I really appreciate a great breakfast restaurant that serves lunch and wine. I am not a big breakfast eater. I love bacon and hollandaise, but that's about it. So, when my friends want to get together for breakfast or brunch, I am usually prepared for coffee and a side of bacon, and not very excited. Devil's food serves breakfast all day, they have bacon and Benedict (3 types), so I was already happy when I saw the menu. Then, surprise, I flipped it over and there was lunch...and wine. Patio seating, on probably the best day of the year, with two of my besties, eating a portobello sandwich with a glass of pinot grigio. Quite possibly one of the best afternoons ever, and I can now fondly remember Devil's Food, in my old hood as part of this memory. note: the service was outstanding, from the bakery (who greeted me when I came in the door), to the hostess who helped my friends find me outside, to our server who just rocked. One of the most pleasant experiences I have had in a long time. This is really a 4.5 star review. The only downfall was the proximity of seats on the patio and the noise, I could hear and engage in every conversation around our table, and when I heard/ saw the lady next to us giggle at a comment I made, I felt like I was a comedian on stage and the table next to me were my audience. Awkward. read more

Review for bakery and coffee shop only... Devil's Food currently has two locations just one door down from each other, the restaurant which I've visited multiple times is fabulous and the food and service is great. The newly opened bakery and coffee shop left a bit to be desired. I stopped by on a Monday at 10:30am and the store looked empty... not just clientele, but the shelves and pastry counter were completely bare! I had about 6 pastries to chose from, and being with friends we had to fight for who would get what as there was only one piece of each option left. I figured they might have a larger selection seeing as they advertise as a bakery and had a huge kitchen visible from the store. I opted for a slice of coffee cake and a cinnamon roll and was sorely disappointed. My bill about about $8 and i ended up throwing away the pastries as they were dry and flavorless... such a disappointment. Will not be returning to the bakery anytime soon. My hope is that they are having some growing pains and things will improve soon. read more

When you dine on the back patio here, you feel like you've just stepped into a gypsy camp where they serve only the finest, gourmet brunch. And I mean that in a good way. So many little bistros do the whole "boho chic" thing these days, that sometimes I'm actually shocked when I enjoy that particular decor. For some reason, this place got it really right and I couldn't tell you exactly what that "it" factor is. One of the other things this place got right is their food. Dang mang. My brunch food was delicious! I also got a little carrot cake to take home as a special present to my niece in honor of her first day at preschool. While she thought it was cute, I'll tell you that my mum, sister and I ate the shit out of that cake. Everything about it was perfect. Kudos to you, Devil's Food, for nailing both sweet and savory dishes in one quaint little space. read more

Devil's Food used to be one my favorite places. I've even celebrated my birthday here over dinner 4 or so years ago. After the owners divorced, I heard that the charismatic chef moved away and that his wife was running the restaurant. Such a disappointment. I visited several months ago for the first time in a long while with a friend on a very quiet day for lunch. The service was beyond bad. After asking for a fork and water several times, my friend got up to get them herself. They forgot the chicken in her meal and took quite a while to bring it out. It's possible they had an off day or were short a server but the place was nearly deserted. Happy to report that the dessert case is still gorgeous. read more

Terribly slow pretentious service. After waiting at our table for over 10 minutes our waiter stopped by, but then had to be right back. When he finally took our order after waiting over 15 minutes, forgetting to bring the drink order out until our food was done. I ordered the Corned beef hash and my girlfriend had the Crab Benny. The corned beef hash disappointingly was served with two over cooked eggs, one egg being a little more over cooked than the other (the kitchen can't even make consistent food). When i said something about the eggs they remade two eggs. The remake came in a bowl where the eggs were still floating in the water they were cooked in, and weren't fully cooked. The Crab Benny was just ok and not worth the price. EPIC FAIL. read more

Brunch! I work in the industry, so when I had a rare Sunday off I went searching for a new, stellar brunch place and I am so glad I found Devil's food. We arrived at about noon and there was a 45 minute wait for 2. We settled in on a bench to wait with mimosas and a cinnamon roll muffin (both were amazing). The baristas/counter guys had a lot more hipster/uninterested attitudes that I would expect in Uptown, not so much Wash park, but they were very busy so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. After waiting for less than the estimated time, we got a patio table. Patio is quaint, but it was HOT with no circulating air. Food time: shrimp and grits had great flavor and there was no shortage of shrimp or pork. My only thing is I would call it "shrimp and polenta" as the grits are far from traditional Southern style. BF liked the chicken and waffle but lamented he has still yet to find good sausage gravy in Denver. We also had one Bloody Mary when we ordered another to find out they were out. No problem, just a shame because the ginger sake bloody was so unique and yummy. Service was ok, the gal was super polite and friendly, but she was running around a lot and seems like they should have one person dedicated to the patio and not just give all the servers one or two outside so someone could dedicate their whole time to that section. All and all, I've been telling all my friends and customers at my restaurant that they need to give Devil's Food a try! read more

