Neptune Cafe
633 S Broadway, Boulder, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside REI in Boulder, Neptune Cafe punches above its location with genuinely smooth, velvety espresso drinks and a surprisingly spacious, light-filled environment that draws both serious coffee drinkers and all-day laptop settlers. The pastries are worth the trip—crispy croissants and danish that pair perfectly with their espresso focus—though fair warning: this cafe's open, social energy means you might find yourself sharing your corner with Zoom meetings and study groups rather than getting the quiet retreat you expected.”

If you like paying a 30% markup over REI because there’s a hip coffee shop in your sporting goods store this is the place for you.
Came to enjoy a coffee with my book and ended up sandwiched in between two Zoom meetings. It’s a shame the shop allows the cafe to be a conference room with audible calls.
The barista filled my coffee cup to almost. overflowing. I asked her to give me a larger cap and she refused saying she did not want to waste a cup. She said that she could put the cap on herself. She did not apologize. The coffee spilled when I tried to drink it. I was annoyed by this poor customer service.
The environment is incredible, nice and open with outside seating as well. The danish and croissant were tasty, but no offer to heat them up, which was a bit odd. Still, an amazing place!
smooth velvety coffee, with pretty good sandwiches ! I wanted empanada but those do take longer (15min) panini was however solid! It’s spacious are with lots of people studying or hanging out. Cool little shop inside too for mountain climber enthusiasts
