Brewing Market

I come here almost every day (very convenient location) and there’s so much to like about it! Super wonderful staff, good coffee and tasty, tasty baked goods (perhaps too tasty in fact considering how much I eat them). Various forms of delicious croissants (almond, chocolate), cinnamon swirls, bagels, and other yummies like the new cream cheese swirled chocolate muffins (please come eat them before I feel like I have to go back down there lol).
It’s a small location– don’t come here expecting to sit with 10 of your friends– but other than that, I love it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with the tons of choices, decaf, unsweetened, etc. Inside it seemed quite and lots of people using the wifi. The colorful walls of tea pots and teas are very inviting. Plus the outside seating is plentiful and as comfortable as metal chairs can be.

Stopped in for a drink on the way back to Denver, and asked the guy at the counter for suggestions. He offered up a 1\2 vanilla/​hazelnut iced latte. DELICIOUS!
Friendly, fast, and effin good. Recommended!

Did you know that they make their own chai in-​house here? It’s truly the sign of a unique location in Boulder. There are very few places that do their own chai.
I also love that they have an horchata cappuccino. Just ask for an Horchataccino!
Great space, always friendly service, yummy coffee, good chai, I definitely recommend coming here at least a few times to try out all they have to offer!

I would say 2.5 is overall very accurate. Kind of bland drinks. Not so friendly baristas…

I can see why this place gets a 2.5 stars. Service sucks. Didn’t receive a warm welcoming as you expect in the morning as you step in to a Starbucks to get your coffee but as far as my the espresso cortado it was what I was expecting as far as a strong flavor coffee. So, if you can let the nonchalant atmosphere not phase you, the coffee seems good.

You would be wise to ignore the stale reviews from years ago regarding this particular Brewing Market. They are no longer relevant. There is a new manager and of course, new barista (s). (However, the Brewing Market on Baseline is one of the worst coffee shops we have ever been in. You will be admonished by a barista if they see you eating something that you did not buy there. Even a candy bar!!!)
Though we will concede that their coffees are not better than Conscientious Coffees (The Cup), Kaladi Bros., Novo Coffees or even Peets, their espresso is comparable to most and even better than Ozos’, in our opinion.
Also, they sell the gluten-​free Outrageous Bakery products, and their slices are bigger than what both Ozo or Alfalfa’s sell and, cost less.
Check them out. We are glad we did and we go there often.

I am visiting from New York City, checking out Boulder for the day. Coffee was really good and so was the variety of flavors. Breakfast burritos are fast and delicious. With friendly and personal service, I’m glad I stopped by.

not sure why this place got such terrible reviews. I’m not from the area, but a friend of mine is and I went to visit her for about a week. While there we wandered around boulder and stopped by this coffee shop to warm up and wake up.
There was a very nice guy working behind the counter, super sweet and attentive. I ordered an Americano, my friend a café mocha, and my other friend a hot cider. All of which were very yummy. Hot and delicious! the café mocha was AWESOME and he even took the time to put a little design on the top of the foam. loved it and would def. swing through here again!

Their coffee was so tasteless — one of the few times I actually threw it out without drinking. Horrible.

Stale and burnt coffee combined with rude, even hostile service make this the last place on Pearl Street you should ever go for coffee.
Rules for the Coffee Nazis:
1) If they recognize someone as a regular, he or she will be served next regardless of how long others have waited in line. I think you can become a regular by donating 20 or more krugerands to their widows and orphans fund, but it’s unclear.
2) They have bagels and muffins, but don’t order one as you’ll provoke a hysteria of confusion.
3) Are you a regular? I’m not sure I want to speak to you… Well, I guess if there’s no one cool here I recognize, I can unsmilingly take… your…order.
4) Eek, it’s the two grim guys working there. If I order wrong, they look like they might start a fight.
5) Sigh, it’s the two bespectacled girls working there. Here comes the attitude and the chunky, burnt coffee.
I’ve worked next door for a year now and have made over fifty visits, so this isn’t a one-​off opinion. I would love for this to be my local coffee shop, but it’s just unpleasant all around, and on their best day the coffee is just meh. Never again.

Bad service, forgettable chai, regrettable hot chocolate.

Great coffee shop with a local vibe. Really friendly barista, free wifi and was the perfect place for me to catch up on some work while traveling. Quiet and a little off of Pearl St, so not in the middle of the heavy foot traffic.

Terrible. Terrible I say! This place is one block from where I work. About 6 months ago I decided to grab a mocha. I remember it being pretty bad and service, not so great. When a customer walks into your shop, you should really great them with a smile, instead of making them feel like they aren’t wanted. But yet, I gave it a try. Let it be known, my one star rating is not related to service, however it is related to the quality of the product.
Well, 6 months have gone by and I was walking past Brewing Mkt and thought I’d give it another try. Maybe the first time I was there they were having a bad day and maybe the barista didn’t know what she was doing. Maybe… just maybe. Well, that maybe turned into a big fat, no way, never again. Once again, service = poor. People, care that you have a customer!!! Please. I ordered a cappuccino. This could be one of the worst cappuccinos I’ve ever tasted. Extremely bitter, so much so, I didn’t even finish it.
Lesson learned… next time, I’ll walk the extra 2 blocks to OZO.

I witnessed a barista closing the shop without notice with a line of 20 people waiting in the store on the evening of the Boulder Xmas Lights Parade. How are these guys in business? I got served a small coffee after paying for a medium but could not complain with all the mob around me who were rightfully pissed off beyond belief. No common sense business with below average coffee. Still in business in spite of themselves.

I’ve hit Brewing Market several days in a row now since my coffeemaker at home is on the fritz, and I haven’t been disappointed. Brewing Market is near my office, and there is never a hassle to get some caffeine. Even though this place is tiny and fills up easily with a line, they always get drinks out in a hurry and clear the line quickly. I just get regular coffee, and while the coffee is nothing to write home about, it hits the spot flavor-​wise as well as get my ass in gear-​wise.
Whoever makes their pastries does a good job too.

Brewing Market is a nice little local coffee shop. This location is tiny tiny, but since it’s close to my work I’ll head over there for a treat sometimes. I don’t know much about their coffee (never touch the stuff really), but their hot cocoa is ghirardelli, which is awesome, and they can make it with non-​fat milk (a+!) I rate this place way higher than I would any Starbucks. The staff is friendly, too! Since I don’t go here too often, I’d say it’s just OK by me. I’d recommend it to someone who likes coffee shops, though, but maybe check out the Baseline location because it’s WAY larger inside.

Best coffee in Boulder; highest quality at a very reasonable price. We get all of our whole bean coffee from them to drink at home, and try to go to one of their 3 or 4 locations in Boulder whenever we have a hankering for an espresso drink. They have a pretty good variety of bulk coffees.
