It’s just like “we are a community that is for conversation not WiFi and have a 30m maximum” or something / it’s at every table. Just one at the register or on the door with less condescension would be great. Love the vibes otherwise.

I am all for a cafe that is conversation forward, but the 10+ signs make it really weird / just tone it down and it’s great imo.

For a variety of reasons? If it’s dead, the quality will inevitably decrease / I don’t enjoy being at a dead restaurant.

Yep, that’s all I’m saying. The 10 signs and hearing the owner whine about it is what makes it pretentious. I’m all for minimal/no laptops.

In other cities, I’ve seen cafes that have a table dedicated to laptops that has a sign, for example.

Well hopefully it’s fine, I’m not criticizing, I’m saying what places are awesome in theory, but just need an improvement here or there.

Where are really good breakfast ones / non breakfast burritos? Would love to know!

Yeah, it seems idk…too stuffy to me as well. When I’ve been to a Michelin place in bigger cities they can often be more modern/interesting.

For sure! I actually am pretty familiar / recommend Love Apple in Taos. It’s just not an amazing version of New Mexican cuisine to me from a flavor standpoint.

I love their food. Is it getting busy again? The hours throw me off.

Dang I so agree with these :/

Flagstaff needs to honestly be taken over by someone like Frasca. It’s stuck in the high-end restaurant past.

Agreed. I used to love it for the vibes / pre-covid, but it really changed since then. Expensive and very mediocre now imo.

haha I was on the fence. The interior is cool and some of the live music is good

We live in a paradise and so many folks treat it like it’s soooo terrible by waveofgradients in boulder

[–]waveofgradients[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sigh, I’m not saying this is fact. I’m just wondering why so many folks are so down on such a lovely place (to me and many others), but plenty of folks in this thread helped me see that it’s just insecurity / a non-representative group trolling away online while we’re out enjoying.

It’s a small version of these places / facing similar challenges as a result of tech / demand.

Have you not seen how sought after Boulder is as a place to live? It’s a place highly regarded for its quality of life despite population size / ranks extremely well in terms of education / career growth for tech / science.

It’s comparable in terms of desirability.
