The Most Delectable Bakeries in Aurora

Cuba Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (624) • $$

"Love it here, their cafe con leche and spinach empanadas are my go to. Ive tried other items like the sandwiches, they are huge and you can definitely feed two with one and they give plenty of fries. Sometimes i have a hard time communicating without my husband but they always make a effort and call someone to help. They are super friendly, organized, and their food is good what more can you ask for."

Taste of Denmark

★★★★★ 4.7 (482) • $$

"I've been to Denmark and this tastes like what I ate there. Honestly, I think that's the most generous thing I can say. We stayed with friends there and my friend's husband brought home breads and pastries. We ate them and they were incredible. When my friend got home, she scolded her husband for getting the lower quality stuff from the supermarket. If that's low quality, wht do we have here in the US? We did try the stuff she wanted him to get and it was even more incredible and our minds were blown. This was on par with that and I feel that should give you all the information you need to know that you should try this!"

Aviano Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (610) • $$

Quince Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.7 (387) • $

"Best coffee house and I have been to so many. Best espresso hands down. Thanks for still offering a dark roast!! Delicious menu items. Thanks for offering vegan options!!Phenomenal ambiance. Super well done. Top notch service. Best part, the entire purpose seems community focused. Check out their website for purpose statements, land acknowledgment, and upcoming events. Inclusive and safe. Just love this place!!"

Izzio Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (362) • $$

"So glad I popped over while visiting Denver. The pastries are always very fresh. Try to get in early because many of the items sell out quickly. The bakery is in a marketplace setting with cafeteria style seating available. The line moves quickly and we checked out fast. No real interaction with the staff other than stating which item we wanted."

La Fillette Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (344) • $$

"La Fillette Bakery translates to "Little Girl Bakery" but they only produce BIG GIRL FLAVORS! Be prepared to be extremely WOW'D by the pastries, you'll want to order everything you see. Follow your tastebuds (or eyes), nothing will disappoint! Mine led me to the Morning Bun... the mature version of a cinnamon roll. It exchanged icing for a demerara sugar coating and cinnamon swirls for zesty orange notes. ABSOLUTELY WHIMSICALLY DELICIOUS!It's what I imagine Mary Poppins has for breakfast because it instantly fills you with cheer and the positive pep you need to get your day moving n' grooving! Plus, if you dine in, you'll have lovely service in a delightfully designed cafe. You'll feel cute. You might even use your imagination and pretend you are in Europe. :DCan't wait to go back and try more!"

Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (367) • $$

"Great Italian pastries. Very fresh and incredibly flavorful Awesome serviceI dream of their cannolis"

Dolce Sicilia Italian Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (274) • $

"Definitely a place to stop by to try a variety of delicious Italian treats. Met my parents and 15 year old nephew for lunch. My parents insisted we all order the meatball sandwich. It comes on an 8-9" hoagie roll baked in house of course, with 4 medium sized meatballs, marinara, and ricotta. All the ingredients are tasty, but it is a more than a little messy and wieldy to eat, with meatballs slipping out. I wish they had oiled and toasted the inside of the bread so it didn't get soggy, but that's just my nitpick. Would recommend if you like meatball subs. I think it was $12 or maybe $14 per sandwich (as of 6/2024). Technically I could have finished the whole thing but on a warm summer day I just ate half and took the other half home.They also have calzones and a variety of pizza. The pizza looked really good so I think if I ever go back that's what I'll try. The calzones looked enormous.Afterwards we each got a dessert. I tried a pine nut cookie but then saw it was gluten free. The cookie is basically an American style macaron with almond paste and egg white, then topped with pine nuts. Not the most exciting option but it was fine. I also got a single shot of espresso ($2.50). They had a double shot for $3.50. I kinda wish they just sold the double for like, $3. It was good espresso and they served it in a real porcelain cup with a saucer, so kinda fancy. My nephew got a custard eclair with chocolate icing that looked really good. All the baked goods look super-appetizing. One weird thing was the pricing wasn't super obvious when I was looking at the cooler and cookie shelves. They had a few breakfast options. Everyone working there was very nice even when my parents were talking in a confusing way about what they were ordering and if it was for there or to go."

