The Laughing Goat coffee shop offers two convenient locations; on Pearl Street in the heart of downtown Boulder and on the CU campus, should you want to mingle with the students. Live music and pungent, fair trade, organic coffee are staples of the warm and cozy spot. At the Pearl Street location, local art is featured regularly and a variety of music can be heard throughout the week, including jazz, blue grass, and classical. Because this particular spot is rather small, performances are intimate and provide for excellent acoustics. Furthermore, if you prefer to enjoy your music while sipping a beer instead of coffee, Laughing Goat offers several local ales.
