Mini roll trio - mountain maple, zesty orange, and pecan sticky bun
Megan M.

Stopped in after hearing that this was a Denver staple. They had a line on a Saturday morning, but it moved rather quickly. Decided on a mini trio so that I could sample a few different flavors of rolls. If was less than $5 and all three roles were awesome. As many others have described it, like a cross between a cinnamon roll and a croissant. Really like the zesty orange, not just for the orange flavor, but for the sticky glaze on top as well.

Its been a while since my last visit to this location. With the move and new schedule, forgot about this place. While training for marathon at Wash Park and being famished after, this was perfect place for that quick, informal place to grab some delicious food. The manager on duty was very informative, briefed on new menu and the changes. I ended up getting the coffee and warmed up sticky bun. Perfect companion to each other. Early Saturday morning, no one was around so we got the outdoor seating. Yeah and ambiance. Perfect weather, awesome food. What more can you ask for?

Peppy turkey club

I love this place so much! The peppy turkey club is so delicious I dream of it. The workers are always incredibly nice, and the inside feels so homey

Snapping Sausage minus the spinach and tomatoes.
Jon L.

I like the music! Not sure what some of the other patrons think of Chemical Brothers or classics from LCD Sound System at 8:00 AM but I like the jams! I like the snappin sausage sandwich, but I don't feel like eating warm tomatoes this time of day so I get it veggie free. The bread is so soft and chewy and the eggs are light and fluffy.

Every month we order catering to celebrate the birthdays in the office. This month we decided to try Duffeyrolls mini variety packs. Since we ordered catering for delivery the only interaction I had with the business was with the delivery person who was very nice. I had never had a Duffeyroll before. To me they were a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll. I tried both the Zesty Orange and the original. The zesty orange is great if you want a different bright citrus taste. You cannot beat the original, the OG of the Duffeyroll. These rolls were a bit sweet but great for an afternoon break. The minis are the perfect size for a sweet indulgence. These were a huge hit for our office. For me personally, they were a bit dry and I prefer the softer texture of a cinnamon roll.

My personal trainer poo pooed Duffy rolls! I should've known better as this from a man with 0% bad fat and thinks Paleo is just peachy. Great Trainer poor sugar rush Sherpa Duffeyrolls are delicious. Loved the classic, orange and English toffee. Pretty Light and buttery We took a bunch of minis home for Christmas brunch. Cute location great service Keto pissssahhh

Came here Saturday about 10:50 am, not realizing how long the line was. Waited about 20-30 mins to get my half dozen duffeyrolls. They were understaff so I'm not going to give this place a hard time with the wait. They were busting butt with orders and I was not in a hurry to anything. The place is decent size, casual, and nicely decorated with customer photos along the walls. For my half dozen, I got a bacon and cheddar, blueberry cobbler, original, English toffee, Irish cream, and maple. Overall, I think the duffeyrolls were okay. I like them better than a donut and a cinnamon roll. They are not as sweet and perfect in that sense of sweetness. I'd come back again, but they were not out of this world where I'd be craving for one the next day. This place is definitely worth a try outside of your typical donut shop.

Cute and clean bakery. Not so busy on a Sunday around noon. We tried many flavors. I would say the veggie roll and the peach cobbler were my favorite. The mini treats were also very good. Not too sweet and the dough is fluffy and so yummy. Service was overall ok and very quick. Definitely recommend.

My name is Eian, I am a yelp reviewer and I'm curious Is this a establishment based off cinnamon rolls ? 😜

Duffeyrolls began as one amazing "cinnamon roll" which is now The Original. They now have cobblers, savory, and even glazes! Duffeyrolls also has a full breakfast and lunch menu for catering or in 3 locations in Denver currently. Oh, and… Read more

Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.
