our story

While Skratch Labs is commonly known as a sports nutrition company, we’ve always believed that the best sports nutrition starts in one’s kitchen with delicious food made from scratch. So since our founding in 2012, we’ve committed ourselves to making best-in-class sports nutrition products, while also cooking for athletes and their families at events across the world.

In 2012, that started with a food trailer we towed to athletic competitions, serving fresh food crafted for performance, nourishment, and connection. Today, all of that care and community has come home to Boulder, Colorado at the Skratch Labs Cafe. Here, you’ll find our sports drink mix on tap for free, locally roasted coffee from the Coffee Ride, a menu designed to meet the needs of a simple snack attack to your hardest day of training, and a team committed to making sure you belong. Our goal is to fuel all of your Boulder adventures with real care, delicious food, and a whole lotta fun.

the menu

Our menu is built to nourish all your endeavors from start to finish. Whether you are looking for a simple snack, fuel for your hardest days of training, or connection over a shared meal – we hope our food, drink, and hospitality create that place for you. Our menu is designed to encourage mixing and matching ingredients, to build a meal that suits your needs. But if you don’t see something you’re looking for, just ask and we’ll do our best to help make you and your day better.

catering & events

We cater within the greater Boulder area. That said, our catering schedule fills up quickly, so make sure to reach out to info@skratchlabscafe.com to let us know how we can help you. If you prefer, we can also prepare items from our menu at a larger scale that you can take to your next event for yourself or your team.

frequently asked questions

Almost everything on our Cafe menu is gluten-free. That said, we do not have a gluten-free certified kitchen as we sometimes prepare gluten-rich items for ourselves and for catering events.

Absolutely. All of our rice bowls and salads start out as vegan dishes. From there you can add egg if you’re a vegetarian or animal protein if you prefer.
