I started with their breakfast sandwich, and it was one of those deceptively simple dishes that leaves a lasting impression. Perfectly toasted bread with that golden crunch, a soft and buttery interior, and layers of eggs cooked just right — not dry, not runny — balanced with savory bacon and melted cheese that tied it all together. Every bite felt like comfort and craftsmanship rolled into one. You could tell everything was made with intention, from the bread itself to the seasoning on the eggs.
To pair with it, I ordered a vanilla latte, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had in Denver — smooth, rich, and balanced without being overly sweet. The espresso had depth and character, and the vanilla was subtle, not overpowering. It’s rare to find a latte that feels both indulgent and artfully crafted, but this one nailed it.
For dessert (or breakfast round two, depending on how you look at it), I tried the raspberry bar — and it deserves its own standing ovation. The tartness of the raspberries against the buttery crumble base was spot-on. It wasn’t overly sugary, just perfectly balanced. You could tell it was made with real fruit, not some syrupy imitation. It tasted like something that came straight out of a small-town European bakery — nostalgic, homey, and elegant at the same time.
And then there’s Jason, who made the entire experience even better. He greeted me with genuine warmth and that effortless hospitality you just can’t fake. He checked in at just the right times, offered great recommendations, and had a calm, upbeat energy that made the morning feel brighter. You can tell he really loves what he does and wants every guest to feel welcome.
Everything about Wooden Spoon — from the food and coffee to the staff and cozy vibe — makes it one of Denver’s hidden gems. It’s the kind of spot you want to tell everyone about, but also secretly want to keep to yourself because it’s that special. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a slow breakfast, this café reminds you why supporting local bakeries matters.
Thank you, Jason & Johnny, and the entire team at Wooden Spoon, for making mornings in Denver feel just a little more perfect.
We ordered some savory offerings this time. An egg, cheese, green chili and bacon danish and a quiche. Both were outrageously delicious. The coffee drinks are just as good. Seating is very limited with one small table and a street facing bar top. The staff are friendly and very helpful. It’s our go-to Denver bakery!
This spot is one of the greatest hidden gems in the highlands. Jason and his crew have been cranking out incredible bakery, breakfasts, and coffee since before 2016 when I lived just around the corner.
The food is amazing (brioche is to die for), and the staff is second to none. Great variety to accommodate many palates.
Definitely go here, it’s worth it!
Previous post: Very friendly staff, the best breakfast sandwiches, and my personal favorite: a daily quiche special that’s the best in town.
⁃ $11.25 for sausage egg and cheddar w/ my additional toppings of hash brown. Would have been $10.50 without hash brown. Little pricey but they have a lot of customizability which is like
⁃ The process of picking this up was a little bit confusing but thats on me for it being a first timer here. I ordered pick up and it was a little crowded inside and the main cashier wasn’t really giving me instructions as I stood awkwardly to the side. Then someone else came in and picked up from the pick up shelf in back of the store. TL;DR: walk back and grab it or ask someone if theyre paying attention but don’t stand around waiting for someone to ask you if you ordered for pickup
⁃ The sandwich itself: honestly great. I thought the sausage was good quality, egg was nicely cooked, and the cheese was cheesy. Bread was great – among the better brioche buns I’ve had on a breakfast sandwich. Makes sense, they probably bake it in house and the rest of their baked goods/pastries looked incredible. I threw a hash brown in there and it was a welcome addition.
⁃ I’m giving this one an 8/10. Would be great if they had some hot sauce but this sandwich probably had the best meat out of all the places I’ve been so far.
⁃ Also worth noting I didnt give this a super fair shout as I picked it up about 30 minutes late. 100% my fault and the sandwich was still really good. If I lived nearby, I’d happily make this my Saturday morning go-to.
