La Fillette Bakery — Restaurant in Denver

crazy that all these 1 star reviews all echo the same sentiment.

This place does not function as a bakery. It should be called La Fillette Cafe or La Fillette Restaurant.

I came here to grab a breakfast sandwich because I was in a rush and thought it would be quicker than going home and making breakfast.

When I walk in there is no counter service, no menu, no indication of where to order. I talk to the hostess and he takes my order on a tablet. The tablet askes me for a tip and I tipped 20% probably just out of habit.

I tell tell the hostess that I'll be waiting outside, assuming that given that I'm paying the same price as the dine-in customers the least they could do is bring me my take out order.

A couple minutes later he brings me my pastries, so I assume that he'll bring the breakfast sandwich out there too. 30 minutes later after dozing off in the sun I'm wondering why everyone around me is eating and I still haven't received my to-go order? I ask a server and she tells me that to-go orders have to be picked up inside, and then brings out my order which had been sitting there the whole time.

They need to figure out a better option for to-go orders. For most bakeries to-go is the default. If you don't want to offer it at all, I get it, but make that clear from the get go.

I will say, props to the bakers. The croissants were very good and my breakfast sandwich was pretty good too. Just don't think it was all worth $40 with such...

There are bakeries and there are bakeries and this place is the best version of the latter. The menu is compelling and dynamic: fun dishes with protein options like duck confit and pork belly, but also some atypical brunch options that are fantastic.

Perhaps the hidden gem is the rosti: a brick of hash brown potato, placed in a melted puddle of delicious gruyere, topped with chives and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt. You drag the potato through the gruyere lake and magic happens.

The burrata has no place being this good on a bakery menu, but there it is, doing its thing, surrounded by beets, tomatoes, pesto, and other goodies.

And the byo sandwich was so good I had it two days in a row, once with bacon, and once with duck confit (since the pork belly was sadly sold out both days.) The bacon is fine, but the duck confit is brilliant, and the croissant was a wonder.

Finally, the quiche is perfectly fluffy, with a fantastic crust.

Service was a standout: Kash, Rio, and the others are kind, gracious, efficient, and were a blast to talk with.

Absolutely upset I don't live in Denver, if for no other reason than I'll have to fly in from Phoenix for that rosti.

Attention to detail, no expense spared, just phenomenal cooking and one of the best breakfast/brunch experiences I've had (and...

Once a great bakery for grab and go breads and pastries, now an overpriced restaurant with sub-par greasy and overpriced food.

We visited the new location after going to the old one for years. The chocolate croissant French toast that was $10 is now $16.50. The portions are tiny, the sandwiches are $15 for basic entrees with no side included. They were completely out of three items I tried to order. Their hashbrowns seem to have been marinated in grease for days before being compacted together and browned. It was inedible and we told both our server and the gentleman who cleared the plates. No acknowledgment that we couldn't eat the food as prepared, no offer for a replacement item and no offer for a discount even though they could see it was not eaten.

Their prices are outrageous for the portions and the lack of quality. We ordered two coffee's that took 10 minutes to be brewed and an iced tea that took 5 minutes to be brewed. We ordered two Cranberry mimosas and the server apologized for no juice in them and brought over a few ounces of Cranberry juice to add.

There are at least 10 near by, upscale, places for bakery, breads, brunch, homemade entrees in this price range that are worth your time and money. La Fillette is not a competitive option with their lack...
