Gorgeous day today in Boulder! Found my Zen today at Pekoe Boulder Cafe in the Ideal Marketplace on Alpine.Ordered a 'Peace of Mind' - Peppermint Tea, White Chocolate & Steamed Milk. Perfection at it's best 👌 Mixed with Flatiron Views and the warmth of the Boulder Sun.Feeling Blessed 🙏

Chill atmosphere on a midweek afternoon. The music is upbeat and not too loud. Convenient outlets on the bench. Good parking, but only for 2 hours. The strawberry rhubarb muffin contained a fun filling surprise. It was tasty, but a bit pricey at $4.25. The silver needles tea reminder me of the smell of dried grass in the summer. Inside tip; The sugar is hidden in a drawer on the left end of the counter.

I crave their original boba tea. It is the perfect balance of sweet and tea and milk. I just tried something there yesterday and my taste bud mind is blown. They make a banana pudding that is scru- deliumptious. If you love banana pudding this is something you must try. I always thought my grandma's banana pudding was the best. Sorry Grandma you move to a silver medal this Pekoe banana pudding you would appreciate. It's gold medal quality. I haven't really sat in Pekoe and chilled. I usually just get my boba to goba. I think it's a nice environment though. They have random gifts if you have to buy a friend a gift that already has everything.

This place is a gem hidden in the little shopping center next to Ideal Market. The teas and coffee are always great and I also love the delicious little breads and pastries they have. I must say this place is also relatively inexpensive and the service I get is always very friendly. I will be a regular coming in several times a week from here on out!

Exceptional place to your cafe self on! All your standard espresso drinks plus boba, cold brew, tea, blended drinks. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating, nice view, solid service - and good order & pickup flow. Clean & modern (vs. old w/ personality). Ideal in many ways, AND open fully now, vs. most other cafes still wrapped in fear despite clear covid status. Very well done!

Good coffee and stuff. They gave me a to go cup. I was expecting a coffee cup with a pretty design of a flower or something 🤷🏽‍♂️

I can't not say enough about this lovely little place. Excellent, warm and efficient service. Fantastic tea (I had the delicious and restorative Evening Solace herbal). Truly delicious black bean burrito. And, try the goddess bar- it's like a buttery, brown sugar kissed blonde brownie. Magical.Parking: Large parking lot, located in a strip mall but definitely not your mother's strip mall. Well actually, it may be because the architecture of this Marketplace is probably late 50s, just enough neon, spacious, with a dozen or so delightful shops, as well as the ideal Market and a wine shop.

I love pekoe so much! Drinks are always amazing, and I love the staff. They are all incredibly friendly and typically remember my order when I come in. Go here if you want a wonderful and kind atmosphere

Great space with an awesome selection. The coffee is a bit over roasted IMO, but the views on the patio make up for it.

We’ve been going to pekoe for years. They closed the other locations and I think this one is under new ownership now. We’ve always had good experience going here. Sometimes they get the order a bit wrong (ie they put oat milk instead of what we asked for, coconut milk). But they’re always nice and happy to fix it if we ask. My daughters has allergies so we try to be as specific as possible to avoid any errors. Their boba drinks are great.

The staff here are very friendly! I was one of the last customers before closing and they offered me tea, cookies, and the last of the coffee before leaving. It can get crowded but there are also the tables on the patio to relax in. Good boba tea and selection of beverages. Its always good to go local and Pekoe is a nice alternative to Starbucks and mega chains.

Stopped in wanting a scone. Introduced to a peach bread pudding. Excellent flavor, fresh and nicely warmed. Look forward to seeing you once again next week. Hope you'll have some waiting. Delicious - very impressive.

Cute place with good drinks and food. Stopped here randomly while at a shop nearby and it was a good choice. I loved the pastry I got. Parking is super easy, and the employees were friendly and quick. Store has cute seating inside.

I stop here regularly on my way into work. Always friendly and quick service, super tasty oatmilk lattes. They also have vegan bubble tea, which is incredible. Love their horchata chai in particular and also their matcha. Really you can't go wrong. I appreciate their rewards program as well which allows me to get a free drink now and again. Plus they have a great patio with some pretty legit views of the flatirons to admire while you get your caffeine fix.

Their tea is so delicious and they really care about it too. The cafe has a happy uplifting vibe. I always enjoy my time there, and I think their drinks are the best in town, just wish it was open earlier on the weekends.

This place has a lot of sentimental value to me. I used to come here everyday to study, and I would order a nice, steaming, hot chai tea, or when I wanted something different, I'd order the Calm Sensation (tea latte). The drinks here are very good, and you can get a lot of work done as there is a lot of room to sit. Hopefully this place will treat you well, like it has done to me.Pros:-Atmosphere-Drink quality-Lots of room to sitCons:-None

Cute cafe with fast service and good drink and food options, but the boba was overcooked and prices were higher than anywhere else in town. It’s cheaper to just pay for parking on the Hill and go to Lollicup. It was also crazy loud while I was there, so though the decor is inviting and more conducive to a sit down experience than Lollicup, I ultimately wouldn’t stay here to work, study, or hang out with friends given the volume.

I wasn't too impressed with this Pekoe. I've been to the other location on 30th St and felt that one was a little better. The drinks here are average and a little over priced for the quality of tea they have. I came on a Thursday afternoon around 1:30pm and this place was about 2/3 filled. The back seating area looked dirty and run down. I didn't see anyone sitting in that area. I ordered their Chai Wallah and was not really impressed. The flavor of the chai was a little light. The tapioca pearls were not great. They were soft and mushy. I would not recommend getting any type of tapioca drink. I came here hoping to work since many reviews recommended that it was a nice place, but it was loud and difficult to work in that environment. Also note, if you want to enjoy sitting outside, the WiFi doesn't reach out there.

Really wanted to like this place but was super disappointed by the drink quality. I ordered a 12 oz matcha latte with oat milk (plus a flavor shot), which even at bougie Boulder places downtown is far less, with the price coming in at over 7$, plus tip. I couldn’t believe the price but figured it must be high quality. However, it was essentially watery plain oat milk (not a latte) that after a few sips I ended up dumping out. I couldn’t taste the matcha or the flavor shot whatsoever. I wanted to ask for a refund but didn’t have it in me. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

Stopped by for some coffee around 5pm on a Sunday, this was one of the few places I Googled that was still open. I ordered an Americano and my fiance ordered a chai latte. I was really impressed with their selection of teas and should have ordered one as I was unimpressed with my Americano. Not bad, just a little on the watery side and lacking in full flavor. Otherwise, a great place to come hang out and sip coffee or tea with indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service was good

Real nice place. Seems popular for how busy it was. Customer service was awesome. Took a while to get me smoothie but without me even complaining. The staff apologized for the wait and gave me a card for a free drink the next time I came. The drinks and smoothies were great!

Ordered tea with boba, forgot my boba. My friend ordered coffee, which they poured from a tub on their counter. Had a nice mouthful of coffee grounds at the end of my up. Disgusting. EDM plays violently over speakers, don’t come here to study. Asked me if I wanted to tip instead of letting me select it on their tablet which was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, good for a quick stop.
