A Cup of Peace
3216 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO
Crema's Take
“A Cup of Peace brings a refreshingly spiced, fusion approach to Korean comfort food in Boulder, with standout bowls and a genuine commitment to dietary accessibility—their gluten-free and celiac-safe preparations are clearly taken seriously by a responsive staff. The vibe is genuinely welcoming and chill, with nice ceramics and a leisurely atmosphere that makes it equally suited for lingering with a laptop or catching up with friends over properly flavored food that locals praise for finally bringing real taste to the area.”

Really enjoyed their tofu Bulgogi plate and gf/df dumplings in the past. Their dumplings are now discontinued forever per staff. I ordered the tofu noodle bowl for the first time. Almost no tofu, LOTS of noodles, and weak flavored sauce. They messed up/forgot two of the three items I ordered as well as my friend's and at least three other customers' orders while I was there. Heads up, it's also always really cold inside during winter if you plan to eat there. Enjoyed it in the past but I'm much less interested in returning.
This place is so cute!! And safe for celiac! The dumplings are in fact gluten free and celiac safe!!
Ignore all of the comments about being authentic, as this is definitely a fusion restaurant with things like burritos on the menu and no banchan (though you can order a very small side of kimchi for $1 more). I ordered the kimchi fried rice, which you can get with chicken, beef, tofu, or veggie (what I got), no option for typical sausage. Veggie with add on egg was tasty. Cute that they ask for a tip but expect customers to bus their own tables-- are we tipping for the task of entering an order on a tablet? Staff prompt and friendly.
Food actually has spice and flavor, appears to be a decently healthy place too. The bowls, utensils, cups are all pretty nice. Generally good and chill atmosphere, employees are responsive. Kimchi fried rice was great, Bulgogi was great, Dubbob was great, but the dumplings were pretty flavorless. Everything else was great.
Absolutely love the food here, it’s homey and properly spiced. This place knows what’s up. Flavor has been hard to find in Boulder, and this place is now a new spot for me! Yall have to get the Extra spicy-so freaking worth it and for the spicy lover.
