Flatiron Coffee
2721 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a quiet corner of Boulder, Flatiron Coffee strikes that rare balance between a quick caffeine stop and a leisurely afternoon hideaway, with baristas who consistently nail everything from traditional mochas to intricate specialty drinks. The intimate, book-lined space feels both cozy and spacious at once, drawing in everyone from students grinding through homework to professionals meeting over meticulously crafted espresso drinks, all while the pastry case tempts you to stay just a little longer.”

This little coffee shop is in a small strip shopping center, conveniently at the northwest corner of Arapahoe Avenue and 28th Street. We were foiled in our attempt to get coffee at The Dairy Center, but this spot was quite close. The shop is a bit crowded with lots of round tables and a small amount of counter seating facing the outside windows. There's a wall of bookshelves stocked with reading material. There's also some outside seating. The staff was friendly, but it seemed to take an extremely long time to make my girlfriend's latte. We were both tired and a bit cranky, so perhaps we were impatient. It actually took about six minutes to make that one drink, after checking my notes. Hmmm. I don't know what they do when they get busy. My girlfriend reported that her latte was fine, so I guess that's the conclusion. Pretty average.
Nice coffee shop right off Arapahoe. Good atmosphere. I had a mocha with coconut syrup. It was okay. Attentive, friendly staff.
Friendly coffee shop. Their barista made a delicious 16oz iced white mocha. The coffee shop was busy with all their tables being occupied by people from all walks of life (students, professionals, retirees, etc); including all 10 x 2 tops, the one high top and five seats along the front window.
Staff are attentive and friendly. Coffee quality was average and slightly below my expectations. It is a small cafe but it feels spacious inside. The atmosphere is calm and the design is pleasant. Overall it is a suitable place for a short break.
Very chill, laid back little whole in the wall. Love the atmosphere. Surrounded in books. The staff is friendly and the service is great. Coffee is delicious. The pastries and food look really good, but I didn’t try any. Will definitely have to the next time I’m in town.
