Highly recommend to anyone visiting Boulder, CO!

Funky funky building (and by that I do not mean that it smells). Found myself here on several…read moreoccasions, certainly not the easiest place to locate in town. Nestled behind the Sussex One building (visible from 30th) has its own parking garage. To note there are 3-4 spots outside the garage for oversize vehicles. Think the garage has marred many a roof rack in its day (I've seen at least one car try to squeeze through). The entrance to get into the building is also in the garage so if you are on foot or on bike be sure to head straight inside. There are several bike racks peppered around the garage just be sure to remember your lock. When you enter the building at the garage level you'll find a list of businesses & locations as well as an elevator should you choose to forego the stairs. On the 2nd floor is a very interesting garden which was designed by the architect in the 70's (met a friend of his today in fact). There are bathrooms on both the 2nd (northwest side of building near the hair salon) and 3rd floor (in the north east corner). The businesses contained within vary quite a bit. From physical therapists, counselors, Pilates studio, publishers, healers (various massage and acupuncturists), fishing company, hair salon, and background check services. The vending machine also offers quite a selection (you'll pass it on your way to the bathroom on the 2nd floor). Loads of ordinary cookies and crackers as well as $2.50 Justin's' peanut butter cups, cans of Yerba mate, coconut water, and my favorite unique item a salmon lunch kit (no, I have and will not be trying this). If you find yourself there at lunch you may find yourself a bit out of luck if you have to hear something up or want to wash a dish or two as there is no communal kitchen area. Interesting place worth checking out, particularly if you are looking for a healer (I recommend Mind Body Wisdom).

This shop is a real gem for Boulder.

This little gift shop is in South Boulder at the Table Mesa Shopping Center that used to have more…read moreretail 2 or 3 decades ago. Now it is mostly eateries, some are excellent, but this shop is at a section that has some old classic retail, like Neptune Mountaineering and the yarn shop, Shuttles Spindles and Skeins and is just below them and just east of King Soopers. It's worth the trip. Though there are many scented items in the store it did not bother me, not overpowering or particularly artificial like some gift shops. The collection is very traditional, a somewhat elegant collection, some items more unique than others. Several items I have seen here and there around Boulder, from Peppercorn to McGuckins, especially holiday themed ones. But it was a pleasure to look for and find gifts for that hard to choose for recipient all in one place. I was welcomed and helped with selection of ideas. Not a busy place when I was in, and was appropriately staffed.

I had not been in this store in years but looking for a close out deal for my husband, we thought…read moreto try. A few years ago when replacing a different item, I was able to get it from Nordstrom Rack online. I fared far better than this time in person. There was not even a wisp of personal help though I could see people standing around the walls. Perhaps they were security surveillance and not sales? It was too far away to tell and we knew we were in the right department and the products were stacked so haphazardly we felt we could look as well as they might, if we could even get one to come over. We have no intention of. Using again as the online suggestion that this store had the brand we wanted was out of date or just wrong. If you are intending to browse on a whim in the past you might find something you like. But know that Target has much more personal help with the friendliest people and their online stock status is much more reliable.

This has always been one of my favorite shopping centers in Boulder. I have used it regularly for…read moreover 40 years. Of course, first and foremost has been its main anchor, the venerable store for nearly everything from nuts and bolts to kitchenware and paint as well as animal supples and tools, lawnmowers and lightbulbs, sporting goods and clothing. You get the point. McGuckins! With absolutely wonderful staff and management. See my review for this great place. Another current favorite is Rincon Argentino, the best empanadas around and luckily for me, they are not fried, so much healthier and authentic to have the high heat baked style. See my review of them for specifics. My husband still uses Aspen Eyewear, another longtime favorite though I cannot, sadly needing a medical supplier but since the year that they opened, they have been our mainstay for glasses. See that review too. Grandrabbits, still the best wonderful carefully curated toy store in town. Though unfortunately we do not need them as much as in the past, as not only have our children gotten too old for most items, even our grandchildren have gotten beyond most of their range. But always nice for that special gift for any child. I used PakMail just the other day. Great for specialty shipping needs (which I did a few times) as well as supplies for do-it your self types like me. And though I have not been recently to Wood Grain Bagels, the French Cafe or Great Harvest Bread, Vitality Bowls, Brewing Market, they are appear to be thriving. Same for Sprouts. Also, Osakas, for Japanese fare which opened just before the pandemic but was enjoyable before as well as recently. Glad they could make it through the last few tough years. Check those reviews too. Sadly we lost a really great place at the beginning of the pandemic, wonderful Zolo Grill where we ate countless meals since its opening back in the mid 90's. But Big Red F Group still maintains several other options here in Boulder as well as elsewhere. They sure have grown. The old Boulder Ski Deals has been replaced by Epic Mountain Sports which I have not had a need to use, but Boulder Ski Deals was great for many years for some of our needs. There are a few empty spaces in the shopping center from the businesses recently gone, some we used, some we did not. But I am sure the management of this center will find suitable additions as times improve. And there is lots of parking unless there is a major holiday.Then, come early, in a smaller vehicle, carpool, and be creative.
