Flagstaff House
At Flagstaff House, atop Flagstaff Mountain and overlooking downtown Boulder, the menu changes daily, so “you can dine with us over and over and never eat the same food,” said General Manger Adam Monette. This allows the Flagstaff House team to “cultivate dishes based off of local and seasonal availability” and “highlights the creativity, knowledge and skillset of Chef Chris Royster.” When paired with Flagstaff House’s wine list, a recipient of the “Wine Spectator Grand Award,” the hospitality and cuisine at Flagstaff House provide “a culinary journey unlike any other,” he said. A mainstay in Boulder for 49 years, Flagstaff House is “humbled by the endless memories created for our guests here at the Flagstaff House.” 1138 Flagstaff Road, Boulder, 303.442.4640, flagstaffhouse.com.

here to eat their dinner and their smiles,” Fan said. A lover of natural food, Fan steers clear of MSG and is happy to accommodate the dietary needs and choices of her customers. “We can prepare things gluten-free and made to order, and we can vary the spice level,” Fan said. Nothing is served from a can, and natural meats and fresh vegetables shine in China Gourmet’s most popular dishes. Fan’s Egg Foo Young features fried seasoned vegetables and egg patties topped with a garlic sauce, and the Mu Shu Chicken blends eggs, cabbage, carrots, onions and wood-ear mushrooms with a hoisin sauce and is served with authentic flour pancakes. 3970 N.

BEST FRENCH
Le French Café
Owners Agnes and Quentin Garrigou expressed excitement and gratitude for winning Boulder County Gold this year. Quentin gives big thanks to the Boulder community for all the support. “We were not expecting it, we are super happy, especially during this time because it’s pretty hard for everyone.” Instead of going for the fancy French cuisine vibe, Quentin said they’re more about a family-friendly vibe that dishes up simple foods with fresh ingredients. “Customers appreciate the prices and that it’s a family restaurant.” At Le French Café, staff take
pride in treating everyone like they are family. Want a top selling lunch item? Lyonnaise is the one. The large salad of mixed greens is topped with grilled onion, bacon, tomato, potatoes and a poached egg. Save room for dessert – if you have a weakness for French pastries. 2525 Arapahoe Ave., C-1, Boulder, 303.284.2265, lefrencafeboulder.com.

It’s not showy or pretentious, just solid Indian food.” Rai thanks the Boulder community for all the support and continued patronage, now, and over the past 24 years. Everyone at Taj appreciates all the continued take-out orders and kind words from customers who express their desire to support the success of this landmark restaurant in Boulder. 2630 Baseline Road, Boulder, 303.494.5216 tajindianboulder.com.

Despite all the changes restaurants have endured in recent months, Mulkey never lost sight of giving customers what they truly desire – an elegant meal at home. “I knew people would still want to pick up restaurant food.” And it helps to have menu items that stand the test of time where food delivery is concerned. “From scratch-made pasta and pizza, these things travel well and it’s hot when it arrives to your home.” The restaurant is open for those who still wish to enjoy the ambiance that goes with the dining experience. 808 Main St., Louisville, 303.666.6499, zuccalouisville.com.

BEST DELIVERY
Cosmo’s Pizza
No matter how you look at it, Cosmo’s Pizza delivers. For 19 years, the popular family-owned restaurant has been slinging up authentic New York-style pizza just the way we love it – hand-tossed, thin crust that’s just thick and crisp enough on the edges yet soft-and pliable beneath the toothsome sauce and toppings to be folded up and devoured. Known for its generous slices and fun flavors like its popular Spicy Ranch, Cosmo’s is as dedicated to quality delivery service as it is to dishing up great taste. “Our commitment to offering free delivery with our in-house delivery drivers allows us to retain quality control over every pizza we deliver,” says Owner Adam S. “The people make the place, and there is no better group of people than those on staff here at Cosmo’s.” 3117 28th St., Boulder, 303.442.3278; 1325 Broadway, #108, Boulder, 303.447.1133; 659 30th St., Boulder, 303.447.3278; 520 W.

