilk latte, and my sister got the sanctuary chai. She liked hers. I liked that mine didn't come with ice--hurts my teeth. read more

I walked into this coffee shop looking quite obviously bedraggled and sleep deprived. I ordered a large latte and when I picked it up on the other end, the barista gave me a knowing look and said, "An extra shot of espresso fell in there by accident." It was right then that I knew Amante was alright by me. This was described to me as the "less snobby Amante" and, while I've never been to the other one, I thought this place was pretty chill. Chill but crowded. It was pretty hard to find a seat and, as usual, there were way too many tables packed into the space. Which I've already stated is my biggest coffee shop pet peeve. If I ever find myself back in North Boulder again and in need of caffenation, I'll be sure to stop back here. read more

Boulder is great! Very diverse and mind blowing cultural side that most small towns don't dream about being bold like how Boulder is. Amante coffee was my friend's suggestion, since we spent the day wondering around and it was getting colder and colder. We were heading ourselves to Haagen Dazs when se spotted Amante, and that was great because I've never been there and it's quite a hidden gem. They don't just serve coffee... They do serve a great variety of coffee, their French pastries were good, we had a butter croissant which was perfect; flaky, buttery, and thousands of layers. The chocolate croissant was good too. Besides that, they do have a happy hour from 5-7 everyday if I'm not mistaken. read more

This place has it all, plus some awesome kick-ass extra bonuses: A liquor license with great drink specials on wine, beer, and hot spiked coffees When its a cold, rainy weekend afternoon and every other coffee shop in Boulder is packed to the brim with Macbooks and their owners, this place has plenty of room for me and my old PC. read more

Coffee is all right and a bit overpriced but I suppose the norm for "upscale" places like this. The baristas were polite for the most part but what bothered me as I was walking back to my car was the BLM sign posted on their window. I wish I had taken a picture but was taken aback by the wording on it. Its one thing to stand against racism of any kind but it was very unprofessional the kind of verbiage on the sign. (Paraphrasing what I saw) "Leave the racist bullshit outside and don't be bringing that negativity in here!" Most businesses I have been to and people I have encountered don't do that sort of thing anyway and I know we have different POVs, but this is particularly divisive and does more to hurt the biz IMO and turn people off to patronizing their establishment. We already live in an overly politicized society, can we just enjoy a cup of coffee as civil human beings without either side touting their political views? read more

Amante in NoBo is great. I recommend it over the downtown location because it's more spacious. If you're looking for latte art (you know... when the barista makes pictures in the foam as (s)he's pouring), they've done it on both of my visits. Oh, they're open surprisingly late, too. People, it's a COFFEE SHOP. You're giving it one dollar sign? For a coffee shop, their prices are moderate. $$. I got a latte and a little breakfasty thing and it cost several dollars. But I got a refill on the latte cup with regular coffee for only $0.90. Cool. Panera, on the other hand, is a $ place. You can spend 2.5 bucks and refill your coffee all day. Drink until you vomit, if that's the kind of day you want. But their coffee isn't as good. Don't go for food, though they will provide you with minimal sustenance. For that head south on Broadway to the North Boulder Cafe. Oh, bonus for the laptop crowd: They have outlets at most tables. This is where I go in NoBo, when I want to work on the computer somewhere other than at home. read more

I personally do not like the service here. 3 staff members kept to their conversation and then finally acknowledge me. There was no hello, what can I get you, nor a thank you. I received very poor customer service compared to others. I noticed customers after me were greeted with how's it going and I can help you when you're ready. I also paid with a card and she forgot I had to sign. Next, I asked for the code for the restroom. She spoke quickly 1010scar.. I had no idea what she mumbled. She repeated again but louder and slower. TEN TEN STAR. I'm not coming here again. read more

I really like this place! And it seems like alot of other folks like it too. At 1pm this afternoon it was full of individuals, pairs, couples and groups - most on laptops, most conducting big business, building the next great startup, networking, napping, studying - it was happen'. The staff was laid back, friendly and informative - I ordered a decaf latte made with skim milk and sugar free vanilla syrup - which I was informed had a name... It's called a "Why Bother Latte" :-) I really felt like I was was a Boulder, yuppie, starbucks wanna be with my special order. The seating was ample, the lighting was great and natural and the wifi was free - what more do you need. They also had a great menu selection. I didn't order anything but it appeared you could really make a great meal of it. Two thumbs up. read more

This a review for the Amante Uptown in North Boulder. Overall I'd give them 5 stars but sometimes seating can be sparse (read this place can be crowded). The coffee is great from lattes to cappuccinos. The baristas are business like when busy and friendly when things are calmer. Lot's of work from home/coffee shop types here mixed in with students studying during the week between 9 and 6. On weekends, the crowd tends to be a lot of bicyclists either meeting before a ride or hanging out after a ride. If you find yourself in NoBo Amante is worth checking out. read more

Normally a great cappuccino here. Last two have been "heavy" with too much hot milk. New staff

