I'm grading on a curve because this is a small place inside a courthouse with one employee. I was "trapped" here for a few days when serving on a jury, but I was very plesantly surprised by the quality of the food and the friendiness of the service! The sandwiches were made fresh, and the burritos looked good too. I heard no complaintns from my fellow jurors. My last day serving I had a long lunch and plenty of time to leave the courthouse and go somewhere else, but I was happy to just eat there.

So obviously some of these reviews are fake, I am unsure why the owners are getting attacked via Google reviews, but the sandwich was good enough that I felt like leaving a review. The new owners are very nice and I had a veggie sandwich. I forgot its proper name on their menu but I was happy to see that they had a couple of vegetarian friendly options on their menu. The food was good quality and the veggies were fresh. The location was clean, cleaner than most sandwich shops I have been to. (I used to work in the medical field and became a bit of a germaphobe, so I was really glad to see how clean it was, as most sandwich places are lacking in cleanliness.) They had a good selection of drinks in stock and I found their prices to be extremely fair, especially considering how hard inflation has also hit businesses. Just saying, if my Starbucks drink went up two full dollars this year, than I am unsure how this restaurant is keeping their prices as low as they are. I normally spend 15-18 on a sandwich and the sandwich I ordered was only around 10, and it was PACKED with goodies. They didnt skimp on the sauce, cheese, or veggies, like other places do. I recommend this place and honestly take most of these negative reviews with a grain of salt. You can tell that several of them are fake.

These guys are great. My sandwiches are always good and fresh. They get busy and still they are helpful. The lunch rush can take a few more minutes but that is understandable. This is a new business and they have made big improvements over the last one. If you have suggestions on what you want to see there, they are open to hear them.

Great sandwiches! The guys that run this shop put a lot of effort into the menu and service. They offer unique snack & beverage options too. Prices are reasonable and the service is fast & friendly. Best tuna sandwich I’ve ever had!! Don’t believe the reviews mentioning waitresses - this is a small establishment in the Boulder county courthouse.

It's not often you find places that truly care about their customers these days. The 3 times I've been here to the Canyon Cafe have been great experiences. The menu options are very carefully crafted to have refined and complimentary flavor profiles while using high quality ingredients. Yet, if you compare the service, food quality, and prices, they have an ideal combo of the 3. Many places in Boulder are overpriced with poor service and mediocre food. Here you have great food and service for a reasonable price. I will certainly be eating here again when I'm in the area!
