A local coffee shop offering a variety of coffee and tea. They don't always sell food here for some reason, and their pricing and quality is not the best, but it is the closest coffee shop within walking distance from the house. My boyfriend likes their coffee and he is a coffee snob, but boulder does have a lot of coffee options that I think are better.

A coffee house with live music almost every night of the week. This is our favorite place to visit during the week as we always see a good show. Check their website to see if there is something that interests you while you are in town. They have a beer and wine list. During the day its a good place to work with a good selection of coffee and tea and food options.

This tea house is something you MUST visit while in town. The tea house was originally designed and built in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and then given as a gift to America, where it was rebuilt right here in Boulder, CO. You can't get more authentic than that. It's absolutely beautiful with intricate designs in structure and artwork. They also have an amazing selection of tea, tea cocktails, and homemade chai. While they serve food, I wouldn't recommend it as it is usually sub par and over priced.

Drinks & Nightlife
This place is a restaurant, a bar, and a nightclub all in one! I generally go here for their amazing selection of margaritas. They have a huge variety of rotating flavors like lavendar, peach, habanero, etc. Their happy hour pricing is incredible, especially for the quality. Then, at night, the place transforms into a nightclub on the weekends and typically has a DJ.

The views! This is one of the best views of the mountains in Boulder. They have the slogan "from garden to glass" because they use fresh herbs in some of their cocktails, like mojitos and moscow mules (among others). They also have a good selection of infused liquors.

This is not your average Irish pub. Its as authentic as you can get! With most of the decor shipped over straight from Ireland, and the staff friendly and charming.

Parks & Nature
Amazing views, and great hike. This trail is known as the "stair stepper", and is considered a "moderate" hike. It takes about an hour to reach the top, at a decent pace, and the view is worth the hike. You don't need to go to the very top for the views though, and even just 20 minutes in you can stop for a breathtaking scenery!

There are multiple trails at this park that can accommodate any fitness level. The best trails here, in my opinion, are the Royal Arch Trail, and Flatirons 1 & 2. Both have incredible views, and are a moderate to difficult hike.

Shopping
The pearl street mall is an outdoor mall in the heart of the city. It is one of the most iconic parts of boulder. It has shopping, restaurants, and activities suitable for all ages. It's even fun just to walk down the streets of the mall and see street performers, beautiful buildings, and the beautiful view of the mountains. The mall regularly has live music in the summer or other the occasional event (like fall fest, lighting display for Christmas, and more).
