Expanded by purchasing Java Joe's at the Public Market
Boulder Coffee Co. opened in July 2005 serving a need for coffee and community in the South Wedge. Since that time, two new outlets have been opened, one in the Public Market (the former home of Java Joe's coffee) and another at Brooks Landing. All of the Boulder outlets serve coffee roasted at their Market location. The South Wedge and Brooks landing locations also serve a limited selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Boulder's baked goods include cookies, panini sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, spanakopita, and sweets.
Boulder has a good selection of tables (large and small), couches and comfy chairs, and they offer free Wi-Fi (ask a barista for a password). There is also an ATM inside. A stage features a piano, amplifier setup, and regularly hosts small shows, open mic nights, and other free events. A list of the 'regular' event nights is below, and a calendar lists upcoming and past events. Boulder also has a large outdoor patio area with table and chairs and a fire pit. In warmer weather, the patio is a great place to relax by the fire with a drink, alcoholic or not.
Parking at the South Wedge location is available next to Boulder, off of Alexander Street.
Boulder's owners - Lyjha & Jillian Wilton - also own dozens of other apartments and houses in the neighborhood.

History
Boulder Exterior looking across Alexander Street, 7-2008
Boulder Coffee Co was opened in July 2005. Just a year after Boulder opened a pickup truck crashed through the front window and façade, knocking out a front corner of the building. Boulder closed for 2-1/2 weeks (story:
Democrat & Chronicle '06.7.27) and reopened August 14, 2006 with a new counter, layout, and a temporary bulkhead, (story:
Democrat & Chronicle '06.8.15) although the building still needed repairs. Unable to find matching bricks, Lyjha replaced broken bricks with interior bricks, and then hidden interior bricks with new bricks.
The BoulderFest premier on August 19th & 20th, 2006 opened under rain. Planning for the 2007 fest continues.
In January 2007 the scaffolding came down from the repairs, to reveal a new stage and all-glass façade.
On March 16 2008, Boulder was hit by an SUV. This was the fourth time that a motor vehicle has crashed into the building. (story:
RNews 2008-03-17)
On July 16, 2008, Boulder was hit yet again by a vehicle trying to swerve out of the way of a car running a red light. This makes the total of times the building was hit to 5. No structural damage has occurred with the exception of a few exterior bricks.
Awards
Boulder was voted "Best Open Mic" in City Newspaper's 'Best Of' Awards in 2008.2
