Health-focused chain True Food Kitchen is lining up a high-profile landing at Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street mall, taking over a prominent plaza-level space that once held an Arhaus furniture showroom. If everything stays on schedule, the national brand is aiming to start serving in summer 2026, giving Boulder diners another full-service option in an already crowded restaurant scene.
Where it will land and when
Signage posted on the future restaurant space lists the address as 1710 29th St., suite 1080, with a projected summer 2026 debut, according to WhatNow. That report notes that the display initially teased a fall 2025 opening before it was updated to the later target date.
What to expect on the menu
True Food Kitchen built its concept around Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory food pyramid and has since grown into a national brand, per Wikipedia. The chain’s menu leans health-first with bowls and salads but does not shy away from comfort-food crowd-pleasers like sourdough pizzas, burgers and its True Crisp’d fried‑chicken sandwiches, alongside signature cocktails and seasonal dishes, according to True Food Kitchen. The company already has a Colorado presence with a location in Cherry Creek, per True Food Kitchen.
Where it fits in Twenty Ninth Street’s plans
The mall’s own directory has True Food Kitchen listed as “Coming Soon” on the plaza level, according to Twenty Ninth Street. Local business coverage has also pegged the restaurant as part of a wider wave of new tenants headed to the center, as reported by BizWest, which cited the mall’s general manager on a push to broaden Twenty Ninth Street’s dining lineup.
What to watch next
True Food Kitchen has not yet shared a firm opening date or posted hiring notices tied to the Boulder outpost, so locals should expect a more formal announcement from the company or the mall as plans firm up. If the summer 2026 timeline holds, diners can look forward to a full-service, seasonally driven menu that emphasizes health-forward dishes while still offering familiar favorites. We will update this space once the brand confirms an exact opening date and any job postings for the new location.
