We were greeted by a great hostess with an excellent sense of humor. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 at a round table that still had plenty of elbow room for all of us. Our server, Michelle, greeted us right away and provided recommendations on their coffee and drinks. She was energetic and fun - we loved her genuine interaction with us! The food came fairly quickly considering they were nearly full. I chose the cinnamon roll French toast (chef's kiss!!) and hubby had the basic breakfast. We shared our meals so we could each have something sweet and savory. My niece had the Heartland Skillet and said it was to die for! I don't think there was much on the menu where you could go wrong. And bonus - they offer a breakfast cocktail for 99 cents with an entree order. You can get up to 3. This is an excellent choice for brunch (service and food!) and we will return next time we are in Boulder!

It was busy when we walked in and all the tables were full and then we were offered outside seating which we didn't know they offered. They have three tables outside and it was nice in the sun. The menu has a nice selection of typical breakfast options. They also have burgers as I saw one walk by on its way to another table. Service was good even though we were outside. Chicken fried steak - 8/10 - this was one of the better ones that I have had. The hash brown potatoes were crispy and delicious and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly . Oatmeal - 6/10 - hard to have amazing oatmeal, it was fine Pancakes - 7.5/10 - these were light and airy, yummy, and huge (they were the size of the plate) This is a great place to frequent.

I keep coming back for brunch…read more Food: Rich and all dishes I've tried so far are solid whether it's the Buddha bowl, avo toast, burrito, burger, shakshuka, jam sandwich, pancakes, French toast, chai doughnut holes or huevos. I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.

We live in Denver and Dry Storage alone is enough of a reason to go to Boulder. Most recently we…read morestopped by after a hike. What can I say? We love dry storage for the sweet marriage of Japanese fare with sourdough & laminated pastries. Where else could you get an amazing croissant breakfast sandwich alongside fresh onigiri and be so glad you tried both?? The coffee here is excellent as well, and we love browsing some of the curated offerings on their floating shelves. If you enjoy making your own sourdough, do not pass up the yecora rojo flour. It makes the best sourdough. If not, make sure to take home a sourdough loaf. There is seating inside and outdoors at multiple picnic benches. Service is friendly and prompt. Lastly, keep an eye out for seasonal pop events! We haven't been able to go yet but def want to.

This a great spot in my neighborhood. Buts close to both campus and Chautauqua Park so it can be…read morepretty busy. It's a stand alone building and was originally built as a neighborhood grocery in 1932. It has also been a a convenience store and a short lived food coop. The current us is the best it has been since I moved here 50 years ago. It was such a good model that a second location was built over in Twenty Ninth Street at the end of the pandemic when the Peets coffee space was empty. The nice thing about the Hill location is that most customers come on foot or bicycle since there is only a little street park it. If you just come by car, please be courteous to the local neighbors who must use the street for their own cars too. The coffee bar is extremely popular but they also have teas and some sodas and bottled drinks and casual non alcoholic drinks. The kitchen serves brunch and lunch style foods from classic toasts and eggs , bowls of various sorts but the kitchen closes at 3 pm and the doors close at 4. My favorite item here has always been the blueberry ricotta toast but it was dropped last fall. So sad as I know others should like to see it come back too. But though I had a classic avocado toast with a busing friend yesterday. I went with a bowl today and as u hoped I will get 2 lunches out of it. They have also slimmed the menu this year as the kitchen is really small. They have fine tuned the bowls to include aspects of two. Today I ordered the Green Goddess Grain bowl so the best and healthiest forming of two worlds. I walked down for the takeout so I could eat at home with my own drink. They also have an app so it can be ready when yo arrive. The seating is ample in good weather like today but it can also be crowded as it attracts remote workers as they have phenomenal WiFi here. It's been a real asset to the neighborhood as well as visitors too. Even though the original owner has moved, the current owner has been involved since the beginning.
