Boulder


It's worth leaving the downtown bubble for this true treat of a breakfast spot in a nondescript shopping plaza. Think polenta with poached eggs, spinach and romesco sauce; impeccable Benedicts; smoothies; and ricotta lemon pancakes with blueberry sauce. The combinations are original and very well done. Sweet servers pour bottomless cups of organic coffee at tables with bright orange booths.