Etai's Bakery Cafe 29th Ave

★★★★☆ 3.9 (357) • $$

"Before boarding the flight to Florida from Denver we were looking for place to have quick breakfast and we were looking for the local place.We decided to have breakfast from Etai's Bakery Cafe. It is a small cafe having indoor and outdoor seating with the warm atmosphere. The cafe was clean and staff was friendly.From the menu we decided to order California Omelette, Garden Avocado Salad, Falafel with Tahini Sauce, Acai Energy Smoothie and bakery food.The service was good and we got our breakfast soon.The bakery products were good, delicious and made with fresh bread.Omelette as well as salad along with falafel were delicious too. Great breakfast options at Etai's Bakery Cafe along with the smoothie."

La Baguette de Normandy

★★★★☆ 4.3 (276) • $$

Azucar Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (276) • $$

"James and his team did a great job on our wedding cake! From the tasting session, to deliver and execution everything was amazing.We picked the Bavarian cream marble tiered cake with a semi naked frosting, as well as chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, and brownie bites for our guests. James was super flexible with the additional treats - just ask he can probably make it for you! He's a great baker and we loved supporting this small business for our wedding. We highly recommend whether you are having a wedding, birthday, or just looking for a small treat this is your one stop shop!"

Detour Bakery

★★★★★ 4.7 (209) • $

Milk & Cake

★★★★☆ 3.9 (303) • $

"Had a hankering for a chocolate shake and found milk and cake right off of I 25 and Hampden. All I ordered was a simple chocolate shake and boy is it delicious! They have a huge variety to choose from from your standard milkshake to what they call cake and shake. I believe shakes with bits of homemade cake in them. I was looking down the list and there are certainly some options I would like to try and I will be back. The young lady behind the counter that made my shake was very delightful and friendly. Give this place a shot as the summer heats up."

Crumbl - Greenwood Village

★★★★☆ 4.1 (264) • $$$

"The cheesecake "cookie" that they had on this week's menu was so divine, I could eat 14 of um (ifykyk lol). This place is amazing and I love the cookies!!!"

Under The Umbrella

★★★★☆ 4 (207) • $

"Slowly has become one of my favorite breakfast spots. Ideal place to pick up breakfast on a sunny day since it's basically a pick up window so you will be standing outside.. and sometimes there is a line and a wait to grab the food but it does move quickly. They run out of burritos pretty often (I have actually never been able to snag one!) but my go to is a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It's big enough for two in my opinion if you don't have a big appetite. Their coffee is also solid. They have summer specialty flavors and such if you're feeling adventurous!"

Legacy Pie Co.

★★★★★ 4.8 (142) • $$

"After dining in the area we walked past Legacy Pie and decided to check it out. All of the pies looked amazing, as well as the ice cream, jams, pie fillings, and other goodies for sale.We had the cutie tart cherry pie between the two of us, and could have easily downed the larger mini size. They had an apple bourbon, mixed berry, pumpkin, chocolate mousse and peanut butter, as well as some savory pot pie options.We also had a cappuccino and latte to pair with the pie. They were very well made!"

