Wooden Spoon is a lovely little cafe! It is very small with limited space (maybe 10 seats) and area for queuing. However, they make ordering ahead very convenient! I was able to place my order & pay the night before my morning pickup. This allowed for a quick checkout to get the goods. I am picky when it comes to croissants, but Wooden Spoon's toed the line of being crispy while remaining moist beautifully. Their Bacon, green chili, and mozzarella danish was my favorite. The prosciutto & Swiss croissant was good with a plentiful amount of meat, which overpowered the Swiss a bit. Raspberry & lime tart was a bit too sour for me personally, as I was expecting more of a key lime flavor Street parking fyi read more

A great, small spot to pop in for a tasty coffee and pastry. The staff here is so friendly. The coffee absolutely hit the spot. Nothing like a perfect vanilla oat milk latte. The pecan sticky bun is only available on Saturdays and Sundays so either get there early or pro tip, preorder the night before and it'll be waiting for you! While it's not as good as my mommas back home in Texas, it's pretty close! They sell out of goodies QUICK! I love that you can see the bakers making pastries while you order, really adds to the vibes! Be back soon to taste more goods! read more

Enjoyed their punch and also got two of their "Best Loved Brownies" in Colorado, according to a Google review. They had a cream cheese topping. I thought they were rather too sweet. The cashier was very considerate. read more

Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery - Pastry case and coffee bar - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Loved this place- service was friendly and we were able to snag an outside table. There is limited seating inside and outside; the place is a cute coffee shop vibe. The egg, sausage and cheddar cheese sandwich on brioche was delicious, but the lunch sandwich of the day was literally the best sandwich I've ever eaten. The secret- focaccia bread plus the turkey, tomato, arugula, pesto and mild yellow peppers. The whole combo was dynamite. So glad we went during our visit to Denver. On street parking wasn't hard to find nearby on a Saturday. Also, lots of cool young people and dogs frequent and are in this Highlands neighborhood. read more

Had a really great pastry and piping hot tea from here. My one qualm is the place is very small and there's no WiFi, so it's actually not a very good place to study/work. You could read, they have a small bar area by the window and 1 small table with 3 chairs, but that's the extent of seating. That aside - I had the blueberry cream cheese pastry ($5.75) and it was delightful!! Also had the spicy hot chai, which was really good since it was cold and snowy outside. They had some really tasty looking tarts and other pastries too. The server was friendly and helpful! Would come again, but mostly just for the tea/snacks, not to hang around. read more

Searched for carrot cake, Wooden Spoon came up as highly recommended and it was absolutely delicious. Carrot cake isn't usually my favorite cake, but this was a great cake - a great balance of sweet, spice, and the right cream cheese icing. No raisins, obviously that would be a travesty. Easy to call and place an order a few days in advance. They even inscribed it for me (candles were separate). I was temped by all of their other delicious pastries so I would be back to try them! read more

The most fabulous sandwich spot - staff was so lovely and amazing. Great looking pastries as well. Highly rec!!

Great cafe with lots of breakfast and beverage options. Friendly staff, line moved quickly and the items I purchased were amazing! I wanted more but was only visiting for the week so I will be sure to check them out again if I am ever back in the Denver area. The strawberry Nutella croissant was delicious and so was the iced coffee. Highly recommend, good prices and portions. read more

Hands down the best bakery in town--not just for the food, but for the service and ambiance too. The BLT with green chili is absolutely divine, and their iced lattes with house-made brown sugar cardamom syrup are unreal. Moose is so friendly, and the shop always has the best vibes. A place you'll want to keep coming back to read more

Very cute (Boss Lady's words, not mine) bakery/cafe. It's now her favorite in Denver. Once you walk in, the amazing smells of baked goods smacks your face. They have a large assortment of delicious pastries and breakfast items. We ordered some savory offerings this time. An egg, cheese and bacon danish and a quiche. Both were outrageously delicious. The coffee drinks are just as good. Seating is very limited with one small table and a street facing bar top. The staff are friendly and very helpful. It's our go-to Denver bakery! read more

I stopped in the other day to pick up pastries for my parents as a thank you for keeping my son overnight and once I walked in to their super cute shop and saw all of the yummy-ness behind the counter I couldn't resist buying something's for my household too. So the cruffin- omg wow. The lady who helped me told me they're her favorite, and now they're mine too! It like a chocolate stuffed croissant rolled in cinnamon sugar in the shape of a muffin. So amazing! read more

Currently eating a breakfast from here that is changing my life. My god. My mocha is insane, borderline obscene with how delicious it is. My breakfast sandwich is so good I had to stop everything I was doing. I don't really leave yelp reviews but this is preposterous. If you are debating going just go. You have to go. read more

Had the pleasure of stopping by the Wooden Spoon on my short visit to Denver and this place is a gem. The staff were all so kind, and the selection of food and baked goods was excellent. I got an iced oat latte (no complaints) a BEC sandwich (delish) and couldn't resist trying the chocolate cruffin (highly recommend). The seating indoors is limited but they do offer some outdoor seating. Overall great experience for my sunny Sunday morning! read more

