Artisan bakery offering European pastries, breads, and coffee.
"One of Denver’s best bakeries by far now has a dashing dinnertime alterego. Thursday through Saturday, owner Shawn Bergin and his team build a six-course tasting menu ($90) around pastas like brisket anolini with chive oil or lobster gnocchi with peas, which are preceded by appetizers such as buffalo burrata with bread and sundried tomato pesto; followed by an entree (sea bass in parsley mousseline with baby yellow chard, for example) as well as dessert, of course; and optionally paired with select wines by the glass. The mood in the sunny Berkeley space is casual, but the food is special occasion–worthy. For details on reservations, click here. (By the way, Bakery Four has yet another notable new sibling in the form of Rich Spirit Bagels in Wheat Ridge.)" - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff
"A cult-favorite Berkeley bakery known for a rotating, irresistible pastry lineup that might include chocolate-orange scones and lemon meringue danishes one week and mocha cruffins and spiced apple coffee cake the next; expect long lines forming before the 7:45 a.m. opening (Wednesday through Sunday), limited indoor seating, and a little park conveniently located across the street." - Ruth Tobias
"A beloved bakery that transforms twice weekly into an intimate, multicourse pasta-focused tasting experience called Night Off, showcasing culinary range and experimentation." - Ruth Tobias
Lines form for naturally leavened breads, croissants, and occasional breakfast sandos. Frequently recommended by Eater Denver as a go-to morning bakery, with hours focused on earlier service until sellout.
