About Dish Gourmet

Since opening in March 2006, Dish Gourmet has been a go-to deli on Boulder’s east Pearl Street, serving up fresh, inventive gourmet sandwiches, prepared foods, and a full range of catering services. From boxed lunches and sandwich platters to specialty items like cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and local Boulder natural foods, everything is made fresh with the finest ingredients. Our meats are locally sourced from independent farmers and roasted in-house daily, ensuring every bite is as flavorful as it is fresh.

We believe in doing our part

At Dish Gourmet, we’re passionate about protecting the environment. All of our to-go packaging is compostable or recyclable, and every bit of unused food and kitchen scraps is composted—because great food shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

     Westword: Denver’s Five Best Non- Jewish Delis

    “Scrawled across a chalkboard that spans the width of this three-table space are the dozens of sandwiches assembled in the kitchen at Dish. Turkey, avocado and cranberry come together in the Gobbler; the Piglet pits ham against Emmental cheese; and vegetarian options like the Tuscan — white bean spread, avocado, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and gruyere on ciabatta — are delicious even if you’re a carnivore. The soups and the prepared foods are also worth your attention, especially if you don’t have time to wait in the inevitably long lunchtime line.”

    “Boulder commuters should swing by Dish Gourmet for a gourmet sandwich that can be eaten with one hand on the wheel. The “Which Came First?” comes on freshly baked ciabatta that hugs two farm-fresh eggs, Long Family Farm bacon, and melted Muenster cheese.”

    “I pedal from my hotel to Dish Gourmet, a new-school deli that house-cures many of their meats. The Whittier sandwich (speck, pâté, Brie, apple chutney) makes a nice picnic along Boulder Creek Path, a seven-mile multi-use artery running from Valmont Reservoir westward to Boulder Canyon. It’s the Broadway of Boulder.”
