Customer service - 5 Quality - 5 Affordability - 5 We visited this local bakery while we were visiting the Denver, CO area on vacation. We stumbled on it as we were out walking around the downtown area. Upon entering this bakery, we were quickly greeted by a very friendly staff employee. We decided to select 3 cupcakes, as they looked unresistable. The cupcakes we had were favorable and moist. Now, we was a fan of the toppings as they were to sweet for our likening. read more

While walking the snowy downtown streets of Denver we kept looking at the signage for this business. We wondered about the connection between mermaids and cupcakes. Later while walking with a friend of ours, she offered to buy cupcakes for my wife and me. Who are we to argue? Just inside the building's doors, you feel like you have walked directly into their kitchen and prep area. Turns out that is the case. I liked that you could literally stop and watch them make their delicacies. It was immediately clear that they were in the business of making high-end desserts. Their display case was full of about a dozen different varieties of cupcakes - which all looked fantastic. The three staff members we encountered were delightful. Our friend Nancy bought three cupcakes - one for each if us. I kind of zoned out on which ones they selected because I had chosen a cinnamon churro cupcake and it was amazing. One of the women there told us they taste their best at room temperature, so as we stepped into the lobby I said, "Feels like room temperature to me." and thoroughly enjoyed my selection. They look great and taste even better. So flavorful. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Denver. read more

I was looking for something sweet after lunch so stopped in at mermaids. I can't eat chocolate - it's a migraine trigger. Their selection of non-chocolate cupcakes was pitiful. Strawberry cheesecake or vanilla salted caramel. I went with strawberry cheesecake. The strawberry on this cupcake looked like it was a couple days old. Dry and leathery. There was no strawberry flavor. The cupcake was dry. Overall a sad excuse for $5 read more

My experience with Mermaids bakery was pretty lackluster to be honest. I called a week in advance to order Red Velvet cupcakes for my husbands birthday as they are his favorite. I requested they say happy birthday and they assured me they would look like birthday cupcakes and say my desired phrase. Well I pick up the cupcakes and they don't say anything special, they don't look like birthday cupcakes, I mean they honestly look like I made them myself at home. I was hoping at this point that they would at least taste phenomenal, but they were average at best. I honestly felt like I should have just bought cupcakes from King Soopers because they would have tasted and looked the same and probably been about $45 cheaper lol I was hoping Mermaids would be great and I could use them for our son's first birthday smash cake but I have no desire to order from here again. And a side note; they somewhat hassle you about your pickup time. My pickup time was 12:30 on Saturday and I got a text as 12, and a call at 12:22 to remind me that they close at 1pm. I arrived at 12:24 (6 min early) to get them so I didn't really appreciate being harangued when I wasn't even late. I would recommend to the business owner to at least wait until someone is like 5 minute late to start calling. read more

Mermaids is fantastic - the cake you made for my wife was beautiful and delicious: according to my wife: "the best diary-free I have ever had and I've had a lot of them!" Everyone at Mermaids - from the person who took my order to the young guy who offered to deliver the cake after hours so it would be as fresh as possible for my wife - was so kind. My wife was in Denver on business and I had to trust someone to help me make her Bday a happy one - to anyone out there needing the same: Mermaids is the best! read more

Delicious cupcakes!! Not only are the cupcakes beautiful aesthetically, the taste is spot on! The best part is they're not too sweet!! They also freeze and defrost really well! To help you prepare for your visit, I'll say the location isn't ideal for picking up unless you're already downtown. I so so luckily got a street spot right outside.