This cute, tiny bakery/cafe offers breakfast and lunch--mostly takeout. Seating is pretty limited. There are breakfast sandwiches, eggs, quiche, coffee, tea, espresso, and other drinks, lots of lunch sandwiches, and a wide variety of pastries. I am oblivious to all of these tasty items as I am totally obsessed with their scones. I was first introduced to the scones by a friend who discovered this bakery while working in the neighborhood. She would occasionally bring me one as a treat, but was cagy about the source. I finally got the whole story and have been frequenting Wooden Spoon ever since. The scones come in blueberry, raspberry, or blackberry lemon. All are delicious. I developed a deep appreciation for scones when I worked in the UK. These are as delightful as any I have ever tasted. Be aware, this is a tiny shop and very popular. There is usually a long line unless your timing is very fortunate. There's a good online ordering system on the Web site. It's much more convenient to order in advance. You then skip the line, go down the alley on the west side of the building, and ring the bell at the side door. Your order will magically appear. Try to avoid gobbling it all on the way home! read more

Great coffee and breakfast spot. They have a really great selection of fresh backed goods to go with your preferred hot (or cold) drink. My wife and I had egg skillet #2 which was amazing (2 Eggs on a bed of fresh spinach, roasted peppers, mushrooms, and fresh mozzarella). read more

Great coffee shop with some good pastry and sandwich options! Indoor seating is limited so I'd probably get it to go next time, especially on a Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and helpful as my friend was deciding what to order and the shop was cute with several items to purchase to go (teas, coffee grounds, etc.). read more

This place is a total neighborhood gem! The staff was so kind, helpful with suggestions, and prompt. The inside is cozy with the majority of the shop being dedicated to their active baking. They have really good sandwiches that are loaded with flavor. The focaccia was the perfect vessel for the flavors and texture of our sandwiches. We ordered the goat cheese/mushroom and the caprese sandwiches - very large portions so we had yummy left overs. The bakery case had an excellent array of options that not only tasted amazing but also were eye catching. Originally we came here to pick up a pie for a small dinner party however the bakery understandably needs 48 hours notice - instead we ordered several different desserts to share. As an FYI: There is ample outdoor seating, with no (?) / limited seating (due to COVID?). The sandwiches were made promptly and the ingredients all tasted very fresh. I can't wait to head back over for another great latte and to try other things on their menu! read more

Delicious baked goods in the Highlands. They are always busy so go early or order ahead of time. We ordered several breakfast sandwiches which are served on brioche (soft and pillowy) with egg, cheese and choice of meat or vegetables (mushroom, tomato, green Chile) They are so tasty and the ratio of bread to egg to meat and cheese spot on. The sweet and savory pastries are baked to perfection. So many delicious options. Make sure to bring a mask as you're required to wear one inside. The staff is very friendly and it shows in the delicious food offered. I'll have to go back for lunch options. read more

I was in Denver last week and had the great fortune of staying a few blocks away from Wooden Spoon. On our first morning we tried to go to another popular breakfast place but the wait was too long so we ended up at Wooden Spoon. The universe knew what we needed because I spent the next two days waiting for Wooden Spoon to reopen so I could have some amazing treats. Their savory danishes were tasty and the sweet bun with pralines I had on the first day left me wishing I had picked up more slices! I'm in Houston on another this week and really missing Wooden Spoon. read more

This place is impressive. They make all their baked good day-of, starting at 1am! And everything is baked to perfection! We split a pain au chocolat, apricot pistachio danish, and we each got a breakfast sandwich. All the bread was light & fluffy, and the pastry was light and crisp at the same time- perfection. Love this little spot! And the staff is super courteous and friendly. Even though there was a wait, they were sure to give us an accurate time- always appreciate that!! read more

Cute little coffee shop, with a large assortment of pastries, cookies, and breakfast sandwiches/lunch sandwiches! Stopped by based on other yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint! I went in around 1pm and there was no line. Decent prices - ended up paying ~$24 for a 16oz latte with almond milk, cookie, croissant, and breakfast sandwich. Highly recommend and really friendly staff (love the cute touch with my name on the sandwich ) read more

Stopped in for some coffee, yummy pastries & breakfast sandwiches late on a Sunday morning. Ordering was a challenge. There were many things that looked tantalizing, and we could have done lunch. Rather, I had a hearty breakfast sandwich of bacon, arugula and tomato. It was outstanding. Husband had a different breakfast sandwich (sorry can't remember exactly), and he raved about his as well. As an added bonus, we sat on chairs in front of the cafe, eating our breakfast, and thoroughly enjoying the people watching in this vibrant community. We'll look forward to returning for lunch! read more

