Local Love: Bakery Four

Bakery Four has swiftly risen to the top of the list when it comes to Front Range residents’ favorite bakeries, and has earned accolades such as StarChef’s Rising Baker Award and Westword’s People’s Choice Best Bakery 2022 Award.

That said, it is not uncommon for patrons to be waiting outside for upwards of two hours to be first in line for these whole grain-focused goodies. It’s no wonder why— every morsel is baked before sunrise the same day it’s sold, and the ingredients that go into each bite are intentionally sourced.
