    Wow. What a wonderful little find on our way to check out some estate sales. The croissants? Incredible. Got the ham and cheese, the leak, and the white choc raspberry and only regret was not getting more. And the staff? Incredibly lovely and welcoming.

    Menu helps know what day to try a certain bread.

    Cute inside. Very nice server. Viennese cream ok, clafouti very good & chocolate gateau delicious. I look forward to a return to grab the last two plus peach something and bread.

    i will take one of each...  on low carb diet u know..

    Open on 1/1/25. Wednesday. Stopped by to see what tickles my fancie and.... ended up getting chocolate croissant, Viennoise - Cream .... and sticky gooey bun. Ate the cream bun, so heavy, filled with fresh cream. Weighted a ton. Always love this store!

    This is small and cute bakery tucked in an assuming neighborhood. Everything smelled so fresh and tasted good! The service is very friendly. It has limited seating inside and a few sports outside. They have limited bakery items but everything we ordered was delicious!

    If you don't come for any other reason, come for the free smells. Everything tastes so good and service is always so friendly

    This might be Detour Bakery, but it is an intended destination from now on. My first visit came on a solid recommendation when looking for something delicious on a Friday morning full of tasks. I immediately loved the amount of parking and the hours on the window that indicated "730AM-ish to 1 PM-ish!" Warmly greeted by the staff, this southeast Denver authentic French bakery met my expectations and raised the bar. I had trouble deciding what to eat with all of the options prominently displayed and a room that smelled so darn good. Next time I will try the "Peach Thing" that was so appropriately named and looked spectacular. Indoor and outdoor seating, elected inside on a rainy morning. Their loaves of bread & baguettes are inviting (next time), and the open space kitchen yields excellent looks at what is being prepared. I tried an outstanding turkey croissant sandwich, added a fantastic luscious chocolate croissant, and sampled my partner's sticky bun decision (wise one). Plus, they offer soft drinks, which is excellent for those who aren't sparkling water or coffee drinkers.

    Strazza [strah-zuh, strazuh, sträzuh]…read more Noun 1. A concatenation of street and plaza "that connects pedestrians and cars in a safe and flexible environment". (Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle, 9/13) 2. A creative developer's term for a surface parking lot ringed with restaurants and drinking establishments which happen to connect said developer's two hotels. Aren't new, made up words illuminating? I came across the completely made up word "strazza" in the 'Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle' when reading about all the new restaurants that have been opening up in Glendale's City Set development. The word strazza sounds vaguely upscale. It's a word which may remind you of a stroll through the Piazza del Duomo while you are devouring biscotti, one after the other. Or perhaps it is a sensual word which, when spoken aloud by the likes of Sophia Loren, will unfurl your flag. Strazza. Where was I? Oh yeah, City Set. Yeah, none of the above dreamy notions will disrupt your visit to City Set. City Set is a very clever way of maximizing the real estate around the parking lot between the Hilton Garden Inn and the Residence Inn by Marriott. The line-up of restaurants and drinking establishments which surround the strazza is indeed impressive and a coup for Glendale: Jax Fish House, Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria, World or Beer, Udi's Cafe Pizza and Bar, and Big Smoke Burger are already bringing in the crowds. And still to open are The Kitchen Next Door and a Native Foods Café. That's a lot of variety which covers not only different tastes but different budgets as well. Smart, very smart. All the restaurants and their patios are adjacent to one other and overlook the parking lot so it kind of feels like you are dining on a public square of sorts, a 21st century commercial vision of an insipid street scene. I guess it's like a food court too, except instead of tables in the middle, one can park a car directly in front of their establishment of choice. If you can't find a parking spot directly on the surface lot, then there is underground parking too which I personally find more convenient than competing for a spot on the strazza. There is a shared valet service available too, but I haven't had the need for it. City Set is A-OK and I'm sure they are going to succeed because they seem to have the right tenant mix, the convenience of parking, are surrounded by the right demographics, and are adjacent to the busiest street in all of Colorado. For me, I'd rather have the real thing, as long as there is valet parking of course. Strazza.

    City Set is the latest and greatest piece of the Glendale renaissance. There are two hotels, a…read moregreat mix of sit down and fast casual restaurants, and a Verizon store. Almost everything you need, really. During a recent visit, someone told me that pretty soon this place will be "the next Vegas". Certainly a bit of a stretch, but one day you will be able to stroll with your adult beverage around City Set and over to the Riverwalk that is scheduled to be completed in 2016, I believe. Pretty cool! So why not five stars? Parking. There just aren't enough spaces to accommodate both hotel guests and daily visitors. While complementary valet parking is available (currently the only way to use the parking garage), I'm not going to valet the car just to run in and grab a sandwich or a burger to go. I think even bike racks are limited but perhaps this will be addressed in the future. In any event, City Set is a big boost for Glendale and a fun place to hang out. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this development.

Everything is as it should be; it is just perhaps not as good as some of its counterparts, Cherry Creek, and for that reason, it excels at having tables open when I have failed to plan properly and need a reservation.

Narrative lives up to its name for book club purposes, even if the bookcases turn out to be wallpaper on closer inspection.

The pork belly sliders read more as pulled pork, tender with the meat, with just a hint of slaw. Olives and almonds rounded out our spread, and were delightful, if a little pricey.

This place has that classic sports bar energy you hope for... TVs everywhere, a lively crowd, and the kind of atmosphere where you can kick back and enjoy a solid burger. If you're a burger fan, be warned--the menu is loaded. It actually took a minute to land on a decision because there are so many creative options. I went with the Burger in a Bowl and added blue cheese. Now let's talk about that... They don't do the "light sprinkle" thing here. They pile it on, and as someone who appreciates bold flavor, I was all in. The burger itself was cooked well and had great flavor throughout. It comes with steak fries, and I specifically asked for them well done... unfortunately, they didn't quite hit that crispy finish I was hoping for. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting. Service was okay--nothing negative, just not overly engaging or memorable. Kind of a "take your order and keep it moving" vibe. That said, the overall experience was strong. Between the atmosphere, the variety on the menu, and a really solid burger, this is absolutely a place I'd come back to if I lived nearby. Pro Tip: If you're a blue cheese fan, don't hesitate--they go big with it here. Final Verdict: Great spot for burgers and a laid-back sports bar experience. A little more attention to fries and service would push this into 5-star territory.
