🥐 Denver Bakery Review — Izzio Bakery

When it comes to dessert runs, I usually lean toward French-style pastries — probably because I’ve baked enough to know how hard it is to nail that perfect laminated dough 😅 But Denver’s serious French bakeries tend to be… moody. They either open late, close super early (like 1-2 PM), or just don’t open at all. As a certified late riser, I finally tried Izzio Bakery inside Denver Central Market — though I missed their famous Baumkuchen (tree cake) since I got there too late 🌙 Here’s what I tried: 🍑 Peach & Pistachio Pastry The filling was a bit lacking — flavor mostly came from the topping. Not bad, but not memorable. 🥧 Passion Fruit Tart The meringue had a slight eggy taste, and the syrup dripped everywhere with each bite. A bit messy and overly sweet. 🍫 Chocolate Almond Croissant This was okay — the almond paste inside felt a bit too moist, but the chocolate saved it. 💡 Final Take: If you’re not super picky, it’s a decent spot — and clearly popular (the busiest stall in the market!). But heads up — come earlier in the day. The area nearby has a noticeable unhoused presence 🥲 Next time — I’m setting an alarm to finally try those “attitude-filled” French bakeries! ⏰🧁 📍 Izzio Bakery 2669 Larimer St, Denver, CO 80205 #IzzioBakery #DenverSweets #FrenchPastry #NotMyFaveButOkay #PastryReview #DenverEats