The Sink
Can’t get enough of The Sink? You’re in good company. Since 1923, this Boulder staple has been wowing its patrons, including the likes of former President Obama and Chefs Antony Bourdain and Eric Ripert. Originally named Summer Sunken Gardens after a large, sunken fountain in the dining room, CU Alum John Pudlik officially renamed the popular restaurant to its affectionate nickname, “The Sink”. Now in its 98th year, The Sink has been a beloved gathering place, drawing all with its timeless artwork, funky vibe and most importantly its mouth-watering menu. Under the local ownership of the Heinritz family since 1992, The Sink has evolved into a hip hangout best known for its burgers – grassfed beef with all the fixings you can think of. Not into burgers? Not a problem. The Sink offers a mouth-watering variety sure to please all palates, from fresh, light salads to hearty dinners and irresistible pizza. Now offering pickup, curbside and delivery, you don’t have an excuse not to try The Sink’s award-winning food! 1165 13th St., Boulder, 303.444.7465, thesink.com.
Since opening in Erie in June, Birdhouse has soared as a taco, ramen, rum and tiki drinks paradise. “It’s weird but good, and our customers love the eclectic mix,” said Tony Firestine, Birdhouse associate director. “We are lucky to have a wide range of outdoor seating – both an outdoor and rooftop patio,” he said. “Our dining room and bar are also wide open with garage doors that let in plenty of fresh air.” For those stopping by, enjoy the daily happy hour, and customers dining in or carrying out will relish Tartare to start a meal. “Made with a daily rotating selection of fresh fish with avocado, cucumber and a Szechuan peppercorn vinaigrette,” Birdhouse’s Tartare is topped with a puffed sesame rice cracker. Another savory choice is the Tonkotsu, “one of our most popular styles of ramen with roasted pork and crispy onion finished with a little of our Birdhouse chili sauce,” Firestine explained. 526 Briggs St., Erie, 303.997.9630, eatatbirhouse.com.

Since 1967, the Greenbriar Inn has showcased a one-of-kind Colorado setting. The Inn’s large patios, fashioned with Lyons sandstone, are surrounded by expansive lawns, elegant flower and vegetable gardens, a waterfall, pond and picturesque woodlands, all framed by majestic mountain views. During the day, green and white umbrellas provide shade, and after dusk, lights twinkle from the trees. The ambiance is ideal for a romantic dinner date or relaxed Sunday brunch, as well as a charming wedding and private events space. Menus include the bistro, American classic dinner menu, Sunday brunch and a picnic menu for guests enjoying a fabulous meal by the pond. For an unforgettable experience, try Greenbriar Inn’s Colorado Beef Wellington or Lobster Tail with Seafood Ravioli, both complemented with selections from the Greenbriar Inn’s 900-label wine cellar. Philip Goddard, owner and manager, said, “The freshness and quality of our food paired with the beautiful, relaxing setting is what makes our dining experiences so amazing.” 8735 N.

Anyone who has not stopped by to bliss out on this off the charts patio – let’s just say – add it to the bucket list. Teahouse Owner Lenny Martinelli agrees that this magical patio is like no other. “The patio offers you the chance to be outside next to the river, surrounded by roses and grape vines, and still experience the teahouse.” With two patios, both burst with vibrant roses planted by the Rose Society, while the riverside patio offers natural shade from the grapevine arbors. Martinelli expressed his excitement to win the award, with this to say: “Thank you for supporting the tea house for the past 22 years.

Shane Jackson is the executive chef at Leaf, saying he has a high degree of “creative freedom” when it comes to menu and recipe creation. Winning the two categories comes as a big compliment, especially since Jackson’s specialty is meat and seafood. If he had to guess why readers chose Leaf, he said it’s likely because, well, it’s tasty and a lot of TLC goes into each dish. “We make everything from scratch and most meals are very prep intensive,” Jackson said. Wondering which mouth-watering dishes customers can’t get enough of? “Our most popular dish is our cauliflower tacos.” Followed by the savory portobello burger, served full sized on the lunch menu – and sliders for happy hour. As for offering fresh natural ingredients, he attributes it Three Leaf Farms, which is part of the restaurant concept. “During the summer I get most of my produce from them, kale, tomatoes, radishes, squash, zucchini.” 1710 Pearl St., Boulder, 303.442.1485, leafvegetarianrestaurant.com.

