Innisfree Poetry Bookstore & Cafe

Boulder


A cool, quiet spot on the Hill, Innis serves up a mean cup of fair-trade coffee along with a menu of innovative sandwiches, breakfast burritos and bagels (the Garden Pita is a must). The cafe also doubles as a poetry shop, selling all sorts of books – new and used, local and international – and hosting readings in the evenings.