Bought a cake (and with the tip) for $194 for a big event. The name on the cake was misspelled. Really, really embarrassing. And very expensive mistake. While this person has an unusual name, Mermaids could have called or emailed to confirm. In fact, I was there for a 9 am pick-up (and it wasn't ready even though I confirmed). They could have asked about the name or had me look at it. They did not and I didn't think to ask because I had to wait for the cake and was then running late to the event. I won't be ordering here again- no matter how good the cake is. read more

Ordered these for my husband for our anniversary. He moved to Denver over a month ago, from Texas, and has been trying to find us a house to rent but it's been hard. So, for the anniversary we couldn't spend together I wanted to do something special. German chocolate cake is his absolute favorite and apparently hard to find in cupcake form. This place made it happen!!! My email was promptly returned with a phone call and the woman was so nice!!! Gave me the time frame in which they would be delivered and they were right on time!!! I am absolutely impressed! Apparently they taste good because he couldn't even wait to take the photo and I'm sure they're gone by now way to go and thank you:):):) I can't wait to move up there and actually get to come into the shop. P.S. he just messaged me and told me they were() the best cupcakes EVER!!! thank you again!! read more

Now about the cake...decadent, moist and pure deliciousness from the frosting to each layer, simply perfection! I was worried it was going to be too sweet, but they have perfected the balance. I would definitely recommend this bakery! Used them for my sons 10th birthday and if I celebrate another birthday in Denver this place will be my go to! read more

The description says it all. "Meh. I've experienced better." We were having a drink at Union Lodge No.1, which is literally less than 10 feet away from this place, the night before so we came back the next morning to try a cupcake. Man, I was really hoping for something better than what we got. We got a peanut butter, and a snickerdoodle cupcake; neither were anything special. Though the icing wasn't just pure sugar and was somewhat more buttery and creamy they weren't nearly as good as we were wishing they would be. Chic place, boring, plain cupcakes. read more

Got several cupcakes to taste test for a party order. These cupcakes were not up my alley. The chocolate cake was really really good, the vanilla was good but did not blow me away. Most of the cake was either chocolate or vanilla with frosting/topping variations. One thing that was fun was that they put some of the flavor filling in the middle of the cake, for example the salted caramel had some caramel drizzle inside. The cake to frosting ratio was pretty good too. But, unfortunately, the frosting was the whipped kind and not the sugar kind. I really didn't care for the whipped frosting, but if that's your jam then you will probably like the cupcakes. It made the flavors a bit boring, like the chocolate cake with raspberry frosting sounds fantastic but the whipped frosting didn't bring out the fruit enough. I ate the cake but tossed the frosting. So, there's pros and cons. They did not have smalls available, you have to order. Everything was very beautiful, and on the $$$ side. I suggest tasting if you are in the market for a cake or cupcake. read more

I randomly stumbled across Mermaids Bakery when I was visiting Denver yesterday...and TRUST me when I say, I am FLABBERGASTED this bakery has only 4.5 stars on Yelp. It should be a solid 5 across the board (I mean I'd recommend 1000 stars if I could.) I had one of their cookies--their marshmallow and Kellogg cereal cookie--and hands down it was one of the top ten cookies I've ever eaten in my LIFE (and I've eaten a lot of cookies...ha!) And THEN I had their peanut butter and jelly cupcake because I was curious as to whether it could live up to the quality of the cookie, and I was absolutely blown away. Not only was the cupcake DELICIOUS--not too sweet, SUPER flavorful, but it was also incredibly tender and moist. It's rare, IMO, for a bakery to do BOTH cookies and cupcakes equally well and Mermaids nailed it. I am DEEPLY saddened I live in Austin and cannot visit this bakery every day and send ALL my friends to eat there too, but I will absolutely tell anyone who goes to the Denver area that Mermaids Bakery, near 16 St. Mall, is a MUST stop for any dessert lover. I am already counting down the days until I can visit again! And for those who live in Denver, go take advantage because you are some lucky ducks (or lucky mermaids I suppose...haha)! read more

This review is only for the gluten free cupcakes. My office had cupcakes catered for some birthday parties. They ordered gluten free cupcakes especially for me - how considerate is that!? They were really delicious. I ate one, and then had to have another. I don't even know what kind it was, because it had a basic vanilla bottom with white vanilla frosting. It did have some chocolate chips on top AND on bottom, which was a pleasant surprise when I got there. The kicker was that the cupcake wasn't super dense and cardboardy like a lot of gluten free baked goods are due to the gluten free flour. Is cardboardy a word? If not, it should be. If you need a gluten free sugar fix, go here! read more

