The 21 Essential Restaurants in Boulder, Colorado

"Freshly baked late-night cookies are a guaranteed moneymaker on pretty much any college campus, but the ones at Boulder Baked are legitimately great. The local, family-owned bakery specializes in cookies, though its other desserts, like cupcakes, brownies, and ice cream sandwiches, are worth a taste too. Cookies come in every imaginable flavor: classic chocolate chip, peanut butter M&M, red velvet, and even an “everything” cookie. Boulder Baked is open until 10 p.m., and Buffs with the munchies can pick up or have the cookies delivered straight to their door." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat

Great local cookies. I liked that they use natural ingredients. They bake the cookies while you wait, so right out of the oven. I like that the cookies are not huge like some of the other chain cookie stores. Just the right amount! We will be back, every flavor we tried, we thought was great.

The most delicious and fresh gluten free chocolate chip cookie I have ever had! I even ordered a second one. The GF turkey sandwich was phenomenal and the staff were very friendly. Can’t wait to return soon!

Came in and got a coffee and oatmeal raisin cookie. The cookie did not have any raisins. Asked the very kind lady working if the cookie was supposed to have raisins. She said yet, but I might have just got one without raisins. Nice people, small cookie with no raisins. Probably not get their food if you go.

The one poor soul running the place was very efficient. The cookies were delicious, I'll pass on the cupcakes next time - too sweet for me. I was told the brownie was ok and the milkshake and bread pudding were delicious.

My wife and I stopped on two separate occasions to Boulder Baked for some wonderful cookies. She heard about this place and knew I would enjoy the fact that they are made to order. We were able to order and pickup these cookies about 10-15 minutes after ordering. Pro Tip: Wait 25-30 minutes before eating these cookies as most of these cookies will melt right in your hand if you try to eat them right when you get them. My favorite flavor was the Peanut Butter M&M while my wife loved the Red Velvet. These cookies are definitely delivered on taste and quality. I would highly recommend coming here for your sweet tooth fix.

This is by far a local favorite. Boulder Baked has the absolute best made to order cookies and cupcakes. Absolutely love it!

Bright welcoming atmosphere. The cashier up front was friendly when we entered and patient while we figured out what we wanted. They have a LOT to choose from including a whole section of the menu being dedicated to different types of grilled cheese sandwiches which made me giggle a little. They have a ton of different types of cookies and cupcakes that just looked like trouble in the best possible way (except maybe for my pants size). I would definitely recommend stopping here after visiting the cat cafe that is just two doors east of this fantastic little bakery.

My husband’s favorite thing in the world (hopefully after me and our dog LOL) is chocolate chip cookies. We eloped in Boulder and they did a cookie cake for us. Easiest process ever. Ordered week before online, did exactly what I wrote, picked up, paid a fraction of what a wedding cake would be. Keep it in mind for a simple elopement cake that is sure to photograph well AND taste good! Wish we had more time to try other items as I did notice an incredible selection of vegan and gluten free. Thank you!!! Our photographers Hartley Wilderness who are credited for these photos also say they frequent here and they LOVE the desserts. Use them for your photo / video needs in Boulder. The best also.

OMG these cookies!!! We stopped by this adorable bakery for dessert and ordered a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter chocolate cupcake, and mint chocolate cookie - all were AMAZING! The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie in particular had a perfectly balanced peanut flavor and chocolate chips were on top of the cookie, giving it a chocolate forward profile. Each of our cookies was freshly baked and soft inside. Because they are freshly baked, the cookies took a few minutes to be ready, but service was overall quick. There are only a few seats inside this cozy shop, which wasn't a problem when we stopped in but I could see it being hard to find a seat if they are busy. Give it a try these cookies are worth it!!

Came here for dessert after having dinner nearby, and thought it'd be nice to try a few cookies since the aroma was amazing from outside. Plus, what other bakery makes their cookies to order?! I'll admit I was hopeful, but unfortunately, the cookies didn't meet my expectations. Personally, the flavors of the 2 cookies I tried weren't there for me, so I think I'll stick with making my own. Not to mention these were the smallest cookies I've ever gotten at a bakery--cute, but definitely not worth the price.

