Breadworks Bakery & Cafe - Boulder, Colorado

Bread and pastries are good and pricey. However, I don’t understand the attitude of the staff towards customers? The woman making sandwiches was very offended when I asked for my $15 sandwich to be cut in half. Does this company underpay their employees? They have the nerve to ask for a tip at checkout when I ordered my food to go, waited a long time for my sandwich and the employees are hostile.

Such a yummy spot to have in our community! I always, always find something amazing and healthy to eat and I love that they keep the menu changing. The golden mushroom soup is incredible! Always a delicious delight to stop here!

I understand that at times their offerings are not great for the price which is a shame because the food is generally quite good.
I especially love their breakfast items, quiche and spinach pie, as well as their salmon, chicken salad to-go and soups! I cannot eat much gluten anymore unfortunately but love their bread and fruit tarts.
Recently seems like they have more staff, hope they can hold on to them, this place is a Boulder staple!
I appreciate their Jewish holiday offerings as well

This place!
I want to love it

But it doesn’t let me

TheIr spinach pie is great…but when you try to order anything else you get thwarted by nobody managing the consistency of the food they put out

After five years of taking a break from the annoying lack of care, I’ve been here six weeks in a row… To meet a friend who lives in North Boulder.

This is our halfway point this morning. I thought I would break out a spinach pie so I went to the soup counter sometimes the soups are yummy… But today the three flavors did not taste great to me.
So I moved to the hot food line… I got the spinach pie… And the side kale salad.

Just so you know I always order salad with 130 amount of dressing. I don’t like dressing. But when I started choking on the dry cow. I went back to the counter and asked if there was any dressing. She said she have no dressing.
I asked if there was dressing already in the shower she said there was I suggested it wasn’t enough. She said they didn’t have any left. Is anybody in the kitchen tasting this food? If they have a salad with no discernible dressing… Should they put it out anyway? Obviously they should and they do.

I augmented this meal with a pop-over from the bakery counter.
The pop-over was so over cooked that the crust peeled off of the rest of the pop over.

Again, is there any quality control happening in the kitchen?

I am done here… I can’t come back and spend $20 on in her edible food

Great pastries, and I love the a la carte healthy breakfast options. More down to earth than most of the breakfast/lunch spots in Boulder. I like that

I love to come here for their great soups. For about $5 you can get soup with a few slices of bread. However, this summer there hasn’t been air-conditioning. The staff told me it has been broken for months. They are clearly uncomfortable working in the heat and I found it uncomfortable to be there. I really miss the fresh salad bar. Also the place is getting run down. There’s a huge buckle in the floor near the bathrooms that is a serious trip hazard; the finish on several of the laminated tables is messed up — at first I thought it was caked-on food. I’ve been really sad to see how the place is neglected and going downhill. This has been one of my favorite lunch places for years, but the heat and neglect is getting too much for me. I truly hope the management gets back on top of things and brings it back to its former, better days. There are so many great places in Boulder, it’s going to be hard to compete. I would truly hate to lose BreadWorks…

We used to eat lunch here three times a week. But we realized that the three soups only change rarely. The past fewweekd and probably before then the same exact soups were served for seven days. This is a health hazard. Food should not be reheated after two days max. Unfortunately we won’t be going to Breadworks anymore. It used to be our fav place. Now we are afraid that se will get sick, plus who wants to eat the same soup every day. Why did Breadworks change so badly

It’s kind of like Panera Bread but more bare bones and expensive. Also a bit cooler looking and less commercial.

The design is not very straight forward for a first time customer because things aren’t always clearly labeled, and the system isn’t so straight forward so you just have to kind of figure it out as you go.

The staff can be a bit stand off ish but also really nice.
