Food scene
Favorite restaurants and coffee shops, most just a short walk away.
This darling farm-to-table restaurant is just two blocks away! In the summer, enjoy the amazing yard...the only outdoor dining space like this in Boulder. Catch Happy Hour from 4-6 p.m. and don't miss Burger Night every Thursday, where a burger + beer is only $13.

My favorite coffee shop in Boulder is a 7-minute walk away. Coffee is an art form here. Also, there's an amazing charcuterie + cheese shop attached where you can sample everything. It gets busy, but it's worth the wait.

A little upscale, but their happy hour is out of this world. Get the charcuterie plate and a glass of wine. The outdoor patio is great for a weekend brunch.

Yummy wood-fired pizza but there's often a wait, so be prepared. Just ten minutes away! Sit at the bar if you're on your own, you'll probably make a new friend.

A Boulder institution! Cheap, delicious, and oh-so-hippy-dippy. I don't even like the Grateful Dead and I LOVE this place. Always busy but worth the wait. Burgers are amazing and the fries are truly special.

Grocery Shopping
Love that this quirky little supermarket is just a ten-minute walk away. It's small and carries only natural products, but it's convenient and a lot of fun to explore.

Truly the most amazing liquor store I've ever visited, and it's a short walk away. Try Colorado's awesome local beers and ciders. My faves are Upslope, Left Hand, and Stem Ciders.
