Stopped into Babette's on Sunday morning for something to accompany our coffee from Boxcar and yum! Husband got the ham and cheese croissant, which I tasted and loved and I tried the onion bialy. I guess I expected it to taste like an everything bagel so I was a tad disappointed when it turned out to be much plainer but I still enjoyed it and thought the caramelized onion center was amazing. read more

By far the best of everything we have ever had! you will be overly surprised that their mouth watering baked goods, pizza and bread are something to write home about! Wow!! read more

Pizza is amazing. Travels better than Rosalees. Baked goods and deserts are some of the best around. Highly recommend their chocolate pudding and fresh bread. To top it off, they have a nice and very helpful team. read more

Oh babbettes. I'm so sad you are closing but can't wait to venture to your new restaurant. You are so worth the 30 minute trek. This bread is not only the best bread in Denver but I venture to say best bread I have ever had. The gros de sel bread only lasts 1 day in our house and we fight over it. Pop one piece in the toaster GAMECHANGER!!!!!!! you don't even need butter....... the almond croissant is so amazing and crave worthy. Get the last bit while you can. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been going to Babette's since I moved to Denver in 2016. It's hands down not only one of the best bakeries in Denver, but one of the best I've been to in the world. The breads and pastries are classic French style with new touches on some. I always overspend here but never regret it. My only issue with Babette's is that they're closed on Monday and Tuesday, leaving me with just Wednesday to visit as these 3 days are my off days. Great stuff! read more

First time here and it won't be the last. Best cheese danish I have ever had (I'm a cheese danish connoisseur). Also got the country (sourdough) bread loaf and it is fantastic! read more

Finally! An amazing bakery in Longmont. Not only are the pastries deliciously fine in craftsmanship they are beautiful. No shortcuts on the croissants, butter laden layer after layer of pure heaven! But it doesn't end there! The bread, fabulous... fresh, crunchy just as if I picked it up in a morning market in France. Worth every penny and calorie. Cant wait to go back for pizza night! read more

Babette's Artisan Bakery - Babette's delicious craftsmanship. - Bakeries Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Was excited to try this new arrival from Denver. We think we know why they moved. Nice place. The pizza was burned top and bottom, with tough crust in between. Good flavors, but _very_ oily. While waiting for the pizza we had an olive and cheese appetizer - it was good. We then walked in to the bakery, where we saw that everything was overdone, most of it black. After eating the pizza I was curious to at least try a croissant. We selected one that, according to the price label was $3.50. It totaled $5.75. Then 5.25. We were told that "that's the way it came up." That's when my curiosity ran out and we left. I see some great reviews here (Not so much at tripadvisor, though) - many think it is pricey and burned. read more

Defending The Well-Made. Yes, it may lie within the Source and yes, you may have to mingle with the bearded and those who date the bearded BUT Babette's need not suffer from being linked to the emerging Denver hipster vibe (Portland three years ago anyone)? No pretension here. On only fine, well-made, and diverse offerings. If you have bought your daily needs in Europe, then you'll understand the quality and why handmade goods don't have the same look and feel as pre-made, plastic-wrapped, and Whole Foods industrial assurance. The price is impacted by the location but that shouldn't stop you. If you are inclined to search this town for bread, your visit, here, will be a reward. If you are already aligned to be crusty with the term 'artisan,' you're missing the point of this bakery and its offerings. My experience with the service was very positive. Kind and even-keeled. read more

I went to Babette's around noon today and they were practically sold out! This, in and of itself, says a lot. I purchased a well done whole wheat loaf because I wasn't into an olive loaf today. Wow! This bread is the real deal! The gorgeous, crunchy crust gives way to a super soft center. One slice was not enough in that moment. I cannot wait to go back later in the week at 8 AM, as recommended. Do not listen to the whiners who complain about slightly burnt bread. They would have never survived living in days gone by. And please don't listen to the people who complain about the fact that they are out of bread by mid day. They have no idea that this couple is baking bread when while the complainers are passing out at 3 AM after the clubs. Clueless. read more

The absolute best bakery in Denver. We have been coming here for a little over a year and we are regulars. Assorted pastries are wonderful. Their country sour loaf is our favorite and is a phenomenal accompaniment for food dishes, lightly season or served under eggs etc.... due to the very crunchy and sour taste we alway have a loaf at home. Being that my girlfriend is from Eastern Europe, she immediately fell in love with this bakery. Her and her parents both agree this style is reminiscent of her home town Minsk. I'm bummed out they are moving away from Denver but I wish them the best in prospect! read more

