Yesterday the barista made me a matcha and the foam art was of a frog on a mountain doing magic. Truly exceptional. See photo.

First experience was pleasant and coffee was good. Returned the next day and I arrived 15 minutes before opening. By 7 I was ready for coffee! I continued to wait until 7:10. The 2 young employees had still not opened doors by 10 minutes past opening. When I tried to get their attention they ignored me. At the minimum they should have explained the delay and let me know if they were opening soon.

Pretty good coffee, great selection of devices to brew at home, but the baristas are very slow. Seems a bit unorganized. Good if you’re not in a rush.

One simply does not get coffee at a place which has three different sizes of cappuccino :-/

Loved my matcha latte with oat milk. Clean space and friendly staff. Plus they have a lot of outdoor seating!

Im a tea aficionado, and despite this being a coffee joint, I was thoroughly impressed. They have a large selection of loose-leaf teas, and their tea corner has plenty of tea brewing accessories. I got a matcha drink made, and bought Earl Grey de la Creme loose-leaf package to bring home. The Earl Grey is some of the best Ive ever had! The tea is so fresh, the flavor is even more intense than any other bulk teas Ive purchased. I started using less tea in my steeping to keep it from being too overpowering. I recommended this place to my local friends, as they like both coffee and tea. Im sure they will be just as pleased!

I love the coffee here! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and some of the nicest people! Highly recommend!

First time visitor and I had a lovely experience. The baristas were efficient and friendly and the ambiance was perfect for a meeting. I saw quite a community inside as many people were greeting each other across different tables. Would happily return to this Brewing Market for a cup of coffee and a treat. There are lots of nice little gifts available, as well!

Fantastic small and well organized coffee shop. Knowledgeable staff with a large selection of rare beans and teas.Very friendly, busy environment with hard working employees and tight management working together to make the brewing market a beautiful place to be. Thanks you guys.Heated outdoor seating is a plus.

A very nice coffee shop with the usual offerings. They do have Turkish coffee; a rarity. I had to try and love the way they make it, too. A traditional way of making this coffee. Very cool.

Great place and friendly service. Especially for coffee craving morning person, this is a place to go. Their outdoor sitting is awesome amid this COVID-19 crisis. And with virtually every coffee place doesnt allow any indoor dining, this coffee shop is much relieving.

MAYBE OPEN AT 7!? STARBUCKS NEARBY

Great selection drinks and ample outside patio space. Great view of the mountains. However, the location was odd for it was next to a hardware store and it was really loud

The brewing markets in general and the brewing market on Arapahoe in particular, has been a God send for many of us through this difficult covid time. Its been an oasis in the storm with very very friendly staff. thank you and keep up the good work! (I know you will) Thank you!

Yummy coffee. I felt like I was a burden though with toddlers.

The coffee here is INCREDIBLE!! And the staff are all very nice and very helpful. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Also its easy to get in and out quickly.

The people are friendly as most coffee houses are but they often seem distracted among themselves and sometimes take a while to notice a customer is standing there. I’d say it’s an issue with leadership and having the main objective of the customer experience as priority.

The food and drink are excellent and the service is superb. This Cafe has a very relaxing and comfortable ambiance.

I had a tasty iced oat milk latte here. They also have Italian sodas (my daughter likes the strawberry one). They are practicing safe social distancing here--ie one way in and out, take a marker by the counter to mark your table dirty when you leave. Nice to see Colorado doing such a great job (as opposed to Arizona which could learn a thing or two).

Nice sunny patio area and good coffee/tea. Multiple chai options as well as food choices.

Love the coffee and the atmosphere just wish there was more seating but I understand that is hard to do with the size.

The best part of this place is the patio. The barista was very rude to multiple patrons. We waited 10+ minutes for our drinks and it was a chaotic and stressful experience.

The best hands down spot !! Tristan made my coffee so good! I never had the best coffee !! He was so sweet and so kind to all of us ! Brought super comfort and one cool dude!! Thank you we enjoyed our coffee Tristan!! Love from North Carolina !

Awesome vanilla ice latte!

Good coffee kind of sterial

Friendly staff. Loved the outdoor heat lamps.

