My daughter has a soy allergy, and finding safe baked goods is usually impossible. Most of the time, her only option has been frozen products from the grocery store. This bakery is about a 30-minute drive for us, but it is well worth it. The variety they offer all gluten-free and clearly labeled for multiple allergens, is something we rarely see. They use a simple, effective color-coded system to label allergens. Each product sits on a piece of colored paper, and each color represents a specific allergen: green for plant-based, blue for dairy, yellow for egg, orange for soy, and red for tree nut/coconut. If a product contains more than one allergen, it will have multiple colors beneath it. This made it quick and easy to spot which items were safe for my daughter. Their selection is huge! Donuts, bagels, danishes, apple fritters, cookies, cupcakes, English muffins, specialty breads, pizzas, calzones, even pre-made meals like lasagna and macaroni and cheese. We spent about $100 and brought home bagels, danishes, apple fritters, and donuts, all fresh and made that day. The staff was friendly, answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed, even though they were busy. Most importantly, my daughter has already eaten three donuts and a danish with no reaction, proving that their allergen labels are accurate and trustworthy.

WOW. I randomly found this place when I was in town and decided to come get just a doughnut. I can’t even believe there’s no eggs or dairy in this. It’s the best gluten-free donut I have ever had and I’m a gluten-free bakery freak ya’ll. It’s light, yeasty, and springy with a touch of chew to the dough. The gentlemen working behind the counter, told me they’re made fresh every day. I’m excited to come back when I’m in this part of Denver again!

My husband has gluten/dairy/egg/soy intolerances. It’s been nearly impossible to find him any kind of bread or bun that fits them all, tastes good and isn’t so heavy and so dense that it’s hard to chew! Blue Hummingbird you’ve done it!! He is SO happy with everything he’s tried! The rolls and buns let him eat a sandwich or a burger again! The bread makes perfect toast. I so appreciate the customer service. Thank you for all you do and the extra efforts you make for your customers.
