TIP YOUR BARISTA ALWAYS
Barista who pulled my shot was super friendly and espresso was dialed in. Register person was also one of the kitchen prep folks and seemed rushed to get back to the food order.
Nice equipment. Work flow seemed cramped for food and coffee all in one space but hopefully it works for the staff.
I felt a little strange being the only one not on a Mac or laptop and there was no conversations happening. WFH space primarily it seems.
The bike shop side seemed less organized and some clutter in the bike fitting space. and I wasn’t sure if it was an actual bike shop or just clothing shop. I also had no idea who was running the shop side because no one greeted me or acknowledged me. While the clothing is curated well for a higher budget, I had difficultly understanding the layout. They had a lot of very expensive repair stands I wish were on display better.
I think the space is great for people who need introduction into high end clothing for biking but it removes the sense of being okay to show up as you are and be welcomed as there was little interaction from anyone else working there besides barista on bar.
If the space is intentional for focusing on women, I think the curation is almost there but the service aspect should be re evaluated. I get that most bike shops are male dominated and no one likes to be mansplained anything. But if someone is not even being acknowledged walking around, how is that creating a difference in the biking industry?
I wish you all the best on your...
Read moreThe newest coffee shop in town and it's quickly becoming a favorite. The atmosphere is light, bright, and airy. Plenty of seating (and different types), outlets if you want to do work, an option to roll up to the outside counter to grab a coffee. Plus they even have some comfy chairs that make a perfect spot to sit with friends. Coffee drinks are delicious, self-serve water is easy to grab, and the food is awesome. Highly recommend one of their breakfast sandwiches (veggie and vegan options!), but I've yet to have anything that wasn't very good. The prices reflects well done and very tasty options!
If you cycle, there are lots of perks including locker storage (first come, first serve), indoor bike hooks, a bike wash station, recovery tools, and easy to grab snacks and treats. Plus you can buy things like CO2 or use their floor pump on the way out.
The bike shop itself offers lots of options from water bottles to jerseys to shoes. And everything is thoughtfully designed and laid out with a womxn+ first mentality but welcoming for everyone.
This is definitely a go-to spot for me now, and I really can't recommend...
Read moreWent here just about every weekday for three weeks as my dog was being treated for cancer at CASE. Great vibe and some of the best matcha I managed to find in Boulder.
The music isn’t too loud and the acoustics are good enough you can easily take work calls without issue. The WiFi is solid as well, which especially helps as this is an AT&T dead zone.
The breakfast food was decent, but the BLT was a total standout. I ordered it for breakfast a lot. The beet latte was surprisingly great as well.
I also really liked the employees - they are so friendly and would even bring you the drinks/food if things weren’t too busy. Restrooms were very clean as well.
While I wont miss driving to Boulder everyday I will...
