Coffee for sale
Caroline Y.

This is a bakery tucked away on a side street in Thornton that serves pastries and coffee. All of the pastries are frozen. You can take them home to bake, or you can have somebody at the counter heat them up and eat inside. Seating is limited, so I would recommend grabbing a couple pastries and heating them at home. I had a Nutella cruffin and a strawberry croissant. Both were very flaky and yummy! They sell gift boxes of pastries. It would be a really nice idea to get somebody a pastry box as an alternative to flowers. I'm imagining giving someone this gift for a new baby, get-well, birthday, etc. With the stress of the holidays coming up, who couldn't use a couple pastries? You can grab a coffee or espresso drink at the counter as well. Please note that they only have dairy milk. No dairy free milk options are available. Overall, I'd recommend the spot as a place to get take and bake pastries.

Cliche-ish is what I'm about to say. Have you seen this bakery? Have you tried what they bake? I swear if I wasn't interested in looking somewhat civilized and of course grown up I would be doing somersaults, screaming like a maniac and at the same time feeding myself everything that I can get my hands on and worrying that I will be thrown out n be banned for life. So all that happened in my head. thank God for self control. Whew! So, this bakery is owned by a real cute Frenchman. Julian. Eye candy for sure. I mean all the things that he bakes! Lol! He's only 35 but he's very successful in his field. The pandemic brought two different things to the world of food. Success or utter failure. The former is the story here. Three things to remember for next year. 1. During the holidays Santas visit to their retail store. 2. A new retail store is going to open in Spring by DTC Arapahoe and 25th. 3. They're also a production company and produced their first #lechallenge event. ( that I missed) Julian was happy just to hide behind the sack of flour and confectioner sugar before the pandemic. But his desire to help his staff survive this major event he decided to open his area to the public. Hence the retail section was born. Litrally in the back of the building which also houses his baking paradise. I'll let my photos tell the story a bit more. Prepare to drool.

Decaf coffee beans

Do you want to feel like you have been whisked away to Paris? This French bakery is the place to visit...there are three locations, this location doesn't have a sit down place but you can always enjoy the baked goods here while strolling a in a near by park or even in your car as you tune in to Parisian music on your iTunes. We visited here to get a treat for my daughter's 13th birthday. She ordered a butter croissant and I ordered an almond croissant. My heaven's! It was the most amazing croissant I have ever eaten. I washed down my croissant with a hot white chocolate mocha. (There is no decaf at this location but the barista offered to give me one shot instead of two) There is plethora of various baked goods here. You can get a discount on frozen items or preordering...I am not completely sure but check out their website for more information. I also was ecstatic at their decaf coffee bean option. I have already tried it and it was fantastic! Overall, I had a wonderful experience here and I am looking forward to checking out their other location that has a dining area.

I really want to give this place five stars, but I have to give four because the lack of choices. I get it, we aren't in Europe where bakeries are filled and you can find one on every block. However, brilliantly talented staff. Quick service. And the pastries and bread are to die for! Yes it is a bit more on the expensive side, however it is totally worth every penny!

Delishisness

I was scrolling though Yelp looking for something yummy and new- happy day, I landed here at LaBelle. This location is a pick up spot, not dine in but don't let that full you, it's the hook to crave the dining experience and yes I'm hooked. 0 plans, just check it out and walked out with quiche and some delicious items to enjoy at home. I sampled one of the treats and OMG- two to go please. Complimentary coffee, the staff were so kind and top it off w spinning the wheel for a little surprise before you go. For me I hit the 50% off Win win, oui oui. We will be back.

Ummmmm how have I not reviewed La Belle yet? They're only the makers of the best croissants in Denver. (I said what I said) Don't get me wrong pretty much everything from here is wonderful but if I could only choose one thing on my prison menu it would be their plain croissant because it truly is wonderful. They also make delightful sweets, and highly recommend their raspberry cheesecake (my personal favorite) which is not only stunning to look at but decadent and bursting with a tart fresh raspberry in the center to cut the richness of the cheese. Sorry Hank (he doesn't tolerate dairy that well) I also really enjoyed the Rocherr if you are wanting to treat yourself. I have to also say I recently got an Almond Croissant for my mother as they are her favorite, and I always thought I did not like an almond croissant...well I'm guessing maybe I just never had one because holy moly. I will never NOT get this again. It might have moved up on my list of breads sitting right under the traditional and about the cinnamon roll and chocolate. Another bonus, they do specialty croissants on the weekends (usually in summer I believe) and they always some sort fun and unique. Definitely check them out if you are in the mood for some epic French pastries

This place has too many delicious options it makes it difficult to decide. Although anything you'd get would be scrumptious either way. You can't lose here! I ordered a butter croissant, raspberry Mother's Day croissant, & a coffee eclair. The raspberry Mother's Day croissant was my absolute favorite! It had fresh raspberry jelly and whipped cream inside and it was a blast of delicious flavor. I'm so happy I live just a few minutes away. I'll definitely be returning!

