The health-forward restaurant chain True Food Kitchen is headed to Boulder, according to signage on the restaurant’s future storefront. True Food Kitchen will occupy a plaza space that formerly housed Arhaus Furniture in the Twenty Ninth Street Mall, located on 1710 29th St.
True Food Kitchen was founded in 2008 based on its founder, Dr Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory food pyramid, which provides a guideline on how to eat to minimize inflammation. The chain already has an outpost in Denver, operating in Cherry Creek.
While that health-conscious description may evoke images of monotonous slop bowls and the salads you shake in the hopes that it’ll somehow make your lunch less dry, the food at True Food Kitchen is shockingly diverse. The chain’s menu offers burgers, fried chicken, sourdough pizza and even cocktails, like its smoke show old fashioned.
The True Food Kitchen has been a long time coming. Once upon a time, the signs in front of the Boulder storefront said the restaurant was coming soon, in the fall of 2025. The display now has the restaurant aiming for a summer 2026 opening.
