A Cup of Peace in Boulder - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We went in for lunch right at 11, when they opened. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. The ambience could have used a bit of background music, but otherwise everything was excellent.

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is lovely and Cruz is very friendly and helpful.

WOAH! Best Korean curry, the most delicious jasmine boba…Like SO SO good. Hands down going to be a new fav spot for me, especially on rainy days like these :)

Delicious sundubu and bibimbap :) so happy to have found this place!

Loved their DubBob with the added fried egg. Also enjoyed the boba

The food was super bland and not traditional. They use two different kinds of zucchini just to be extra cheap. Too bad their price doesn't reflect the lack of care and love put into the food. Huge disappoint.

Goodness gracious this was so good. Laid back non pretentious vibe, friendly service and one of the most flavorful bulgogi bowls I've ever had. Try the house made kimchi too! So glad I found this spot

My fav restaurant in Boulder! The food is always so delicious. I get it to go a lot but it’s good at restaurant also. Pretty casual place! I say do the beef bulgogi and get a healing tea

We absolutely love the barbecue bowls! I get mine medium heat with tofu, and add a fried egg. It’s a really nice serving size, and the veggies are DELICIOUS! Lots of carrots, cabbage, and squash and amazing spice. I also love the ginger iced tea! Go get some today, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely delish. Popped in here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. All the standard Korean options, then a burrito for kicks (which you must try!). Significant amount of vegan options for the dishes since it's mostly "choose your protein destiny" style. It was a nice quiet place at lunch time, good for conversation. Also recommend their house healing tea - really rejuvenating. Food options have spice level availability.

Such a cute little korean place! I came here with my mom when she was visiting. The food was delicious and homey while the space felt modern and welcoming. Delightful experience

I ordered the chicken dubbob and it was very mediocre. A few hours after I ate it I discovered that the chicken was undercooked because I experienced very bad diarrhea

Very yummy food and great service! A hidden gem in Boulder for sure!

The food presentation is so gorgeous and colorful. They have a lot of allergy-friendly options!

I got a noodle bowl and some dumplings. The food was cooked and seasoned well. I went woth the medium spice and would recommend going spicy if you have any spice tolerance at all. The bowl portions are huge! There are tons of options if you need gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan selections

Delicious Korean food and friendly staff! Love the menu options. Will definitely be a regular.

First of all huge portions so great prices, second such amazing flavor, I got mild, bf got medium and we both thought spice was level was great. I tried his and spice was too much for me so I imagine hot is decently hot. Staff was very friendly. And dishes are gluten free which is great because I have celiac. I had the noodle bowl with beef and a Thai boba tea. Place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Decent Korean food. Sadly place is not that clean. Ordered the Dubbob bowl and it came out nice and hot (temp) good flavor but was a one note kind of dish, not as flavorful as in traditional Korean restaurants. Had good amount of chicken, veggies and rice. One big issue I experienced is the not so clean space. I had to ask the guy behind the counter to clean the table I was planning to sit at because it had rice and sticky stuff on the table. He proceeds to wipe it clean but ignores the 3 other tables around me that was not clean. They also had rice, wet spots and newspapers on top that he completely ignored. This makes for an unhygienic and unappetizing environment to dine in. There were only 2 other people at the time I was there so they weren’t busy at all. Also the area where you bus your plates and bowls was full of dirty dishes and was not cleaned up the one hour I was there. The dish I tried was good but would not come back here because they are lazy about cleaning up. I could just imagine how the kitchen is if this is how incompetent they are about cleaning up the dining room area. Do better! Having a clean restaurant should be a given!

Really great vegetarian options. LOVED the tofu soup, just what I needed on a cold overcast day. Will definitely be back!

Cute little Korean spot in Boulder. They have a lot of options for men's and they have a really great miso soup! I really like the bulgogi with beef, It was definitely a standout! There's lots of seating room and service is pretty quick as well.

Really disappointed with the quality of food here. Staff was friendly enough, but wow... i don't know what to say. The chicken was powdery, rice was undercooked (really odd choice to go with purple rice, if you can't prepare it properly) + the vegetables were super bland/tasteless. The curry tasted like tomato soup. (We ended up tossing everything). Please get your (one??) chef some training. Boba was too sugary/had a weird aftertaste, and the pastries tasted like they'd been left out for days. None of this tasted authentic in any way :( Huge let down for the price.

