I love this place because they have it all. They have an incredible bakery with and incredible coffee shop and an incredible restaurant! There are many items that I could recommend from their bakery, but honestly just pick whatever looks good to you I promise you won't be disappointed. This place is special to me because given covid, we had to postpone our wedding, when the date got near we decided to have a small zoom wedding on the original date and we ordered a cake from devils food to celebrate. Well I think other than getting to marry the love of my life, the cake was the second best part of that day. Plus it was so pretty! read more

Had a chance to try out Devil's Food Bakery over the weekend and I have to say that they make cinnamon rolls that make your eyes roll back. I was with my Girlfriend and her sister for a breakfast treat before a hike. This bakery is located on Gaylord St, which has a couple of nice shops to check out if you want to stroll around. I went classic and ordered a iced vanilla latte, and all three of us shared a warm fluffy cinnamon roll. First, the coffee was much stronger than most lattes. I actually enjoyed that. It had a distinct taste that perked you up with each sip. Now the big ticket item was the roll of love lol. The cinnamon they make was the perfect balance of dense and fluffy. The outside layer had a light crust and the ooey gooey glaze brought the treat all together. Overall, the coffee, pastry, and environment were top notch in my opinion. I have to give Devil's Food Bakery a 5 out of 5. hope you enjoyed my review! read more

Very very very good pastry. Lamination on those croissants was **chefs kiss**. Also enjoyed a nice seasonal pastry with butternut squash and goat cheese. read more

So dam good I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict! The hollandaise was light and fluffy ladled over perfectly poached eggs! On top of a slice challah bread! Not only was the Benedict outstanding what I thought would be same old same old breakfast potatoes that I would have to drench with catsup and hot sauce. The potatoes had rosemary and a touch of some other herb. As I gobbled a spoonful in my hungry mouth my tastebud went on flavor savor overload! Not only did I enjoy the sumptuous taste but had some sort of acidic addition that enhanced the taters so dam good! Go get sum...not to mention the service was outstanding! read more

I've been here several times over the years of being in the neighborhood. Sadly, each time I have felt like the service has not been friendly or attentive. This last time we were seated promptly-there was no wait-but nobody came around to give us waters for quite a long time. There were 4 other parties seated after us and 3 of the 4 were given waters before us. We were ready to order by the time we got our waters and coffee. The other tables seated after us all got their food before us and finally I asked our waitress about our order. Our food came out shortly thereafter. A cold scramble, decent pancakes, and a piping hot broiled-not quite burnt-quiche. The food was not special enough, nor were they so busy that we could overlook the lack of care/service. I want to support local business but I also don't want to feel like an annoyance because I came in. read more

It's rare that you find a place like this. I've been dream about the lemon tart! And the Hedgehog was so rich and delicious.

Have only been to the bakery side of this place as the restaurant part is next door. I enjoy coming here to unwind a bit and settle my brain before work. They have been my go to coffee and quick bite stop before I head in. The staff are welcoming, fast and laid back. Seating can be hard to find at times as there are just a couple tables in back and a bar top plus 3 small tables in front, which are my first picks as they each sit next to a french door with windows. I love when they pop them open in the summer. Some notes: it is kid friendly as a lot of moms do come in with their children but not a lot of room for strollers. They always have music playing. A little pricey but it is good coffee and great pastries! Whether you are looking to study, read, meet a friend, an interview, or just a cup of coffee solo, this place is pretty chill. read more

The ham and cheese croissant was delicious and just made! The staff was friendly. Coffee was strong and small to go cups.