The Amazing Garage Sale
Winning Boulder County Gold is impressive. But winning nine years? That’s amazing! The Amazing Garage Sale opened in 1998, and since they’ve become a must visit for antiques in Boulder. Their warehouse space is full of carefully curated pieces. Owner Judi Lesta has a precise eye for quality. She knows exactly what she wants to carry in her store. “We specialize in mid-century, one-of-a-kind pieces,” she said. “We’re not a thrift store … we’re part gallery, part museum.” But Lesta’s space is friendlier than a stuffy museum. Her stock is locally sourced, so there’s something for everyone’s price range. There’s something for everyone’s tastes, too – furniture, jewelry, antique decorations, you name it. Everyone from students to experienced antiquers should make time to visit. 4919 Broadway, Boulder, 303.447.0417, theamazinggaragesale.com.

They are fed up with what they have and want it to look better this winter,” says Tucker Moss, co-owner of Boulder’s Moros Fabrication. The remodeling fever extends to surfaces for fireplace surrounds, bathroom vanities, bar tops and even showers. “We have a great porcelain-like product that creates a shower surface without seams,” he says. Moros Fabrication has been in business in Boulder and surrounding communities since 1999. “We’re quality-oriented about materials as well as customer service. We’re careful with home installations and any post-install adjustments that come up,” Moros says.

Your room might have a view, but how does the window look? Innovative Openings specializes in window dressings. They regularly win awards for their savvy. Kevin Anderson, sales manager, believes their success comes from three sources. First, 40 years of operation. Next, dedicated employees and low turnover. Finally, their expertise in indoor and outdoor window accessories. “There aren’t many companies out there that do interior and exterior shading products,” Anderson observed. “And this summer especially, there’s been an emphasis on outdoor living.” All these qualities make Innovative Openings suited to serve Boulder homes. Anderson explained that incorporating manufacturing and design makes them a better full-service company. “Getting the [home decor award] blew us away,” he said. “It speaks to what we’re trying to do.” 667 S Pierce Ave., Louisville, 303.665.1305, innovativeopenings.com.

BEST SHOE STORE
“We always appreciate winning this award, but this year is special,” says Gary Cartwright, co-owner of The Regiment Shops in Boulder. “These times have been very challenging. We built our business over the years on tailored clothing. With so many people working from home there has been much less demand for suits, trousers and dress shirts,” he says. The 60-year-old local business features everything from tuxedos to high-end denim. Exclusive brands include Bugatchi, Carrot & Gibbs, Kinross Cashmere, Marcoliani Socks and Scojo Eyewear. “Luckily, people are still getting married and need clothes. A student walked in the other day to get something. His grandfather – who was a customer when he was at CU – recommended us to his grandson,” Cartwright says. During this time, The Regiment Shops limits the number of shoppers, sanitizes dressing rooms between uses and offers private appointments in the store. 2425 Canyon Blvd., #F, Boulder, 303.443.2713, theregimentshops.com.
Pedestrian Shops has been in Zoe Polk’s family for 51 years. They pride themselves on their focus on local needs and styles. “We cater to a really broad slice of people,” Polk said. “When [stocking] the store, we think about the Boulder lifestyle, what kind of outfits people wear to work and play.” As a result, Pedestrian Shops carries a wide range of shoes, from formal sandals to outdoor boots. It’s a balance between affordability, function and style. “It’s things that look cute and are still rugged at the same time,” Polk explained. Pedestrian Shops also prides itself on environmental responsibility. They ship with recyclable boxes, run energy-efficient shops, and encourage staff to walk or take public transport.