Weird place. Food is OK... Korean-ish, I guess. Pretty pricey (def. not 1× "$"). The meat patties used for "beef" dishes = really strange. They forgot the fried egg I ordered to top my dish, had to go ask for it. There are no drinks other than water and teas (& boba milk teas). The Thai tea was lame and overpriced for a small cup. The cherry on top -- they expect 23% tip when you pay (at time of ordering)... But here's the thing... there's no service. You order and pick up everything at the counter, and then you're expected to bus your table all the way into the back hallway (after which I forgot to grab my leftovers off the table before I walked out the door). Offensive, awkward, poor taste.

Delicous and wholesome food with a cool vibe. Bonus its afforable too!

The food is too bland for Asian taste buds. We ordered Dubbob and Bibimbab. They have almost the same ingredients and taste the same. They have no distinctive taste. The beef is great and I really like their purple rice.

Cup of Peace is modest and delicious, with friendly service and lots of tea. The interior is nothing fancy, but it always feels peaceful and calming, despite how many people are there. Food is top notch, with many organic ingredients and grass fed beef. Definitely a hidden gem.

Had high hopes for this place… The Thai Boba was so weak and disappointing. Waited 10 min and paid about 8$ for a small cup of slightly cold, bland tea, with too few tapioca pearls for my taste. All in all, Too expensive, not very tasty, 0 atmosphere, barely any decorations at all just felt like a room with a counter and some tables.

the egg tart at cup of peace is the best one i’ve ever had in my life. the crust is delicious and perfectly baked the filling is everything an egg custard should ever strive to be. this egg tart is the best pastry in Boulder. i will come here exclusively for my egg tart needs. re: food, the dukboki is good. their version of bibimbap is ok, it definitely seems healthy but i wasn’t a fan of the way they cooked their veggies, i felt it was a little over cooked. their chinese herbal tea is fantastic and authentic. their bean tea is good too. service is always great. atmosphere is nice, lots of seating. fyi it’s not like a traditional cantonese egg tart which is the one i’m most familiar with… but in my opinion it’s BETTER.

I'm not convinced the people who made my meal have ever tasted Korean food... The bulgogi tastes like it has a tomato base rather than gochujang. That plus the bell peppers that were randomly in there made this read more like an Italian dish, especially because the salad was mostly spinach and had... Balsamic vinegar? Not a single thing I tasted was fermented and the milk tea was very weak as well. Super disappointed for the 30+ dollars I spent when I was craving Korean food.

Unfortunately my food was not good. Meal tasted like it was put in the microwave

The Dubbob was incredible. The flavor and spice were excellent, plus the presentation was nice. Really kind and welcoming staff too - a great dine-in experience!

Very chill spot with great gluten free food

I ordered a double tofu bulgogi, when I got home it was tofu and beef. Of course they stop answering the phone at 8, so not replacing it that night. Left them a message to please refund my money, haven’t heard a peep back, it’s been a week. Unacceptable. Not how business should be done. Avoid this one like the plague.

Not authentic Korean food! Not sure what it is. If you are used to eating Korean food, you will be disappointed. The flowery reviews here are from those who have never tried authentic Korean food.

FIRST OF ALL, the ratings staying up around 4.3 is a sham. As a person who lived in South Korea for 10 years(and ethnically a South Korean myself), it's really disappointing that Suhn(sundubu in korean) has zucchini and bell pepper; for a korean tofu soup, that choice is outrageous(in addition, the soup looked like murky sh!t. How is it not common sense giving out a bowl of rice as a side when you order soups??? Putting a load of sasame seeds on every food doesn't make them better. If you want to provide a korean experience for the Americans(and for God's sake, some good food for Koreans), please please please scrap all the dubbob and burrito stuff and bring out some authentic Korean menus. I sincerely plead that you restaurant peoples to heed these words. Thank you.

The kimchi fried rice was to die for. Really delicious. I really enjoyed the Korean curry as well. In total my table ordered and shared 5 different items all which were good. We have picky eaters and everyone liked more than one dish.