Devil's Food Bakery - Cafe latte and scone! - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Devil's Food lives up to its nefarious name. This bakery offers customer service from Hell! While standing in line, I watched an employee offer friendliness and freebies to the person in front of me. Then it was my turn and this same employee's attitude turned ice cold like the frozen lake of Hell where Satan is entrapped, as he feebly attempts to free himself from his fate. "What do you want?" he asked with a nasty expression. He quickly handed me a bag of cookies, keen for my payment. Assuming that the manager of the bakery would wish to hear about an experience of poor customer service so he could improve his business for others, I called and spoke with Josh, who was blasé and breezy. He thought it was "okay" for employees to be referees, picking and choosing which customers receive friendliness and freebies and which get the short end of the stick. This is a license to DISCRIMINATION based on the whims of the employees. I asked Josh if he wanted his bakery to have a reputation for discrimination, and he clearly did not a give a damn - like the whole damned lot of them at this hellish bakery. Although I have been a patron for over 15 years, I will never return. There are superior bakeries in Denver (Izzio Artisan Bakery, Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery, La Fillette Bakery, Taste of Denmark, Trompeau Bakery) where you can still be treated respectfully rather than discriminately. To the hell with Devil's Food! read more

I don't go out for brunch much but this is one of my favorite places to take friends visiting. Took my son for a treat on a day he had off from school. Believe I got an omelette and a latte. Pretty sure we devoured it all. Bonus - we love the shops and restaurants on Gaylord Street near Wash Park - just so nice and pleasant. Sometimes parking can be irritating, but not too bad during the week. read more

I love the food it's high quality ingredients! The toast & jam are homemade. I would give 5 stars if it was more comfortable. The green chili bowl is excellent. The mushroom tomato breakfast scramble with chorizo is too, but the potatoes are boring so I get it with a house salad instead, & the homemade dressing is zingy & tasty. The chicken pot pie is really rich but delicate I love it. The chairs inside are skinny & hard. It's a cute place, but small & there's limited seating. Some tables feel quite awkward. Sitting by the window is pleasant, or the wall. I avoid during busy times like weekends. The chai latte is the spicy type & the best in town! Wish they had fresh squeezed oj, a dark roast espresso & coffee option, but overall it's a great menu. read more

I've been to the Cookery for dinner and breakfast. If you want savory, rich, comfort food in a hip meets quaint environment this is it. For dinner we and the chicken pot pie and Bolognese. The pot pie was a puff pastry on top of a souflee dish of pot pie innards. It was perfect for the rainy day. The Bolognese was out of this world. My partner and I were sharing and it was hard to share: noodles handcrafted at Devil's Food. For breakfast I had a cambric tea, the biscuit and gravy AND a pancake. It was a lot of food and to sit on the bench out front after to digest before biking home. You could never say the gravy lacked flavor. It was rich and creamy and chocked full of what seemed like sausage and little ham bits. The bakery has never disappointed when we've stopped in for a slice of cake or savory croissant. read more

Well, we didn't expect to find this place, but the Yelpers led us to it! Walking in feels like coming over to grandma's house. It's old, with vintage like teal paint on the walls and old chandeliers. There's is also a collection of cheese graters and serving plates on the wall I started with a mimosa on a Wednesday, because, I'm an adult and I can! My hubby basically had a two egg breakfast and side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy was deeeelicious and topped a drop style tasty biscuit. I had the best quiche ever!!! She had me at the filling, ham, mushrooms and cheese, but it was the crust that really shined. It was made with a laminated dough (like a croissant) and was perfectly buttery and flaky. Wow! The service here was wonderful, and we will definitely be back again. read more

Great pastries galette cinnamon buns scones croissant. Busy place but worth the wait!

