Best French Bakery in Parker

"Originally founded in a beautiful pale-yellow Victorian house off Pearl Street in Boulder, Lucile's Creole Café has been bringing delicious Southern Creole cooking to Denver for the past 38 years. The quaint eatery attracts loyal crowds for their delightful breakfast specialties and mouthwateringly warm beignets, which can be enjoyed in the homey interior or out on the lovely porch and patio, which boasts breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. The menu features creative takes on traditional dishes such as New Orleans praline waffles with pecans, fruit, and fresh whipped cream; eggs Sardou served with creamed spinach, fresh Gulf shrimp, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce; and blackened Atlantic salmon cooked Cajun style and served with two eggs, grits or potatoes, and a buttermilk biscuit."

"The beignets at Lucile’s are so good that they are offered both as an appetizer and a dessert. These fluffy, pillowy confections are served hot and topped with powdered sugar and are just as good as any you’ll find in New Orleans—yeah, we said it!"

"Originally founded in a funky old Victorian house off Boulder’s Pearl Street, this quaint morning eatery now generates long lines across the Front Range for its chicory coffee, beignets, pain perdu, and more Creole specialties."

"At Somebody People, the seasonal dinner menu tops out at about 12 dishes, but there’s not a weak link among them. A typical meal here might start with a handsomely plated snack of pesto-daubed almond skordalia served with crudités beneath a cap of shaved fennel; continue with charred broccolini atop roasted eggplant puree amid dollops of golden-raisin gremolata; and culminate in a handmade pasta. The flavor combinations are complex yet crystal-clear from beginning to end."

"This brightly colored, plant-filled, cute-and-cozy restaurant is one of the best vegan restaurants in Denver with its Mediterranean-leaning menu full of housemade pasta, risotto, and more. One thing we find really refreshing about Somebody People is the fact that you’ll never see fake meats on their menu. We strongly recommend their Carrot Bolognese, made with their funghetto pasta and paired with grilled-smoked oyster mushrooms and chimichurri sauce."

"Somebody People brings fresh, rustic Mediterranean flavors to Denver by celebrating local seasons and whole vegetables. The unique take on these classic veggies will have you second-guessing everything you thought you knew about vegetables."

"While the mom-and-pop original on Federal Boulevard was a staple well before bánh mì went mainstream in the U.S., this sunny, second generation-run bakery-cafe a few blocks away has done a bang-up job of raising the classic Vietnamese sandwich’s profile in Denver, offering eight different versions for good measure. And that’s not all: pastries and rice bowls, spring rolls and sesame balls, milk tea, iced coffee, and more make for complete meals throughout the day."

"Meatball, tofu, pork, and all, Denver’s standard-bearer for bánh mì serves up eight versions of the staple Vietnamese sandwich (not to mention three gluten-free alternatives) — not one over $6.75. May as well take two."

"Vinh Xuong Bakery, a Vietnamese and Chinese outpost in Westwood, is another much-loved, inexpensive go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 99 Yelp reviews."

"Devil’s Food Bakery & Cookery offers freshly baked pastries, breakfast, lunch, and supper brunch. All baked good are made from scratch and the bakery and cookery are located in the heart of Platt Park. Devil’s Food Bakery & Cookery is located at 1020 S Gaylord St, Denver, CO 80209."

"Southern fried chicken with smokey maple syrup and sausage gravy, all over a Belgian waffle. How could you not want to order this?. I can only assume that the service at the restaurant is so slow because of how much care they put into making their food as delicious as it looks."

"We will never get enough of Chicken and Waffles from Devil’s Food. Right now, they are offering this delicious dish for curbside pickup—served with a side of maple syrup and gravy, of course!"

"Whether you’re looking for cookies, custom cakes, muffins, pastries, or even just a good cup of coffee, the Sugar Bakeshop is another great option. Their funky little café area has a unique touch, a functioning typewriter that sits in front of a wall plastered with personal texts. Another wall is decorated with whimsical black and white photos of animals, and they have a chalk menu board that hangs above the register."

"Muffins, pop tarts, quickbreads, and brioche are on the seasonally changing menu at this Broadway shop. The custom buttercream and paleo diet-friendly cakes are also hits."

"Hand crafted sweets made with care can be picked up at this local bakery and coffee shop, from morning hand pies to afternoon whiskey soaked bundt cakes."

"One of the most popular contemporary galleries in Denver, this space gives artists—both local and national—a place to get creative. If you get a chance, we recommend stopping by during one of their exciting opening receptions to enjoy the art among other art lovers."

"This gallery offers two floors of gallery space, giving you plenty of room to enjoy local art. They have no exclusivity on who they display, so you can expect to see both emerging and established artists working with all different types of mediums."

"Rabbi Raymond Zwerin, one of the original founders of Babi Yar Park, walks through two very large inscribed granite gates at the entrance to the park in Denver near the intersection of Yale Ave and Havana on Aug. 4, 2011. Babi Yar Park memorializes the massacre of 200,000 people — mostly Jews — in the Babi Yar Ravine in Kiev Ukraine USSR between Sept. 29, 1941, and Nov. 6, 1943, in the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Named after a Ukrainian massacre site, Babi Yar opened in 1982 to commemorate the Holocaust with some of Denver’s most striking, minimalist public art and design elements."

"Four Mile Historic Park tells the story of Denver's oldest standing structure and the 12 acres around it. Four Mile House (now Four Mile House Museum) was built in 1859. In 1860, a widow and her two teenage children opened it as a stage stop for weary travelers who could wash up and have a home-cooked meal or spend the night before traveling the last four miles into Denver."

"January 10, February 14, March 13, April 10, May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14, September 11, October 09, November 13, December 11. FREE days are the second Friday of every month (except holidays) from noon to 4 p.m."

"Karen Zeldin, a horticulture worker for the Denver Parks Department., tends to the flower beds in Alamo Placita Park on Aug. 24, 2009. “If you accidentally glance over while you’re driving down Speer (Boulevard) you’ll see one of the most beautiful flower gardens in the city,” said Scott Gilmore, deputy executive director of Denver Parks & Recreation. Indeed, Alamo Placita’s compact but meticulously maintained gardens recall painterly European landscapes with their gently fanned geometric arrangements, which were designed by Saco Resnik DeBoer and opened to the public in 1927."