Almond Croissant Strawberry Croissant Blueberry Muffin Pain Au Chocolate Croissant
Hazel Joy B.

The lady that served us today was so friendly and gave us recommendations since it was our first time in the bakery. We got the strawberry, chocolate and almond croissant, blueberry muffin, cookies, and dessert. As you walk to the bakery, you can smell the inviting scent of freshly baked pastries. The lady explained that they sell them frozen to preserve the quality of their croissants which makes sense but you can request to heat them up as long as you eat them in less than an hour. I think my favorite was the muffin and the variety of croissants. My partner is not a fan of the strawberry croissant because of the sweet jelly inside but for me it was good.

The remnants of delicious!  Le cruffin au fromage (Cream Cheese Cruffin)
Dede C.

I received a bountiful gift of pastries from here... EVERY LAST ONE HAS BEEN DELICIOUS! The quality, the presentation, the love baked in is all wonderful! I would recommend you run down and grab as many as you can! Try them all, I'm headed down to try the savory sandwiches soon! They look so tasty!

The almond croissants were delicious!
Tina J.

So many delicious pastries to choose from! Some of the ones I tried are: almond Crossiant, pomegranate mango mousse, pecan, cinnamon roll, cookies and cream, and chocolate Crossiant. It's a little difficult to pick a favorite, but I feel like no matter what they make, it will probably be tasty. I will most definitely come back here to buy some more and try new pastries too!

Delicious
Mike B.

Walked in to buy a croissant. Ended up buying $30 of the best tasting I have ever had. La Belle sells their pastries to coffee shops all over town so I see them everywhere. The strawberry and almond croissants are to die for! It's hard to say no to these delicious treats

Strawberry cheesecake, a couple Paris-Brest, almond financier and a cholate dessert (forgot the name).  And a baguette in the front!
Veronique C.

3 1/2 stars. I was very excited to try La Belle's pastries as I was dying to eat a Paris-Brest! They used to do only wholesale, but with Covid, about a year ago they opened for retail. The place is small but pleasant with a lot of their  delicacies on display.  I got a few different pastries, a baguette and a financier.  A complaint I have is that all of it is frozen and I can tell the difference with a fresh pastry (although a lot of people seem to think they taste the same).  They make sure you know about it and inside the box they explain how to deal with it to make sure you keep the full flavor and flakiness of their pastries. I assume it works better for some kinds than others. When I visited, they were very busy with customers; it was a constant flow of people coming in, but they managed to be quite efficient and very friendly. Since everything is frozen, I was also surprised and disappointed that a lot of the items on the website were not available.  $7 for a pastry is a little steep, even for a beautiful French one (they do look amazing!) and at that price I'd expect something fresh. I know, I might be a little obsessed with the frozen issue. It seems I am in the minority, all the reviews are great, but I honestly was a little disappointed.  Still, I'll go back when craving a Paris-Brest, it's cheaper than a trip to France!

Sourdough bread
Gale M.

La Belle is a challenging place to find but once you find it you will be rewarded! The ground coffee is a bit expensive but you forget about it after you brew it. The pastries are as good as I have had in France. I did not pick up enough of them and will require more trips back. I was challenged to try the gluten-free financier. I said I did not like gluten-free products. I took the challenge and I could not tell it was gluten-free it was tasty and delightful. The French cinnamon role was really flaky, which I really liked. The sourdough bread was also outstanding. The products are frozen and you are given instructions in the box and at the shop on how to bring to temperature to enjoy. Though s'mores dessert is not a traditional French pastry, it was also enjoyable. Desserts are refrigerated because how delicate they are. Again, La Belle is challenging to find but well worth the hunt! I plan to be back several times while in Denver area.

I try my best to work with local companies whenever possible.  Sadly, my 20 year long business…read moreassociation with AD&F has come to an end.  Two factors contributed to this. 1. The overall quality of AMD&F's product has gone down. Pillows arrive lumpy, cushions are not made to the specs, Dacron is not secured and generally just poor/rushed craftsmanship.  Luckily I run a workroom & have been able to make alterations to their products before reaching my customers.  But if you don't have access to the necessary tools, be prepared to deal with AD&F's customer service as the issues get resolved. 2. Most importantly, AD&F's customer service is terrible & in many cases non-existent.  The primary sales agent is rude, condescending & un-willing to do her job.  AD&F has an extensive product line & there is little effort made to help explain what's available. No advice on which items / style of construction is beneficial or more cost effective. You get the bare minimum.  If you're off by one word in an email, it can cost you hundreds of dollars &/ an enormous amount of time & effort to correct. Against my better judgment & in an effort to continue supporting my local community,  on 10/25/24 I gave AD&F's customer service an opportunity to bid and accept a job.  Clearly 'she' chose to be rude & suggest that somehow after 20 years of uninterrupted business, that I was  not an effective communicator.  I'd argue that she has become complacent & lazy!!   How many other small businesses have moved on from AD&F because of this individual & her lack of customer service? It's my hope that upper management will take this into consideration when reviewing this employee's performance at the end of the year. Attention to this matter stands to greatly improve AD&F's service to its' community at large.