Hot damn if Wash Park isn't like the cutest neighborhood in the history of adorable neighborhoods!!!! We found Devil's Food and initially went into the café side where you can sit and get brunch. We ended up heading to the bakery but this side wasn't as visually appealing as the café. In the café - it was bright and airy and just very pretty. You can tell that on a Monday morning you get a particular crowd of local people who are able to "do lunch" if you will unlike the rest of us work dorks! Staff: Umm, they left a little to be desired and weren't really interested in chatting much but hey, they did what they needed to do and somedays for all of us that is and has to be good enough. Drink: We ordered at the counter - my husband a regular large latte and myself a large honey lavender latte. My latte was on point and just sweet enough to satisfy my taste. Food: We ordered two items to split. The ham and gruyere croissant (warmed) which was super good. Light, crispy, and buttery with a lot of flavor from the ham and cheese itself. We also ordered the jalapeno cream cheese pop-tart which was more like a turnover/empanada (warmed) thing but hey call it whatever you want it was good. A lot of ooey gooey inside with a light crust. I loved this place and aside from the gossiping hens we sat near, could see myself coming here a lot especially if I lived in the neighborhood. If you haven't been please check it out! read more

I will order their quiche 9 times out of 10 because it's that good! And I get a side of corn bread to make it a perfect brunch. Also, it's the little things like their ice tea. Oh so good. We've been eating here for over 15 years. So good every single time. read more

The Bakery either needs a staffing overhaul or a serious attitude check. The food, coffee, and atmosphere are 5-Stars but the employees working at the counter have been off putting / cold the last 3-4 times we've visited. I know other patrons feel the same from reading the Google and yelp reviews. It'd be advantageous for management to take notice and do something about it. The only thing I can say is if you're not a morning person or you find is too hard to say hi to people or just smile, find a different line of work. read more

I'm sorry that I wasn't aware of your "No Cellphone Environment" policy, but I was trying to help someone with directions to your bakery. Quite frankly I'm not sure if you could have been more rude in your delivery. Please do not get thisclose to my face and tell me "Get off the phone. We don't allow cellphones." My friend heard her on the other end and apologized for getting me in trouble. The Mexican wedding cookie was thick and sounded great. When I tried to break off a piece it was as hard as a rock, and little pieces flew everywhere once it broke. It was hard and tasted only of butter. My Mexican wedding cookies are crispy but light and airy. Did I screw up or did you? Thankfully my friend offered up a few bites of her red velvet cream filled, chocolate covered cake. This creation is sinful, and obviously the inspiration to the bakery's name. I enjoyed my americano but disappointed you didn't offer nonfat milk. Hopefully when I come back for breakfast I'll have a better experience. read more

Ridiculously great food, and when you reach the last phase of your meal it will suddenly dawn on you . . . whoa! . . . this delicious food I've just had was only a warm-up to what this place is famous for--their desserts. And you'll be right. We started off with the corn and crab fritter accompanied by a bottle of their Pinot Gris and it was one of the best hors d'oeuvres we've ever shared. Followed that up with the intensely flavorful shrimp and grits and ratatouille served en croute for entrees. Each was a special treat. But the ending--the deconstructed chocolate pot d'creme s'more--really was slap yourself silly wonderful. The price is well below what you'd pay at some of the more high-end eateries in town, but absolutely just as good. The atmosphere is informal and bakery-like. Our server, Taylor, was a great guy and the perfect guide for our meal. DFBC is well-deservedly popular for breakfast and brunch, but because it hasn't been that long that they've been serving dinner the place had empty tables when we stopped in late on a Friday evening. It shouldn't be. This place should have a line out the door all the time. It's that good. So add it to your list of places to hit up. You really are gonna love it.

I've popped in from time to time for something sweet and as long as I pick something chocolate, I haven't been disappointed. If I stray from the chocolate, I don't leave as happy. It can be hit or miss. I once came expecting to pick up a birthday dessert for 4 and couldn't find anything to fit the bill. Most recently, I came hoping for cupcakes. They had exactly 4 sad looking little cupcakes whose only redeeming feature was the candied violet on top, a personal favorite. I opted instead for a Devil's Food Donut though I was tempted by the brownies (a huge pie shaped wedge for only $2.50). I brought it home for a special desert later that night. It was divine. Basically a mini-chocolate bundt cake - it really did resemble a donut. The icing was thick and fudgey. Split between two people, it was the perfect dessert. The cake was moist and rich and smooshed on the fork just like it oughta. This bit of devil's food is a bit of chocolately heaven. read more