Man, I have been trying to get pastries from this place forever. I will be honest, I am not a morning person and on the times I have tried, they have been sold out. I went a few weekends around 10 am...gone! Not a croissant in sight. I had off on a Tuesday once and proudly walked in there at 9:15am ready to indulge. GONE! Not even a crumb of a croissant was left. The gentleman behind the counter very kindly offered that should I return at 7am the next morning I would be sure to get one. I responded with "Sir, if I was the type of person to wake up at 7am, I would probably be curing cancer or running a marathon and not the sloth that I am trying to get a croissant". Well one morning, I made it. I took a red-eye flight into DIA and arrived at the shop at 7:30am on a Saturday morning, luggage in tow. Lo and behold there was a line outside. So these were the people keeping me from 9:15am croissants, I thought as I gave them some unnoticed side-eye. Who are these people? I was fifth in line when the door opened. I ordered the pain au chocolate and a plain croissant. To be honest, they were good but not amazing. They lacked the butteriness and flakiness that I was so craving. Most disappointing was the chocolate in the pain au chocolate was so minimal and the baton fell in a clump at the bottom that very few bites contained any chocolate. I would be willing to go back as this day may have been a one-off, but I don't know that I am willing to wake up early for the potential of a mediocre pastry. read more

Awesome little cafe and bakery in the Highlands area! After taking a fitness class nearby, I could not resist the delicious smell wafting through the Wooden Spoon's doors. At the recommendation of the barista, I went with a blueberry scone. This was one of the most massive scones I have seen in my life -- finishing it all in one sitting was a challenge I was definitely up for. It had a biscuit-y texture, wasn't overly sweet, and was packed with blueberries. The best part of Wooden Spoon is the staff. From the second I walked through the door, multiple people behind the counter looked up, smiled, greeted me, and made me feel incredibly welcome, even though I was just there for a few minutes. Such great people, I'll be back to try more goodies soon, hopefully one of the sticky buns! read more

Step into this quaint little bakery and feel like you are stepping into a movie. Beautiful pastries, classic brick building appearance, friendly staff. The brioche bun on the breakfast sandies is a little too sweet for me, so it's not my favorite in town. The coffee was OK but not especially strong like I like it. BUT THE CINNAMON ROLL- that'll make up for any other disappointment. It truly is worth any line you may run into when you arrive. Overall this favorite little spot on 32nd is deserving of all the local love it gets. read more

The food is absolutely great & very warm when served, they actually take the time to make it & not just warm it up in a microwave or something. The staff is also very friendly & the lady who works the front counter is well aware of the menu & just super polite & friendly in general. 4/5 because there is literally no where to sit, no bathroom option, and gets super crowded so it is hard to wait for your food or sit down & eat, the outside seating is also very limited. read more

Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery - Cinnamon Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was my second time at Wooden Spoon. I'm combining my ratings for this review since I didn't review several years ago when I first came and that experience was better than today's. Can't honestly remember what I got other than it was some kind of breakfast turnover that was delicious and that's why I knew I wanted to come back today! Today's experience was 50/50. My egg scramble with herby goat cheese, arugula, and red peppers was delightful but a tad small for the price. And my chai tea latte was just ok... too spicy for my liking and left a bit of a unpleasant aftertaste. My husband and I also shared a cinnamon roll since they said it would be a bit of a wait (a good 20 min for my egg scramble and his breakfast sandwich). The cinnamon roll was definitely our least favorite part of the meal. Very doughy/dry and the frosting was just plain not good. It barely looked baked by how pale/yellow it was. read more

Parking wasn't too bad feel free to circle around this posh looking neighborhood if you can't find parking on the street nearby. Takes a bit of time to make the sandwich which only means it's hand crafted "made to order" lol. I would def come here again. Didn't get to try out their sweet treats but def next time for sure. read more

We sampled two scones. Disclaimer: when I order a scone, I'm ready for rich, buttery flavor! While I loved the abundant fresh fruit, the scones here were more "bread-y" (read: drier, less flavorful) than other scones I've had. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things. I'm a big fan of the friendly staff and their organized ordering system, and the other items looked good -- I'm rating based on the overall experience :) read more

I see why the locals love this quaint lil bakery in the Highlands. The people are so welcoming, even on busy mornings! I went to try the almond croissant because I have a slight obsession. Well - make sure you arrive early because they were already sold out of a lot of pastries. I ended up getting a blueberry scone and a croissant and OMG! I felt like I was in Paris, amazing. They also offer coffees and breakfast sandwiches, which I will need to return for. There isn't any seating, so you'll order takeaway or order online and pick up! I will be back at an earlier time to have more options! read more

Loved the gluten free options on the baked goods and super friendly service. Tables outside are a big plus

Best pastries in Denver! We always place an order from here when we have friends in town to have them try the Swiss and Prosciutto croissant. Never disappointed. Best to order online the night before otherwise you'll be ordering from a limited selection. When picking up your order it's in the alley, but they have good signage and a doorbell for quick service. read more
