EAT. DRINK. PADDLE.

Rooted in community and surrounded by nature, Lakeside at Boulder is more than just a café—it’s a place to gather, recharge, and jump into adventure. From early morning coffees before a paddle to sunset charcuterie boards after a long beach day, our space is designed for everyone—families, friends, solo adventurers, and weekend wanderers alike. We believe in simple pleasures: a great meal, a beautiful view, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
