I've been a huge fan of this is store for years. Needless to say this review is long overdue…read more The staff are friendly and knowledgeable (in particular Avery & Taylor). The offerings are fresh and often local as well (honey, hot sauces, and crackers to name a few). They have nice rewards (in particular the birthday month reward), as well as offer discounts to folks that work in downtown Boulder. Some of my fave products purchased at this location are Brooklyn Everything Bagel Blend, their Seed Ranch Umami Reserve hot sauce, and Old Mill Pizza Sprinkle. Getting there is quite easy as well as they are just a couple blocks from the bus station and located directly next to a parking garage (free parking Sat & Sun). If visiting isn't on your agenda no worries, you can order your faves directly on their website. It's a great idea to drop in anytime you are downtown. You never know what they'll be demoing or when they will offer their next in person cooking class. Definitely check them out!

I absolutely love this apothecary and have been coming here for teas and flower essences for over…read morefive years. The staff are always welcoming and there is plenty to peruse while you await your order (the flower essences are made on demand upon arrival). If you re-use your glass bottle and dropper you get a refill discount. From baby needs, locally made bitters, in house made tinctures and makeup, to eco conscious feminine hygiene products this store has something for everyone on your shopping list. They also have lots of great books, sweet grass & sages to smudge, and classes before. Offerings I've been tempted to attend include making my own lotions, as well as a course on making tinctures. Beautiful welcoming woman owned business. I highly recommend you visit, snag a cup of tea, and take it all in.

I ate some MaraNatha almond butter last August and got sick for weeks. They voluntarily recalled…read morethis product for possible salmonella contamination. Due to my condition, I had to cancel a trip to Italy. The airline credited me for the flight due to my doctor's note, but I am still out $538 for buying airline seats before the 24-hour window and a loss on train tickets, as well as, some medication. They completely denied my claim for reimbursement. Additionally, when I called on August 20, 2014, they promised a full refund within 4 to 6 weeks. I received a reduced amount in mid-December. MaraNatha is one of many Hain Celestial products. Hain did not refund as promised, and they refused to stand behind their product. And this was expensive nut butter - $16 a jar. They could not care less about having caused my illness and having to cancel a long planned trip. What a lousy company! I will never buy one of their products again.

I didn't realize how many brands are actually under this umbrella corp. The stuff I've gotten most…read moreare the Celestial Seasonings herbal teas that show up around Christmas. But I also used the Queen (Latifah) Helene 100% cocoa butter stick. It's pretty good, but in cooler weather it can solidify on your face or wherever you put it. That's what she said. Just sayin'.

Came here to get lunch on a Saturday and was blown away by their tacos! Finally found some great…read moreMexican food in Colorado!!!! I had the Taco plate which let's you pick 2 tacos and comes with rice and beans. For the tacos I chose the El pastor and the chicken adobo. Both were super yummy. The chicken adobo was definitely on the spiced side but still amazing! The rice and beans were also super tasty. I highly recommend going on a nice day and you can sit at the picnic tables. You can also get the food to go. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Boulder!

(Other flavors include lemon & cherry tarts, ginger & cinnamon snaps, spearmint & peppermint.) These are teeny candies in a tin. You can get them at Whole Foods as well as other places. On the inside of each lid is a quote, like "Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts." ( - Buddha ). The candies contain nothing artificial or animal, which is why I can justify eating so many of them. Also, 10% of the profits from the product are donated to the Ethno-Medicine Preservation Project to support the preservation of the medicinal plant knowledge of indigenous cultures. Can't argue with that! I notice they are based in Boulder, where I went to the Univ. Of Colo. in the sixties. Lots of cool businesses in Boulder......doesn't surprise me. www.econaturalsolutions.com

They had their big opening last Saturday but my day was already filled so I waited until a quiet weekday morning like today. I may have messed the freebies on Sat but I still had a 20% off for a store visit which I used today. I also saw so many cool options for holiday gifts that I bought a few also. Somethings were very unique. The staff had time to answer questions and apparently Saturday was so mobbed that they had a lot less time for each, than what I got today. There were food products, specialty sauces, cooking tools and so much more. Shirts, aprons, tote bags and other branded items. There were a few small electrics like a bread machine. I am attaching a lot of pix for you to browse to see if what you have been looking for might be available here. Prices were appropriate for the quality and variety of what they have in stock. I hope you find as much as I did! I wish it could be a permanent store. Really.

I'll be dreaming about Blackbelly dinner until I get to have it again…read more We didn't have a reservation and were able to sneak in as a walk-in after only a short wait. The service was amazing and the entire staff was so knowledgeable about the menu. Every time they would bring us something, they explained each ingredient and the person that made it. I've heard they have amazing breakfast burritos at the Market so I'll need to come see for myself sometime soon. Would totally recommend and will be bringing out of town visitors here to show off.

I hate to do this except I'm kind of sick and tired and tired and sick of the bullshit that happens…read morein Boulder. Supposed to be such a progressive place, right? 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.
