The 8 Best Brunches in Boulder
"Snooze, 1617 Pearl St., is a made-in-Colorado chain that can’t be omitted from any respectable brunch list. Boulder’s Snooze spot is ideally located on the Pearl Street Mall. Like Lucile’s, brace yourself for a serious wait to get a seat here; if you’re lucky, you’ll score a spot on the outside patio."
"Snooze hit the Colorado breakfast/brunch scene hard just over 10 years ago and they haven’t slowed down since - especially at their Boulder location. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that you’ll likely have a long wait whenever you go. In this case, though, it’s worth it."
"Daniel and I started our day trip to Boulder with a late brunch at Snooze Cafe. The breakfast food was phenomenal and super filling."
"Known for its crepes and quirky atmosphere, Foolish Craig’s in downtown Boulder never fails to disappoint. Their Foolish Huevos are a take on huevos rancheros, but are served with a crepe instead of a tortilla. Whoever thought of French-Mexican cuisine deserves a prize, and this dish is gold-medal worthy."
"My mother and I found this restaurant by chance when driving down Pearl St. It looked fun and unique so we gave it a shot. The front/outside of the…"
"Thrive is here to serve you an affordable lunch that fits with your diet. Get a superfood smoothie or salad for $8.88 or less. This quality food with these low prices are pretty hard to beat!"
"The Sundown Saloon, also known as the "Sundowner" or "Downer" is a quintessential, grungy basement bar featuring pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, jukebox, and cheap pitchers of beer. Open since 1982, there are many longtime locals who frequent the downstairs joint and it's popular with CU students, as well. The spot is known for $1 Kamikaze shots and pitchers of PBR for just $6."
"This basement bar is fully equipped with pool tables, bargain shots and pitchers. Located in the heart of downtown, the Downer is a great place to stop on a night out. It has been around for almost 40 years and is proud to have had the same staff for much of this time."
"A favorite amongst the CU Boulder community, the Sundown Saloon provides a dive bar feel with a pool hall, drink specials, and a jukebox just waiting to play your favorite jams."

"Golden’s newest eatery is the Golden Mill, which is located at 1012 Ford Street in a revitalization of the old historic mill that sits right along Clear Creek. Walk by the Golden Mill on any given night and you’ll find the place hopping with people out enjoying the warm sunshine on the rooftop deck, which offers sweeping views of North and South Table Mountains. There is a 40-tap self-pour pour wall filled with popular home-grown brews, wines, ciders, cocktails and sake."
"The Arcana restaurant in the city of Boulder, Colorado boasts a tagline of “Food Migrations and Inspirations.” The stylish kitchen looks to the regional culinary history of America with a seasonal, upscale menu that features dishes like local trout with frybread and fried chicken.

"Mateo, named after the owner and chef, first opened in the city of Boulder in 2001 and features simple dishes that are inspired by Europe’s Provence Region. The restaurant offers a seasonal menu that utilizes organic and local produce when possible and continues to draw influences from the Provence Region today. The wine list at Mateo compliments the seasonal food menu and places a focus on small batch varietals from Italy and France."
