    This elegant coffee shop is tucked in the middle of the huge York Street Yards complex, alongside the 39th Avenue Greenway. There's quite a bit of seating, both inside and outside, plus a large overhead door that can be raised in nice weather to integrate the spaces. The usual coffees and teas are available plus chai, matcha, Thai, miso, and maple options. Apple cider is available, too. There are a variety of breads plus sandwiches and bakery items. There are also some gift selections and jewelry. The staff was friendly and helpful. My girlfriend enjoyed her latte. I was not thrilled with my hot chocolate which was watery and barely warm. However, this is a pleasant spot to take a break if you're working at York Street Yards or visiting the complex.

    Absolutely delicious

    Elemental has proven itself to be a 5-star coffeehouse. The reason why? Their bakery. Like, what voodoo magic and witchcraft are they cooking up back there?! As someone who frequents multiple coffee shops on a weekly basis, I'd like to think my opinion carries some weight. What Elemental excels at is their food and pastry program. Their housemade focaccia is something I fantasize about. Not just dream, FANTASIZE. Their pastries, even a plain croissant, you taste the difference. These cats are extremely talented in the back of house. A baking army that knows no bounds. Every single item I've ever had has been outstanding. Of course the coffee is great too. They use Queen City Coffee, and they have an espresso tonic on the menu, which is my kryptonite. York Street Yards, count yourselves lucky. I wish I worked at a retail shop next door so I could frequent this place every day!

    Little kind of hidden gem. I've heard of elemental Coffee, but I did not know this location was here. It looks like it's an area that's building out, there's a bunch of other small businesses here. I didn't even know this whole little like small business park existed. It's very cute. Absolutely recommend even if you don't go to Elemental Coffee (although I think that'll be a mistake) absolutely coming up to this neighborhood. Everything just kind of shown like immediately upon entering this place you know very acknowledge with Coffee you know obvious skill with Coffee right off of the bat. I love the fact that they're doing pour overs, not a lot of places are doing pour overs these days. The only place that I can really think of in the metro area that's doing it is Corvis, and Corvis is really a different experience and it definitely costs a lot more. First sip of the pour over I was thrilled. It's exactly the flavor profile I'm looking for from a pour over. It was clear from talking to the barista that he was more knowledgeable about Coffee than your average barista, he might have been the owner or the supplier. He was telling me about his suppliers where they're getting their beans experimental things that they're doing. One of the suppliers happened to walk by. He gave me a full rundown of you know what they're doing you know kind of what's new in different. Also, they're baking baked goods in house. As of writing this review, I haven't tried one of them yet I'm taking them home to my wife, but I can already tell that they are going to be phenomenal. There's some baked goods where you can tell by looking at them you know the quality you know of the of the croissant you know it's got that perfect flakiness. There's a lot of competition for coffee and pastries in the metro area. I think black box does very good pastries, some of them were a little experimental, their experimental drinks are definitely not for me. Bakery Forrest absolutely incredible baked goods, their coffee as I would call it pretty middle of the road. Obviously, I've raved on here about horse, which I think does a good job with both coffee and baked goods. This place is probably doing the best at both together of any place I've been to so far.

    Delicious pastry and yummy, creamy coffee. Thanks to Katie for the amazing service and for the recommendations on all the goodies - everything was so tasty! I have to come back for the sandwiches but they looked amazing too. The coffee was bold, smooth and creamy in the oat milk latte. The dining space is so quaint. The location had ample parking. Cute merch area with flowers and Queen City coffee. Need to come back to try other coffee selections. Such a cute spot!!

    Cardamom pastry and sweet potato latte!

    Elemental gets me. They also may possibly be the best kind of problem as it's en route to my office. Where to start? Excellent vibe. Local art for purchase adorns the walls and flower arrangements are for sale in the back. Love that they have windows into the bakery side too so you can see where some of the magic happens. About that magic... pastries are delicious and there's a good variety. Bread is EPIC. If I could buy a pan loaf every week, I absolutely would. Burritos are stuffed and have a great tomatillo salsa to accompany. For drinks, I've had their spicy mocha and sweet potato lattes, both of which were on point. They seem to have a good amount of events that go on every month and parking is nice and easy. For those who are looking to get some work done, outlets abound! I really enjoy coming here and can't wait to keep that trend going.

    Hot Mocha

    This place is amazing. A little hard to find even with GPS in an industrial complex but definitely worth the find. Stellar coffee and pastries with a very dedicated team of workers. I don't know if it was just because we went around Halloween but they were very into Harry Potter. The staff was dressed as such and some of the pastries were themed. We tried a Harry Potter inspired pastry with toasted marshmallow on top. The exact flavor was a surprise until cutting open. We had the Yuzu which was amazing. I could not get a picture because my kid grabbed the toasted marshmallow topping as soon as it came to the table and it was no longer presentable. Industrial looking for sure but great place to do work - in fact most of the tables were taken up by people doing work. 5 out of 5!

