Shine's entire menu is gluten-free and they have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options as well. Aside from the food, what we love about Shine is their unique selection of creative non-alcoholic + alcoholic) shots and drinks that they call potions.

If you have little ones, you'll love the park at the main branch of Boulder Public Library. This park has lots of fun terrain, a giant sandbox and water features (turned on only in late spring, summer and early fall). And a big bonus is that it's right on Boulder creek so the kids can check that out as well. Great place for a family picnic!
