Trompeau Bakery

Haven’t had croissants or a baguette like this since I was in France! Amazing! Come early or they will run out-​next time I will try the macaroons!

I thought this was a great bakery to find last minute while in town. I was on my way to a friend’s place and we wanted to swing by a bakery to pick something up to share. A quick Google search landed us here at Trompeau. Thought it was a little difficult to get into the parking lot, but it didn’t stop us from making it in.
The inside is very open, very simple with just a few tables to easily sit down and enjoy a pastry. Late Saturday morning resulted in only having the top row of the display case with items to choose from. I can only imagine getting there first thing in the morning to find all of the display cases fulled with delicious pastries. From what we could choose from though, it was fantastic. There was a great assortment and it looked like they served coffee too.
Given that it’s only a few block from the new location for our church, I can definitely see ourselves coming here more often for a Sunday morning coffee and croissant. I have no doubts about Trompeau and would recommend to anyone in the area. I look forward to exploring more on what they have to offer.

I stop here often for ‘just me’. Lately I’ve begun doing a little PR work involving provisions and wanted to avoid the common grocery store treats or donut shop sugar bombs. Stopped in at 7am to be thoroughly delighted with a wonderful assortment of breakfast savorys as well as the endless flakey, buttery creations.
The next best thing to a trip to Paris. Now shared en mass with the trauma doc’s. Trust me… this went over very well.
Merci beaucoup Trompeau!

If you love the finer things in life, like butter and options… Trompeau is just for you. Everyday except Sunday is a good day to visit Trompeau. The best days are Thursday and Saturday. On Saturday mornings if you time things just right, you may only be in line for a few minutes. But most of the time the line is out the door and sometimes down the sidewalk. I’ve yet to have something bad. Sometimes they make these delectable savory puff pastries with sausage and garlic called «Friands.» Saturdays seem to have an amped up selection with Crown Brioche, Canele’s, Napoleons, Eclairs and so many other tasty treats. The customer service is friendly. And if you need something to drink how bout a Perrier, Orangina, or some Kaladi Coffee.

We have been visiting Trompeau regularly since they were located in a tiny storefront on Evans by the University.
Their move has been one of the best things ever — they are closer to us now, making it easier to get there on Saturday before the crowds.
We have enjoyed their croissants and rustic baguettes (and scones during the time they had some). Their new desserts are delicious. And their quiches are a fabulous meal for unexpected guests or for special occasions when you may not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. (You can buy them frozen or pre-​cooked.)
WARNING: If you want a good selection on Saturday, get there before 8:00 and expect a line unless you are willing to do your shopping at 6:30. They are closed on Sundays.
WARNING 2: If you want a lot of something, call ahead. They are wonderful about filling special orders, but don’t expect to find a huge selection on the fly any time but early morning. They don’t sell day-​olds, so they make only what they know will sell.
My only complaint is that specialty coffee drinks hold up the line an inordinate amount of time on Saturdays. They would do well to have one (speedy) barista working the coffee/​latte/​espresso machine and two counter people rather than each counter person being responsible for their own beverages.

Amazing!!! Incredible assortment, but if you have a hankering for that one special treat… call ahead.
Busy because they are great!

Delicious breads, croissants, biscotti… oh my! This place is a gift to have here in Englewood. Everything is always fresh and passionately prepared. Love the people!

I think this place is great! There were a ton of options and the place was really busy. It seems like this is the bakery for the neighborhood and they have a ton of regulars.
So I went pretty simple and got some kind of cherry pastry. It was nice and flaky with a great bit of cherry sweetness to it. I’m not going to act like I’m an expert on pastries or bread, but what I do know is coffee!
So they use Kaladi here. Sweet! I figured they’d use a decent roaster since they’re so close to two of the most popular roasters in Denver. I think the business gets major points for serving a good coffee roaster and fantastic pastries.
The only real downside of my trip was how long it took. I was done ordering and eating my pastry in under a minute but the line moved pretty slow. Friendly customer service and a terrific product, I’ll be back.

I used to live in Denver and now currently in NYC. This place is a must every time I visit. I was just here and picked up an order of almond croissants. By far the most amazing pastries I have ever had. I have even looked in NYC to replace them but I have yet to do so. I can tell you they taste 100 times better than a cronut. Don’t just try the croissants try everything. I have yet to try something there I didn’t love.

What kind of bakery is closed on Sundays??? Come on. Also, rude staff. Messy shop. Boo.

I’ve been to this bakery twice now and I have to say it’s one of the best I’ve ever tried. The talented bakers here make everything from simple whole wheat bread to decadent French pastries to perfection. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Awesome, everything, eat pastries here. Get fat like me. It’s good I’ve never eaten anything that was not off the charts! Just go, you won’t regret it… until you step on the scale. But who cares?