Run, don't walk here!! Holyyyy cow, this has got to make it on the list of top bakeries I've ever visited (which is quite a long list). They have an absolute plethora of options and then they freshly bake your cookies!!! At first I was a little confused how two cookies could take 10 minutes to get, but then I was served two steaming cookies fresh from the oven. What a game changer! I had the peanut butter m&m which was amazing and got the vegan gf chocolate chip cookie for my friends and they loved it. What a lovely sweet treat!

I made an unusual request of Boulder Baked. There's a solar energy firm in Boulder that had failed to return my repeated contacts over the course of a year. I decided to get their attention by arranging for Boulder Baked to deliver a birthday cake to them with a note from me and with "One Year, No Hear" written on the cake. Within an hour of the cake's delivery, I was contacted and within four days I had a contract for the installation of the hardware I was trying to get. :) The birthday cake is, I'm told, now legendary throughout the solar firm. And the office staff reported that the cake was delicious, though they would prefer chocolate next time. ;) Everyone took it in good humor, and the endeavor was a great success.

Their grilled cheese and tomato soup is worth coming here! Even though I came for cupcakes and cookies. Unbaked options so you can bake fresh at home. Excellent and I will visit often!

Freshly baked cookies. Long wait but tasty. I also like how they're crispy on the edge and soft in the middle. Place is small but comfortable and there are many items on the menu aside from cookies. Lots of easy parking.

Delicious, home baked cookies and baked goods. I have to stop anytime I'm in Boulder and grab at least a half dozen. My favorite is the Cinnamon Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. Omg.

The cookies and cupcakes were good. You must factor in that they bake the cookies fresh. It felt a little tedious. People ordered after us and I think they waited to put ours in with theirs and it felt like a long time for someone who just wanted a fix for my sweet tooth. I had Choc pb cup, choc choc chip, maple pecan & red velvet. They were pretty tasty.

COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! My grandsons Birthday was birthday-cake-free since the Strawberry "overpriced* Shortcake was frozen solid! While attempting to taste the overwhelming freezer burn taste dominated!!

I don't think we picked the right items... from watching other people order, the cookies are definitely their specialty. The moment you walk in the pleasant fresh-baked aroma overtakes you. They bake to order... so you get fresh goodness in 10 minutes. The NY Cheesecake was pretty close texture wise, but the flavor tasted more like cake batter than cheesecake and crust is sweet. A slight variation from traditional. The cupcake was dense and very sweet... felt like a lot of sugar, not a lot of cupcake taste. Staff is very friendly! Will be back to try the cookies.

Maybe the best cupcakes I've ever had, and open late too! I always get the s'mores cupcake but you can't go wrong.

I recently had cookies delivered to my daughter and her roommates on The Hill. There was an issue with delivery (some kind of animal got to them in the short time they were left on the porch!) and they promptly re-made the order and delivered again (with hand off to a person!) I was very pleased with their customer service and felt thry went above and beyond to make sure they fit the delivery the second time. And they said the cookies were delicious. Also appreciated that they had gluten free options. Will definitely use Boulder Baked again!

Freshly baked, amazing, customizable cookies ready on demand in a town where weed is legal? How is this not the most popular place in all of Boulder. Pro tip. When you are sitting in a restaurant in town and about to go home, order a half dozen on your phone and swing by and enjoy hot cookies at home afterward. Divine, perfection, hot cookies.

The worst $3 brownie I've ever paid for- service was fine. Brownies are on the counter next to the register. I think a brownie is a good litmus test of good baking. I'm sorry to say there was too little chocolate and too much sugar.

I've only tried the cookies and cheesecake and it was divine! The cookies are always made fresh so expect a short wait while they pop it in the oven. You can also preorder if time is not on your side. The cheesecake was lovely. Not too sweet and the texture is just right. Hard to go wrong choosing one of the cheesecake options. I skipped out on the cupcakes today (Sunday). The baker comes in and bakes fresh cupcakes Monday to Friday. Definitely looking to give it a try next time when it's a week day.