The food was just really bland so i was a little disappointed since it was kinda pricey

구글 리뷰 처음 써보는데 식당에서 너무 감동 받아서 이렇게라도 사장님께 인사드리고 싶었어요. 눈 오는 날 떡볶이가 너무 먹고 싶어서 출장으로 방문한 볼더에서 찾아간 곳인데!!진짜 너무너무 맛있습니다ㅠㅠ다음 일정 때문에 한번밖에 못 간 게 너무 아쉬울 정도예요..한국인 사장님과 외국인 직원분들이 계시고 저희가 한국어로 대화하니 너무 반가워하면서 나와서 인사해주시고 필요한 건 없는지 따뜻하게 챙겨주셨어요🥹💕너무 행복한 날이었습니다 한국분들 꼭 방문해보세요! This restaurant is genuinely a healthy and joyful place! All the staff members are friendly, and the interior of the restaurant is clean and inviting. The taste of the food was, without a doubt, the best I've had in Boulder. My husband has difficulty digesting gluten, but after our meal here, we experienced very comfortable digestion. The vegan menu options are also excellent, especially the dumplings!! These dumplings are absolutely amazing. You must try them. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Great food, nice portions, pleasant and helpful staff

I ordered a black milk tea with boba, but it mostly tasted like the milk. I asked him to fix it for me and he added more black tea, which was kind. Turns out that their pre-brewed tea is just kind of weak, compared to the freshly brewed black tea I'm used to. I loved the soft jazz music they played, and the atmosphere is fine- they could use some comfy chairs, IMO. Next time I would love to try some of the menu items they have.

Food was so delicious! Highly recommend this place. Noodle bowl and yea was great!

This fast casual place has excellent food. I’m not an expert in Korean food but it was among the best I’ve had. The 2 of us got bulgogi and noodle bowl with chicken and tofu and we loved both. Medium spice is fairly spicy and the servings were large. Lots of veggies too.

The food is good. I particularly like the Sundubu soft tofu soup and kimchi fried rice with an egg. Only downside is it's a touch expensive...

Walked in & saw the hand written menu, knew it was going to be good. 10/10 flavor. Big portions. Will be back!

Good tea selection, including boba. Nice quiet place to relax and sip your drink. Tyler is helpful and wonderful.

I love this place. It has a cozy atmosphere, fresh ,light food, and really great teas. It’s my favorite lunch spot in Boulder. It is a bit pricey but the portions are so large and the quality is good, so I think it is worth it!

Boba is awful and was $7 for a small… if you want good boba go to Hmart.

My favorite recent discovery. I just love their dishes. Just a warning this place might become addictive!

I ordered the kimchi fried rice, miso, and a side of kimchi Togo. It was kimchi fried rice but that’s it. The kimchi was on the sour and rubbery side of things. The miso soup was kinda bland. Overall, it satisfied my craving but lacked the depth of flavor I love when you add sesame oil, fish sauce, etc. $18 felt excessive for rice and kimchi.

My go-to for food that makes me feel better. If I need a recharge I go here. They also make great kimchi.

Incredible vegan and gluten free options

Food was great! Friendly satff and service. i highly recommend this place.

For the vegan options and when I can't cook or don't want to, I love this place... so much that if they had stock, I would be primary shareholder. I like the food for how simple, clean, and consistent it is. I think they could knock $2 off the cost of all their teas and such, but that's about my only complaint.

Best Korean food inside Boulder. Their Chicken Dub Bob my favorite for flavor, protein, and vegetables. Great price for the amount of food they give you.

delicious food and so many vegan options!

The food was super bad. Super bad. The people there were nice.

Friend and I went here on a whim and gotta say it's a new fav easily. Loved that everything was (gf) and I could easily switch up the milk options with my Boba which was nice. I got the Korean curry and it was really good I recommend trying it though I wish a bit more meat was given and it was thicker like I'm more used to but still pretty good! The Tteokbokki wasn't bad and absolutely hit the spot and craving I have been having. Was it the absolutely best - no. However it was pretty dang good so just grab it if you have a hankering for it and don't want to make it at home. Next time I'll do spicy instead of mild. The Boba was good though I think there may have been a tad too much ginger or peppercorn in mine as it was pretty dang spicy for a chai that I wasn't used to but still good so eh. Either way I'll be back here when I am up again. Definitely try it out.

I was so happy to find this gluten free Korean spot after the gluten free market in Louisville. The bulgogi was great but I wasn’t a fan of the tofu soup. The soup was just a little bland and wasn’t what I was expecting. The homemade kimchi was good and I’ll definitely be coming back to try some other dishes! Seems like a great option if you’re vegan or dairy free too!