Starting with the great, the shop is nice and people are friendly. The work area was clean which is a good indicator of the care they'll put into your vehicle. The actual installation work in my car was good quality. Where things fell short is largely with communication. My install included a sub amp and an LC2i. The total cost, including parts as I did not provide any wiring kit, was $420. I believe 3 hours of this was for labor. I was okay with the price as it including all the install hardware and the install itself was done cleanly. However, I never received a quote or an estimate and was just told the total at the end when picking up the car. They finished at the end of their day and sent me on my way without really showing me what was done. Including where things were installed. The second lapse in communication is with the LC2i. When I dropped the car off I listed the components I had for them to install. They never called or asked where to install the LC2i or the amp. In my past experiences these ended up in the trunk so I didn't think I needed to be specific. They ended up putting the amp under the passenger seat, which is okay but not ideal. It's good that I can access the controls to tune the system but when the seat moves forward to let someone or my dog in the back seat, the amp is exposed to being stepped on if someone isn't careful. The LC2i unfortunately was hidden under the dash, like it's a high low converter. Leaving it completely inaccessible and i was unable to use any of the adjustments to tune it, or have easy access to the outputs for future expansion. I was disappointed that these locations were not seemingly thought through with accessibility in mind, and that I was not asked for preference before they decided to hide the lc2i. When I called back and spoke with Guy, he at first offered to move the lc2i for additional labor costs, but after hearing my concerns he graciously offered to schedule another appointment to have them relocate it free of charge. This was very positive and appreciated. I'm not always comfortable having someone "redo" work on a car, and instead offered to buy some additional gear so I could pay them to install those and have them move the lc2i while they were at it. They price matched/beat crutchfield on the items I wanted, which also great. But then the quote to install a jl audio rd400 and upgrade the component speakers in the front doors was $845 (for parts and labor). I had to decline the quote. I will say that while their prices ultimately aren't for my preference, the work was done well and they were reasonable when hearing my concerns. If you go with them, please over communicate instead of simply hoping for the best as I did and you should be left a happy customer.

13th Street in Boulder is well known for its collection of comfort food and eclectic mix of…read morecuisines from Dumplings to Indian fusion, so it's no surprise that nestled near University of Colorado is Brasserie Boulder/Cafe Aion, a Spanish-French restaurant. As a former bookstore, this restaurant has a lot of charm that makes for a cozy ambience, especially on a Sunday afternoon. We had a mix of mix of French and Spanish cuisine, starting with Truffle Fries, followed by Beef Bourguignon and Shakshouka, and ending with Basque Cheese Cake. I also had French Press Coffee as well, and just to get that out of the way, wow, such a good coffee! I'm an espresso and Americano purist, and somehow this French Press tasted like a very good Americano with a more nuanced, sweet chocolatey taste. But enough of that, let's get to the delicious food, and yeah, they are all so good! The Truffle Fries to start is just seriously addicting with its potent combination of Parmigiano, parsley, and white truffle oil. In fact, the ketchup is completely unnecessary and detracts from the deliciousness of the fries. The aioli provided adds another twist to the fries for variety, too. The Beef Bourguignon is surprisingly soft and delicate, but never bland or mushy. It plays that fine line beautifully and it is a delight and comforting to eat. The beef is tender, yet savory. It's appropriate that Bourguignon has a red wine reduction component because this dish is as nuanced and delicious as fine wine. Now going to the Spaniard side of the cuisine, the Shakshouka fires it up with a tomato and egg stew that's bursting with flavor! There is balance with the acidity and cheesiness, coupled with one of the tastiest flatbread I've had in recent memory. Finally, the Basque Cheese Cake, named after the Basque Country in Northern Spain, absolutely delivers as a dessert. This isn't an ordinary cheese cake because of the dulce de leche and candied pecans. I just love having the playful contrast of the semisoft cheese cake with the sweet and crunchy pecans. The Dulce de Leche adds another layer of sweetness that is so delectable. It really is 3 different way of sweetness that all works so well together.