I absolutely love this place! The people here are always so welcoming and kind. Their cookies are out of this world! Their cupcakes and cakes are delicious as well. I have gotten several cakes and desserts from Boulder Baked and I am never disappointed. Although, my favorite item, the cinnamon roll bread pudding has been MIA the last few times I've been in. I really hope they didn't get rid of it, because it is amazing! Great bakery and great people. Get a box of cookies to take home, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Alway super polite. I love everything here with the exception of the brownies - not that they are bad but I like mine a bit under done and gooey. I come here for every special occasion and some times just to get a quick 6 cookies to treat myself. Coffee is stellar too!

Good eatery well east of bustling Boulder proper. The venue has tables and seating indoors and outdoors and long hours, thus must have a crowd at some point. I was the only one there and ate in because of the rain and I was on bicycle heading to Lafayette.

This cookie snob thought you'd never find a tastier cookie than Insomnia Cookie and boy was I wrong! This no frills bakery boasts baked-to-order cookies in some of the most delicious combinations (including vegan and gluten-free) you can imagine. The cookies can be purchased individually, sold as a four pack, half and full dozen, in a box of 9 (whaaat?), and 18 (called the Sweet 16). Cookie of the Month - November '19: Apple Cider Snickerdoodle We tried the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup, Brown Butter Maple, and Mexican Chocolate. If you couldn't tell, I love all things chocolate and peanut butter, and those warm and gooey cookies did not disappoint, but I think overall my favorite was the Mexican Chocolate. It had the most unique flavor explosion, while the others tasted exactly as my taste buds expected them to. I look forward to returning and trying their other flavors like, oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal butterscotch walnut chocolate chip, sugar M&M, and funfetti. Not a cookie person? Boulder Baked also has perfected the cupcake with original and unique flavors like tiramisu, s'mores, apple pie, and hot fudge brownie. These can be purchased as regulars or minis. Looking for something bigger? How about a slice of one of their cakes! They have a dozen options including New York, Pumpkin, and black and white. You can buy a whole cake in 9", 7", and 4". They also have pies, ice cream and brownies, sundaes, milkshakes, and coffees. Don't have a sweet tooth? Boulder Baked also makes a variety of grilled cheeses, Mac and cheese, and soups. I highly highly highly recommend including Boulder Baked on your tour of Boulder.

BEST COOKIES EVER!! We initially ordered the chocolate chip and chocolate chip explosion cookie! They were both so good and we went back to buy another one. The owner was so nice and brought us 4 cookies with new flavors to try! They are all amazing and would recommend everyone to go!

This was a cozy and intimate stop after a elite event. The shop feels like a coffee shop but they bake cookies! We got a fresh cookie and two red velvet cupcakes. The cupcakes were delicious and the cream was a perfect mix to the rich cake. The cookie took a bit longer to come out but was very soft and chewy. The chocolate chips were savory and you could clearly tell it was homemade. I want to go and try the peanut butter next. The table next to us got a huge ice cream sundae! They have a ton of different food that sounded great.

I've never had a better vegan/GF cupcake than at Boulder Baked. Somehow nothing is cut--the cupcake isn't dry at all, and the flavor of the pumpkin spice cupcake is extremely rich too. Long wait time for the fresh cookie, but that was also amazing. Definitely check in if it becomes 20+ min.

Oh man I LOVE this place! I think they're cupcakes, cookies, and Mac n cheese is to DIE for! Though I will admit I loveee sugar- the more the better! And for my boyfriend, he doesn't like sugar nearly as much as I do, so when it comes to both our preferred cupcake place, he'd rather have someplace that has cupcake's with a little less sugar. But I'll keep coming back here till they have to roll me through the door (because I've eaten too many of their delicious cupcakes ).

Cake so soft, so moist, so perfect. This bakery is definitely something i make time for if i am visiting Boulder. Lots of different options from cupcakes, icecream, to freshly baked cookies! If i lived closer to this place i would come daily, its THAT good! Check them out if you got a sweet tooth :)

We've been coming here for years and love their cookies. We used to go on Pearl Street, but now use their East Boulder location. There is way easier parking, and the cookies are still same old greatness. Would absolutely recommend. We always get half baked cookies because they are still a little squishy and perfect when they're fresh. I've also tried their grilled cheese which is amazing.

