But you can’t deny its amazing patio: I mean, what better view in Boulder could you ask for or find?. They did win the silver medal best of boulder award this year too, for best place to eat outside, no less."

Crossroads Commons is also a great place to get a massage, mani/pedi, haircut, fake tan, tooth cleaning and bikini wax — maybe not all in one sitting, although you could do them all without having to get in the car."
