Local love is what keeps Longmont thriving! As a local myself, I know these businesses are the heart of our town.  

You shared your favorite “must-visit” spots with us for our annual Love Local awards, and the turnout was spectacular. We had so many great nominees that picking the winners was the hardest part! 

We were delighted to see that so many of you nominated your favorites, but we spotted an old favorite coming to reclaim the title: last year’s winner Parkway Food Hall was a top choice for many of you, and as a long-time fan myself, it makes sense why they’re our winner two years in a row. 

Parkway Food Hall: A Culinary Destination for Everyone  

A food hall so nice, you nominated it twice! Parkway Food Hall delivers on every level; this 6,000-square-foot culinary hub brings together eight award-winning and locally curated food concepts under one roof.   

Parkway Food Hall is designed with you in mind. You can savor everything from bold Cajun dishes and craft burgers to ramen, barbecue, pizza, and gourmet gelato all in one visit.  

It’s difficult to pick favorites on such an extensive menu, but I always find myself going back to the Chicken Tikka Masala at Spice Fusion or the Birria Tacos at Chile con Quesadilla. No matter the season, you can’t beat some spicy food! 

You benefit from an atmosphere that welcomes everyone, whether you’re meeting friends for a casual lunch, watching the big game on a giant screen, or treating your family to a weekend outing.   

With indoor and outdoor patios, a lively bar featuring local beers and creative cocktails, and even an arcade for a little extra fun, you have endless ways to enjoy your time.  

Looking for somewhere to take the family for trivia, karaoke, and more? Check out their Events Calendar to find out when the next show or event will be! 

Nominations mentioned how much they appreciate the variety of options, the friendly staff, and the sense of community that Parkway Food Hall fosters. You can rest assured that there’s something for every palate, making it easy to bring everyone together, no matter their tastes or preferences.  

Loving Local Businesses in 2026 and Beyond 

Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate their favorite spots and share what makes them so meaningful. It’s clear that Longmont isn’t just a place on a map; it’s a network of hardworking people and passionate supporters. 

If you see me or any of our team out and about at Parkway Food Hall, be sure to come and say hello! We’d love to see you (and see what you’re ordering for more recommendations). 

Whether it’s your morning coffee or a gift for a friend, remember that where you spend your money matters. Let’s keep showing up for the shops and services that make Longmont special!