BEST BARBECUE:
Lulu’s BBQ
Lulu’s BBQ approaches its cuisine with an easygoing attitude taken straight from a sunny porch in the South. “We’re all about BBQ, low and slow,” managers at the Louisville location insist. More specifically, the restaurant is all about patience when it comes to cooking their signature pulled pork, spicy chicken and other viands. “LuLu’s BBQ serves Texas and Southern style BBQ, slow smoked on Lulu’s Pit, served up with delicious southern style sides.” That approach is a winner, judging by the savory flavors and the melt-off-the-bone consistency of their slow-smoked meats. Though Lulu’s menu offers plenty of diversity in terms of main courses (it’s tough to choose between the smoked sausage, pulled pork, tasty sandwiches or rib racks), the standout flavor is consistent across the board. Lulu’s knack for slow cooking and sauces makes its meats a stand-out, and their appreciation for the perfect side completes the perfect meal. 701 Main St., Louisville, 720.583.1789, lulus-bbq.com.

His staple of Belgian-inspired beers includes golden strong and farmhouse ales, Belgian whites and quadrupels, plus he offers hoppy and sour beers. “All the beer we brew is poured through our taps,” Howland said. “Our goal is to be a really great welcoming brew pub.

Sometimes, chain restaurants boast the best formulas. In the case of Smashburger, founded in Denver in 2007, the restaurant has perfected a unique and delicious approach to the familiar cheeseburger. Their signature, namesake item – a “smashed” patty cooked on a flattop grill at a high heat – is always a treat, especially since the restaurant insists on fresh preparation. The Lafayette store takes these guidelines seriously. They abide by the chain’s winning formula, and any burger ordered in the restaurant is sure to be fresh and hot off the grill. With a supplementary menu that includes a distinct spin on sweet potato fries, fried pickles and other goodies that go perfectly with a burger, the restaurant offers customers a memorable dining experience. Smashburger may be a chain, but as the Lafayette location proves, that doesn’t mean that they can’t offer a tasty, fresh and alluring spin on an American culinary staple. 2755 Dagny Way, Lafayette, 303.926.9700, smashburger.com.

For the 2020 Broomfield Gold awards, the entire firm of Ciancio Ciancio Brown won in the Best Lawyer category. “We’ve been helping people in Broomfield for 40 years and it’s exciting that everyone at the firm is included,” says Loren M. Brown, managing shareholder of the firm. Brown says community and volunteer work by the firm’s 35 employees and 15 attorneys has always been a focus. The firm’s longtime offices in Broomfield have been closed since March 16. “We have been very safety conscious and do most meetings virtually,” Brown says. As a fullservice law firm, its lawyers provide legal representation for a wide range of cases but many involve personal injury, wrongful death, criminal defense and family law including divorce. “We assist our clients during some of the most difficult times. We also do a lot of business law for startups such as guiding clients through the liquor license process that helps someone accomplish their dreams.

The menu includes breakfast sandwiches like sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant, cherry turnovers, mini cinnamon rolls and famous chewy glazed apple fritters. All are available with cups of quality locally-roasted Silver Canyon Coffee. If you absolutely love the chocolate frosted old-fashioned variety, stop by early while it’s still dark.

“We are very honored to win again, especially in a year like this. We don’t know where we’d be without the community supporting us,” says Kathleen Chappell, director of marketing and events at 5280 Burger Bar which opened in Broomfield in 2017. Like many restaurants, 5280 Burgers pivoted to takeout and cookat-home options after reopening. “We have home grill packs like the burger pack that includes patties, toppings, cheese, sauces, fresh corn and side salads,” Chappell says. The restaurant’s claim-to-fame is Colorado Black Angus burgers. Diners can substitute chicken breast or black bean and quinoa patty dished in a potato bun, wrapped in lettuce, or a gluten-free bun. Side dishes from fries to crispy Brussels sprouts, the sauces, dressings, ketchup and ginger beer are crafted in-house by executive chef Derek Baril’s staff. The eatery now packages to-go cocktails in Mason jars.

For Facelogic, the pandemic was a huge challenge. “We’re very grateful to our clients who voted. We have always gone all the way on customer service – whatever it takes since we opened 15 years ago in Broomfield,” says Amina Ahmed, manager of Facelogic spa. Early in the pandemic, Facelogic put memberships on hold. “When we finally opened people were itching to get in. We follow really strict rules about mask-wearing, taking temperatures and taking 20 minutes between sessions to thoroughly sanitize treatment rooms thoroughly,” Ahmed says. For some clients – especially the elderly - Facelogic now offers services at people’s homes. “It really makes their day,” she says. Aesthetician treatments for women, men and teens include aromatherapy, microcurrent treatment, spray tan and DaVinci teeth whitening. Facelogic also asks the question: “Who said facials were just for your face?” The answer, Ahmet says, are back and “booty” facials.

