This darling cafe has quite a selection of breakfast items. There is limited street parking in the lovely neighborhood. The patio has ample seating. The line moves very quickly so have your mind made up! Plenty of vegan options, including vegan green chile! I had a breakfast burrito and it was delicious and exactly the right size. The staff were very friendly and efficient! I will definitely be back. read more

Coffee is by perfect and pastries the best we found here. Will I miss my daily Spruce coffee? Absolutely. Thanks for helping me to feel at home! read more

Freshly baked pastries make for a really good breakfast, The coffee was freshly brewed and tasty. The croissants were flaky, buttery and delicious. Breakfast burrito, with chorizo, eggs, beans and sweet potatoes filing and delicious as well. I must admit that when we arrived, it was hard to take it all in. There are display cases with goods and menu boards, that say look for the specials and then there were special menu items, some hand written, some printed. The place is popular and busy. The large patio with ample tables make this a good place to enjoy your tasty breakfast. read more

Nice place on Sunday mornings in the summer when they have live music on the patio. The band is local, Espresso! who play jazz and swing. They sometimes run out of my favorite pastry but there are lots to choose from and customers bring refreshments out to patio. Get there early if you can so you have time to get a good seat. It can be crowded when the weather is sunny and warm. If it's rainy, it is cancelled. Check the website if you are unsure. It's fun with food and music. read more

Solid café! Pastries are good, and the breakfast sandwich was tasty. Coffee tastes good as well. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade, and the staff are friendly. Great for working on something or catching up with a friend. read more

I'm now a customer for life! Not only is their customer service phenomenal, but their baked goods are amazing. Every other bakery in town scoffed when trying to order a graduation cake 3 weeks in advance (I admit, I should have planned out further) but Spruce was happy to make it in a pinch. The carrot cake is to die for, and the piping was beautiful. Best bakery in Boulder! read more

Freight pastries in the Boulder area. Friendly staff great assortment of pastries. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

We stumbled upon this spot during a trip to Boulder and loved the unique pastries as well as the delicious espresso drinks. While crowded inside, the ambience of the outside patio in the summertime can't be beat! read more

Happened by this sweet spot after a hike in Boulder. The chocolate croissants were so tasty!! The barista offered to heat them up, and that made it even better. They had a lovely patio that we were able to sit out on and enjoy our pastries. I highly recommend! It was so fun to see locals from the neighborhood walking in with their reusable mugs for their daily coffee. The smell of expresso inside was delightful! read more

I needed to get a quick lunch nearby so I stopped by this shop for something to eat. I grabbed a Cuban Panini ($7.25) from the fridge section and handed it to them to heat it up for me. I did appreciate that this is something that they do, since I didn't have access to a toaster or microwave or anything. The panini was quite small considering it was almost $8...It really only took me about 8 bites to finish the whole thing, only to be hungry again in a few hours. The first time I got my toasted panini it was burnt to the point that it was black. Service was okay, not the friendliest but not necessarily rude either. I really only liked coming here because it was fast and convenient for the location that I was at at the time. read more

Almost entirely pastries. I suppose the goods are baked at this location but the air was not filled with at freshly baked aroma - it was 9 am Thursday. A simple breakfast of house fruit scone and cappuccino. Lovely outdoor area. The cappuccino was nice and the scone was good, but the cherry was not bursting with flavor. Good breakfast in west Pearl area. read more

Amazing scones, amazing chai. Just yes!! Service was amazing and the scones taste great, really fun to eat it outside and just enjoy the nature. read more

This was a great place after a trail run! The scones were absolutely phenomenal. We had the cheese and shallot and the vanilla bean scone. Both hit the spot, especially when paired with a dirty chai. The service was great and every member of staff we interacted with was positive! There was also a decent amount of space for seating. read more

I'm SOOO sad I didn't take a picture before I consumed these! (Or allll of the other things I purchased over the next three consecutive days!) I am so glad I don't live here and was just visiting! I'd become ridiculously unhealthy with the the eating I'd get done here! Ok, so whatever the peach scone thing was...just say yes! And the blueberry one. And the cowboy cookie thing. And... Also, the dirty chai ginger tea...make sure you realllly like ginger!! read more

Never understood croissants but the butter croissants here are something extraordinary. They are either the pinnacle of croissants baking or an entirely different cuisine. Delicious. Beautiful. If it was the 15th century, artists would have made paintings of their croissants. Never had anything like it. Heard about them in Estes Park where they supply to local coffee stores. Drove to Boulder to get some from the main store! Unbelievably good. Pro Tip: get them warmed! Great staff! Lovely place! read more

Excellent food and they offer gift certificates. I had always seen a line out the door and finally had better luck after CU let out. But don't wait! This is a bakery to try out and take extras to go. read more

I love the changing breakfast menu and all their sweets. Ordered pies for thanksgiving and what a treat that was! They also do a great dirty chai read more

If you like chai - this is your place. The spice blend was the best I've ever had. The peanut butter cookie was moist and delicious as well. Kudos to you Spruce Confections and your welcoming employees. read more

We've been supporting this bakery for many years. My daughter was so excited to apply and also be interviewed for a baking position here. This would be her dream job. The manager that interviewed her told her she would get back to her in a few days and then completely ghosted her and never responded to her to let her know that she didn't get the job. My daughter tried several times to reach out and was completely ignored. Really sad that a local business like this would treat potential employees this way. I won't be supporting this company anymore. read more