I heard about this Lemon Olive oil muffin thingy from a friend. I figured I'd better get right over to Babettes asap. I'd only been to the Sourse at night when they were closed so I made a special trip the next morning I was really worth it! A chocolate croissant, lemon olive oil muffin and 2 loaves of amazing bread later, I'm a huge fan. We sat at the tables in the public area and ate bread like Parisians. read more

INCREDIBLE pastries - I'm a sucker for a savory scone and they make a phenomenal one with chive and manchego. Also had something called a "cruffin," a slightly ridiculous tower of pastry, frosted and stuffed with strawberry jam. Crispy and delicious. Definitely will be coming back to try the pizza! read more

Amazing bakery! Phenomenal bread and pastries - a must stop in the Front Range! Also, a nice variety of grab and go options plus wine and other libations read more

After living in Europe for 5 years, Babette's is a breath of fresh air (or should I say fresh bread?). Thanks for moving to Longmont.

The service was poor, everything is burnt, I took one bite of my prosciutto butter sandwich that tasted like it was made in the previous day and threw it away. read more

Fantastic. As good as the best I've ever had, including in Paris. The blueberry frangipane danish was amazing - like a mix between a palmier and croissant, with almond paste woven in the swirling crispy caramelized layers of dough. And it was the size of a child's head. But yeah, I ate the whole thing myself. No shame. read more

So disappointed! I will echo some of the other reviewers and say everything was over-baked and on the verge of burnt. While the interior of the bread was tender, we could not get past the black crust and had to cut most of it off to eat it. Croissants were some of the flakiest we've had, but very little flavor and again so over-baked, it made it difficult to enjoy. And lastly, pretty pricey-we got a loaf of bread, 2 croissants and 1 pain au chocolat-at a total of almost $30! read more

I went for the first time this morning after seeing them regularly post all their delicious looking pastries on Instagram and were delighted to discover that they tasted even better than they looked. I'll definitely be making Babette's a regular staple going forward. read more

Oh. My. Word. Everything about Babette's is amazing. Tucked just inside The Source you'll find everything to meet your sweet tooth's needs. I ordered the almond croissant... and then immediately went back to get another to bring back to NY home to my husband. It was THAT amazing. We also tasted the cardamom pear cake, with its perfect sweetness and fluffy texture as well as a cardamom roll. Everything was excellent and the service was amazing. From now on, if any of you yelpers out there are planning to bring me a gift from Denver, it better be one of those croissants. read more

Have been coming to Babette's for a while now and they are absolutely one of th best bakeries around. The employees are always so genuine and kind. Definitely reccomend the cinammon roll, or just a fresh chocolate croissant with a warm cup of coffee (they use Boxcar beans). Babette's puts a lot of effort and care into what they do and it truly shows! read more

Delicious pastries and super friendly owner. Closest bet in Denver for getting traditional french pastries. Highly recommend.

If you want to overpay for burnt inedible bread and dry tasteless pastries this is the place for you.

Babettes is the best. We will trek across the state for the sweet sweet croissants. We always end up with extra bread and pizza. So good.

Bread here is absolutely wonderful.... when you can get it. This place has been closed the last 5 times we have gone (I wish this was an exaggeration). Their hours are very inconsistent. There are constantly signs posted stating they are not reopening for a couple of days. Call a head if you plan on visiting this place. Other than that they would have received 5 stars from me. read more

Amazing. Delicious. Great service and incredible food! The Twinkie cruffin...to die for. A must stop in Longmont!

The quality is above average, as are the prices. Most of the pastries are baked too hot, so the outside is overcooked. The prices are about double what they should be, compared to other European-style bakeries in the US and especially bakeries in Europe. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times now, and it is GLORIOUS. Their pain au chocolat is outstanding, and the chocolate cake I bought there had a light, crisp top and a deliciously fudgy interior. We bought a boule the first time we were there in order to make anchovy toasts, and it was outstanding. The crust was dark and crispy, and the interior was moist and ridiculously flavorful. It made amazing anchovy toasts and after that, the best croutons I've ever had. As for the people who think all of the bread is burned? They are wrong. It's a particular style of baking, and if it's not to your taste, great! Don't buy it! But calling out the baker for not knowing what he's doing because you don't like his style of bread is silly. The experiences that we've had with the staff have been universally positive. We went in the first time and asked a lot of questions, which the guy behind the counter was happy to answer. The second time we went in, the same guy was there and he totally remembered us. We also chatted with the baker a little bit, and he was friendly and happy to talk about his bread. When we first moved out to Denver, we asked a woman at a wine and cheese shop where we could get a good loaf of bread. She stared at us blankly for a few seconds and then hesitantly offered that there was a Wal-Mart down the street. So, you know, if you're convinced that the baker at Babette's is incompetent enough to regularly bake and sell burnt loaves of bread, there's always Wal-Mart. The rest of us can continue to purchase and enjoy the delectable range of pastries and breads at Babette's read more

Absolutely the best bakery and best pizza in boulder county! I want the crust recipe!!!!