Sweet dreams are made from sticky, marshmallow, sugary cookies. I've seen them at the highlands farmers several times and decided to give them a try. I grabbed a marshmallow cornflake cookie pack and it was divine! It tastes like you're eating the milk from the bottom of a cereal bowl. It's chewy yet crunchy. Give their cookies a try next time you see them at a farmers market ! They don't sell their cookies in their retail shop. Can't wait to try their cakes cause they look B E A U T I F U L! read more

History

Established in 2008.

We started Mermaids Bakery because we wanted to make cakes and cupcakes that were really baked and decorated 100% from scratch. We wanted to make something that was beautiful and tasted great too. This combination is hard to come by, but we are determined to "make it so". There is a huge difference in a cake that is made from a mix and a Mermaid's cake that is made from scratch with real eggs, flour and milk! We also wanted to bring back another diminishing art in the retail industry and that is "great customer service". We do our best. Gluten Free cakes and cupcakes were started mostly for mothers who needed a cake for thier kids. As a mother, I understand the need for something as simple as a birthday cake for a child. I wanted to make a Gluten free cake that everyone could enjoy. I would not want my kids to feel bad because thier birthday cake was "yucky" to the other kids at the party. So our gluten free recipes were developed and tested, and I have to say they are amazing.

The icing was definitely the highlight - good, but nothing extraordinary. The real letdown was the cake itself, which was dry across the board. The minis were especially dry, which made the overall experience less enjoyable. On top of that, the flavors just didn't stand out. Nothing really wowed us or left a lasting impression. After seeing so many people leaving with only ice cream, we kind of understood why.

Where do I begin? I…read morestarted coming here about 4+ years ago. Someone mentioned that this Bakery was in my neighborhood. Coming from high expectations with Blue Moon Bakery in Silverthorne, I was cautiously optimistic. They have not disappointed me yet!!! Mary is absolutely lovely. She communicates clearly and professionally. Their website is mostly user-friendly and they answer the phone! Yeay for this!!! Orders can be placed both ways. Their pricing is fair and transparent. They offer delivery for $20 within a certain radius. Add another $10 if you request same day delivery (rush). My one hesitation is they need to have a written section when placing a customized order on the website. Currently I do not see one. A comment section for the staff would be beneficial/helpful. Things like 'remove xxx item' or 'make stars', etc... They have a section for message, unsure if that's what goes on the cake or gets written like a gift message. it's also character limited. I've ordered a couple cakes for my birthday, plus for family members. I've also ordered various desserts to take to family holiday gatherings. Today, I had two items dropped off. A small chocolate hazelnut cake. A very (2 months) late birthday gift to myself. Also, pumpkin woopie pies. The cake is soft, moist and sweet. They also respected my request for no dark chocolate pieces. The hours are clearly on the website. They are located in Congress Park off 6th near Fillmore. It's prudent to plan ahead with Orders, especially around the holidays. I supporting local businesses.

Diana is one of my most favorite people on this planet!!! We went to The Institute of Art together (a lifetime ago) and both got the AMAZING opportunity of eventually becoming our own business owners. It is so difficult to always please people, but you try your best day in and day out. I am so proud of the tremendous success Diana has experienced and I hope that anyone who finds themselves in the downtown Denver area and is looking for the most DELICIOUS, unique and affordable "treat" (cupcakes, cookies, cakes or pies) will find this lovely little bakery. Everything is handmade from scratch with love and kindness. In this day and age of over processed, toxic goop that we are all ingesting on a regular basis, it is nice to know that when you want to really indulge in a special, yummy treat that there are small, independently owner bakeries that take the TIME and effort to make good products with responsibility and pride. Please take the time to visit their website to see all of the amazing cake creations they have accomplished. www.mermaidsbakery.com. I love you D. and wish you and your new business partner continued success!!! read more

