What we’re about

One could argue that brunch requires just two things: great food and a cocktail or beverage option to wash it down. Most of Boulder's premier brunch options offer their menus on the weekends only, naturally, but even weekday brunch fans have some excellent choices. So whatever you’re craving — French toast, honey-soaked Moroccan pancakes, or just good old-fashioned eggs and bacon — let this list be your motivation to rise and shine and dine with us!

Excellent brunch and breakfast places are often in small locations and most do not accept reservations, so be prepared to come early to avoid waiting too long. We will keep attendance small so the restaurant can accommodate us.

Breakfast/Brunch at Boulder Dushanbe Tea House
Dushanbe Tea House, Boulder, 1770 13th Street Boulder, CO 80302, Boulder, CO, US
Boulder's famous tea house is the Dushanbe Teahouse, a stunning, handcrafted gift from its sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, symbolizing peace during the Cold War; built by Tajik artisans with intricate carvings and tiles, it was shipped in pieces to Boulder, assembled, and opened in the 1990s as a cultural landmark and popular restaurant.
Key Historical Points:
- Sister City Gift:
  Established as part of the Boulder-Dushanbe Sister Cities program, this ornate building was a gesture of friendship from Dushanbe (then part of the Soviet Union) to Boulder in the late 1980s.
- Construction & Transport:
  Forty Tajik artisans hand-built the structure in Dushanbe, then dismantled it, crating the elaborate pillars, paintings, and tiles for shipment to Boulder.
- Assembly in Boulder:
  After years in storage, American architect Vern Seieroe oversaw its reassembly, finally opening in Boulder as a unique cultural attraction.
- Cultural Significance:
  The teahouse features hand-carved pillars, original oil paintings, and ceramic tiles, reflecting traditional Persian and Central Asian designs, making it a significant piece of international art and architecture in the U.S.
- Reciprocal Exchange:
  In exchange for the teahouse, Dushanbe received an internet cafe and other aid from Boulder.
Today, the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is a beloved tourist spot and restaurant, serving over 100 teas and celebrating its unique journey of peace and craftsmanship.