    Veggie Quiche
    Seth C.

    Do not let the heavily industrial drive in through fool you, you're headed to a diamond in the rough. The space itself has a very bright, welcoming feeling. The staff are a lively bunch, who make their joy for what they do incredibly obvious. Their menu has a good mix of potential familiar favorites and seasonal specials. I went with the Maple Cold Brew. Now, being from New England, I am a bit of a maple snob, and I can safely say I was not disappointed. My girlfriend got the spicy chai, and that too was delicious! For a snack, we split the veggie quiche. Now typically, you offer me a "veggie" anything, and you'll be met with the dust I kick up as I sprint out the door. HOWEVER, I would be lying if I said this wasn't great, and I would absolutely get it again! All in all, we are happy to have found such a great little spot and we will without a doubt be back before too long. Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 3/5 it's coffee, who am I kidding. If it were just the quiche, it would likely be a 1/5, but coffee is coffee. Regardless, it's an entirely worthwhile 3/5.

    I really like the York Street Yard area! So when I found out this is where Elemental Bakery is nestled in, it already upped my impression. It's got the industry-turned-modern kind of vibes but it's safe from the busy street noise if you know what I mean. When the weather is nice, I can see the appeal of sitting outside of Elemental and enjoy the sips slowly - it has patio furniture out on the "porch" for lack of a better word. Inside is just as cool. Again with that contemporary warehouse look, subtly decorated with album artwork. It was a little loud the time we visited. Some college kids working on group assignment, I bet, loudly discussing. My miso-caramel cortado and veggie quiche were comped. Hubby ordered a London Fog and a Salami Brie sandwich. It got too loud so we left as soon as we finished lunch here. But it's not Elemental's fault. I wish we would've been able to enjoy the space more. Treat wise, both of our drinks were fantastic. The miso-caramel cortado comes in a short amber colored glass with perfect latte art. It is the ultimate sweet and salty combo. I definitely tasted the coffee even though I asked for decaf, the temperature was also perfect. I didn't want to finish sipping it, like ever! Hubby's London Fog was too hot, I burned myself when trying the first sip. But it was also a fantastic tea latte, just tasted really mellow and good. You have been warned about the temperature so wait a while to enjoy this drink. Food wise we were a tiny bit disappointed as they claimed to have had a busy morning, most of the pastries were sold out. As a bakery, their offerings all looked great, my quiche tasted good too but the shell, even though very flaky, was a bit dry, it felt overbaked. So was the baguette that was used for hubby's sandwich. Just too hard and chewy. And I really would've liked to have all the other baked goods to choose from. Ah well, it just means we'll have to come back and try them all!

    Caramel miso iced latte and the ham and gruyere cheese croissant
    Alex A.

    What a great coffee shop in the heart of RiNo! The shop is tucked away in an industrial area with plenty of parking. It's small, but they really maximize the space, so there's plenty of seating if you plan to hang out. As for the coffee and pastries, I got a caramel miso iced latte and the ham and gruyère croissant, both were delicious! I was skeptical about the drink flavor, but I'm glad I tried it; it tasted similar to salted caramel. The croissant was flaky, savory, and absolutely delicious. They had a great assortment of pastries and sandwiches, along with tea and other drinks. I love checking out new coffee shops, so I'm very glad I had the opportunity through Yelp to try this one! I'll definitely be back to try more of their pastries and unique drink flavors.

    Love this place! The coffee shop is located in an industrial brick warehouse, and there's plenty of parking all the way around! It reminds me of the Meat Packing district in NYC or the Strip District in Pittsburgh where the restaurants and designer shops are in converted brick warehouses. I arrived at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon and it was busy; the place has that community hub vibe. Alyssa was so friendly and recommended a few things on their menu. I ordered then cappuccino ($4.5) and the hazelnut praline cream croissant ($6.5). The cappuccino was strong, and I liked it. The croissant was good except I mis-read the cream part - it had a custard like filling - and I wished it was more of a paste texture. Next time I'm going to try the sweet potato latte!

    Absolutely stellar service... 15/10, everyone seems genuinely happy to be working here. The coffee is amazing, the pastries and sandwiches are delicious and they even have sourdough bread you can buy to take home. Such a cute tucked away spot, really worth the visit.

    Elemental Bakery is a must visit. The bakery items are fresh and always amazing regardless of what you pick. The staff is friendly. There is plenty of seating and many with power to charge your devices. Very clean. It looks like a great place to work if you need a break from the office. Bathrooms are shared with other businesses.

