Foolish Craig’s Cafe on Pearl Street in Boulder has been a breakfast and brunch institution in one of Colorado’s most food-conscious college towns since Craig Abrams opened it, building a menu around creative sweet and savory crepes alongside the kind of scratch-made breakfast plates that earn a Pearl Street address its loyal following across all four Boulder seasons. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “From Crepes to Kreplach,” which aired March 14, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Boulder crepe kitchen doing both traditions — sweet and savory — with quality local ingredients and the creative energy that makes a breakfast cafe into a genuine destination.

What to Eat
The Savory Crepes are the signature — thin, properly made French-style crepes folded around fillings like smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and Gruyère, or spinach and mushroom with béchamel. The Sweet Crepes with fresh fruit, Nutella, or house-made lemon curd are the dessert breakfast option that earns the menu its Foolish reputation. The House-Made Granola Bowl with local yogurt and seasonal fruit is the lighter morning option for the Boulder health-conscious crowd. The Eggs Benedict with hollandaise are the classic brunch order for anyone not yet committed to crepes. Find a Boulder hotel on Trivago.