Katherine's French Bakery and Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (212) • $$

"What a great day to sit in the patio at Katherine's. If there wasn't so much noise that's coming from University, this would be a perfect spot to feel like dining in a cafe in Paris. The background music at the right volume soothed me.I met up with a friend of mine at this place for a brunch at 10:30am on a Saturday. From the past experience, I knew it might be hard to grab a table during the peak time in the morning especially on a Saturday. I needn't worry; there were a good number of tables available inside and outside.This place has everything: from benedicts to crepes to quiches to French toasts to fruit cups to salads, I mean you name it. Out of so many items on the menu, my friend and I went with crepes.I went with Boulder (crepe). It's got sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, haystack goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes. I asked for an addition of one-egg scrambled. My friend went with Breakfast (crepe) (bacon, egg and cheese) with avocado addition. Just so you know, they have both savory and sweet crepes.My crepe was amazingly good; A little tanginess that comes from the sun-dried tomatoes did the magic by adding a great flavor to the entire dish. And both hers and mine crepes were a good size (we couldn't finish it so we asked for boxes.)Now, this place got busy after 11:30am. It took such a long time before our waitress got us the boxes and the bill (because she was busting her bottom.) We were very understanding of it; it appeared a little short-staffed and fortunately, we had time.We, of course, stopped by at the display of cakes and pastries to look at before walking away from the restaurant. Everything looked amazing but I went with the lemon tart. My friend got her a chocolate croissant. There was a huge display of Eiffel Tower built with Lego pieces (which had a sign that said "Do not touch"); I took a picture of it. Cookies that are shaped like Eiffel Tower were very cute."

Mr Biscuits Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (115) • $

"What a great spot to grab a good breakfast, fast and cheap! The girl up front was friendly and attentive. It's a grab and go place so don't expect to eat there."

Paris Baguette

★★★★☆ 4 (165)

"My family and I love Paris Baguette, it is a must to stop when in the area. Clean, friendly, great customer service, love all the treats. We always order our Birthday Cakes here."

Rosales Mexican Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (133) • $

"My friend grew up going here often for a sandwich and/or treat, so she brought me here as my final lunch before heading to the airport. I'm sure I'll have to come back and try other pastries, but I ended up grabbing one that seems like it might have strawberry in it? I didn't ask questions so we'll see how that goes lol We also ordered the ham and cheese sandwiches which come with avocado and tomato. They also give you jalapeños on the side, but I happily gave those to my friend. I was stuffed from just eating the sandwich, which is why I haven't tried my pastry yet!"

Wave the Grain

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133)

"Food is great. Lots of dairy free, vegan, and gluten free options. It is a little expensive, especially the bread loaves. The desserts aren't too expensive though"

The Duffeyroll Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (127)

"Happy Memorial Day bun. My go to spot when I'm in Denver. Some of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. We come for the pecan swirl cinnamon roll and the peach cinnamon roll. Definitely is a must try spot. You can't go wrong with any flavor cinnamon roll you try."

Great Harvest Bread

★★★★☆ 4 (127) • $

"I started getting bread loaves and pastries from this location about a month ago and have been so pleased with every thing I buy. My young sons look forward to sandwiches and breakfasts and I enjoy knowing that I'm giving them quality food. I had an issue recently with ordering items through a delivery app and when I called the store, the owner Joey was a delight and fixed the issue right away so I could get my Great Harvest fix! I recommend this place to everyone I know!"

Crumbl - Littleton

★★★★☆ 4.4 (101)

"Amazing cookies and amazing customer service. Love the fact that they change up their cookies weekly"

Cakeheads Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (110) • $$

"Love the birthday cake we ordered here. I highly recommend cakehead! The cakes are delicious. My favorite is chocolate cake with strawberry frosting. This is a recent cake for my mother's 70th birthday. So perfect!"

Daniel's of Paris

★★★★☆ 4.1 (115) • $$

"Well hot dang! Walked into the bakery and that first whiff of sweet heaven touched my soul like the first sip of my morning coffee. We gorged ourselves with Korean BBQ and decided we needed a sweet. Heheh, and then we found Daniel's of Paris.It is a quaint spot, but so many goodies inside! I forgot to take a picture of the displays because I was too busy drooling and deciding what i would get. My friends got the carrot cake tarte and chocolate mousse tarte. I got an Almondine, Paris Brest, and chocolate mousse tarte. Ohhh, they were DI.VINE. I loved that the filling was not too sweet - it was that perfect taste of sweet but just a little to sate your palate. I am so happy we found this place - we will definitely return!"