The bottom line: along with Cheese Importers, Babette's is a must-go food destination in the Longmont region. Located in the somewhat Stepford but otherwise charming Prospect neighborhood, this bakery offers outstanding fresh pastries, breads, pizzas and more. The baked goods on display at their front counter inspired instantaneous slobbering from this food enthusiast, and upon further inspection (i.e. inhaling) of the offerings I was instantly sold. Delish. Whether it's ginger chocolate cake, a savory mortadella sandwich or a buttery croissant this place is bound to cure what ails ya. I would even argue that the pricing is fair given the high quality of their food. Sure, one might argue that this place is kinda hoity-toity but honestly that's what establishments of this pedigree are all about. With a very clean, naturally lit open floor plan and excellent service this attractive European-style bakery hits all the right buttons. I have completed several tasty transactions at this establishment and I foresee several more before it's all said and done. To do one's self a solid is to get here on the double. read more

This is the best croissant I've ever had. Pizza is also amazing, but this is the best hidden gem in Longmont. And the cheese danish? Ridiculous. read more

If you haven't been here yet, for the sake of your palette and sanity, GO! One of the most authentic Neapolitan pizza pies I've ever had. And of course, their breads are epic and world famous. The pastries are excellent, too! Basically everything they do is brilliant. Just go and bring your appetite. read more

WORLD CLASS bakery and the adjacent pizzaria is coming into it's own. Service continues to improve and the food is stellar. Went for dinner last night and had a near perfect caper/pepperoni pizza, arugula salad, great cocktails and wine, capped off with one of the best desserts I've had anywhere in the world. Steve and Catherine are uber passionate about their baby, and we'll continue to be some of their biggest fans. read more

Hidden inside the Source, we were convinced we were lost, but thankfully we ventured in and found them surrounded by some pretty pricey artisan shops. Unlike their surroundings their prices and value were totally reasonable. And my gosh are their pastries delicious! read more

This bakery has the best bread on the Front Range and is worth the drive from Arvada. Pastries are impossible to pass up and if you're there around 3PM the attached restaurant is also a must. They're on Twitter at @babettesartisianbakery if you want to take a look at their goods. read more

Awesome! Just as expected. The Canelle and almond croissant were on point and bread ugh so well done.

I agree with the reviewer that describes the burnt bread. I gave the place 1 star because at least they show up to work. The customer service deserves a negative star. I have showed up on Sunday three times and every single time I have come a bit earlier but they are alway out of pastries. When I told them that they replied I should come earlier. When I followed with this is not a good business practice they told me I should open my own bakery. I could not make this up if I had tried to. Of course I could also be very wrong and it could be that you experience the best customer service when you show up. It may simply be that in 2015 some people cannot fathom that a black person would tell them what to do. It's worth noting that not all French people are rude but there are those who poison the well for everyone else. My advice is to spend your money at a place where they value your business and you as a person. read more

I really really REALLY wanted to like this bakery: small business, locally owned, close to home... No. Nope. Nuh uh. I gave it the should be magical 3 times. Every single time the goods were all burnt. The first time, I heard the carmelization shpiel. Maybe. Tasted it: that bread was burned like my ex did me. Second time, I thought "maybe I went on a bad day. Give em another shot (see the reasons I wanted to like them)" . Third time: I was at the source for these amazing watermelon jalapeno margaritas that come with crappy service. I was on the way back to the table from the restroom. I stopped in the bakery. The olive loaf SOUNDED incredible. Bread looked dark and the space was dark. I thought it would be fine. Tasted it and it was burnt. Again. Like everything else from there. I'm done trying. Seems like Babettes is done trying too. read more

i'm sorry but i'm going to have to knock them down a bunch because of the same issue that several other reviewers have mentioned. Although the baguettes I bought were delicious, the bakery did smell of burnt bread and every other loaf on the fully loaded rack was closer to black (like a pumpernickel or dark rye) on the outside just like the burnt sample that I tasted. This was a lot different than the loaves I have seen, tasted, and bought there before. Artisan implies esthetics and denotes skill and proficiency. Taste what you bake, recognize what you're doing by smell and color. The recipes are sound I think, but the craftsmanship? Not so much lately. read more

Truthfully, Babette's turned into my steady destination for bread especially for parties. My new favorite is the Gros de Sel which, remarkably, also freezes and unthaws well. I'm a bit sad knowing that they suspended their bread program, but understand the reasons. read more
