First off note that they are no longer on Pearl but on Alpine next to Santo in the shopping center with Ideal Market/Alpine Whole Foods. I'll get the Yelp page fixed later today. We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide. read more

Clean food and free flowing Skratch! Haven't tried most menu items yet at this location (they moved in August). Disappointed to hear reports the breakfast burrito has suffered shrinkflation?! Undecided if this location closer to me in north Boulder is better and more convenient?? Although further from me, the old Pearl St spot made it easier to link up errands. read more

We used to drop into the Pearl location. Although the parking and traffic are a little worse, the space had a different feel. The current location has plenty of parking (but a strict 2 hour limit) and can get very busy due to all the businesses and restaurants in that area. This is a good addition, though. The food is quite good and unusual. The service is counter order and delivery to table. On the side is water but also a sample of their electrolyte waters. (Note that when we went to the downtown location a while ago they used to have 2 flavors and over time it might have been just 1; however they often had different flavors featured. On our recent visit and the Xmas holiday visit, the same flavor was featured. So we didn't get a chance to taste something different.) What I really appreciate is that they let you bring in your own water bottle to fill with the electrolyte drink. The new location is bright and beautiful and seems to have more seating. On our most recent visit, the screen was showing various views of Japan and cherry blossoms. It was beautiful and relaxing. Please note that the food items are a little expensive. The drinks cost is similar to other places. read more

Delicious food, and great fuel for running / biking. Great vanilla latte, Caesar salad with tofu, rice bowls, and spicy garlic chile sauce. The employees were really nice and they have their hydration on tap which is fun. Lots of tables and people were meeting for lunch and working. Bright and happy inside - would go back to work. I ordered it to go since I was on a time crunch and it was ready on time. read more

Officially one of my favorite places to eat in Boulder! I haven't visited Pearl St as much as I'd like to, and while paid street parking can be a nightmare, it's totally worth experiencing the culinary scene. My friend and I met here for lunch on a snowy day, and it was pretty full with people working on their laptops or meeting others. Very versatile in terms of vibes. I personally got the Mushroom Congee & Egg ($8) and Rice Tots ($6) which made the perfect meal. Would highly recommend both options, especially the tots, as they were hot, fresh, and tasty. Not the best to take home, but I did it anyways. I want to try more items off their menu. Customer service and ambiance were both fantastic. I'm super impressed! read more

Everything we ate here was great. My wife thought the soba noodles were spicy, but I loved them

I've been there three or four times and food/taste is inconsistent. The chicken bone broth was very watered down tasting. The miso coconut soup with mushrooms was lukewarm and not much taste and watered down. The rice tots are good, but very oily. I hate to give this review because I liked it the first time or two but not sure I'll go back. read more

Yummy, nutritious food and beverages. We loved the recovery horchata latte. My friend had a Caesar salad she said was so good she didn't want to order one elsewhere because she didn't think it would be as good. I had the salmon with yuzu broth and rice. The broth was tasty and the salmon was perfectly cooked. I will definitely return. read more

I have been meaning to make it to Skratch Labs Cafe for a while now! I live about 25 minutes away, so it's definitely a planned visit for me. I decided to go pick up some rice cakes and Skratch products prior to a weightlifting competition I had the next day. It is located on the east end of Pearl Street, close to Avanti. It was easy to find street parking within a quick walk too. I loved being able to buy rice cakes. I got a few of the chocolate peanut butter and the bacon egg one. They both fueled me for my powerlifting competition, which was a huge plus. I could also pick up other products like the matcha Skratch powder and some energy gummies. I loved that it's a one-stop shop for lots of healthy goodies. Of course, I also partook in the free Skratch on tap. They had Lemon Lime on tap, and it was so refreshing to sip on while I waited for my rice cake to be ready. The Bacon and Egg Rice Cake was perfection. I wish I had gotten several more it was so good. I'm going to go back and try a bowl in the future. It just wasn't in the cards on Friday when I stopped by. I loved the cozy ambiance too, so I might try working from there too since they also have wifi too. read more

Love, love this place! Healthy, delicious fare. Overnight oats aren't something I would imagine being over the moon about, but they inspired leaving a review, so over the moon I am! Absolutely delicious. The service is always great and it feels comfortable and inviting inside. One of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots! read more

Funny place. Been going there sporadically since it opened and the menu hasn't really changed at all. However, I do have my favorites: -coconut soup (so good) -fried chicken with chilli garlic sauce I switch it up from time to time and everything has been decent, nothing too mind blowing, but very good. If you go during the lunch rush you might have a hard time getting a table as most people sit there and work on their laptops. Service is ok, you basically order yourself, pick up your food yourself, and bus your own table. Therefore, when you go in the open tables are usually full of crumbs and/or grease- not a good look. Overall, a good place to grab a quick bite. read more

I'm am a big fan of soup and I make them all the time and this place has the most EPIC Coconut tumeric soup. It has mushrooms in it for a little texture and nutrients. Skratch is all about healthy options through and through. As an athlete, I've been studying all their packaging and am impressed with their hydration and energy options. Love this place! read more

I was truly surprised by my lunch at Skratch. I honestly wasn't expecting much from a sports nutrition company, but everything I tried was delicious. I had a rice bowl and a few a la carte options, and an iced coffee. The rice bowl is a contender for my favorite lunch in Boulder at the moment. I will say the price is Overall, it's a nice place to get some work done and enjoy some amazing food! read more

Food is amazing. Service is excellent. Ambiance is clean and great for anyone. One of my favorite spot to eat in Boulder Colorado.