I've been going here consistently for months. Some of the staff is okay but Bridget and others are terrible. They are condescending and rude. They charge a dollar for refills while Starbucks is FREE. I am NEVER going back there. Hayley is wonderful and always tip her. Btw. Bridget confronted me about not paying for the refill she poured and the. Proceeded to yell in front of everyone that I don't tip her and that I had been there for hours. Go anywhere else. Mediocre at best and overall terrible staff. As they pointed out, he is a regular. THAT IS THE ONLY THING IMPORTANT TO THEM. It's the regulars (of which I was one) that are big tippers that matter to them and no one else. Notice they could not refute what I said regarding the employee. I was already packed to leave when they told me to leave. Why would I want to go back? read more

This morning I arrive at Amante at 5:39 AM, 5 minutes before their opening time. I am young woman, and a graduate student who was looking to start studying early. Mind you, it's pitch black at 5:39 AM, in January... I saw the barista inside, and tapped on glass-thinking that of course as another woman seeing a fellow young girl- she would bend the rules and let me in. Instead, she made a rude face and gestured to me that they didn't open until 5:45. She did this ALL THROUGH THE GLASS as she refused to come over and see me. I then waited nervously outside the door for 5 minutes. At which point she opened door, and without apologizing rudely told me that they don't open until 5:45. She then told me that she thought her safety was threatened as she "couldn't see me through the window" based on fact that I'm "black and wearing black". She explicitly said those words. Making direct comment on my race. OH and the window tint as an after effect. And yet she was fine walking to the door and opening it minutes later. This was also while i held my texts books, clearly demonstrating my student status. She then asked me to leave once I expressed my complaint in calm voice. Rachel is the manager of the Baseline Amante and she is the person I had the poor interaction with this morning. You lost a customer today Amante and one who came very frequently at that. read more

Amante Coffee was a good omen a lovely weekend. I will start out with my appreciation for the steamed milk coffee decor. It has become a wide-spread talent among privately-owned caffeine shops, but I love it. I just love it. (Hence the photo). Amante Coffee's common guest seems to be the cyclist. We were not cycling... or thinking about any kind of work, but it was on the way to our destination (which was actually un-destined since we were going to pick a place in the mountains that felt right). Anyway, that's for another review. As for Amante Coffee, it was clean, yet artsy (which don't always go together, but Amante pulled it off well). I remember clearly the photograph outside the ladies room: beautiful and indescribable - (check it out, and save me the grief of deriving words that won't do it justice). If I were closer, this would be a regular stop for me, but I'm a Denver-uh-person... what do they call us here in Denver? Anyway, I'll be sure to visit again should I head down whatever road it's on while on my way to wherever. read more

Amante Coffee - Mmmm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

So far, this is the best coffee that I've had in Boulder. I'm a junkie, and looking for talented baristas to feed my habit. This place has them. I've enjoyed every drink here. The seating's a little crazy, and it's often packed (boo!) which is lame as it's a bit of a walk to my next favorite place. Lots of bikers love this place. I mean the bicycle kind of biker.... Predictable as there's a bike shop right next door. Love the decor, love the light, don't totally love the crowd and the noise. Outdoor seating is definitely a bonus. read more

Nice location and pleasant outdoor seating. But please get rid of the annoying combination locks on the restrooms. I like to never got in there. What other coffee shops put their customers through this? read more

Not sure why everybody thinks this place is so amazing. It does have a nice decor, I guess I understand what they are trying to do with the cafe and offerings. I've only had a drink there once, but it was an adequate Americano, not bitter at all. Seemed that there were a lot of people having business meeting, working on their computer, etc. Side note - apparently a cyclist hangout - the Colnago variety of cyclist is my guess. I seemed to be the only cyclist in there on today's snow storm. Not a hipster stop at all. It's hard to write a review to suit everybody in this case. If a professional environment or a good solitary cup of coffee is what you need, this seems like a great choice. I wouldn't walk/drive/bike/bus across Boulder to go here though, so many other choices in the core of town. If you live in N Boulder, lucky you! read more

I never really warmed up too much to Amante. There are always a lot of people hiding behind their laptops. The atmosphere is rather cold in my eyes. The place is too now to have much of a traditional flair. This is clearly a mecca for cycling fanatics. Don't go during the Tour de France since it will be on non-stop. The Amante North I am writing about is at a prime location since there isn't really too much around that's worth mentioning in my eyes. The service is friendly. I consider it pricey. But that's fairly common with coffee shops these days. All in all my sentiment towards the place is fairly neutral. Not bad but nothing to rave about. read more

The coffee was excellent the service friendly, I will definitely come back again, thanks!!!

This was one stop on my cafe tour of Boulder, co. I enjoyed the cappuccino. Excellent espresso and the scone was amazing. They have a variety of scones; peach, blueberry and raspberry. Their house coffee is also yummy. Plenty of seating and space to read the paper or catch up with friends. read more