Came here after I saw a Groupon for $10 and the menu looked different and healthy. Got there as they opened. A couple outdoor tables and few more inside. Small but nicely varied menu. Got the Korean bbq bowl with tofu, mixed green instead of the rice and asked for side of kimchi with the bowl medium spicy. They had issues with the Groupon but still took care of me then with a cash back. Prepared fast to go. Owner tried to give me a cookie for the troubles but since I got the deal price in the end it felt wrong but I thanked her. While the dish had a bit more carrots then I would have liked to have it was a lot of food. The tofu was fairly small pieces but there was a lot of them in there. No kimchi on the side as I requested but I wonder if it was added as that was another option. The medium was a bit tame for my love of spice so next time will go hot. Good healthy food for the price so I will return. Only giving four stars due to wanting to go again soon and see if consistency. Then I will change to five. So if you see five…

We absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff is always accommodating and very nice.

This place is amazing. Highly recommended! I got the noodles and I’m excited to come back and try more.

I love everything about this place! The food is so healthy and yummy! Most everything is gluten free and made fresh. Service is fabulous too. My favorite lunch spot in boulder.

Super tasty! Lots of vegan options and delicious tea!

This is a beloved, go-to spot for me, takeout or dine-in, lunch or dinner. The food is always delicious, they have a variety of teas if you are just in the mood for a beverage, and the price can't be beat for a healthy meal bursting with flavors. The menu only has a handful of options and it takes a little while for food to be ready, as everything is freshly made. There are minimal staff and attention to detail isn't always there; You may want to check your order, since I have had multiple mixups in the past and it stinks to get home with your takeout and realize It's wrong. I'm sure I could gush about more good things, but I'd worry this spot will get super busy! As it is, you can usually walk right up and order, unless it's peak lunch on a weekday.

Bibimbap pretty flavourless and cold. Warming the bowls (and the food) before serving would go a long way. If the veg had some spice and there was kimchi, it could even be redeemed.

A very cute spot with aesthetic and delicious food

I’ve only had Korean food one other time in my life so I was really excited to try it here. It was okay- the bibimbob with tofu didn’t have much flavor and was a very small portion. The dumplings were not my favorite but they were okay. The tteokbokki was very good though. Loved the chai boba ! I’d definitely come back for that but maybe not for a meal.

Not the best. Bibimbap was just soggy vegetables and tteokbokki was really unseasoned. I would only come here for their chai tea latte.

Very very meh! used to be good a couple of years ago but was not very good this time around. I would skip it and go somewhere that uses seasoning.

This place is so delicious and delightful. thank you for a healthy and delicious meal I feel so nourished

It's not often you spend $40 on two entrees, take a few bites, and send the food to a new home as compost to hopefully someday help grow tasty edible food for the future. In fact, I don't recall ever having done so before. I've driven by this place for years and we were craving some Korean food one night. A 4.3/5 rating seemed like a safe bet. I learned my lesson: ALWAYS read both the ends of the review spectrum. Had I done so I would have been warned that the food here tastes nothing like any authentic Korean food I've ever had. Or even a bad attempt at Korean food. Not really like any food I've ever had. It was just not good. There was a strange, un-food-like flavor that permeated everything - even the lettuce. WHY?!? Chicken was dry. Bulgogi the beef was not. And pretty flavorless across the board.

Very friendly restaurant and tea house! Friendly staff and authentic Korean food!

Awesome Food! We went there on a whim. They have organic and vegan options. Everything is gluten-free. We loved the taste of the food. We ordered medium spicy, but figured that we can handle spicy here. I will definitely go back here.

Got the bulgogi. Nothing like traditional korean bulgogi. Extremely spicy. Unable to detect true bulgogi grilled sweet salty beef. More like a beef stir fry. Tasty but not bulgogi.

Went here for Korean food. The tofu soup was a thin broth with a few slices of zucchini and a few pieces of tofu floating in it. Nothing like the real thing. The fried rice was very underseasoned and mushy. We won't be back. The people working there were nice, though. Might be ok if you're only coming for tea.

An amazing experience and most of the food is gluten free. I had the Bulgogi Bowl and it was to die for my family had the noodle bowl and it looked absolutely sublime. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and quiet a great place to unwind.

I was having a really bad day, and was also very sick. I stopped here and the girl was so nice. I got chicken and tofu soup w rice noodles and the citrion honey tea. Gave me my smile back. Thanks :)

The customer service was so friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.

