25 Best Bakeries in Boulder

“We got the Herbs de Provence cake for our small wedding and it was amazing! I was the only GF one of our group but everyone loved it. Highly recommend if you want a delicious GF cake!“

“I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I like that they specialize in baked goods such as cakes and other treats. I ordered a matcha bubble tea with tapioca boba. I really prefer coconut milk in my bubble tea, but here they only offer regular milk or oat milk. I also ordered a slice of the basque cheesecake to try. The matcha bubble tea is good, but could use a little bit more matcha as it’s hard to taste. I chose the 25% sweetness level, which works well for me. The tapioca boba itself is perfect. Plump, soft and chewy, the way it should be. The cake slice is generous. Definitely a lot for one person to finish. The cake was really good. Not overly sweet, fairly light and fluffy and nice and creamy. The total for the tea and slice of cake was $15.86. They had mochi donuts and small puddings, but I wish there were other small baked offerings. Something between the donut and the slice of cake would be great. The location is okay. It’s hard to get to without a car. It feels more like a walk-in walk-out bakery than a place to hang out and do work, but they do offer outdoor seating which is nice.“

“I am not following a gluten free diet and I LOVE bread. Hävenly is my go-to for the best bread in CO hands down! I cannot even tell it is gluten free, the flavors are so rich and delicious!“

“Delicious, light, crispy crackers! Full of flavor. Fresh and addictive. Can’t stop eating them!“

“It was an absolute pleasure to be served by Mollie. She was professional, polite, and fun. I am definitely coming back for more drinking purposes and during alcohol during hours of operation. I mean wow! That spicy margarita was immaculate. I can really tell she put her heart and soul into that thang!“

“Amazing products for people with food allergies that taste fantastic!My son has extensive food allergies. He is allergic to wheat, eggs and milk to name a few. I was so lucky to find Welcome Gluten-Free Bakery. The James Granite cake from their menu has provided the chocolate/chocolate cake that he requests for his birthday. He was so excited and fully enjoyed it.They were also able to create chocolate cookies specific to his dietary requirements. He loves the cookies as well.I highly recommend the company and their products!“

“Efficient service for the line. A good amount of seating indoors, but you may need to wait a few minutes for a table on the weekend. Delicious, well-crafted pastries and a thoughtful coffee menu. The sesame syrup in my latte wasn't very noticable but it was a good experience regardless.“

“No lie this is for the discerning in all things coffee, matcha, breads, pastries, dry goods. Why?
Depends if you care or know the difference. If you don’t scroll past nothing to see here.
The beans, the grind, the temp the methods for the coffee. Sourcing, mindfulness you name it the coffee and matcha has it x’s 10.
So the flavor and complete experience is bar-none and I’m from Portland OR. You could be in France it’s that good.
Then if you like being not-poisoned with nonsense in your breads like fake folic acid etc this is your place. Almost nowhere else to find this available.
Great indulging in over the top-notch croissants and scones and cookies etc and know I’m not eating seed oils and therefore not going to experience negative digestive and other physical symptoms.
Sitting in the courtyard is really stellar as well.“

“The food is amazing and hits the spot after a morning of studying. I always feel so welcomed by the owner and staff. Such a cute breakfast spot!“

“Absolutely love the bison 🦬 pastie. The 🦃 Rueben & Cobb salad are other good choices. The ☕️ is tasty. I highly recommend Shamane’s Bakery.“

“The most fabulous coffee and morning goodies in the heart of Boulder. 💕 Complete with the daily horoscope and dog biscuits.“

“Stopped in here after like 10 years with my children, I remember they had some good cream deserts , and they still do. Got a Cream Puff and Hubiscus Iced Tea , both were amazing delicious in every way. Don’t miss this place , if I lived in Boulder I would be a regular! Yuuuum!“

“Every year I send my son a box of cupcakes for his birthday. This year the driver left them out on a college stoop and surprise surprise they disappeared. I contacted the store and was thrilled with the service I received!! Josh, I am beyond impressed with how they handled this. They sent out a second order and mom son did get them this time and was thrilled. I was expecting a hassle and instead they made it right within an hour or so. Thank you so much. This is not our first time ordering with them and it certainly will not be our last thank you so much!“

“Delicioso! Very affordable and huge selection!“

“Always the best food and baked goods!!! Especially the scones...“

“Excellent breakfast! Best bacon I’ve ever had and cooked perfectly! Pancakes are especially delicious with the best syrup ever!! Service was friendly and attentive! I will definitely be back!!“

“The brioche gluten free bread is a game changer for me. I have celiac and this GF brioche is so good and soft. It is the first time is 4 years that I've "enjoyed" a good sandwich. Thank you!

Dietary restrictions: GF Brioche is amazing!“

“Lots of gluten-free oat-based snacks with several different levels of sweetness, etc. Always coming out with new products that are increasingly focused on supporting us all as we focus on upping our own individual health journeys. It also seems to be a very high production plant/facility with considerate and helpful employees. 👍🏾👍🏾“

“Great espresso and super friendly staff, I love the variety of beans they offer. I don’t consider myself a coffee snob but I feel like each of their roasts has a unique flavor. I also love that they offer you some sparkling water for free when you order a plain espresso shot.“

“Sipping dark chocolate. So good!“

“I love Spruce Cafe! They have everything Spruce Confections has but without the Pearl Street traffic. Super cute and modern interior. Friendly baristas :)“

“I think Boxcar might have the best food and service I’ve ever experienced in my life. The coffee is of the highest quality and the staff is highly skilled in the products they serve. The pastries are life changing and I can’t say enough good things about the breakfast sandwich on the challah roll (a must try imho).

The other day my brekkie sandwich did not come with the bacon I added. I pointed this out and asked for bacon on the side to add. The barista insisted they would make a new one for me and that I keep the original sandwich. The new sandwich arrived quickly and they gave me a coupon for a free drink. I wouldn’t expect that but it was appreciated and shows a high level of customer service that will keep me coming back.

Revising to say that noise level can vary depending on what time you go. It’s never been above moderate but if you go earlier it is very quiet!“

“the staff are quite amazing, as are their tasty creations. I spent several years in the US Army, and your team cooperates on a superior level. Coffee taste wonderful, perhaps having cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg available to customize the ☕. Presenting and selling local art would be a nice touch, as would newspapers and travel magazines. Muchas gracias, ustedes tiene un Gran cafe y panaderia.“