I recently ordered from Mermaids Bakery, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! From the moment I placed my order, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I made the best selection for the occasion. I was initially concerned about the delivery, as I don't live in the area nor am I familiar, but the team reassured me and delivered as promised--right on schedule! The delivery driver was friendly and went the extra mile to make sure everything arrived in perfect condition. Unfortunately, my friend was unavailable so the driver took it back where they kindly stored it until it was picked up. They even included a lovely handwritten note , which added a personal touch that made my day. Overall, I highly recommend Mermaids Bakery to anyone looking for scrumptious baked goods and exceptional service. I will definitely be a returning customer, and I can't wait visit the are so I can try their delicious offerings for myself. The friend that got the cake said and I quote "I must say it was absolutely delicious!" Thank you, Mermaids Bakery, for helping me by making my friend's birthday so special! read more

Love this place! Owner and staff where super friendly and personable. We hired Mermaids for our wedding on Aug. 13, 2010 (Friday the 13th). We still get compliments about how delicious our cupcakes were and still getting requests for "who did your cupcakes?" The owner personally delivered our cupcakes and set them up on their cupcake tower, it was a stunning display! We didn't get charged extra for additional flavors and they suggested just the right amount of mini's and regular sized to help accommodate within our budget. I honestly can't say enough good things about this bakery. I really don't understand or can relate to the bad reviews on Yelp about Mermaids, but I guess not everyone can be happy. I can just say in my experience they are one of the best bakeries out there! I travel from Broomfield for them!!!! read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mermaid Bakery for my birthday celebration! They baked a half sheet of carrot cake that was truly the highlight of the event. The cake was moist, perfectly spiced, and the cream cheese frosting was divine. My husband ordered this for my doctoral celebration, and I couldn't have been more pleased with how it turned out. The staff at Mermaid Bakery were incredibly accommodating and made sure everything was perfect for our special day. Their attention to detail and exceptional customer service really stood out. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality and care in their baked goods! read more

We selected Mermaids Bakery to put together the cupcakes and cake for our wedding. They were amazing. I'm not sure what was going on with the other folks that gave them bad marks but, they were great from the word go. They were very professional and friendly. They delivered everything on time and worked with the venue. Everyone raved about how amazing the cupcakes and cake looked and tasted. They were literally gone in seconds. Diana and her crew were fabulous to work with. I recommend them to everyone and will continue to do so. I am so glad that they were a part of our perfect day. read more

What a wonderful bakery in the heart of downtown Denver. We ordered a Strawberry Fields specialty cake for my birthday. The bakers told me to leave it out for the day and to serve at room temp so that the flavor and texture would be at its optimum. Let me tell you friends, stealing peeks at a simply beautiful cake topped with strawberries, throughout the day while drinking chilled beaujolais and enjoying the sweet laughter of dear friends - nothing like it. And with each bite, this cake left nothing to be desired. Fantastic! read more

Brand new bakery in downtown Denver. Located on Champa between 15th & 16th. Everything is made on site and is fresh daily. They serve breakfast burritos, lunch - Betties (sausage wrapped and baked in bread) salads, and the baked goods are Delicious!!!! You have to try the Cherry Couga with a great cup of coffee. The macaroons are scrumptious and the pineapple upside cake is the best I have had. Not to mention the variety of cupcakes and pies. CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! read more

I went over to their instagram thinking maybe there was a mixed up and I saw that the Dubai gold was sold out at a lot of stores. It's okay if it's sold out but it would've been nice to be notified my order couldn't be completed because they were sold out and ask me what substitution I want instead of assuming I would like the chocolate Dubai flavor. I would've ordered a dozen peanut butter cookies instead. Now I have to find someone who likes chocolate to give them to. Maybe it's better if you order from them directly instead of through DoorDash. I think from now on, I'll just go to the physical location and get the cookies myself.