Items Selected: Cultivar Coffee Almond Croissant Cinnamon Roll Monte Cristo with Housemade Jam and Pasta Salad Kumquat Pancake Cherry Pop Tart Chocolate Chip Cookie Snickerdoodle Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Peanut Butter Cookie Admittedly setting an aggressive agenda for seven full days in Colorado day two began at soon-to-relocate Devil's Food, and although service seemed a bit stretched as a result of the Sunday morning rush plus a young man who was a touch too chatty with regulars the food itself set a very high standard for all other breakfasts in the area, only an overly dry peanut butter cookie and "French Toast" style Monte Cristo falling short of "Must Order" designation. Undoubtedly a place of substantial popularity, elderly couples and hipsters alike lining up for pastries or settling in for a table, it was only after perusing baked goods that change throughout breakfast, lunch and dinner that I opted for a two-top, Coffee from nearby Cultivar offering a refreshingly light roast despite refills that were slower than optimal while an opening round of pastries showed a skilled hand with lamination - the bronzed shell of an almond croissant giving way to arched caverns and lighr sweetness while the frosted cinnamon roll was rich with butter inside the tight coil. Going the extra mile to import pure maple syrup from Slopeside, and offering it alongside a single buttermilk pancake studded with kumquats as opposed to a whole stack, the batter used at Devil's Food yield an extremely puffy product compared to most and although the aforementioned ham and turkey sandwich is not fried like the classic one would be hard pressed to quibble about its quality, the pan-seared bread rich, eggy and easily maintaining its texture even after the addition of housemade jam. Unable to pass up more pastries on exit, the quickbreads, brownies and muffins all appealing while the signature cakes are not available until later in the day, it was instead in a quartet of cookies plus a roasted cherry 'pop-tart' that remaining appetite was invested, the Snickerdoodle and Oatmeal Raisin standing out compared to the others while the fruit pocket more closely resembled a hand-pie than the famous toaster pastry, a good thing by all accounts but in my opinion an undersell of the buttery shell, as well as the fresh filling, based on the naming. read more

Our first visit to Denver's famous Washington Park. DFB is a short 5 min ride from the bike loop. Interior has numerous antiquity fixtures - however the food is why we went. Our server - 'Aaron' was attentive and did not disappoint us in his description of the menu. Warm day in the mid 80's and were in need of food. The DVB Tuna Melt was awesome, followed by Brussels sprout coleslaw and asparagus creme soup.

Lovely bakery and cafe in a cute neighborhood among several boutiques. We went at 1:30 for a late lunch and there was still an hour wait. Fine with us though. We ordered coffee and went to some of the stores. Definitely worth calling ahead though if you're in a hurry. Our food was great! I ordered the scramble with white cheddar, jalapeños, and mushrooms and seasonal salad on the side. All of the ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly. The seasonal side salad had fresh pear in it. Yummy! We also ordered the chicken and waffles. The gravy to syrup ratio was perfect. Loved the seasoning on the chicken as well. Our friend ordered the shrimp and grits. She wasn't a huge fan of the dish because it tasted a lot like shakshuka, which wasn't what she really wanted. Not bad if that's what you're craving though. read more

Mmmm... I'm salivating just remembering my delicious breakfast yesterday morning at Devil's Food. Tiffany N spoke highly of this place and I now know why! Large portions, friendly service, a charming ambiance, and fresh delicious food... what could be bad about that? Nothing! Well, maybe that they were out of Italian Soda and their patio doesn't open until May, but that's not a big deal. I had an Arnold Palmer (made with their fresh squeezed lemonade), an omelette with spinach, mushroom, and fresh mozzarella (which they gladly made with egg whites per my request), perfectly buttered thickly sliced wheat bread, and breakfast potatoes. I'd return to Devil's Food without a doubt... in fact I seem to get a "devilish grin" just thinking about my next visit! read more

