Denver’s beloved Devil’s Food is expanding, bringing even more deliciousness to Old South Gaylord Street. For those in the know, Devil’s Food has been a Washington Park neighborhood staple since 1999, operating as both a popular bakery and restaurant at 1020 South Gaylord. Now, exciting changes are underway as Devil’s Food splits its operations to better serve its loyal customers.
The original location, Devil’s Food Cookery at 1020 South Gaylord, will continue as the restaurant Denverites have come to adore. Known for its brunch, served daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and its unique “supper” menu, Devil’s Food Cookery will retain its cozy charm and full menu offerings. This allows the Cookery to focus on providing an enhanced dining experience.
The delightful news for pastry and coffee aficionados? Devil’s Food Bakery is opening a dedicated space just a few doors down at 1004 South Gaylord. This new location is set to become the go-to destination for those seeking Devil’s Food’s acclaimed baked goods and coffee. Previously, customers looking for a quick coffee and pastry were limited to just two cafe tables in the original space. The expansion directly addresses this, promising a more relaxed and spacious environment for bakery patrons.
According to Jaryn Oakley, director of operations, owner Angela Pilloud has been meticulously curating design elements to create a unique ambiance for the new Devil’s Food Bakery. Think antique tin-ceiling tiles and reclaimed 100-year-old barnwood, promising a space that is both inviting and full of character.
The new Devil’s Food Bakery in Denver isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about enhancing the offering. Customers can anticipate an expanded selection of Devil’s Food’s signature baked goods, more variety in coffee and tea choices, and the convenience of complimentary wifi – a first for Devil’s Food. Interestingly, the bakery space will also transform in the evenings, hosting special chef’s dinners after its 6 p.m. closing time, adding another layer to its appeal.
While an exact opening date for Devil’s Food Bakery Denver is still pending final city inspections, anticipation is building. Oakley suggests that the wait could be anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on Denver’s inspection timelines. This “bedeviling” wait is surely testing the patience of the eager team, but Denver foodies can rest assured that the new Devil’s Food Bakery is on its way to enriching the Old South Gaylord culinary scene. Get ready for more pastries, more coffee, and more Devil’s Food to love in Denver!
