Best bakery in Colorado by far! Freshly milled sourdough and at high altitude, its so hard to replicate at home. Just off the Santa Fe trail so we make a bike date out of it every Saturday morning and the owner is always there with a kind smile. Live orchestra music makes the line go by fast and sometimes there are local fresh flowers available! Better than any of the farmer's markets in town! It's my favorite part of the week. Also, the dark chocolate cookies are the best I've ever had. They are toothy, salty and the chocolate is high quality. LOVE!
I have been a fan of these guys for around 5 years. But for the past couple of years, the bread quality has gone downhill. It is incredibly inconsistent! Sometimes the bread is perfect. But often it is dry and has large air bubble holes in it, making it very hard to put a sandwich together or even make toast. About every other time I go, the bread is dark to the point of being burned on the bottom. Also, having to wait in such a long line all the time is an incredible pain. I took 2 stars off of service for this. The people at the window are absolutely lovely. How about opening the other window more often? PLEASE GET YOUR BREAD BACK TO THE WAY IT USED TO BE!!
Have been getting sandwiches and morning buns here for a while. Great whole loaves of bread. The cookies too. Everything Everything is good.
Tried a few items here but I can only recommend the red sourdough bread. I also got a morning bun, a ham and cheese roll, and a breakfast sandwich. The bun was ok but it was disappointing. The roll was ok but again nothing I would recommend. The sandwich was strange, the cheese did not pair well with the jam, and the other flavors in the sandwich all wanted attention but didn't play well with the other flavors, it was just a strange sandwich.
I love Nightingale. I get bread here often, and have tried almost all the pastries. I’m gluten intolerant, but for whatever reason I do great with their bread! Some reviewers noted that you typically have to stand outdoors in line for quite a while, and that’s true. However, for me that’s part of the charm and part of the experience. It means slowing down in life, enjoying the fresh air, being around people and chatting to a friendly person in line. We could all use a little less convenience and more of simply standing still these days. The breads are all fantastic, the pastries too delicious to resist, and the sandwiches crafted with detailed perfection. Everything is amazing! And as a bonus, the workers are always kind and calm.
