Crema's Take

“Nestled on Pearl Street, this beloved Boulder spot opens early and pulls espresso-forward drinks with real care, making it the go-to for both quick caffeine fixes and serious study sessions. The cozy, bustling atmosphere attracts students and laptop workers who return again and again, though arriving early is key if you want a seat for meeting friends. While the coffee consistently impresses and the space welcomes dogs, the pastry game could use some refinement—but that hasn't stopped regulars from making it their favorite neighborhood coffee haunt.”

This is my favorite coffee shop in Boulder. It’s a bit busy, so you might need to arrive early if you’re meeting people in order to get a good seat. The coffee is great, the food could be a tad better. Be sure to check the bulletin for events, lots to do in Boulder.

Stopped here for a quick coffee whole we were on Pearl Street. I got a mocha and it tasted good. The vibe was the knd if I was a student I would love to hang out there with my laptop and do work.

The cashier was very friendly, but unfortunately I cannot say the same about the barista. Even though we ordered to have our drinks in, she insisted on giving us a paper cup. When we asked for proper cups, she reacted with an unfriendly attitude and seemed annoyed. This does not really fit with the café’s concept of presenting itself as environmentally friendly.

The baristas at the Laughing Goat were so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in.. I came here two mornings in a row to study because it was so cozy here and the coffee and pastries were amazing! Highly recommend this cute coffee shop if you are in town. The blueberry pastry is 10/10 perfection!!!

Great place to hang for a school project. Quiche was poorly made -basically a loose omelet. Dogs are welcome here!