I can't comment on Devil's Food as a Cookery, but as a Bakery, I'm impressed. I've stopped here a couple of times, both because I felt guilty after girl's night and decided to bring my husband a treat. The brownie is huge, decadent, and amazing-- super rich, deep chocolate that stays moist for days, which is good because this is more than one portion of chocolate. Maybe more than two, but let's not think too hard about that. I've also picked up a "chocolate coconut bar," which basically tasted like a Girl Scout Samoa in baked bar format, and you really can't go wrong there. Once, I picked up a latte as well, and it was overly expensive but tasty. The people at the counter have been friendly at every visit. Maybe I'll come back for breakfast, but one of may favorite brunches (Max Gill and Grill) is just a few storefronts down, so that's not likely. I will, however, definitely be back when I have a craving for chocolatey goodness. read more

This is for the restaurant, I had the fried chicken and waffles. I forgot to take a picture, now I haven't had much fried chicken and waffles, so I'm no connoisseur but this was amazing. The chicken was moist but the skin crispy and gravy mixed with the honey was just so good!! I will be dreaming about this meal for awhile! I also got a latte with almond cardamom syrup and I thought it was really good, love the cardamom flavor. read more

Amazing food. The atmosphere is artsy and fun. Very much worth a trip to wash park. read more

Devil's Food Bakery - Eggs florentine!! Awesome - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Yum. I loved everything about this place from the atmosphere, to the staff, to the sign restricting cell phone use, to the mimosas, to the breakfast burrito that made it's way into my stomach...SO good. The art in the bathroom is a *little* scary, but the food is genuinely good. And they have this ADORABLE patio which reminds me of something I'd eventually like to have at my home. And although I've never purchased anything from their bakery, just looking at the items on display made me drool...definitely something I have to check out next time I'm there. read more

This place is FANTASTIC. It's super quaint and the food matched the style perfectly. I had the crab cake sandwich and it was delicious. I got the cole slaw as my side, which went perfectly with the crab cake, but I must admit, the potato salad was probably the big side winner at our table. Others at my table got the BLT, the Egg Salad Sandwich and the Chicken and Brie sandwich. All delicious, but I was still bias towards my own. They also had a roasted banana pudding for dessert that I was dying to try, but just didn't have the room. Next time for sure!! The only reason I did not give this 5 stars was the service. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. We were seated outside, which we thought would be lovely, instead, because of all of the walls surrounded the courtyard, there is very little air flow. When I mentioned wanting dessert, it took our waiter about 15 minutes to come back and see if I wanted to order anything. At that point, we were stuffed and just wanted to leave. So just a little on the slow side for lunch service. read more

My friends and I were looking for a little doggy boutique to pick up some snacks for my puppy. Jeff and Donny were craving coffee and went into Devil's food to get some iced coffee. While I was shopping for puppy treats, they bought ice coffee, oatmeal, white chocolate raising cookies, and regular oatmeal raisin. I had a little sample of each and fell in love! The cookies are a little crispy but very moist and derrrriiiccciiioouus! I had to get in on this and saw the carrot cake cookie. I thought it was just going to be a cookie that tasted like carrot cake, but to my surprise, the cookie was just crumbling like a slice of cake would when you first slice it! It was such a nice little surprise. The frosting was light and fluffy and sweet, and complimented the cookie so well. I saw a little dining side that I have to go back and try, but just for a grab and go cookie run, I definitely fancied Devil's Food. Thumbs up! read more

I just discovered Devil's Food today and I'm pretty sure I'll be back. To tell you the truth, I never knew this little area existed. Places like this can be hold such hidden gems! I knew I was in a good place when I saw that they served Novo coffee. Yum! After drinking a cup of excellent coffee, I ordered a fruit cup. No, I didn't' order one of their delicious-looking dishes. I had already eaten breakfast and wasn't that hungry. But, the fruit cup was great! It had strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and grapes. It was really quite a bit of fruit for $4. I'd definitely go back and try one of their entrees sometime. I just need an excuse to make the drive! read more