Fresh, tasty, healthy and made to order. what prevented me from giving five stars is the on my second visit the salmon portion was half the size of what I had on the dish the previous week. Not sure if this is mistake or the portion size changed. At $24 before tip I hope it was just a mishap on my second visit. read more

TLDR: Skratch House Rice Bowl with Chicken Karaage freaking excellent... mochi breading making it crispy and lite, kimchi was alright but blend of everything including the chili oil and garlic was right on. Also got the pork and egg and bacon rice snacks along with an olive oil cake on the go... again freaking excellent. A must in Boulder if you want fresh and all natural foods. And they have a fountain dispenser with their hydration drink mix of the day for free! Right on Skratch... way to build a following! read more

I'm so glad I wandered into this little unassuming cafe. It's a haven for students and remote workers looking for a change of scenery. Seating is comfortable, wifi is fast, and outlets are aplenty. They also have a free hydration station. There is plenty of natural light and friendly, professional employees. The food is what prompted me to write this review. It is surprisingly delicious for how healthy it is marketed to be. I got a lemongrass pork shoulder bowl that was simply chef's kiss. I forgot to take a picture of it before inhaling it. I highly recommend this joint! read more

Free hydration mix. Could be the move to study there Really liked the Buffalo rice tots and the mushroom congee. Skip the chocolate peanut butter rice cake. read more

Super healthy, unique, and delicious options that make you feel ready to go on a long bike ride, which clearly is the intention. This is such a Boulder vibe in the best way: health and outdoor focused, with so many vegetarian options to choose from. I've tried the rice bowl, the congee, the pozole, and the veggie buritto, and the only one that wasn't amazing was the buritto--it was a little flavorless and dry. I'll be back for sure. This place is such a great addition to town. read more

Pork burrito was delicious iced oat latte was perfect. Shop is decorated with cycling bits and pieces and is my location to stop for a drink if i am ever to visit boulder again! read more

Worst cup of coffee I have ever had. Full stop. When I requested a refill of the empty creamer carafe, I was treated with what I can only describe as "accommodating contempt." Between the mustaches and flavor of the coffee (both iced and cold brew), I'd recommend steering clear. Though, if you like ill advised mustaches, equally ill advised short shorts and listening to privileged children whine about parental shortcomings, you might love this place. I'll let you make the call. read more

I know of nowhere else on Pearl St. where you can get a cup of bottomless drip coffee for less than $3.00. And if you get there between 8-9, your coffee can be accompanied by a complimentary baked good!! Including ginormous slices of coffee cake. The oatmeal is delicious. Free sports drink on tap! Clean, warm and overall, a very warm and friendly place. read more

Went here for the first time & was sadly disappointed in the "build your own" menu item. I paid $3.50 for a single slice of tofu! At that price I should be getting half the tofu block, not a single slice ... also, nothing was seasoned. read more

Delicious fresh food. Bowl was not salted, but Skratch offered plenty of condiments and sauces on the side.

I always go to the same coffee shops in Boulder, so this time, I wanted to shake things up. Skratch isn't a roasters, but they get their beans locally, and they know what they're doing with said beans! The barista was sweet and accommodating to my coffee snobbery. The coffee was bold and layered with lovely notes. Huge fan--looking forward to going back! read more

The menu could be bigger, but they do a great job with the limited items they have! The congee is flavorful and nourishing. I love the rice bowls for lunch. You cannot go wrong with the fried rice tots. They're so good and somehow magically reheat retaining their crispy texture. read more

This place is great. We had the Pork Burrito, Rice bowl with fried chicken and the mushroom congee & egg. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Great staff, service and presentation. Highest recommendations. Great for breakfast or lunch, or just hanging for coffee. read more

Good, healthy food, fair pricing. Very casual (it's not only ok if you just got off your bike, but recommended). Enjoy.

The rice bowl was mind blowing! Make sure to get the garlic sauce with it because yummm. The place was clean, staff was very friendly and the food was ready quickly! Overall, I would say if you want to get some workout fuel whether it's pre or post, there is options for all of the above! Food tasted fresh and their coffee was great too! read more

True to their word, this place treats the food experience like fuel. I left feeling more like a horse with a bucket of oats hung around my head rather than a meal or location I'd ever want to visit with another human being that didn't just hop off a bike or trail. I guess it is perfect for that...tired and starved to eat...something. The flavors didn't impress and the whole experienced seemed performative and a hand-wavy appeal as a lifestyle brand than an actual meal. If you're easily impressed and frothy at the thought of grabbing croutons up-sell, this is the place for you. I left wishing I'd gone just about anywhere else. read more

Stopped by here over the weekend while out in Boulder and loved it. I love Skratch products and was excited to try the cafe. We got a rice bowl, rice tots, egg and bacon rice cake, pork shoulder rice cake and a cherry hand pie. Each item was delicious and hit the spot. I lived in South Korea for a couple years so a bowl of rice with kimchi and an egg is my comfort food for sure. The rice tots were amazing! The bowl was a good size and really delicious. The meat was super flavorful. My only complaint is that I got a good amount of fat with the meat that wasn't edible. Loved the tray of sauces and I combined them to make my own dipping sauce. The owner was there and was helping out and cleaning and the employees seemed to be enjoying themselves. Can't wait to go back and try the breakfast burritos since they were out when we went. Word to the wise they usually sell out of the burritos by noon. read more

Fast, healthy, delicious. Good atmosphere. They have indoor bike racks and Skratch on tap.

Best breakfast in Boulder! Amazing food and even better hydration....the burrito was amazing and so was the atmosphere

Limited menu, but the bowls were great, tofu was amazing. Cool concept. The tater tots were my favorite
