    Lemongrass pork
    Tiffany N.

    It was good but I was expecting a little more. I've had Banh and Butter on my list for awhile but I'm rarely in the area. I think I built it up in my head so it sat on a pedestal from all the buzz I've heard. Everything was fine but again, expected something wow worthy. We came here for lunch, love that everything is to go. I was sad to see the traditional cold cut banh mi sold out for the day I pivoted and went with lemongrass pork sandwich. Similar fixing to banh mi, it tasted fine but the pork was rough and tasted ok. They have gorgeous pastries and Vietnamese coffee drinks, I would come back for one of those. We split a cup of cakes (cute!), Boston Thai Tea. Flavor was spot on and appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. I would stop here again if I was in the area and needed a banh mi but don't see that happening. I would rather go to Federal or Aurora for one with more flavor.

    Stopped in with my family after a Dey at the Zoo.... about a 15 min drive away. The pastries are so pretty and the ones we ate were very good. They had Bánh mi sandwiches , bowls, sweets, coffee drinks, wonderful almond croissants. We had all of the above :) It's a small area with about 4-5 tables but a nice and comfortable. The employees were very nice. They were featured on a television show so we thought it would be fun to try. Go check them out.

    This is probably the best bakery that I have been to since Rheinlander in Arvada, but completely different. I got several things to eat, including the Creme Brulee Cruffin, pandan coconut cupcake, and Thai tea cake. The Thai tea cake was delicious and had some interesting flavors to it. The Thai tea creme with the chocolate was delicious. The pandan coconut was a little dry for me and I don't think I would buy that again. The Creme Brulee Cruffin might be one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. I would literally drive to the other side of Colorado for this cruffin. It was perfect. It was crispy on the top and creamy in the middle. If you go here you need to order this, and you can thank me later. I also got the ube latte and it was amazing. The drink is, of course, bright purple and perfectly sweet. I can't wait to go back again.

    I've come here for coffee & pastries a few times. They have some good, unique baked goods-- always ube options even for your coffee. The space is small but welcoming and the staff is really friendly as well as helpful. Highly recommended and will be back!

    The desserts and pastries here are off the chain good

    This should be on repeat!! The Banh Mi sandwiches are delicious but the sweets are the real gem here. Park in the back to avoid the hassle of colfax. It's easy to get distracted by all of the dessert options in the bakery case. Pastries. Cakes. Cream. Fruit. It's all here in combinations that will make you say, OMG. We had a Pain au chocolate, ube black sesame cake, egg nog and ginger cake and passion fruit cake. All were fantastic and unique in flavor. We had all the coffees but the ube foam makes for a whole new experience. The chicken banh mi Sammie's heated are so good. Love the pickled onions and aoli on a homemade baguette. It's hard not to eat the entire thing. We went a bit crazy and spent $70 but it was worth every penny. Seating is limited. Four tables and some small spaces for individual dining. Service directed to one customer at a time so you have to be patient. Huge bakery space which tells me the bake and sell to commercial customers.

    What a lovely bakery! The sister shop to the awesome restaurant, Dan Da, this bakery has got so much going for it! See a plant? You can buy it. See an awesome painting on the wall? They're by local artists, and you can buy them! My favorite pastries from here are the Strawberry Croissants! They are so crispy and light, and the flavor is just phenomenal. Would highly recommend, especially as a party tray! I also tried the Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi and WOW! Absolutely delicious! Would def get it for lunch every day if I could!

    Cute Vietnamese bakery spot right next door to Dan Da restaurant. We came an hour before close so most of the baked goods were gone. It was super cute instead with limited seating!

    Banh mi pork sandwich on a everything bagel
    Anna H.

    We see why this place has such high ratings, the creme brulee cruffin was my favorite, super fluffy and buttery layers in the inside with a sweet crispy topping. I would come back to just get that again. The Vietnamese cold brew with Ube foam was really good, super strong Viet coffee taste, however, there wasn't much Ube foam as I would have liked so I probably wouldn't order that one again. My husband ordered the banh mi sandwich with the everything bagel, which we thought was a genius idea! The taste was good and they add A LOT of jalapenos, so perfect for the spicy lovers. The only thing I'll mention is that it's a lot messier of a sandwich than a regular banh mi, but it was worth the try. Service was super friendly and nice. They have a decent amount of seating but some of the tables were too close together, making the benches really difficult to sit on.