I had a very negative experience with the owner of this place. I have been going there every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m to study for the MCAT. Every-time I went there, I always bought teas, candies and tipped the people working there. I left my stuff at the table and went out for approximately 15 minutes. When I came back, the owner came up to my car and yelled at me for leaving my stuff inside. I told him that I didnt think it was an issue and that I will not leave them like that again. He proceeded to tell me that I shouldnt be sitting there for an extended period of time, and I should be buying more stuff from his shop. I showed him my drink and told him that I buy candy and tip the workers there all the time. He was very dismissive and switched the topic to my car. He said that I shouldnt park my car in front of his place for a long time. EVEN if Im sitting inside. This was funny to me because the parking lot is public and he doesnt own it. I confronted him with that, and he got outraged and upset. He told me to leave the shop and never come back again. When I went inside, I realized that he had moved all my stuff from the table (extremely illegal). I have never had an experience like that happen to me before. The owner was very arrogant, rude, and, seriously, has zero social skills. The manager told me that they were concerned about my stuff getting stolen, which was the issue. I asked her: why did the owner start telling me to buy things and move my car from the parking lot if that was the case. They didnt respond.The workers there are courteous and friendly. The owner, on the other hand, is horrendous. Just terrible. He treats you as if he owns you. I never had an issue like that before, but I will make sure to bring awareness to everyone I know (and possibly the media) about his behavior. I never wished bad things on anyone before, but I deeply hope this place gets run down and shutReally sad because I enjoyed coming here to study.

Find me a better cup of coffee in the Boulder area. I dare you.

The best espresso in Boulder! They were the first and they have maintained a quality product throughout the years.

This is the third time Ive come to the Brewing Market on Arapahoe. Ive always loved the beverages made here, the roasted coffee, the atmosphere. My issue is the employees lack of joy, verve, enthusiasm for the job. Thats a major reason I frequent other coffee shops: a morning smile and quick conversation to get me on my way.If youre looking for a good cup of coffee, the Brewing Market has it. If youre looking for a community coffee shop ready to build relationships and start you off on the right foot, go somewhere else.

Great selection of iced tea’s and really good turkish coffee. Friendly staff

Slow service. So so coffee.

Cute little cafe where you can get GOOD tea and great coffee. They also serve quiches and little baked goods to go with your favorite drink. The front counters are littered with chocolates and a carousel of gummy candies. They do special orders on flavored coffees and they have bulk coffees and teas. A nice stop for a pick-me-up if you are around town, or just stopping by Mcguckins.

Fantastic coffee and friendly staff without any pretentiousness. I also love how I dont have to settle for nasty soy milk if I dont want milk of the cow . Yay for almond milk and delicious baked goods! Best cafe on Piedmont Ave.

The coffee market at this location is one of the first we ever discovered that offered a variety of coffee roasts. Prior to that, we were part of the crowd that bought coffee already ground and vacuum packed in steel cans. That was possibly more than 35 years ago and every time were in Boulder, we stop in to have a cup and possibly get some fresh roasted beans.

I have been coming here for a while ever since I moved in next door and even in the short time Ive lived here I have seen so many baristas come and go. Ive read in the previous reviews that they say the baristas look sad and Im sorry to say Ive experienced the same. They have always been kind and interested but never all that happy. I ended up talking to one of the baristas on their last day of work at the store and I think I know why they look like they hate being there. Because they hate being there. Because they have no respect for the people running the shop. To be honest I may be on their side. They told me about how the owner pays them as little as he can and uses their tip money to pay their manager. They told me about their political views (which i have to say are very not boulder).I have never heard this kind of thing at other coffee shops so this must not be the norm. I think I may have to switch where I buy my coffee.

Decent coffee. But the service has gone downhill as of late (been coming for 20 years). Staff are often distracted when taking my order and then get frustrated when I point out that they missed items I ordered. Oh and if you order drip coffee you will most likely be forgotten about and have to ask for a simple pour 10 minutes after you ordered. Dont know if Ill be coming back if this level of service is maintained.

Good coffee and pretty wide selection of beans. The only complaint is the Internet was lagging

They are violating the stay at home order for Colorado, at least at the Folsom location. They are still allowing people to use their indoor and outdoor seating even though food and drink establishments are supposed to be drive thru, delivery, and take out only. Literally just witnessed it. Dont go there if you care about your health.

I come here often because of the atmosphere. It is bright and cheery with lots of space, friendly staff and has pretty good coffee. Great place to get work done!

Love the coffee and everyone is really nice especially with the pandemic social distancing was perfect!

Outstanding coffee. Reasonable prices. Gets quite busy. It was tough to find a spot on a Thursday morning.

The clerk argued with me because I wanted heavy cream in my large latte. I gladly would have paid extra. Oh, and he dropped all my change when I paid for some filters. The other employees said nothing.Any other coffee shop in Boulder can make a latte with heavy cream but not this place. Never again at this joint.

Excellent service for how busy they were.

