"This roastery supplies plenty of Denver establishments, but its Boulder cafe is worth a visit. Sip some single-origin espresso or a cardamom-rose latte, enjoy a fresh-baked croissant or peach fritter from the onsite bakery, and take the time to browse — Boxcar shares its cozy Pearl Street space with wine and gourmet shop Dedalus. (A second location is set to open in the Table Mesa Shopping Center soon.)" - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

Excellent coffee prepared well. Come for the espresso, stay for the pastries. Mourn the former Daedalus deli that is out of biz in the same location. Worth the wait (but come off peak if possible). Chairs are all uncomfortable and encourage moving on promptly.

Cozy small coffee shop with fine coffee and pastries to start your morning. I had a trip for Rocky Mountain National Park and had been in cities around (Estes Park, Allenspark, Nederland, Grand Lake, Greatby Lake, and etc.) and couldn’t find any place that can beat Boxcar! They offers seasonal drink that you might want to give it a try. Pastries is a must. I had a butter croissant and wanted to try couple more. But the line was getting longer than I anticipated (~8AM). So I ended up dreaming about it 🤤. The place is shared with Dedalus Wine where they also sell cheese, chocolate, salami and etc.

Boxcar offers the highest quality coffee experience out of everywhere in Boulder. Any hot drink from Boxcar is outstanding. My personal favorites are the lattes and hot chocolates. They also have pastries and other baked goods. It’s more expensive than most other coffee shops on Pearl Street, but the higher quality product makes up for it. They also have a store with many different types of coffee and other gifts.

Try the Cardamom Rose Latte to kick off the end of summer/beginning of fall. Great space to work. One negative was the flies on the baked goods- but that’s hard to control when the shop is busy. I’ll be back!

I always stop here when I’m in Boulder. Great shop with quality baristas and there’s always a single origin espresso option, which I really appreciate. Cute vibes inside with lots of plants, and usually enough seating indoors. Definitely worth a visit!

Great coffee and a solid stop for fuel (coffee & food & snacks) on the way from Denver to RMNP!

Really good coffee! The pour over was high quality. There's also a couple of other shops sharing the same space so you can also get wine, cheese, and salami.

A pleasant atmosphere, and great coffee. Boxcar Coffee indeed gets great beans and knows how to brew it. Coffee lovers will appreciate the baristas’ skills and knowledge in coffee. The place, however, can get very crowded. It’s obvious because it’s the top coffee place in Boulder, but won’t give you that great “Quiet Coffee Time”. They also sell some fresh meats which is a bit weird because it’s a coffee house, not a chophouse. Despite my negative observations, this is the go-to coffee house in Boulder.
