As warmer weather, longer days, and baby animals arrive across the Front Range, it’s easy to have a little spring in your step….and your cup. With so many local cafes, seasonal drinks flow freely, and there’s plenty to choose from. Some of the most delicious ways to welcome April and May include the following:
The House Blend at Boxcar Coffee Roaster
Boxcar is a Pearl Street coffehouse that stands apart for its unique brewing method, which uses a vintage roaster to create uber-rich, sweet, and distinct flavors. The House Blend is a favorite among those perpetually jonesing for a cup of joe; its memorable chocolate and caramel flavors thrill the palate while offering a caffeinated kick. Enjoy a cup before work or while doing your dreaded taxes.
The Honey-Lavender Cappuccino at OZO Coffee
OZO Coffee Company was founded in 2007 on the simple principles of service, community, sustainability, and quality. It features house-made cashew-almond milk, one of its many initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint. The Honey-Lavender Cappuccino is a fan favorite among coffee lovers and offers a potent, spring-like essence. Sweet and rich with floral undertones, it’s both balanced and bold.
The Spicy Chai at the Laughing Goat
The Laughing Goat takes its menu seriously. It offers a variety of food items (including a range of vegan options). A popular spot for studying, socializing, and taking a mid-day break, it’s been a beloved part of Boulder for several years. The Spiced Chai is one of its most popular offerings; it's packed with flavor and delivers a satisfying kick.
The Out-of-the-Box Sips at Flatiron Coffee
Flatiron Coffee has a reputation for embracing the wild side of the coffee bean. Its menu features an eclectic range of deliciously weird flavors to start your morning (or your spring) on a creative foot. A sampling includes the Butter Pecan (latte with butter pecan and brown sugar), But I am Le Tired (a cherry cola cold brew), and Peanut Butter Jelly Time (a latte made with peanut butter, strawberry syrup, and raspberry syrup).
The Roasts at Trident Booksellers and Cafe
Trident Booksellers and Cafe is a small, indie bookstore in the heart of downtown Boulder. Like many bookstores, it has a cafe serving specialty coffee and fine teas, including First Light (light roast), Confluence Blend (medium roast), and Dawn Patrol (dark roast). It’s an ideal spot for those who like to mix their caffeinated joy with literature, indulging in Moby Drip, A Breve New World, and Salem’s Latte.
