Edit: i really want to love this place! today as we were looking through the selections in the case i noticed a long reddish-brown hair on several of the gluten-free carrot-cake cupcakes i mentioned it to the young lady behind the counter & she looked & saw it & took the whole tray out & set it on the table behind the counter the person with me commented (to me only) that noone was wearing hair nets & there were a couple people with long hair today was my third time here & each time i've gone the staff has just not been very friendly or even nice. it feels almost like they're irritated that we're even there (i've taken different people with me each time i've gone) there is also a 'service charge' with purchases Better Customer Service & Sanitary Practices would be much appreciated❣️ I appreciate ALL Vegan Businesses but being vegan isn't the only thing that makes a place great They do have a good selection of vegan goodies. The Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream is Really Delicious! one of the best soft serves i've ever had! Super Creamy! Amazing Consistency! Delicious Flavor! Updated from previous review on 2022-01-09

*UPDATE* ****Just found out that they NO LONGER have their shop- they are now selling their treats at City O City & Watercourse ONLY. (They still have a very big selection, they just don't have their own shop anymore). **** This place is so cool- they change out the baked goods daily and constantly have new flavors. Right by multiple art museums and shops. So much to choose from, and it's a great local bakery!! Updated from previous review on 2023-04-29

They have so many options from pastries to ice cream. It was too cold when I went so I only got a cupcake, but it was definitely the most delicious cupcake I have ever tasted. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

As I walked by I saw people eating ice cream and they were really enjoying it. I asked where it came from and they pointed me to Make, Believe bakery. I couldn't believe it was vegan! Everything there. Check out their Hostess Cupcake like dessert. Updated from previous review on 2022-06-08

*wanted to give 5 stars but wouldn't let me* This place is so cool- they change out the baked goods daily and constantly have new flavors. Right by multiple art museums and shops. So much to choose from, and it's a great local bakery!!

The treats are delicious, and this Bakery is certainly worth going too. That said... The service charge is ridiculous, their is a 20% service fee that goes to everyone working (including boh) to 'pay a living wage.' I'm all for fair pay, but this encourages people to tip less and makes everything on the menu look cheaper than it actually is. Please just raise all your prices and increase your employees wages. This current system is predatory to customers and employees. Updated from previous review on 2023-02-06

4.5 stars. Tasty vegan bakery just down the street from the Denver Art Museum. Walked here with my partner and his kids on a freezing evening before realizing there's nowhere inside to sit. Yikes! We still bought a bunch of pastries, including a day-old pumpkin scone, Ho Ho, and Peanut Butter Cup soft serve. One customer inside at a time, too.I thought everything was excellent. Kids were a little ambivalent about some of the items, but I think that's par for the course. Fantastic local business to support, especially if your diet is vegan and gluten-free. Hilarious that one of the kids called out the fact that this place should steal some real estate from City O' City because it's so cramped!

After the last few visits to Make, Believe I felt like I had to come update my review. I used to love them, but they've gotten rid of my personal favorites (it happens, but it's such a bummer) and their stuff seems to be cloyingly sweet these days. On top of that, what used to be wonderfully service seems to be reluctant at best these days. My biggest issue is their outrageous service charge. I waited tables and have done counter service and I tip well, but I'm not digging the idea that you want me to pay your back-of-house and management staff as well - and then you put out a tip jar. Get it together, please. ----- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. It's a small store-front staffed with some of the loveliest folks in town. Selections dwindle as the day goes on but there is generally a great selection of regular and gluten-free options and it's all VEGAN! It's one of my go-to bakeries in town for ordering birthday cakes, too, and vegans and omnivores alike love them. My favorites are the chocolate peanut butter bars and the Boston cream pie. Don't skip this place if you're visiting Denver. Updated from previous review on 2018-08-27

My friend surprised me with cupcakes for my birthday and they were out of this world! Everything you want a cupcake to be — moist & yummy. Icing to cake ratio on point. And they were so pretty!!Funfetti & Ho-Ho are a must!

I originally came for the cupcakes, but the vegan / gluten-free sugar cookie ended up being my favorite.

I've never had anything bad from here and even my non-vegan friends like it. I crave the funfetti wizard basically all the time. I think the Oat milk soft serve is great.