I've been here a few times since moving to town. First for the cookies and vegan cupcakes, then back again and again for their soup and sandwiches. This past weekend a friend and I came in late night for grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was quite busy which I hadn't suspected. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the vibe was quite mellow and chill which surprised me considering the time and the proximity to the downtown bar scene. I was blown away at the perfection of the grilled cheese. Toasted to that golden brown, the texture ever so slightly challenging you as you bite down only to give way to ooey gooey cheese. The soup hot, thick, flavorful and delightful. I couldn't help but use the sandwich to ensure I got every last drop out of my bowl. I will most definitely be back for sweet treats and more warming flavorful food.

These cookies are my second favorite in the world. They're made to order - so you pick your flavors and they bake them right there. They come out warm and delicious, packed with flavor. Staff is always helpful and efficient. YOU MUST GO TRY IF YOU'RE IN BOULDER!

Came here after a brunch where we probably drank a bit too much and didn't eat enough lol! So naturally we had to get grilled cheeses and cookies!! I had never seen a Mac and cheese grilled cheese and being in my state of probably not making the most healthy decisions I went with it! It was cheesy and as decadent as you would expect. I am glad I tried it and absolutely enjoyed it, but I would probably go with something a bit less...extravagant next time haha. The cookies were also bomb. They have a ton of options and all are baked fresh to order. How cool is that. I brought some home for my bf and they were throughly enjoyed!

Such an awesome little family owned bakery! Their gluten free, vegan cupcakes are to die for. Their cookies are so good, you might never leave. If you're missing Boston, they offer Sammies! With GF bread and DF cheese options to boot! While you're waiting for your freshly baked cookie to be ready, you can chill in a cozy booth or draw on the construction paper they always have hanging using crayons that are always waiting on the tables. So great!

I came across this store on Yelp and all the cakes/cookies looked so delicious that I couldn't pass this up, but ended up being pretty disappointed. The S'mores cupcake needed more marshmallows or graham crackers, it just tasted like a chocolate cupcake. The Oreo cheesecake as well could have used a little more Oreo flavor. The most disappointing thing was the coffee. I had asked for iced and it came out hot. They gladly made me another but the iced coffee was awful! It tasted like watery milk with no coffee flavor. My friends got some coffee as well and all agreed theirs wasn't great. My friend did say the vegan and gluten free cupcake was delicious and moist though!

I ordered cupcakes for my cousins baby shower. I had requested ombré coloring. The cupcakes looked horrific and not appetizing at all, the frosting immediately started melting after being out for 20 minutes and not at all the aesthetic I was looking for. I would have been better off with grocery store cupcakes and saved a lot of money. Very disappointing.

The cookies are solid and best eaten immediately after they are moved from the oven to the pizza box carrying device. That being said, this newer location probably should operate as a ghost kitchen for delivery. Don't bother ordering coffee unless you want to get lukewarm slightly dark water (the guy at the desk seemed too, uh, baked to correctly operate the coffee maker). Seating is sparse as well so you might be better off waiting in your car for cookies. I like their original location downtown near Pearl Street and will likely only return there.

BOMB. This spot is exceptionally unique and so fun! I mean who doesn't love fresh cookies and every flavor of grilled cheese imaginable?? Seriously you can chose your favorite cookie and they bake it fresh within a few minutes. And you think whoa, I don't want to wait for these things to be cooked fresh, that would take too long. Yes, smelling the fresh cookie smell wafting out while you wait in torture is rough, but they have thought of something great. Board games! Put your cellphone down and play an old school board game while you wait -- it's so fun! The staff is super friendly -- even late night (we arrived around midnight). I wish we had a spot in Seattle that did something this simply delicious and spot on.

A very small and intimate little place, if you're here to fulfill that sweet tooth craving then you've come to the right place! Aside from the bakery goodness, this place had a lot of cool board games. So this would be the perfect hangout after a long night out with friends. My only thing is that the place is pretty tight and I think the tables and chairs take up a lot of room in an already tight place. The service was great and I would definitely come again to try out their grilled cheeses!

The cupcakes are perfection. I bought a variety pack and haven't been disappointed with any of them. I thought going in in the evening to purchase some they may be dry, they were not! The staff/ maybe owners were super helpful and kind. Coffee was great. I will be returning.
