Laughing Goat Coffeehouse at Norlin Library
1720 Pleasant St, Boulder, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the heart of CU Boulder's campus, this espresso-focused spot pairs consistently strong coffee with a wonderfully eclectic blend of old-school coffeehouse and art-student energy that makes it feel like a creative sanctuary rather than just a caffeine pit stop. Whether you're pulling an all-nighter during finals (they transform into a 24-hour haven during exam weeks) or settling in with your laptop on a lazy afternoon, the friendly staff and late hours make it reliably welcoming when you need it most.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Open late. Wifi.