I think I found my new favorite spot, which serves breakfast all day! Don't worry, you can also get lunch there, or even just a pastry to go. I did a little mixing and matching. I got a poached egg, with toast (which was sweet chili- the fresh baked bread of the day) and a side salad which was embedded with grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, in a balsamic vinaigrette. They had lots of amazing options to choose from here. Some things that popped out were the goat cheese and beet salad, corn bread and eggs, roasted grapefruit with brandy and brown sugar, and many other delicious looking items. To top it off they serve novo coffee, had great service, and had a cozy cute feel with the antiquey decor. I will definitely be back. read more

This is not only my new favorite brunch spot in Denver, but it's my new favorite coffee shop! My husband and I dined here with his parents this weekend. My mother-in-law is GF so it needed to have options for her. While we waited (about 40 mins) for our table, we walked around the quaint neighborhood and shops surrounding the store, and also just stood inside admiring the baked goods and taking in all the delicious coffee bean and sugar smells. Immediately upon being seated I ordered an almond milk latte. I had ordered too quickly, though, because I noticed on their brunch specials a honey lavender latte was listed. After stalking our waitress for a few minutes I had switched my beverage order. And thank goodness - it was divine. The subtle sweetness of the honey matched with the herbal lavender had me drinking it to the very last drop (a rarity for me). For my meal I debated between the quinoa cakes and lox Benedict. My waitress said it was a hard decision, but steered me toward the Benedict because of their housemade hollandaise sauce. The challah bread base was a nice change from the traditional English muffin. Topped with fresh tomatoes, lox and capers, then two perfectly poached eggs (this was actually quite amazing) and that wonderful hollandaise. The only thing that could (and did) make it better would be the crunchy roasted potatoes on the side. Oh, and the local Elevation ketchup. Because that all wasn't enough, we took some peanut butter cookies to-go and enjoyed them later that afternoon. Sweet, salted and crunchy. While this place is not on my morning commute at all, I might have to venture over on occasion for my morning coffee. Or just come back every weekend. Or both, read more

Uh oh. I'm about to gain countless pounds from discovering this place. Hedgehog? Check. Homemade Oreo? Check. Cinnamon roll? Check. Chocolate croissant? Check. Chocolate Chip cookie? Check. Mexican Wedding Cake cookie? OMG check. Biscuits & gravy for brunch? I die and go to heaven - check check check. And, the funny part is that while this had been on my list for a while, it wasn't until hubby brought home that Oreo (4 days ago), that we went back to try more. Yes, we've had all of that in 4 days. See previous note about forthcoming redonkulous weight gain. If you're wanting brunch - I would suggest aiming for no later than 9:30. We got the last 4-top upon arrival, but after us - there was a line beginning to form that looked quite long by the time we left. The two gents had the fried chicken and waffles and ate every morsel. They used my potatoes to essentially lick their plates clean and mop up every last bit of gravy. It was THAT good. Yum yum in my tum tum. See you soon Devil's Food! read more

Wow! One of the highlights of our week in the Denver area. We went there for lunch around 1:30 PM on a weekday. We had no trouble getting seated inside (it was a hot day in Denver). There is also an outdoor patio for dining, behind the restaurant. The dining room is really warm and friendly, with faux doors and windows adorning the walls and hanging from the ceiling, a country cupboard, and a general country or folk design. We had, among other things, the Catfish Po'Boy, vegetable and beef soup, and Mediterranean Chicken Panini. Their dark-roast coffee was excellent, and strong. My wife and I shared a blueberry tart. It was amazing. My daughter had the apple and brie sandwich, which she was much surprised to learn that she loved. She had a doughnut, also found that to be an excellent and rich dessert. Service was excellent. Thanks to other Yelp reviewers for recommending this restaurant, and the tarts. If we had left without the tart, our lives would have been much diminished as a result. We had to find parking two blocks off Gaylord, but it was a pleasant walk. read more
