Bakery Four

A sourdough bakery in Denver's Tennyson area selling laminated pastries, naturally leavened bread and sandwiches from a bright, industrial room. Its cardamom bun, classic croissant and rotating seasonal items draw a line from the 8am opening.

Highlights

  • Cardamom bun
  • Classic croissant
  • Sourdough and herb boule

Good to know

  • Line forms before 8am opening, especially weekends
