Assortment of baked goods
Edie A.

Rosales Mexican Bakery reminded me of the panderias in my hometown in NM. It was fitting that we visited on All Saints Day, one day before Dia De Muertos. The smell of fresh-baked goods that greeted us as we entered the small bakery was a welcoming embrace, flooding me with memories of my loved ones. The prized baked items were behind the cash register--the bolillos (oval Mexican bread with a crispy crust and a soft center) and the pillowy conchas in many flavors (vanilla is my favorite), which often sell out. Churros were also selling quickly at 75 cents each and had to be ordered at the counter. These looked deceptively small, but they were crisp on the outside and thick with a dense, fried dough on the inside, which was very filling. Reasonably priced and delicious.

Ham and cheese sandwich
Imani R.

My friend grew up going here often for a sandwich and/or treat, so she brought me here as my final lunch before heading to the airport. I'm sure I'll have to come back and try other pastries, but I ended up grabbing one that seems like it might have strawberry in it? I didn't ask questions so we'll see how that goes lol We also ordered the ham and cheese sandwiches which come with avocado and tomato. They also give you jalapeños on the side, but I happily gave those to my friend. I was stuffed from just eating the sandwich, which is why I haven't tried my pastry yet!

Rosales Mexican Bakery on W 32nd Ave in the Highlands neighborhood. It's a small, family-run Mexican bakery and store with some of my favorite essentials when I'm craving something from back home. Their pan dulce is made fresh on-site, plus they offer tortas, tamales, salsas, Mexican candy, and more! I can't wait for winter so I can enjoy conchas on the regular. My Order: Conchas (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate), bolillos, mantecadas, carrot cake, cinnamon roll, sugar donuts, pineapple jam danish, cuernito con queso. Best Bite: Hands down, grab the conchas! They're flaky with a perfect sugar crust and super soft. Pro tip: you have to ask for them because they're kept behind the counter and sell out fast. Their bolillos are also a must-try, especially for a Mexican breakfast torta. Skip the cinnamon roll and carrot cake, but everything else was amazing!

Came in for some pan de muerto for my co workers and students. I also got some mantecados for myself. The pan de muerto was pretty well received but I think may have been a day old. Overall not bad. The cookies were melt in your mouth buttery. Plus such a cute area. There are tons of pastries that one could gain some serious weight if not careful lol. Plus some other Mexican products to buy. I would come back here and recommend it.

I was in the neighborhood and popped in just to take pictures. I don't have much of a sweet tooth personally but if you have a craving for Mexican pastries check it out. It definitely smelled good in there.

I was in my "shop local" and "shop small" mood today. When this business came up in my "bakery" search I did a while back, for some reason, I didn't go. Whatever the hesitancy I had back then didn't exist in me today any longer so I wasted no time and hopped in my car. This is definitely a so-called Mom-and-Pop establishment. In the neighborhoods of Highland and Sunnyside where gentrification has become the norm these days, I appreciate a business that humbly exists without losing its true colors. Its appearance inside out looks old but they remain in their original state when it all began however many years ago. I like that, and I SUPPORT!! I absolutely had a hard time choosing which ones to get. Displays after displays of sweets tantalized me to the core. I didn't need to know what they were (I couldn't identify many of them anyway!! You can't be afraid to try something new and different, right?) so I placed whatever that caught my attention on the tray with tongs and headed to the register. A young lady greeted me in Spanish saying "buenos dias" which was immediately followed by "good morning " (she realized that I didn't speak Spanish; wish I did though!!) Some chicharrone pieces, one churro, and a square of some sweet pastry only came to $11 with some change. How reasonable! My purchase experience at this small business made me feel like I was in a very authentic store nestled in a town/city in Mexico. Churro was delicious. A bit of crunchiness on the outside but soft on the inside. It didn't disappoint me in any way! Square of pastry was also good! Tastes a bit like cheese cake but better than cheese cake. This is a dense cake but not too decadent with a bit of sweetness. Loved it! Chicharrone meat was good as well. It became a nice accompaniment to the salad I ate later. Next time...I'll definitely grab a bag of tamales. They looked so good!!