Happy Shiny People

The brewing market has the best tasting drinks out of any coffee shop in Boulder besides Vic’s and I come here occasionally, especially if I’m visiting the hardware store. I give two stars because they do have exceptional coffee. I would give one star because of my negative experience with one of their baristas. She is super rude. Classical negative millennial behavior on steroids. I don’t know what is wrong with the person, but she has horrible customer service. I’m surprised that she still has a job. Both times that I’ve been here recently she’s been openly hostile to customers. Really shocking behavior. If you hate people you should probably not be a barista. What is more shocking is that the manager lets the behavior go in.

Baristas we’re knowledgeable and friendly!

Very...meh. Staff isnt very nice, but also isnt very rude. They are kind of just there. Youre lucky to get a word out of them. The coffee is decent, but overpriced in my opinion. It seems like a nice quiet vibe in the morning, but the negatives outweigh it for me. Not a place to avoid, but I wouldnt go out of my way to go here.

The Brewing Market would be the best coffee shop in Boulder if the staff was better. Great coffee, nice location, but wow the staff can be just awful at times.I used to run a coffee shop and Im shocked that the owners of Brewing Market waste so much potential by not investing in a better staff. Sometimes theyre friendly, sometimes theyre not. Worse, theyre terrible at dealing with the morning rush and the wait for a simple black coffee is often way too long. Frequently it just looks like theyre understaffed, but even so the staff that are working seem uncaring and often do not respect the time of their customers. I know that myself and others often choose to go elsewhere for this reason alone.The coffees great though.

Good chai latte, but the frittata was an absolute abomination. Stick to the drink menu and your experience wont be marred by lackluster microwaved dishes. Id grab coffee here again, but wouldnt use it as my regular spot.

Great coffee and sweet place to work or be with friends. The baristas are consistently friendly and thoughtful. It is not easy to find decaf that has good flavor and no bitterness - try the decaf latte. Youll love it!

Pretty good latte. Friendly staff. busy location. setting inside is pretty good with lots of outside setting with heaters over head.

Its a tough sell for sure. The coffee is really acidic and the pastries are overpriced. Most of the staff are awesome and really nice and the ambiance is pretty good. They place classical music often that makes you feel like youre in the Shining, and during the warmer days its good to sit on the porch outside and work. The Owner is a real piece of work though. I have decided to stop contributing my money to his bad practices and abuse of his staff. There are so many coffee places in Boulder that are more worthy of your time and money than this place.

What is about the oat milk rooibos cambric, seriously addictive.

They provide wonderful coffee and environment. You should try there Turkish coffee once!

Good coffee, good pastries, good service.Great local shop that doesn’t blow me away, but doesn’t do much wrong either.

Very unique coffee and espresso blends and a lot to offer. Prices are variable depending on what you want. Overall highly satisfied.

Good place to do work and good cold brew

Good coffee. Nice staff. Outdated cash register equipment.

The croissant was huge, light and wonderful. Drank my own coffee which was pretty damn good as well.

Great spot for a cup outside in the sun

When it comes to Coffee I am a definite snob. I tried this place simply because it was right next door to where I had a meeting. They did not disappoint me in anyway. In fact I found them to be quite exceptional. If I find myself in Boulder again I will definitely be back !

Been frequenting all the Brewing Market stores since the late 80s. The staff is always polite, knowledgeable, friendly and interested to get to know their patrons. The coffee is superb and the experience of sitting down under one of their heated cabanas in the cold season and sipping some fine coffee never gets old. Highly recommend this landmark establishment... Friends dont let friends drink Starbucks ! Long live the Brewing Mkt !

Excellent service, very good coffee.

This is my new favorite coffee shop in Boulder (and I’ve tried a lot of them) because of how awesome the staff is there. Plus- the veggie and egg croissant is AMAZING

Sometimes this place is rather busy. For being so highly trafficked they do a good job of keeping a clean atmosphere. I like having casual business meetings here.

Delicious house made chai! Very spicy.

Great atmosphere and the quiche is phenomenal!

Nice beer and good food with giant servings....great place to hangout after skiing

Always friendly service, a gig do variety. It has a nice atmosphere . There is outside seating which is nice in Warner weather .

Great coffee. And its the only place where I can find European liquorice.

Great tasting coffee, pretty decent selection. Tea selection is good as well. Wonderful pies.

A good place to stop on a Sunday morning, read the paper, and just relax.

The Brewing Market has been around Boulder for almost as long as I have and thats getting to be a long time. It was a real leader in the espresso coffee movement back in the day. They once roasted the beans right in the store. Long story short, they still pull an excellent espresso, as good as any in town. And although I havent paid much attention, I think they try to keep up with most of the froo froo hipster coffee trends as well. I find it hard not to stop there every time I visit McGuckin Hardware. However, I do find their downtown location to be cramped and a bit slow.