I showed up late afternoon and the selection was thin. However, the pieces I was able to get are so wonderful, light and fluffy that I’ll force myself to make it there earlier to try everything.
Store was exceptionally clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
I look forward to many mornings here. Absolutely delicious.

Soft & flaky croissants, so worth a detour in the morning. My favorite sweet is the raspberry cream cheese croissant — sooo good! Had to try the chocolate croissant as well, and was so glad I did. I definitely recommend having them warm.

Our favorite Saturday morning stop!
They do run out of product and the lines can get long, but we have yet to find anything we didn’t like.
Be adventurous! Everything is fantastic!

Best French bakery in the mile high metro by a mile. Reminded me of my childhood in France. Authentic with amazing quality.
They do run out I’d baked goods if you don’t get there early enough, same as a good patisserie dies in France. In my book that isn’t a reason to give them a bad review, it just shows they have a fantastic product.

This is a great bakery and a must visit for any locals or visitors. If you want to have a pastry that is straight from Paris, this is the place to go.
Be sure you get there early, if you show up too late, you will have limited options.

Their food can be great. Problems we have encountered: limited hours, they sell out of the best items early, limited production of breads and pastries. Mixed bag. Show up early in the morn (6AM would likely work though we have never made it here at that hour) if you can and don’t even consider coming on holidays/​Sundays when they are inevitably closed.

This place is so awesome we almost don’t want to review it! Just want to keep it our special little spot! But we love what they do so much that they deserve the recognition. We are foodies and one of us even a chef. This is absolutely one of Denver’s best gems.
The noise of work in the kitchen coupled with the bakers yelling back and forth in french just adds to the awesomeness! This is as authentic as it gets. And even as far as authentic french bakeries go this one particularly shines! We want to thank each baker and pastry chef who makes these delicious treats with such perfection!
They definitely run out of things which is why part of us doesn’t want to share this with the world! People have not given them less than 5 stars for not being friendly enough. Hey! They are French! Haha. Ok in all honesty they are friendly but not overly so. They are busy and its always a rush for them to keep up. Their service is more than adequate and if you engage them you will find they are real people and yes… nice. We do not care that schmoozing with customers is not their forte because they absolutely kill it at putting amazing creations from savory to sweet out on the shelves!

Very rude. Very French.
One of the least marvelous things about Europe is the lack of customer service at stores. In France and Germany it can be impossible to get anyone to wait on you. Instead the employees will stand around, smoke, chat and give hateful looks to customer asking for help — or, God forbid, to be checked out today, if you please.
Can’t afford a trip to Europe? Not to worry! You can experience the same lack of service and zero f*cks given attitude right here in Denver at Trompeau Bakery!
Yes! You too can wait patiently for 20 minutes or more only to be completely ignored by «Madame» once you reach the front of the line. Never mind that you have a basket full of items that you’d like to purchase No no, she won’t take your money especially if someone she knows has just walked in to the store and that person would prefer to be waited on right now, if you please.
I can’t speak to the German lack of service having never lived there but the French certainly see themselves as defenders of Western Culture and woe be unto the person who crosses the Maitre d’hotel or in this case the Madame d’bakery. You see, treating paying customers like barbarians is their profession and their passion.
Enjoy!

I la-​la-​love this bakery. They have a huge variety of sweet and savory croissants and pastries that usually run from $ 3-​$ 5. The croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery, yet soft at the same time. How do they do it? I don’t know and I don’t care. I just like it in my belly.
The service is awesome here. They are very friendly and smiley. I like. There are seats inside and they recently rearranged the area to make it easier to get in and get out.
Not sure what to get? Get anything savory and get is warmed up – so good! Or, if you’re not in the mood for savory, the chocolate croissant is always delicious (but even more delicious warmed up)! The loaf of Rosemary Garlic bread is also really good! Okay, okay, I guess everything is really good here — you really can’t go wrong with anything here.

French bakery with no french baguettes, I’m missing something. They also just threw my croque monsieur into a to go bag and handed it to me. I almost gave them 2 stars because the sandwich is pretty tasty.
No bike parking.

I am a massive fan of Trompeau’s. As someone who is not crazy about sweets (really — I am a meat and veggies kind of girl), I would gladly have breakfast here every day of the week.
The one and only issue I have, is that they are closed on Sundays. Whyyyyyyyy!!! This is technically a 4.9999 star review, but I rounded up.
Everything we have eaten here tasted phenomenally, and the items are as unique as they are delicious — coconut chocolate croissant, pear and chocolate croissant (unreal!), regular pain au chocolat, Napoleon cake, fruit tarts… and the cappuccinos are great, too!
Other items I’ve seen include a blueberry cream cheese croissant, a raspberry croissant, and lots of savoury ones including ham and swiss, spinach and parmesan, and more.
This place is wonderful! Your tastebuds will thank you.

Best French baguettes in Denver. Chocolate croissants are dank as well.