Broomfield Farmers Market at Holy Comforter Episopal Church
Celebrating a decade of fresh produce, artisanal treasures and locally sourced meats, the Broomfield Farmers’ Market is Colorado’s largest completely volunteer-operated farmers’ market, said Dave Carter, one of the market managers. Aiming to “create a destination that connects the community with healthy food and Colorado farmers and a destination that demonstrates the stewardship commitment of Holy Comforter Episcopal Church,” he said, the Broomfield Farmers’ Market is beloved for its local produce, pork, beef, bison, roasted chilies, salsas, tamales and baked goods. This year the market “scaled back considerably” due to COVID-19 and to help farmers hard-hit by the pandemic, waived all vendor fees. The market is open each Tuesday from mid-June through September and eagerly anticipates “a great grand opening of our eleventh season in 2021 with the full-scale market that our community has grown to love throughout the past decade,” Carter said. 1700 W. 10th Ave., Broomfield, 303.466.2667, broomfieldfarmersmarket.org.

“Lutheran Church of Hope is an imperfect community that gathers together to try to follow Jesus,” according to Senior Pastor the Rev. Dr. Scott McAnally. The congregation partners with non-profits to serve the community and is currently building Anchor House, studio apartments for independent living for emancipated former foster youth. “We are passionate about worship,” Dr. McAnally said. “Martin Luther said music is the fifth gospel, so we bring music into everything from first grade through retirement. I guess you could say we’re formal but not stuffy.” For over seven years, the church has broadcast services for shut-ins and the elderly, so when the pandemic hit, they were at home with broadcasting. This year they made a significant commitment to accessibility by removed the pews and webcasting live every Sunday at 9 a.m. (lchope.org/watch). “We believe saying ‘all are welcome – but not anyone who is high risk’ just doesn’t resonate,” the pastor said. They have had some outdoor worship on the grass field with spray-painted circles to keep everyone six feet apart, since the hardest thing about the pandemic has been the isolation and people are yearning to see each other. “We want everyone to be safe and be well,” Dr. McAnally said. 1305 W. 10th Ave., Broomfield, 303.466.4823, lchope.org.

If you feel like going to the Florida Keys, take a shorter trip to Big Mac & Little Lu’s Seafood Restaurant. It’s a beachy, laid back place with a great family atmosphere. According to Manager Gabby Mares, that’s because it is family owned and the fresh seafood comes from Florida. “You can taste the freshness in the food,” she said. “It’s like a little getaway.” Some of the most popular items are oysters and the king crab, lobster roll, fish and chips and the almond-crusted hog fish. Like all Colorado restaurants, Big Mac & Little Lu’s has to limit seating, separate the tables, and sanitize extensively. Gabby said, “It was tough at first, but our regulars have been very helpful.

Broomfield Veterinary Hospital
Broomfield Veterinary Hospital not only provides excellent care for the everyday variety of household pets, they also see all types of exotic animals such as turtles, lizards, snakes and ferrets. They are proud to say that they were one of the few hospitals in Colorado to attain the vaccine for Rabbit Hemorragic Disease, a disease that is spreading among wild and domestic rabbits and can be fatal. Practice Manager Michelle Goerlitz said, “We went through a very lengthy process to get the vaccine from Europe. The outbreak spread to Colorado this year and we were able to vaccinate hundreds of domestic rabbits.” Goerlitz spoke of the supportive culture at Broomfield Veterinary Hospital. She said, “We want to thank everyone for their continued support as we still navigate through COVID-10. It’s been a difficult transition not to see our clients at the hospital. We look forward to when that day comes!” 12621 Lowell Blvd., Broomfield, 303.466.1764, broomfieldvet.com. Runner Up: Laurel Veterinary Clinic, 405 Laurel St., Broomfield, 303.469.5363, laurelpets.com