Wow! First time here on a whim. Didn't realize it was more than a tea shop! Great food choices. Everything is gluten free! Tons of Vegan options. Large portions of fresh food. I can't wait to go back.

Incredible vegan Korean dishes. Spicy and with meat and eggs if that’s your thing too

AMAZING!! someone from boulder recommended this to me while traveling. Noodle bowl, with fried egg and the healing tea. Go!

Greasy bland veggies served with a chopped up hamburger? Friendly service.. but not gonna happen again. At least the grains were healthier option. Boba tea was watery milk lacking flavor of any kind.

Amazing food, felt very safe for a celiac. I got to have a burrito, which hasn't happened in awhile! Delicious. My burrito was huge and my husband's curry was a very generous portion all for $28 (before tip)

My bibimbap was tragically made- mushy rice, an odd assortment of veggies (no kimchi, only unpickled zucchini and squash, carrots, some stirfried red cabbage and... I think it's pickled turnips?), and beef that's closer to under-seasoned Afghani beef kebab than Korean beef. When I noticed they gave me a *tiny* container of what I thought was gochujang with my meal, I asked for more and got what they called "hot sauce", which was a mix of watered down gochujang and... something else. If you come here, stick to the boba.

Expensive and not very special. Stomach was upset. Will never go again

Reasonable ambiance, but the food is horrible: beef bulgogi made w/ chopped up hamburger patty & less tasty than fake beef. The rice was also heavily seasoned and doesn't retain any rice flavor. Prototypical Boulder "ethnic" (white washed) eatery.

If you want traditional Korean food, this is not.

This place is amazing and has a sweet selection of gluten-free items as well as vegan.

I had the miso kimchi and tofu. Very flavorful and light. Very tasty!

Horrible service and horrible food

I thought the food was pretty tasty. My dining partner ordered the Dup Bob, and I ordered the Bibim Bob with a side of kimchi. We also ordered some dumplings, which I also enjoyed.

Vegetarian & Gluten Free Options are Delicious

If I can give zero star I would. First of all, the service is non-existent. The server doesn't even know soondubu has tofu in it when the title literally means soft tofu soup. The food is just not good at all. The flavors are not Korean, maybe they are fresh, but then I could also just go eat grass if I want fresh. The bubble tea tastes like diluted milk water. Honestly, just drive 10 mins and go to hmart and buy their ready to eat food and will be 10 times cheaper and better.

I went to this place once when I was very young, and have been driving past it for a little while, always thinking "I need to go back there." I finally did and my god, I have been missing out! First off, the vibe of this place is amazing. It feels so chill and laid-back with amazing staff that is so sweet! The food here is so good, I'm not joking when I say this is my fav Korean place ever. I got the Bqq tofu and with in 10 minutes, it was gone (I'm a bit of a fast eater 😅). The strawberry boba was so amazing. I haven't had that good of strawberry milk in a longggg time. Everything was cooked perfect. The Vegan/Vegetarian options are amazing. I can not recommend a place more.

This by far was one of the most disappointing places I've been to for korean food here in Boulder. My significant other and I had each of our own dishes (he got the noodle bowl and I had the bulgogi dish). Needless to say, our protien was that of a meatball. His noodles were bland and over cooked and just had a dash of spice. I basically got a platter of greasy onions and overcooked rice for my meal. I've been to other places down in Aurora (Korean BBQs) that are 100x better and would not recommend this place to anyone who is craving korean food. The vibe is immaculate, and eco-friendly, but the food is a 0/10.

Really bothers me that 'Peace' is in their name while they serve the body parts of peaceful, innocent beings.

Love this place! Delicious food, great atmosphere, healthy and eco friendly too.

Really awesome korean lunch menu. It's tasty and filling

The food is pretty good. I think the suhn tofu soup could have had more tofu/veggies, it was very broth heavy. The purple rice was fresh and very good. The traditional korean table setting is good, but fairly plain. This is not the most authentic Korean restaurant, but there's quite a few vegan options which is awesome.

A great place for gluten free folks like myself to get tasty Korean food. I love their kimchi and am so glad I can buy a pint of it to take home with me. So far I’ve had their Kimchi fried rice and the Dub Bob which chicken and really enjoyed both! I’m looking forward to trying everything on the menu.

There is pretty much never a time when I'm not craving their burrito or kimchi fried rice. Great mix of heat, flavor and a nice crunch.