Little Finch

★★★★☆ 4.2 (107) • $$

"This place is one of my favorite cafes, with well rounded offerings from coffee, alcoholic beverages, wine, fresh pressed juices, food, pastries and cakes. What really stands out for me are their cakes. I've tried every single one with the chocolate fudge being my ultimate must have at least once a month. Yes they re pricy for their size, but packed with quality and taste out of this world. Definitely a must try, and don't forget to let it sit out to acclimate to room temperate before engulfing. Their flatbreads are a great choice as well. They have a plethora of coffee drinks from classics to specialty ones. I typically stick to espressos, Americanos, or drip coffee, but I tried the Cafe De Olla and actually enjoyed it. The service is always delightful and pleasant. The interior is comfortable and well lit, and very modern with a warm finish. There is ample seating inside and out. Overall a place to check out when living in or visiting downtown Denver., it won't disappoint."

La Petite Crêperie

Great Harvest Bread Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (104) • $

Kneaders Bakery & Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (153) • $$

"Terrific sandwiches and salads plus huge bowls of soup. Many different types of bread and a good dessert collection. Definitely one ups Panera"

Kneaders Bakery & Cafe

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (244) • $

"I get it now! I've heard for years that Kneaders makes a delicious French toast, but they simply haven't been on my radar for breakfast. Today that changed. I received an email touting a special $3 offer for French toast, today only, and I bit. Chunky Cinnamon French Toast is 2 hand-sliced, thick (1") pieces. (I ate only one immediately, saving the other to eat later at room temperature. Still wonderful!) It's served with sliced ripe, fresh strawberries and a nice-sized dollop of whipped cream, as well as warm, buttery, maple-y syrup. Even eating it in my car, I loved it. I ordered a side of bacon ($1.50) that was crisp and perfect. All-in-all, I was pleased and impressed. This location has a small immediate parking lot (although there is much parking close by around other stores) and it was full. Since I'm using a walker right now, I thought the drive-thru the best choice. Even with a 10-minute wait due to the special offer, the food was served hot and delicious. The cashier at the window was friendly and efficient. I'll order it again, and cheerfully pay regular price."

Crumbl - Parker

★★★★☆ 4 (95)

"Good cookies, good service, convenient location and crazy good hours! Go to the Crumbl in Parker!"

La Belle French Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (88)

"I stopped by this afternoon and bought a chocolate eclair to go. I was shocked when the salesperson rang it up to be over $9. It's not that big either. As I was driving home I was mildly outraged and felt that it better be the best eclair I've ever tasted for that price. Once I got home I tasted it and was surprised at how good it was. It has an almost crisp texture on the top of the eclair and then they sprinkled it with a few chocolate nibs that added a little more crispness to it. It was very good. Though I'm not quite convinced it's worth the high price. I would give it 5 stars if it was even a couple dollars cheaper."

Bird Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (95)

"The food here is really good! I had an avocado breakfast sandwich that was excellent, with a cappuccino that was also very good! The restraint is very cozy, but the chairs are super uncomfortable and need to be replaced ASAP! It's a new restaurant, so I've ran into some issues where an employee tells me these things already come in my breakfast sandwich, but they don't, so I have to send it back so they can add it... I'm just going to ask them to humor me and put it on there for the kitchen anyway hahaThis place is also great when Pancake House is packed or is "missing" your reservation haha..."

Great Harvest Bread Co

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81) • $$

"Great place to grab an excellent sandwich, made with fresh ingredients. The best part is the bread -- made fresh on site with natural ingredients. They offer so many choices, It's hard to choose. I had to let the manager/cashier guide me. She knows bread!!!! Orders are prepared on site and delivered to your table shortly after ordering. So much to choose from, I'm sure I'll be back for another one of their comforting and satisfying lunches."