    So glad this place was recommended to me! A total gem in every which way. Service was incredible,…read morethey were patient and very knowledgeable about their products as I asked for recommendations. I ended up getting quiche for myself, pepperoni pizza for my wife as well as a plain croissant, chocolate pistachio croissant and maple cinnamon bun. The quiche was just okay in my opinion but everything else was stand out. My wife loved the pizza and the homemade ranch is AMAZING. The chocolate pistachio croissant was tasty, very flakey. The cinnamon bun was also very good but the frosting was a bit sweeter for my taste. A must visit if you're considering a solid bakery!

    GetRight's Bakery doesn't need more hype, but it absolutely lives up to it…read more My girlfriend and I stopped in on a whim this past weekend while checking out a few spots in the area. I had it saved but couldn't quite remember why...until we turned the corner and saw a line out the door around noon on a Sunday. Normally that might be a dealbreaker, but once we saw the food coming out, we were all in, it looked way too good to pass up. The menu is stacked: everything from sweet pastries to savory sandwiches and even pizzas on what looked like fresh, fluffy focaccia. I went with the prosciutto sandwich (prosciutto, cheese, pesto on focaccia), and it was incredible--simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. My girlfriend had the ham sandwich on a baguette, which was just as good. We were also tempted by the turkey and some seasonal options, so we'll definitely be back to try more. We couldn't leave without grabbing a couple pastries. The almond croissant was a hit (my girlfriend saved it for the next morning and loved it), and the standout for me was the cinnamon white chocolate cookie--kind of like a snickerdoodle but with white chocolate chips. Easily a top tier cookie. Between the quality, variety, and how clearly everything is made with care, this place jumped straight to the top of my list. Worth the wait, worth the hype, and absolutely worth a return trip.

The employee at the counter was patient even with a small line forming behind me, and my order came out pretty quickly.

    Since leaving NY, I have been struggling to find good baguettes. I do not know how many times I got…read moredisappointed. At one point, I seriously thought about flying back to NY to get the good baguettes. After a few years, I finally found one! I was there every Friday, but now, with a new job, it is just impossible to go. When I was going to a meeting in Denver, I searched for a bakery. I always look at photos of a baguette - the whole "figure" and how it looks when cut. I could find photos of the baguette, but none of the cross-section. So it was a gamble - I pre-paid for 2 baguettes. And I was not wrong! They were wonderful! Embarrassed to say, but I ate almost the whole baguette by myself! I froze the second one. Now I want this baguette all the time!! So here is the photo.

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.

Today I wanted a morning bun to cheer me up after dropping my dog at the vet. Ordering online (which I think is still the only way they want you to get takeout?), I saw that morning. Buns were not available today. What a bummer. So I ordered a Kouign Amman then when I arrived for pick up, what is in the display case but morning buns. The Kouign is delicious but it is also pretty darn small. It's the size of a muffin. Then when I was there, I added a big pretzel and that came to ... $18. It's VERY big but seems like maybe $10-$12 would be luxury pricing instead of $16. I'll probably come back because it's near my house and it is so tasty, but if I had to drive, this might be the death knell. I have a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. And an empty belly.

There are a bunch of different places to check out inside, so everyone can grab exactly what they want and still sit together. Today, I specifically visited Call Your Mother, a Jewish deli, and Izzio Bakery. Atmosphere: Since I went right around the time they opened, the atmosphere was exactly what I needed. It was super laid-back and chill, making it the perfect place to get out of the house for a calm morning. As it gets later into the day and through the weekends, I know it gets very busy, but there is plenty of random seating throughout the hall and even some outdoor spots if you prefer. Parking: Parking is going to be street parking. Make sure you read the signs, but it is usually free. Even when the market is busy, I usually don't have to walk more than a block to get inside. So it is a very convenient location for the RiNo area. Service: The customer service throughout the market is great. At Call Your Mother, the cashier was very sweet, and they even text you when your food is ready. Over at Izzio Bakery, everyone is super kind and helpful while you're looking at their amazing pastry display. Even with a line, you're usually only waiting about 10 to 12 minutes for your items. Food: The food variety here is incredible. I tried the Sun City breakfast bagel sandwich from Call Your Mother and the hot honey was the perfect balance of sweet and spice on a toasted bagel. For a sweet treat, I went to Izzio Bakery for the Dulce de Leche Queen. The pastry case there looks like something out of a movie. The pastry itself was perfectly crisp on the outside with a delicious yellow vanilla cream and cinnamon on the inside. Overall Experience: Overall, I really enjoy coming here and trying new places. It is a fantastic destination for groups or just a solo morning out. Whether you want a savory breakfast bagel sandwich or a beautiful pastry, The Denver Central Market always hits the spot. I'll definitely be back to explore more.
