Outside the Breadbox

So my 5 stars is for their products more than for the facility/location. Their products are in the Co Springs Whole Foods and Natural Grocers. I originally purchased a loaf of the vegan oat bread at Whole Foods and I can say it is probably the best GF bread I've ever had. Plus the carbs are low for GF bread- almost making me question the accuracy.I drove to their location specifically because in other reviews it appeared you could sample all of the products. Since I intended to stock up, I wanted to go there. Plus I figured you get a selection of ALL of their items vs the limitation of the stores that carry the products. As you know if you are GF that the items aren't cheap. I didn't want to drop money on a $6 loaf of bread and dislike it. So if you are thinking the same thing, be warned, they only sample whatever they're baking that day. I went on a Thursday and they sampled jalapeño cheddar crackers, choc chip cookies and vegan oat hoagie rolls. So I wasn't much farther ahead. The crackers were really good- tasted just like a cheez it. Maybe even more depth to the flavor. I got a another vegan oat, since I know I like it. I got brown rice bread, cinnamon raisin bread, garlic oat bagels and choc chip cookies. I haven't tried the bagel or cinnamon raisin yet but the other items were awesome too!One additional note on their retail location- they have day old for 5% off and 2 day old for 10% off. It's not a huge discount, but if you're throwing it in the freezer, it's worth the savings. Plus you know it sits a few days on the shelves of the other stores anyway ! The date was 4-5 days out. I also think the cost per loaf is less there. Bread was $5.99 and I paid 7.99 at Whole Foods for it. If it's not out of your way, you'll get to sample a few things, save a few bucks and know it's super fresh!!

GF Hamburger buns are delish! Haven't tried their other products yet but will in the future.

Unassuming store in a largely residential area. Pretty adequate parking in their own lot. As others have said, there is no wonderful smell of baking when you enter, and stocks can be rather limited. I'm just thankful that it's available at all, and that it's a pretty good product. It's remarkable that they can produce enough to sell at a variety of large stores in the Denver area. Even though the need for gluten-free products continues to grow in the US, it is still quite a gamble to produce multiple lines of GF baked goods. I remember days past when the rice flour bread was distinctly grainy and heavy. This is not the case with Outside the Breadbox. We tried the brown rice bread and dinner rolls while we were visiting the area. Also tried the apple and cinnamon hand pies or empanadas. Flavors were on point, as were the textures. It's great to have a resource like this, and not have to develop your own recipes. Some of their stuff is more take-and-bake, which should be a great way to get freshly baked stuff and fill your home with wonderful aromas.

I am always confused when I go in. I feel like I should be walking into a bakery that smells like fresh bread and has lots of fresh options in cases. What I find is a lot of frozen bagged bread, a few snacks bagged up, and a bunch of other brands. Very tiny loaves- my husband is not gf and only does it to keep me safe. He was not a fan. The bread was dense and dry. The hot dog buns were hard, and hard to bite. The kids just ended up eating it separate. The dinner rolls were the winner of it all. Crusty on the outside, soft on the inside very pleasant taste. The crackers were sweet and did not have near-enough salt. Meh. Only one employee at the register behind the door. Not very welcoming or helpful. I'm glad they are moving to a more convenient location. Hopefully they will set up the front end better.

I will say that this bakery has the absolute closing thing I have ever found to cheezits. They also have really delicious "cinnamon crisps". They are basically cinnamon graham crackers. The lack of the fifth star is due to their lack of inventory. I wish they would provide a wider variety of product.

Hi Outside the Breadbox! Thank you for creating and selling allergy friendly baked goods. Thank you also for providing an option for items to be shipped as I live in CA. I have a 6 year old son who is severely allergic to most of the top 14 common allergens plus several other food allergies. I sincerely appreciate your company's mission and for helping families with food allergies have a safe option for baked goods. Your vegan oat bread is the only safe sliced bread I've been able to find for my son and it will continue to be a repeat order. My son loves them so that makes us huge fans!

We have several food allergies in the fam -- gluten, dairy, and egg -- and whenever we are in Manitou we make sure to stop by and stock up on some loaves of vegan and gluten free bread. Yes, it's pricey but that is what you'd expect at any similar specialty bakery. We're happy to know of such a place!

We were driving when I unexpectedly saw this little bakery and decided to take a chance on this place. So glad we did. My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and we have been looking high and low for good tasting gluten free products. We bought a few loaves of bread and a bag of cinnamon crisps. They are all very tasty. They have several other prepackaged gluten free and vegan options. Can't wait to try these out in the future.

Their gluten free Vegan Oat Bread is soooo good! You can eat it without even toasting!

Best GF bread I've ever had! Plus they have many vegan options which is helpful for family gatherings