Horrible. 2-3 day old confections, dried out. You charged full-price for that crap? High priced and low quality. read more

Great coffee but employees rude to minorities. Young man behind the counter was short and rude with me, as a black woman, it doesn't surprise me. Will not be back. read more

Ordered a cold brew coffee, pre-made egg sandwich, and kouign amann... The barista calls out 'iced coffee' and hands over my drink. I tell her I ordered a cold brew, not iced coffee. She says "yeah that's what we call it here, they're the same thing". WHAAAAA? Obviously if the barista doesn't know this difference you're probably not getting a very good espresso. Egg sandwich was tasteless, threw it away after two bites. Finally I thought how can they screw up a kouign amann. I have had dozens of kouign amanns across the country and this was one of the worst I've had. Amazingly over rated place. read more

Chicken salad croissant was woefully lacking the chicken salad...mainly lettuce and croissant

I would LOVE to rate this place 5 stars. If it were just based on the coffee, food, and charming ambiance, I totally would. But I can't. I'm not from here, so I've literally been looking forward to having a truffle mocha for 2 years since the last time I had it. It's genuinely the best mocha I've ever had. And when I found out we'd be in the area again, it was immediately on my to-do list. We got a late start to our day, but I made my mom and husband drive with me 40 minutes from where we were staying so I could get one. We got there at 5, but that didn't concern me because the website and Apple Maps both said the Pearl St. location is open until 5:15. I went in to order, and was told that they were closed and all the machines shut down. I'm not mad, just really, REALLY disappointed. Not sure how many more years I'll have to wait to try again. So, my only criticism is that if you say you're open until 5:15 online, you need to be prepared to serve everything you offer until 5:15. Don't start shutting down and closing up until you're closed. *If* the hours posted on the multiple sources I looked up are wrong, please change it. If I knew they closed at 5, I wouldn't be upset. But when I'm going out of my way to come order, 15 minutes makes a world of difference. read more

So delicious!!!! Love the spruce juice, scones and breakfast burritos. Highly recommend! Best baked treats in town!

I enjoyed an great cup of decaf tea and a gluten-free raspberry scone. The scone was delicious! I like the option of using ceramic cup or a to go recycle-able cup. They also give a discount or bringing your own cup. read more

This place is a popular coffeeshop for boulderites. It has great food, a wide selection of teas, and a staff that is well versed in espresso drinks. The indoor space is small, but there outdoor space is large, shady, and quiet. If you are looking for a place to work I would recommend it only if your laptop has a lot of battery life and it is the spring/summer. Luckily, my laptop has a long battery life. It's a place I like to work at when I have my dogs with me beacuse of the abundant shade. read more

Literally my new favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch place. Their breakfast burritos, especially the ones with sweet potatoes, are SO DELICIOUS! 20/10. I go here at least twice a week or more. It's just too good. read more

This is hands down my favorite place in Boulder. It's close to my office, so I go often. Everything I've tried here is just so fresh and yummy, and their prices are pretty fair for an artisan coffee shop. The store is also really cute, and it just makes me happy. As a bonus, they always have a big tub of 65 cent dog cookies on the counter! Must tries are their ham and Gruyere sandwich on ciabatta, the black bottom cupcakes (?), peach and raspberry pie, two spoons granola with milk, their scones, their quiche, and Spruce Juice. The cupcake (actually not sure about real name) is pure decadence, with marbled chocolate and white cake and a cream cheesy middle. The pie is really fresh, with a perfectly flaky crust. Usually, I like the crust best, but the fruit in their slice really shines through. The Spruce Juice is the best iced coffee I've ever had. It's not too sweet, just enough to cover the bitterness, and it's pretty darn addictive. Even their gluten free Mediterranean wrap is pretty decent. The only kind of disappointing thing I've had here is their $7 turkey salad, which has a primary flavor profile of spinach, unfortunately. But even so, it's not terrible. You really can't go wrong with Spruce, and I strongly feel that everyone should try the Spruce Juice at least once in their life. read more

I have had a lot of cappuccinos in my day. It's my drink of choice. I stumbled into Spruce needing some caffeine and a bite to eat. I left with one of the best cappuccinos I have ever had. Yes - ever. They use a local roasted bean and dairy. It comes through in the quality of their product. The only downside is that the barista was not cranking out drinks (like at SB). I watched her methodically make my drink, even making sure the milk was at the right temperature. I travel a lot and eat out 3-4 times a day when travelling. Few places are memorable. This is one of them. read more

Normally, I love this place, but yesterday Darby told me I was "welcome to bake [my] own sheet cake, when I said we didn't need anything fancy, just some icing on a cake. They are short their decorator. I'm very sorry for the stress this must be, but under no circumstances is it good customer service to tell the customer they can "bake their own sheet cake." That was terribly rude. read more

Went for a quick breakfast & were brand new to this eatery. Had some questions which the guy answering did in a very unclear & annoyed way. Finally was able to select. Right when my food came up I was waiting for my friend who's food came up right after mine. There was one other person inside at the time. The same guy told us to get out cuz of crowds to come. Such a jerk! Decent food, awful service. Only visiting so won't go there again. read more