I've got to go with 5 here, at least for this first visit. I've been wanting to go here for awhile, but the hubs is not a breakfast (I know, they have lunch here) or a sweet pastry type of person so the name throws him off. We always end up somewhere else. Fast forward to Monday...I have a friend in town and we need some breakfast/lunch grub...I know just where to go! It's cute and country retro quaint inside. The bakery items look delish. We have great service. I ordered the grilled cheese with tomatoes and avocado with the house salad. The GC is served on delicious challah bread and is so so good. The house salad is topped with fresh berries and grapes and was yummy. My friend had the brie, caramelized onion and apple sammy. She added turkey and went with a side of mac and cheese...she loved it. I tasted her sandwich and I have to agree...wonderful. The mac and cheese was white, so I am thinking it was a white cheddar mac...she said it was to die for (maybe why I wasn't offered a taste) ;) Can't wait to go back...and I'm trying breakfast next time! read more

The bakery is outstanding. Beautiful ingredients and clearly made with care and craft. My go-to place for dessert and tea! Try the croissant, baked donut hole and sugar cookie with butter icing. read more

Friends, this place really disappointed me :( Nothing about this place has the charm of a nieghborhood bakery & coffee shop. Why you might ask? Well... First, their bakery items are extremely limited and resemble the kind of stuff you'd buy at the Albertson's bakery. My almond croissant was so sweet I threw half of it away. Second, the staff is unfriendly... and I mean seriously unfriendly. I felt like I was asking the barista to rub my feet and cobble me new shoes... that's how put out she seemed. Third, there's nothing about this place that has the neighborhood charm. It's dingey inside, they've got a wall of selling random stuff like lotion and toys, and there's nowhere to sit for just the bakery area (you must order breakfast and then sit in the crammed dining area). I'm so sad this place was such a letdown :( read more

The tarts are just gorgeous and they taste wonderful too. (The Key-Lime Tart is just wrong, it's so good.) My only complaint is that the dessert case is light on Sundays and I think it's because the folks at Devil's Food are off on Mondays...or is that when the little helpers come in and bake/bake/bake for the week? Regardless, they also have coffee and meals in a bohemian-casual setting. It's a wonderful place to have a morning meal with a couple of close friends. The atmosphere just feels creative and the food is really nice. It's a place I'd go to catch up with my friends or plan someone's wedding. Waitstaff is pleasant -- all in all, this is one of my favorite places to hang in this neighborhood. read more

What a cute place! It was my first visit to Devil's Food Bakery and it was a big hit with me and my two girlfriends. It was a gorgeous CO day so we were able to sit outside on their cozy backyard patio. They had lots of sweet and savory brunch choices. I don't personally have a sweet tooth, I know, I'm in the minority. But if I was ever to be tempted, their pancakes looked insanely good. I like the place enough not to dock them a star for the terrible service we received. I'm just going to chalk it up to our server having a bad day, or maybe being new? In the end, it didn't matter it was a great day for three friends who chatted, ate yummy food and walked away with smiles on our faces. read more

Pastries are delicious - we had quite a wait for breakfast though, and if there were little tables outside that would make the wait much more enjoyable. However, the brunch entrees were great - loved the eggs Benedict with a yummy side salad. My friend got the huevos rancheros and she was very satisfied. Friendly wait staff and overall low key comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely come back but probably not with another 45 minute wait. read more

AMBIANCE: I felt like I was eating in someone's cozy retro kitchen. I like it. FOOD: Not impressed. The only thing the chicken and waffles has going for itself is how appealing the gravy and maple syrup looks on top of the chicken and waffles. The balsamic blueberry salad was subtle to the point of boredom. OVERALL: The only reasons I'm giving it 3 instead of 2 stars is because my cortado with red rocks syrup was good and I liked the ambiance. I'd come back for coffee and maybe to try a pastry, but I'll take it to go. read more

This rating is solely for their baked goods. Devil's Food is not in my neighborhood, but I plan to make it back before too long since what I purchased was so damn good. Honestly, I don't think I could accurately list the smattering of goodness I brought home--probably close to one of everything they had in the case, all of which were noteworthy. Yes, I shared the loot...begrudgingly. The cinnamon roll was probably the stand out, but that may be because I have a soft spot for them. Give the Devil's Food bakery case a try if you are hankering for a sugar fix or need a quick bite! read more

