The cafe on the bridge at the main Boulder Public Library (1001 Arapahoe Ave.) now offers Puerto Rican fare and soul food by Rae’s Catering on Thursdays and Sundays.

The world’s first butter bar, Bella La Crema Butter Shop, has re-opened at 931 Main St. in Longmont. The business first opened in Lyons in 2018 but closed when the building it was in sold. (Marigold is now in that space.)

Amazin Glaze Donuts is open at 1801 Hover St. in Longmont.

Dedalus, the Boulder food and wine shop, has closed at 1825 Pearl St. (formerly Cured).

In August, customers at Boulder-born Illegal Pete’s locations can immerse themselves in burritos wrapped in a portilla (por-TEE-yah) — a tie-dyed tortilla resulting from a collaboration with Denver’s Meow Wolf.