Great options for a quick bite and great coffee. The staff is super friendly.

Great little coffee spot with a large selection of name brand brewing equipment. A must for coffee fanatics.

Great coffee! I had a soy latte with hazelnut and it was delicious! Also great for parking!

Great view of the mountains and good coffee (they even provide soy milk!)

Great service excellent Coffee Bean and fair prices♡

Favorite coffee house. They have an amazing Ceylon tea that is smooth and amazing and I always get it. I with they had more locations.

It was ok. The regular coffee that I ordered was fine. It felt very busy.

Beautiful store ... plenty of peaceful but inspiring spaces to sit and enjoy your premium brewed coffee (a la SBux R). Bright and cheery staff round out a great experience!

This is a review of the Brewing Market in Lafayette, near the YMCA. Much of the review applies to the other Brewing Markets, including the original that is part of the McGuckin’s building, a shop I went to as early as 1984 when a large coffee was 75¢. This review has subheading-stars (yes, my own convention), which are not necessary for a five-star review (as this is).This particular Brewing Market is called “Espresso Vino” because they serve beer and wine in the evenings (but that aspect falls outside of this review).Coffee (drip): ***** My overall favorite drip coffee anywhere, period. They use plenty of coffee, usually have a dark and a lighter roast. They roast their own coffee. They filter their water carefully. And they keep their equipment clean.Ambience: ***** This is a great place to meet someone or to work/read alone. A variety of seating arrangements, including outdoors, indoors with cushions, indoors with wooden tables and chairs, and a small room-like section that may be reservable. The music has never annoyed me, although I prefer the way the original Brewing Market plays (or played—don’t live near there) classical music, a unique touch.Internet connection: ***** Never had a problem (and don’t have any metrics). Certainly, it’s never failed me, and that is not always the case at coffee shops. Well, it failed me once but it was a neighborhood-wide problem with the provider.Miscellany (location, staff, food): ***** The location is conveniently near a major intersection, but is far enough from traffic so that the outdoor seating is quiet. Most of my encounters with the staff are pleasant. Because I’ve been a patron longer than some of them have been around, a few of my questions, being dated (such as, “do you still get baked goods from Brillig Works”), throw them off balance—but they do their jobs just fine. One night I showed up when they were closing in spite of what some web site has posted, and the barista insisted on sending me out with a latte on the house.

Best mocha in town. They are the only place I know of that uses cocoa powder to make their mocha, all others use chocolate syrup. I can really taste the difference.

Great, as always, and customers outside were asked if anyone needed water on this 94 degree day. Over and above : as usual!

Love it. Though I heard in Europe you can get a latté for the equivalent of 1.5 dollars. Something to think about. ;)

Good coffee. Good place to study or chill.

Horchata latte is amazing! It’s not 100% consistent store to store or even time to time at this location. That said, overall they get it the best here. I go to this Brüna Marketa, the one downtown & the one @ 95th & Arapahoe so I’m not terribly biased. Here they also have good seating, easy access & lots of chocolate to spend money on. Parking lot can be a goat rodeo but that’s potentially your fault, definitely not theirs.

Wonderful coffee a.c d great service. Everyone im in Colorado Ill stop there

Great place to get a Cappucino and 10% discount for college students :)

Great coffee and friendly helpful staff.

Love the espresso shots! It also has a place you can buy tea and coffee machinea

I may have just gotten the best almond milk Latte I have ever had here today. Very Pleased and good prices too.

Can be slow but really good coffee and a great outdoor area for sitting and reading or working. They also sell a lot of coffee supplies if you are looking for certain tools or cleaning supplies for an espresso machine (for example)

Slow service. Coffee tasted burnt. I DO NOT recommend.

Great service and coffee! I always get a macha latte with 2 shots and highly recommend it!

I use to love coming to the Brewing Market at the Village. The baristas were personable, efficient, and the space was consistently clean and welcoming. My most recent encounter was extremely disappointing, and talking to many of the regulars theyve noticed this trend for a while: the baristas are far less friendly or blatantly quiet and the store itself is less clean (the bathroom was filthy). I also ordered a Ginger Chai, which was my favorite drink, and it tastes bitter, like the tea steeped too long. Overall disappointed with the place I loved.

This place has always been mediocre and recent changes to the staffing have made the service slow and lackluster. I would definitely consider the myriad other coffee options in Boulder.

Great Coffee & service!Only 4 stars because their Wifi is a bit slow / buggy and can be frustrating :/ (Not the case in the south boulder location)

Very friendly service and the mocha freeze is addictive.