We went here on Easter, I believe a wait is expected at this place because it is very popular. The decor inside is very homely and cozy. They also sell a lot of local brands available for purchase after you eat. I had a french press and ginger champagne for my beverage. Soooooooo good. I spilt the chicken and waffles with my boyfriend and it was still a large portion. I can't stress enough how good this meal was. The chicken had a great crunchy breading and the egg was cooked just right. Before we left I brought a confetti cookie. Very tasty! I recommended the chicken and waffles and you won't be disappointed! The service was a lot very good as our waiter was very quick and helpful. read more

AMAZING FOOD. It's seriously slow, but seriously worth the wait. Their customer service is amazing as well & the atmosphere makes it comfortable. read more

This review concerns this establishment's operations as opposed to its food (which I'd rate 4 as 4 star). Just to be clear. Twice in the last three weeks we've arrived, once at 12pm (Monday) and once at 1pm (weekend) and been told that there isn't a table. On the last occasion we were greeted with a blank look from the guy handling customers looking for tables and told that he "Didn't know" when one would be available. Awesome. I get that it's probably the best place on that little block of Gaylord for food, good weather increases traffic and that they have recently lengthened their hours and demand is clearly picking up. However, it's time to act like a big boy operation - if they are expanding too aggressively for their management / operations then they run the risk of alienating local/family/business consumers (like me) who've been going there for the last two years. I get that this place is "hip" but come on Devil's Food - get organized! read more

Oh, how I love Devil's Food! I'm not into sweets or deserts, so I go for their brunch menu. They make exceptions for my latte requests (except mochas- they use chocolate milk, so you can't ask for soy...), the food is always in large portions relative to the price and you know it's fresh because they source locally as much as possible... (The bacon is nitrate-free!) I've been coming to Devil's Food since it was just the bakery/coffee shop. Imagine how ecstatic I was when they bought the shop next door and started doing brunch! My next happy moment is when they started with supper. I have yet to go, but I'm sure it's delicious. read more

These pastries are sinfully good! This is my favorite place to come before work. The espresso is bold, robust, and pairs well with their freshly baked pastries. Yum! This little coffee shop is so cute. read more

Devil's Food Bakery - I love to espresso myself! - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great place! We sat at the little patio, weather was perfect. Ordered a bottle of champagne and 2 juices, server was great, extra nice. Food on point! Husband ordered chicken and waffles, perfect and I ordered eggs benedict. Will def go back. read more

Service and food is always great! You can go healthy or hangover food for whatever mood you are in. Coffee is super strong, and super good! Definitely a must go if you love breakfast and cool atmosphere read more

Allow me to preface this by saying that I am a huge sucker for old Gaylord street. The area alone is intoxicatingly charming. HOWEVER. Devil's Food was incredible all on its own. After wandering in and awkwardly asking where to sit, (the front portion is a bakery, and the restaurant seating is in the back), the chipper waitress helpfully pointed my boyfriend and I in the right direction. Most importantly, the Egg's Benedict is OH MY LKAJSDLASDGOD delicious. Every ingredient was made with love, and I just wanted to cuddle with the perfect execution of breakfast heaven. And by cuddle, I mean devour. The atmosphere was quaint, with local art and doors leading to nowhere hanging on the walls, and an adorable tiny 50's kitchen set tucked against one wall as a water station. (There is something inexplicably wonderful about a mini-stove). Go to Devil's Food. Eat the Egg's Benedict. And revel in the warm, eggy perfection. read more

Gosh, this is one of those places that I just can't get enough of. It is definitely one of my favorite spots in Denver, and I consistently bring friends from out of town here. Its like hipster central in here sometimes (o, hey wash park), but coffee is good, food is good, dessert is ridiculous and the service is the best! Sometimes the service can be a little slow, but there are times (usually for brunch) when the place is just slammed and yet manages to have wonderful service. I really like that the servers are willing to help you out and make some great recommendations when you can't choose. No one has yet to steer me wrong. Its pretty decent pricing considering what you've got in the neighborhood. I've never gotten anything more than once, so can't say there's a fave item on the menu, but thats because its all so good... Now I've made myself hungry, time to visit Devil's Food soon! read more