    Ube foam lattes, mango pandan cake, pandan cupcake

    Finally made it in here!! Easy to miss, but once you find it you'll never leave! Cute little place where they support local artist and display their work, along with indoor plants. It has a small retail area for trinkets and treats. Came here before dinner, since it closes at 4pm. So no better way than to have dessert first then dinner. There's a parking lot in the back if there's no parking on the streets (better in the lot anyways). You'll go through the hallway passing by the kitchen where you can see them make all the goodies. It was late on a Saturday, so not many options were left, but good enough to leave a pandan cupcake for me! I also ordered a Iced Ube latte to go with it. My friend order one also along with a Mango Coco Pandan cake. We both devoured it there and left no room to speak! The pandan cupcake was dense, moist, creamy, and overpowered by sugar. It was perfect. My friend didn't say much. She was enjoying her cake so much, that only a bit of cream left on the side of her mouth lol. Our Ube latte was refreshing perfect after a nice treat. I've come back again to try the Ube cake and Vietnamese egg coffee. The cake was delicious, but I shouldn't have eaten it all at once though! Couldn't handle myself haha. The egg coffee, it didn't sit too well for my palette. I couldn't taste the authenticity of it compared to other places I've been and of course, Vietnam. That didn't stop me from coming back. Got another Ube latte and a pandan cupcake.

    Tried the cold cut and lemongrass pork bahn mi's- I thought they were both decent if you're already in the area. Price is a bit steep, $13 each. Parking is behind the restaurant

    Ube foam cold brew
    Liza P.

    The baked goods and coffees were amazing! We got the ube cold brew and Vietnamese coffee and both were great. Pastries were INCREDIBLE, with my favorite being the almond croissant (but it was a hard choice, all of them were fantastic).

    Beautiful and delicious! My favorite combo
    Chris P.

    What an incredible bakery! Just check out the beautiful holiday treats. The only problem I had was only choosing a few of my favorites. Definitely a mistake bringing my daughter as that ended up costing me. I guess it's an early Christmas gift for her.

    For a second I thought the banh mis were a bit overpriced until I received my order. Each banh mi is enough to serve two people! I loved the pork and the pickled vegetables inside. Next time I'm definitely cutting my sandwich in half or asking them to do it. Service is wonderful. The girl at the counter was bubbly and down to earth. She made plenty of suggestions but I wanted to stick with the tried and true. I was also deciding on drinks and landed on an iced tea that was wonderful! The place is light and airy with prints to purchase lined up against the walls. For a second I thought it was an art gallery with a cafe but the entire space comes together nicely. Would return to try more menu items!

We've dined inside before, but yesterday we stopped in to pick up pastries and were reminded why this is one of our favorite bakeries in Denver. We grabbed an éclair, a blueberry muffin, and two ham and Swiss croissants. Every single thing was outstanding. The croissants are incredibly flaky and buttery with the perfect ratio of ham and Swiss, the blueberry muffin was moist without being overly sweet, and the éclair disappeared embarrassingly fast. We always have every intention of taking pictures... and then we take one bite and completely forget. That's probably the best compliment we can give. We loved sitting inside, which is intimate, cozy but still roomy. We are looking forward to sitting outside in their patio space. Staff are also exceptional!

The place was modest and quirky, with a random small chandelier adorning this bakery. Families, groups of friends, and cyclists were in the mix of patrons on a Saturday morning. All servers were very friendly, helpful with dish descriptions, and fast! The ham and cheese croissant and a shared cinnamon bun was in the cards. The pastry was flakey, buttery, and very tasty. The sesame, roasted onion and garlic sprinkled on top of the pastry was delightful. The warm cheese and ham inside were also good. The cinnamon bun was a nice mix of croissant and cinnamon bun; also flaky and buttery. I am guessing flakey, soft, and buttery is their signature! One minor thing, that coffee was not good, but the food made up for it. Overall, this was a very nice place that got us interested in all the pastries with that buttery flavor. For sure a recommend for visitors and locals.

It was a SINGLE pin on my google map - no pins near it at all! I must have pinned this at some point as "a place to go to sometime when in the area" but I really can't remember pinning it and am not sure why I would pin a coffee shop located in a church! However! This is the second coffee shop that I've seen in Denver while driving by - like located as part of a massive church, so it was interesting to actually be checking it out. It was a weekday and there was a vast parking lot and there were like 4 cars. LOTS of parking! Once inside, I immediately relaxed! Didn't even know I was tense! There was so much to look at and it smelled so good inside. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Something baked tho. My eyes wandered everywhere over the various retail areas, the furniture - couches to patio furniture, the people behind the counter, the various large chalkboards, menus, etc. Lots to look at. I wound up getting a spicy chai! I never order chai! I must have been under some strange spell from being immersed in the warm comforting baked goods aroma! The spicy chai had KICK! It was so good that I ordered a second one to go! My friend ordered that ham+cheese biscuit which looked amazing, with those cheese legs dripping! Whoa! It was such a nice coffee + conversation vibe. I would totally go again if I am ever in that area again! Oh! The 2 behind the counter were very friendly and knowledgeable about their vast variety of menu and drink items!

I wish it would have been a bit thicker but all in all it was very scrumptious. For that donut cake alone I would definitely come back.
