Crema's Take

Nestled in Avanti, this roastery brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to espresso and pour overs that clearly resonates with serious coffee enthusiasts, though their execution can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the bar. The pastry program is genuinely worth seeking out, though some reviewers have encountered quality misses that suggest they're still finding their rhythm at this newer location. If you catch them on a good day with an engaged barista, you're in for something special—just be prepared for some friction around their default tipping practices.

The coffee just was not good, tasted like milk with a splash of coffee. very expensive, and the servers seemed uninterested and annoyed. Definitely better options.

Great coffee, and amazing pastries. For some reason, they add a $2 charge onto everything as a "tip" that you must manually remove. It's really awkward and makes me think that the owner doesn't pay their employees enough. I work on Pearl St, and there are plenty of other coffee shops that don't engage in fraudulent practices, so I'll be going to them instead. Re: owner response, if you remove the $2 default tip, I’d be happy to come back.

I’ve tasted Bona coffee at Sanitas before, as a coffee enthusiast I visited their new location this weekend and again I had an exceptional experience! Barista was friendly, coffee one more time perfectly brewed and the food delicious. My new favorite coffee shop for sure!

Gross. Threw it away and went somewhere else. Pastry tasted days old, coffee was average.

Poetry in a Cup ☕️ Bona isn't just another coffee shop – they're a roastery, meaning they control the entire coffee journey from bean selection to your cup. This dedication to quality shines through in every sip. The cappuccinos, in particular, are a masterpiece. Perfectly balanced, with creamy milk and a rich espresso shot, they are a testament to Bona's commitment to excellence. If you're in Boulder and looking for a truly exceptional coffee experience, Bona Coffee Roasters is worth seeking out.