Waste of money. Very dry and Flavorless. Won't be going back sadly. Maybe it's just cause I'm not used to to a Mexican bakery but i didn't enjoy it or thing it was quality

Renaye V.

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican bakery look no further! This is the best of the best. So many options to pick from, even the best tamales I've had since moving from Los Angeles 11 years ago. The prices are very fair, I got 2 large bags of pastries, and only spent $19.00. There is street parking, which can fill up quickly but at least it's not metered.

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.

I sure was one of them today as when I stepped in it was past 2pm. What I had in mind was (of course) all gone which forced me to go some alternative option. I hence ended up with one of the vanilla custard buns and the gouda baguettes. Did I regret? Nope, it is quite the opposite of it. The vanilla custard bun was simply the right size for me (I not too long ago had just had my late breakfast so I was still quite full from it.) Perfectly brown on some of the custard on top. This Portuguese style dessert is a staple at any bakery or dessert shop. It's moist and yet the flaky out layers made the perfect sound as I bit into it. As of this writing, I haven't had the baguette yet but I can only imagine how delicious it would be (as the kind lady upfront was telling other customer that.) For a great business like GetRight's, I do the drive to get to it from my southeast Denver home. It's my utmost duty to support them.

The employee at the counter was patient even with a small line forming behind me, and my order came out pretty quickly. The ham and cheese croissant had a nice flaky texture without falling apart everywhere, which I appreciated since I ate it in the car. The almond croissant was lightly sweet and tasted fresh instead of overly buttery. The shop itself felt relaxed and clean, and nobody rushed customers even during the breakfast crowd. I'd come back when I'm in the area again.

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. 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!

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.

I waited until they opened on Wednesday (closed Monday and Tuesday) and made my way over shortly after they opened at 8am. There were only a few people in line, so it honestly was perfect timing. I was shocked with how many options there were. Many types of bread, pastries, etc. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming trying to make the right decision! They also have coffee and matcha. I ended up getting a loaf of bread, a savory danish, a lemon sugar cookie, and the coffee cake to share with my partner. We ate the danish and coffee cake for breakfast and saved the cookie for dessert in the evening. Everything was delicious!! I can't wait to go back and try more pastries!

I'm from Chicago and I've tried every other "top-rated" bakery here, and honestly... none of them even come close. The staff is amazing. I stopped in a few minutes before closing once and instead of being annoyed, they were super nice and even gave me a free coffee cake, which was delicious. The maple morning bun is my #1 ride or die. I'm not even a pastry girl, but this thing is unreal. It's not too heavy, not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy and flaky, soft in the middle, just absolute perfection. Everything I've tried has been amazing: maple morning bun, monkey bread, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls. I still think about those cinnamon rolls and really hope they bring them back soon! Fair warning though: you have to get there early. If you're not an early riser, find someone who is or you will miss out. Lucky for me, my husband wakes up wayyy earlier than any normal person and always gets me a treat!

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.

I tried the hot and read buffalo chicken sandwich, and the pork green chile. I thought both were good. Definitely more emphasis on the bread in these than you would get somewhere else, but that is to be expected with it being a pie shop. I liked the pork a little bit more. They were more filling than I expected but also I didn't think about how much bread there was until after. Also got the key lime pie for dessert later in the day which I loved. Good amount of whipped cream, and had great flavor. Not too crumbly on the crust either. And finally I did get the take and bake chicken pot pie. Which I thought was excellent. Fair value for the size, I think. The large got me 3 meals but probably could have stretched it to 4. But it was so good that I just kept eating more. Had good amounts of chicken in it and good ratio with the veggies. I would definitely return here. Would definitely get the pot pies and key lime pie again. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but if I was in the area and needing something quick and easy to eat, I would get 1 of the hot and ready sandwiches too - I thought they were fairly priced too.
