Button Rock Bakery & Kenny Lou's Deli

Used to love this spot, unfortunately in my experience it has changed. Really enjoyed their baked goods and sandwiches the past two years I've been stopping in regularly, but over the last 3-4 months there is something off. Many (not all) of the popular pastry and baked goods have been discontinued. Replaced with dry croissants, IMO. My aunt always gets the same sandwich, but last time we stopped she said it tasted different (can't remember what sandwich!). Prices are quite high for many items, but the quality and selection justified it at times. Someone told me they think ownership has changed, I dont know about that. Staff is great. Place is always clean and inviting. It was a good run while it lasted, time to explore other options in the area. ✌️

Special ordered a King Cake (lemon ginger cream cheese filling) for a party and it’s delicious! It was easy to order through their website, which I did a couple of days in advance, and it was ready for the time I scheduled. Very happy with my experience and will definitely be back :)

I live in Virginia and found this bakery through Google. I ordered a vegan cake for my sons engagement party in Boulder with only 3 days notice. I asked for a chocolate 4 layer cake with buttercream frosting (all vegan) and wildflowers. Not only was I blown away by how amazing it turned out, it was also delicious! We had about 40 people at the party and everyone raved how good it was. Dense, moist and so chocolaty! Way better than I had even hoped for! There was none left. I probably should have ordered more. 100% recommend this bakery!

They seemed as if they were doing me a favor by taking me order. I wouldn’t go back even though the bagel was pretty good.

Eggplant parm sandwich was amazing! Excellent bread, nice spicy sauce. Pesto a nice touch. Eggplant was roasted without too much oil

I used to come here frequently for pastries, cakes and sandwiches. A few times a year I’d order cakes from here as well. I always recommended it to others for cakes and regular food, especially the premade food in the refrigerators outside of the sales counter. In the past year, every time I’ve tried to get something I’m used to buying, it isn’t available or the quality is just poor. For the cost it was hard to stomach before, but worth it because it was great. I used to love this place. It’s not worth the price or headache. Earlier this year, I ordered my birthday cake online, but was called over a day later to tell me that they can’t make this cake anymore. Recently, I went in for premade food, but I was directed to their new store within Button Rock. They insisted the food items I was looking for were there. Instead, it was filled with imported sausages and meats with two shelves with prepared food. I ordered a sandwich and it was thin and lacking all of the beautiful stuff that made it a whole filling sandwich. I wanted to stay loyal here, but I’ve tried more times than listed here. Sad. I’m sorry Button Rock, but ya’ll could do a lot better.

Terrific bakery! Last year I ordered the chocolate Bûche de Nöel and I thought it was the best dessert I'd ever had. Looking forward to having it again this Christmas.

Literally didn't decorate a wedding cake in time for the wedding with months of notice beforehand. I will never go here again nor recommend them to anyone. How do you mess up a wedding cake.

Update:
I tried them again based on the feedback they left. I loved old button rocks thanksgiving offering and had a big family thing so I got a few things including a thing of brussel sprouts that alone were $36.

It was a rip off. A tiny tin of brussel sprouts that wasnt even full. I thought surely it was the wrong size and went back to the counter and asked - “is this the $36 size” the response was “Yeah, sorry” and she turned around. Apparently, I wasnt the first to complain. While I had been going here for years I never will again and will definitely warn others not to either. In the photo that aluminum foil is 12 inch wide ( the side the tin is on) for perspective. And they didnt even taste good. Tasted bland and mushy like they had been frozen at some point even though I followed directions for crispy.

I used to love this place and we did it all the time as I have to do GF but my family doesn't - so something for everyone. But we got an assortment of cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday at the end of July and the flavor was lacking. They looked pretty but it stopped there. The girls didn't even finish them so I tasted the frosting and it was really buttery- not much flavor regardless of the type - vanilla chocolate etc. very disappointing

The service is excellent and staff are friendly. I enjoyed the gravlax bagel sandwich on an everything bagel with plenty of lox and capers. The patio area is nice, and the bread pudding is tasty when heated. They also offer a wide variety of sweet treats.
