One of the better and more popular "classic" coffee houses in Boulder. Lots of locals sit around either working, reading, or just chatting. I like their coffee, as well as the atmosphere.

Often considered the best coffee in Boulder, although I'm sure you will get a few arguments. Ozo can be had at many restaurants and shops (Moe's Bagels carries Ozo.)

They also have a Pearl St location. This is the place for coffee if you want a really good pastry to go with it. Sometimes it's hard to get a seat owing to its popularity and pretty small space. But feedback from guests is very good.

http://www.fivespicecuisine.com/ Our other "go-to" Chinese restaurant. It is located in a strip mall on Iris at 28th St. It is a little more of a restaurant than China Gourmet. The interesting thing about Five Spices, is that its in-restaurant clientele is virtually all Chinese. I learned that the proprietress has a separate menu for the Chinese. You can select from it if you wish to sample truly authentic Chinese dishes.

http://www.moesbagel.com/ OK - being a New Yorker by birth, I will tell you that Moe's is not going to win any contest for being the best bagel, but as my son Zak would say, "They are serviceable." And it is closeby to pick up a breakfast sandwich, one with a schmear, or a few to go. They also serve Ozo Coffee.

https://boulderjapango.com/ There seems to always be arguments about the best sushi in Boulder. I'm not going to enter the fray. What I like about Japango is the food is very good, as you would expect, but I like the atmosphere and physical restaurant - much nicer than your standard Japanese Restaurant (at least in Boulder.) It is also on the Pearl St Mall and they have a good Happy Hour.
