Petunia Bakeshop — Restaurant in Denver

Very cute little shop. I’d been wanting to try this place for sometime and today was the day. They have a great display of their baked goods lots of croissants, danishes, macarons, etc. it’s a smaller shop and the flow is a little confusing of where to order, and not really much space to wait for your food but we figured it out. I got a blueberry danish, birria croissant, and an iced latte. The danish was absolutely delicious crispy exterior and soft interior combined with the gooey cheese center. It was perfect I’ll happily have that any day. I was very excited for the birria croissant but I’m sad to say it was a bust for me. It was cheesey the bread was soft and delicious but i definitely didn’t get anything that made me say birria i didn’t get any meat inside that i notice and the consome was flavorless compared to what i am use to I’ll definitely pass on it. However i also saw a poblano pepper one that caught my eye and I’ll probably try in the future. Also the classic ham and cheese would probably be better option than the birria is my guess. Latte was good and overall the danish was so delicious aswell as the crust of the crossiant that I’ll be back and excited to try others. But that birria one I’d say skip maybe i was given the wrong one but it was a flap for me. I’d highly recommend to skip it if you’re looking for...

Really mixed feelings about this place. Maybe a year ago, we used to love strolling over on the weekends, and getting a few pastries for breakfast, then bringing home a baguette or a loaf of sourdough.

Seems more dense/wet than before. This is true for both the sourdough and baguette now, Then, a few months ago we got a whole baguette sandwich there, and it was almost inedible. Tasted like it sat in the refrigerated case for more than 24 hours. Tough, chewy flavorless bread, terrible pale tomatoes, weirdly greasy pesto… I was so bummed, because it was not cheap. That being said, the pastries are still excellent—both sweet and savory. The ham and cheese croissants and fruit danishes...

Been wanting to check out this bakeshop since it opened, and made it happen yesterday. Why did I wait to long to discover this gem; it'll be a regular stop for now on! Petunia is so much more than a bakery: coffeehouse, sandwich shop, bakery, breadshop, local hangout. I visited for a sandwich, for which I read very positive reviews. The menu seemed vegetarian oriented, and I found a well described turkey sandwich that I ordered on their sourdough bread. Wow! what a treat. delicious and healthy portion.

I couldn't restrain myself from going back to pick up some bakery for takeout: raspberry cheesecake and carrot cake, among the standouts for me. The craft and quality of excellent baking is no...
