Devil's Food Bakery - Denver

I had a chance to finally stop by this cute bakery in the Washington Park area last week and had a pleasant experience. This place has an extensive menu for both sweet and savory baked goods. When I was standing in line, I had a hard time deciding on which pastry to buy. Interior decors are so eye-catching as well. Everything you see inside this bakery is vintage from 1920 's era. It looks like a café in Paris where famous writers like Hemingway frequented (did Hemingway like coffee at all? Am I just making that up? Lucky me; I ended up getting two pastries with one price, by an accident. I asked for a zucchini feta croissant but the barista (who was so pleasant to me by the way couldn 't hear me well (or the blame is on me; my voice wasn 't loud enough so he put a zucchini muffin in a little brown bag which I didn 't notice until I had paid for everything (I also got me a 16oz iced black tea with light ice. When I politely/apologetically informed him of the little error, he, of course, kindly corrected it by giving me the right pastry and allowed me to keep the muffin as well. He said, It (the muffin is for tomorrow 's breakfast!! What a kind gesture!! Both of the zucchini pastries were delicious. I also liked my black iced tea. I believe it 's earl grey if I 'm not mistaken. They put some (light amount of cream in it but this cream did the magic. I do drink earl grey with cream in it so I wonder how he knew that without even asking me. Great job!! Right next to this quaint bakery, there exists another cute shop for gift and they are connected so you don 't need to go out of the bake shop to browse this gift shop. I had my iced beverage/food in my hand but the guy at the cashier didn 't seem it (I wasn 't really consuming any of it anyway. Oh wait, I may have sipped my iced tea but I was very careful by not spilling it!! What a way for two businesses to coexist by having this beautiful symbiotic relationship: sip and browse!

Mediocre, overpriced pastries with a side of holier than thou attitude. Give me a break with the level of snobbery in here. No thanks!

Overall: A place you need to be careful and not gorge at like I did on my first time. Pace yourself. Favorites: Lemon tart balanced between sweet and tart. Whipped cream was light. Coffee cake Moist and flavorful. Not overly sweet just right. Drinks: Lemonade freshly squeezed. Nice and sour. No sugar dump refreshingly tart. Herbal tea meant to get a hot tea, but this iced herbal tea did not disappoint. Perfectly steeped and crisp flavor. Latte Well done. Flavor is smooth. Service: Efficient and friendly. There was a bit of a line and they went through it quickly. Space: Limited seating. Connected to a gift shop. Not a place to cozy up but comfortable enough to eat for a short time. Price: Average price for nice pastries. I'd say, .

We were a group of 6 yesterday morning for breakfast at 8. We had to wait for about 20 minutes which I found odd because there were just a few others waiting and there was an open table for 6 sitting in view. But as i discovered they ended up short staffed so no biggie, completely understood. Even though they said they were short staffed, once we were seated everything went perfectly smoothly. We ordered our drink and then our breakfast which was server in decent time. The service was really good. I had the Huevos Ranchero and added Jalapeños (of course) and it was really delicious. Everyone had something different, and everyone was very satisfied. It was very nice having breakfast together with family! By the time we left there was a bunch of people waiting for a table, that has to tell you something too. This is a place I would visit again.

A really cute place for a cup of coffee and a pastry. It's got a bit of antique charm, a counter and some tables to sit at. The pastries are amazing and there is a terrific selection!! Prices are decent and the service is friendly. That being said, the line can be out the door, so relax and anticipate that delicious croissant while you're waiting.