Service was good, place is kinda small so there is usually a wait. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, came in a bowl biscuits were almost burned on the bottoms. They were extremely dry, so the amount of gravy that came with them was not enough. The gravy was very bland, as was the food my friend had. Took a look at their pastry selection, all were very bland and dry. Who sells a Danish without frosting? For the price and the location your better served going someplace that serves food with actual flavor. read more

I've heard a lot of chatter about Devil's Food so I felt pretty confident heading there for breakfast this weekend with some friends from out of town. To my great delight, Devil's Food not only met, but exceeded my expectations! I ate the eggs benedict (sorry folks - no gluten free menu here, so I decided to break my diet rules...) and I have seriously never eaten such delicious hollandaise sauce! Everyone else in our party enjoyed their dishes (we ordered a peach pancake to share and it was so good - especially the cinnamon butter that came with it) and the coffee was delicious and free-flowing. In addition to stellar food, the ambiance at Devil's Food is cozy and chic. I'm already plotting how to get back to Devil's Food soon, which is a great sign! read more

I don't know why I love this place so much, but it's my favorite breakfast in Denver. I've been here a handful of times and have never had anything but great service and incredible food. I highly recommend the Egg Sandwich, but am also very partial to their omelets. The back patio is quaint and typically very busy on the weekends. While you wait for a table, grab a cup of coffee or pastry and enjoy the people watching, you won't be disappointed. The price tends to be a little higher than I like for breakfast, but the quality and taste of the ingredients more than make up for it The organic feel of the place tends to give me the sense of being healthy, even if I'm not. Go here and enjoy!!! read more

I've taken practically everyone I know to Devil's Food and they all love it. They seem to strike a perfect balance of casual but food-snob approved fare in an atmosphere that isn't the least bit stuffy. Their philosophy is exactly what a restaurant's should be: Local, seasonal, and organic-when-they-can ingredients that allow their menu new dishes daily without pandering to the cheeseburger and fries crowd. Whether you're popping in for coffee, breakfast, lunch, or dinner- you'll love it. Don't waste another meal at some crappy chain, support local and check out Devil's Food! read more

the pork burrito and biscuits & gravy are AWESOME... And if you're there for lunch - grab the green chilli (that comes with cornbread)... it's mighty tasty and guaranteed to keep you warm through the afternoon... and don't forget the cookies and tarts on the way out! read more

I really like Devil's Food. Sure, its in a somewhat pretentious part of town, but I like it. The coffee is great, the service is up to par, and the food is really delicious. I recently ordered the *Eggs and Cornbread* and loved it. It's a little different than your average scramble, omelet, or breakfast burrito yet it's something savory and delicious all the same. I was impressed with the creativity of something so simple and yummy as cornbread on their brunch/breakfast menu. The brie and corn salsa really made it. Also- they use a lot of local ingredients. Brownie points (and their brownies are dandy). I would love to eat one of their *hedgehog* delights found in their pastry case- maybe someday when I'm on a pj chocolate binge (probably nearer in my future than I think). read more

Went to Devil's Food for a private-party dinner. Great service and fantastic food. read more

Delicious. I went there last weekend for brunch, and after much debate, went with a Devil's Food scramble. For my three ingredients, I picked gruyere, scallions and bacon. If you go there, you should do that. Yum!!! (I also hear the home made Pop-Tarts, when available, are great.) read more

Daughter and I got eggs benedict and it was very good. But the Benny's were delivered lukewarm which should be a minor sin. Accompanying salad was fresh and lightly dressed. I also got the biscuit which was a bit dry. Strawberry jam was excellent. Diners next to us got the chicken pot pie and it looked tasty. Daughter got a grapefruit based drink also very good. But my bloody mary was horrible, not drinkable. I'm not sure how such a simple drink could be so messed up but the celery salted rim needs to go. Couldn't taste any alcohol and it was watered down in general plus too salty. Also seemed to have added celery salt in the drink itself not just the rim. Just give me the traditional celery stick for the saltfree crunch. Cekery salt also seemed to be in the drink itself. Tomato juice is already salty. Service was excellent, servers seemed happy to work there. Overall warm and inviting place. I would come back though when in the area to try again. read more

The staff was so sweet and attentative. Best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had with brussle sprouts slaw. Pancakes fluffy and blueberries so sweet. The deserts were amazing!!! We will be back for brunch on Saturday and are planning to be back for the 5280 deal!! Can't wait!!! read more
