Shamane's Bakery

I ordered a caprese sandwich. The bread was stale, and the sandwich had very little in the way of flavor. Simply cheese and tomato, with no real vinegar oil basil flavorings in it. Extremely disappointing. Perhaps they are better for sweet things, which seems to be their focus. I see the owner's reply below. Two things: First, I asked the sales person the difference between the hot and cold, and none of the information you note below was conveyed to me. I was simply told I could order it either way. Warn your customers if it is not intended to be eaten as ordered Second, I have never order a Caprese sandwich warm. At all other places I am have had it, the bread was tasty and not stale, and there was a far more flavorful spread.

I have had quiche from Shamanes before and it is utterly delicious. Order a whole quiche if you can. I took my elderly mother there for quiche and coffee. While I am grateful it us not warmed in the microwave, it was not served hot enough - it wasn't warmed through and the flavors were meh. Service was excellent and atmosphere is charming but very tight and while we were lucky to get a table, chances are slim. They are busy and the baked goods looked fabulous. Quiche just needs some extra attention.

For years I spent at least a day around each holiday celebration making pies and sweets for our gatherings. Then I found Shamane's! The quality of her sweet and savory offerings can't be beat and every time I go in it is with a smile on my face because the staff is so friendly. (And typically super busy!) The triple chocolate Christmas cake pictured was a special order and it was just as delicious as it was hard to cut into because it was so beautifully finished. Everyone loved it. Thank you Shamane and crew!

Shamane's Bakery has been our favorite bakery in Boulder for years. Every single item of food, baked or otherwise, is absolutely delicious. It is so clear that Shamane's puts care and love into everything they do. I am writing especially now because my husband and I were so fortunate to have Shamane bake our wedding cake. We got the French Lemon Pound Cake as well as Devil's Food Candied Orange, and they were both mouth-watering. Moreover, Shamane worked with us to make the cake of our dreams. We had some very specific design ideas, and she executed them beautifully. We are so happy (and lucky) to have had Shamane's Bakery bake our cake! (photo credit: Savannah Chandler)

I had Shamane’s make our wedding cake and cupcakes and they were phenomenal to work with from start to finish. The team is so responsive, was willing to work with us to make our ideas come to life, and was so accommodating when we decided we needed delivery less than a month out. Shamane is lovely. Our desserts were amazing, and our guests were raving about how good our cake was all night. Now we return to the bakery to get sweet treats when we’re in town!
