Devil's Food Bakery
1020 S Gaylord St, Denver, CO
Crema's Take
“This charming neighborhood bakery feels like a nostalgic time capsule with its hipster-cool interior and genuinely welcoming vibe, where the real star is their exceptional house-made pastries—think perfectly balanced almond croissants and a standout cherry raspberry strudel that locals rave about. The espresso drinks are solidly executed, but it's the thoughtfully crafted baked goods with restrained sweetness and buttery richness that keep people making the pilgrimage across Denver, whether they're settling in for a slow afternoon or grabbing a quick bite before heading out.”

Fantastic pastries and desserts, honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Good cup of coffee as well!
Cutest bakery and delicious options. I love this sweet neighborhood spot. It feels nostalgic and homey in the best way. Everyone is welcoming and you’ll find something you love for sure! The attached shop is dangerous for fun items and candles too!
If it weren’t so far from my place in downtown Denver, I’d make this my regular coffee shop and bakery. Their baked goods are top notch. Not overly sweet and buttery- perfect balanced doses of savory and sweet that allows the flavor of dough to shine. I had the infamous almond croissant and apple raspberry strudel with a latte. Almond croissant is beautifully baked, crispy on the outside, layered airiness inside, and right amount of filling that doesn’t compromise the texture of the bread. Worth every dollar. Will definitely be visiting again and bringing friend next time!
Excellent bakery on a shopping block in an older neighborhood. Very good espresso based drinks, pastries and pies. The cherry raspberry strudel is particularly good. The sweetness of the crust is a nice contrast to the tart cherry/raspberry filling and pairs well with the latte. Service was great. It was friendly, prompt and efficient. The space is in an interesting older building with both tables and counter space for seating. They do have Wi-Fi available. There is a view into the back area where employees are busy baking. The on street parking is limited and can fill up during peak times.
Easily the best almond croissant I’ve had in Denver. Add to that the heavy hipster factor of their interior, and slightly too cool for school attitude but still down to earth, and you got a shining star right here on south Gaylord. Makes sense as it’s connected to the slammin brunch spot next door at Myrtle Hill.
