Maybe naming your doughnut business after a worldwide airborne disease is a little irreverent, but Pandemic Donuts was born of the difficult times created by COVID-19 and the ensuing restaurant restrictions. Gabrielle Henning and Michael Milton were laid off from their restaurant-industry jobs when the pandemic hit in March 2020, so they turned to doughnuts […]
Founded in Indiana by a father-and-son team, Parlor Doughnuts made its way to Denver (and eventually Aurora) when a family friend of the original owners who lived in Colorado took an opportunity to ditch his sales career and opened locations here. Parlor’s signature layered doughnuts are plump, tall, fully draped in icing and made with […]
Founded in Indiana by a father-and-son team, Parlor Doughnuts made its way to Denver in 2021 when a family friend of the original owners who lived in Colorado took an opportunity to ditch his sales career and opened locations here. Parlor’s signature layered doughnuts are plump, tall, fully draped in icing and made with laminated […]
Although it opens relatively early every morning – and 7 a.m. is reasonable for a bakery — Pierre Michel Organic French Bakery Cafe doesn’t always close at the same hour, and that’s because there are days when hordes of locals and clued-in out-of-towners who are addicted to the pastries, croissants, quiches and French baguettes churned […]

The drive from Denver to Parker hardly seems like a haul when your destination is Poulette, a bakery that started as a home-based pop-up from husband-and-wife chefs with highly impressive résumés and legendary mentors. In late 2021, Alen Ramos and Carolyn Nugent moved the business into a brick and-mortar location, and they haven’t stopped producing […]
David Kaminer’s bakery isn’t an efficient, commercial facility with gleaming ovens and mixers, nor is it an artisan storefront in a trendy neighborhood or market hall. Instead, Raleigh Street Bakery is in Kaminer’s garage, behind his house on a quiet residential block in northwest Denver. He built his wood-burning oven with the help of friends […]
Rich Spirit, which debuted in March 2024, makes sourdough bagels in five flavors: classic, sesame sea salt, poppy, salt and everything (which is generously coated in a custom seasoning blend). Customers can nab the downright delicious, chewy Os by stopping by the bakery, but if you want to guarantee your bagel bounty, check out the […]
If you thought the block that housed Rosenberg’s Bagels & Delicatessen couldn’t get any better, you’d be wrong. The Rolling Pin Bakeshop opened up just next door to the Denver favorite in fall 2016, upping the carbohydrate quotient of this stretch of Five Points exponentially. Our favorites are the croissants, stuffed with almond paste, chocolate, […]
When Josh Pollack moved to Colorado from the East Coast, he lamented the lack of good bagels. Years later, after a short-lived career in the mortgage business and other entrepreneurial ventures, he decided to change that, and opened Rosenberg’s. Pollack is so obsessed with correct bagel-making technique that he reconfigures his water, adjusting the mineral […]
The yeasty aroma of fresh-baked treats wafting from the San Antonio Mexican Bakery and Juice Bar holds the promise of a sweet breakfast or savory lunch. The variety of breads and pastries at San Antonio is almost overwhelming. In a well-stocked panaderia like San Antonio’s, we love walking from case to case with a cafeteria […]

The Ballpark neighborhood is experiencing a serious case of sugar shock now that Sugarmill has opened. The charming cafe, dinner joint, dessert bar and lounge – launched by Troy Guard in late 2013 – teases everyone who walks through the door with its extravagant display cases of cookies and cupcakes, French macarons and fat muffins, […]
The European-style bakery in Lakewood turns out a truly astonishing range of kringles, cream puffs, strudels, croissants, eclairs, sweet breads, pies, cakes, tarts, muffins, cookies and, of course, Danishes. Enjoy them to go or on the bakery’s sunny patio – including in winter, when the staff sets up outdoor heaters to keep customers cozy.
Pie mistress Shauna Lott has been baking since she was five years old, giving the goods she whips up for Long I Pie a certain maturity. As for pie, her signature dish, Lott cooks hers in cast iron pans, which gives the crust a unique and delicious caramelized effect. Lucky for pie fans eager to […]
When the Humble Pie Store reopened in Congress Park in early 2016 after more than a year without a home, a collective sigh of relief emanated from pie aficionados across the city. No longer will we have to content ourselves with special orders; finally, there’s a place we can get our pies – sweet or […]
The bakers at this Japanese bakery out-French the French, with buttery pastries delicately layered and sporting impossibly fine and crisp outer shells. Japanese culture prefers acquiring skill and knowledge through years and even decades of practice, perfecting technique through repetition. Not only has Tokyo Premium Bakery mastered a difficult art, but the bakers have quickly […]

Some of our best memories of France involve stuffing our faces with the best pastries in the world, roaming between shops to sample croissants, quiche, macarons and boules. When we crave that kind of experience in Denver, we head for Trompeau Bakery. Trompeau relocated from its original University of Denver digs to Englewood in 2011, […]
Sam Slade opened this sunny little bakery in the Berkeley neighborhood in the spring of 2016, but she’s been turning out pieces of edible art for years now, first at Le Bakery Sensual and then out of Temple Bakery. Her cakes, cookies and cupcakes emerge from the kitchen in forms familiar (flowerpots and rose blossoms), […]
Many of Denver’s old red-sauce joints have dried up, but Vincenza’s revived the tradition when it opened in Wheat Ridge close to a decade ago. The emphasis here is on authentic Italian fare – whether the breads and cookies sold out of the counter up front, or the fried polenta on the breakfast menu, or […]
There are a lot of options for banh mi in the metro area these days, but the Huynh family that founded Vinh Xuong Bakery served the sandwiches decades before son Duc Huynh opened his stylish and sunny cafe in 2011. He’s continued his family’s banh mi tradition of using baguettes baked in the shop every […]
