Spruce Confections 767 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302

"This place is one of my absolute favorites in Boulder. Confections are superb and the breakfast burritos among the best in town. Drawbacks? The usual tip-Vs-service debate. A great place for an after ride coffee."

"On the far west end of Pearl Street, the vibes this place emanated turned me around. Extensive outdoor seating with local looking folks of all generations sitting gathering together, merely talking and sharing and eating and sipping. They don’t have much indoor seating at all, most of their “dine-in” seating outside in a courtyard of sorts and along the quiet west end Pearl Street. They don’t have wifi, but they certainly have the pastries you’d want. Creating a true third space. Instead of going on my iPad, I turned to the page to write. A dude sat reading his book in the sunshine, drinking his cup of joe. A mom, her two small children and seemingly the grandparents all sat for lunch together. A true gathering space uninhibited by technology distractions. I got a cortado. It was good. The barista very sweet, very kind. A great local spot to get lost in the afternoon."

"Visited Boulder for the day and stopped here for coffee before we visited the shops. The place is quite small inside where you have to order your drink and baked goods but there were plenty of tables outside and under the tree next to the shop. The blueberry scone was nice and my friend’s ham and cheese croissant was deli! My only complaint is that the coffee wasn’t piping hot."

"Nice spot at the west end of Pearl Street. Delicious croissant, nice outside seating. Good vibes."

"The service was good and so was my coffee and Danish. I wish there were more things to choose from. Most of the goods were sold out. I can't give 5 stars though due to lack of cleanliness. The floor needs a good scrubbing ( I could see the track marks from the dirty mop they used) and the trash was way over due to be emptied. There were flies buzzing around. It was not busy, so there was time to take care of it. Also the door for the way to the bathroom was not well marked. It's a green door that says to stand clear. I'm not sure if I'll go back or not."
