Excellent bakery on a shopping block in an older neighborhood. Very good espresso based drinks, pastries and pies. The cherry raspberry strudel is particularly good. The sweetness of the crust is a nice contrast to the tart cherry/raspberry filling and pairs well with the latte. Service was great. It was friendly, prompt and efficient. The space is in an interesting older building with both tables and counter space for seating. They do have Wi-Fi available. There is a view into the back area where employees are busy baking. The on street parking is limited and can fill up during peak times.

If it weren’t so far from my place in downtown Denver, I’d make this my regular coffee shop and bakery. Their baked goods are top notch. Not overly sweet and buttery- perfect balanced doses of savory and sweet that allows the flavor of dough to shine. I had the infamous almond croissant and apple raspberry strudel with a latte. Almond croissant is beautifully baked, crispy on the outside, layered airiness inside, and right amount of filling that doesn’t compromise the texture of the bread. Worth every dollar. Will definitely be visiting again and bringing friend next time!

Easily the best almond croissant I’ve had in Denver. Add to that the heavy hipster factor of their interior, and slightly too cool for school attitude but still down to earth, and you got a shining star right here on south Gaylord. Makes sense as it’s connected to the slammin brunch spot next door at Myrtle Hill.
