Good little donut shop. Get the chipotle sauce on the breakfast sandwiches, it’s good! Also got the buttermilk bar, which is like my favorite the old fashion, but better. Need to enhance the experience though if they want to compete with other trendy donut shops. Had fast friendly service with a smile. It’s worth a try.
There are still a couple things I need to try off the menu but i am sometimes be basic and just get what i know i like. Which so far is everything i have tried from Wake N Bake! They are also so nice and accommodating. Its clean and everything is SO fresh! The donuts are full and fluffy. I also love that they have more than donuts. Its hard not to eat here all the time since my work is next door but Im okay with that.
I stopped by this shop on my way out of Denver for some breakfast and it was the best start to my 12 hour road trip! I love how they display their donuts, the variety that they offer, as well as fun options. The prices are very affordable ranging $1.25-2 per donut and they offer sausage rolls!! As a Texan I was pretty excited to see this as an option and their take on it was EXCELLENT. Good dough and a great hefty sausage that doesn’t skimp. Good crumb on the donuts. Pro tip: get the cream cheese croissant and they will warm it up!!
Used to come here for a few years. I miss the hours and the donuts. I used to come here at midnight or 3am and always get fresh donuts. I really liked the night crew. They where the donuts that raised my expectation for donuts. The new hours are ridiculous and because of my schedule I cant even come in if I wanted too. But the last time I went the donuts where just not the same anymore. What I mean by that is they used to be godly fluffy on the inside and had a nice almost crunch on the outside. Prices change too. Things change I guess.
I love this place. The iced caramel mocha is my favorite and the donuts are amazing. The apple fritter is sooooo good.I love the kolaches as well, but unfortunately was disappointed today.Ordered (Doordash) the sausage and cheese but they were out of those, so I received the sausage, cheese and jalapeño instead, no big deal. Was still super excited.But unfortunately the kolaches I received were so different from every other time I have had them.Super thick dough. Looked nothing like their kolaches normally do.Just not what I was expecting and I feel bad for being disappointed, but it was just a let down.Not sure why they were different today.
Oooooh! This place is so great! Customer service is outstanding and everything is so well made! :chef’s-kiss: 🍩
This shop is dangerously close to my house, which tests my self control on a regular basis.Truly, the best donuts around. Friendly staff and solid breakfast sandwiches to boot. Whenever we have guests in town this is a top recommendation for early morning starts. Highly recommend you check it out.
Excellent breakfast sandwiches. I always go with the croissant. All the donuts are great. The buttermilk bar, of course, but I didnt really like fritters much before I tried them here. Now Im hooked! Thanks for the awakening.
My go-to spot in Denver... Hands down!🙌Top 10 Best Things Ive Ever Put In My Mouth👀Very sweet & friendly staff, too!Theres a reason for the line out their door DAILY!
Always fresh, always quick, and staff is always friendly. The cinnamon crunch is the best donut! The breakfast sandwiches are also really good, and nice to have to give you a little more substantial breakfast with your donut. Definitely check this place out!
This place has the BEST donuts (especially love their vegan options), though everything Ive tried has been delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, great people. Highly recommend!
Amazing donuts and breakfast options! I love their breakfast wraps. Its such a great addition to S Broadway. Give it a try, you wont regret it!
OMGee! Above & beyond customer service! Placed an order from Cinci for my Denver sister’s birthday & included that it was her birthday— you know, just in case. ;) You wrote a special birthday message on the box & included a birthday decoration & it was so perfect!! Thank you, thank you for the extra love you put into this order. Little things like this… can’t wait to visit you in person on my next trip to Denver!
Terrible experience for a first time person. Walked in before nine and they had nearly zero donuts. Ordered a breakfast sandwich that took nearly 20 minutes to make and it was stone cold. The eggs were filmy like they had been undercooked and found a lovely hair right in the middle. Shame because this place had great reviews but I won’t be back and I’d suggest others to do the same.
My friend and I went for a quick breakfast before some other adventures around the city. We tried the donut holes, an apple fritter, and a maple bar thing. The donut holes were fine but nothing special. The other two donuts were overly sweet to us and just not worth it. We didn’t finish them and opted for a different breakfast. Aside from the food, the woman working the counter seemed very annoyed that we were trying to figure out what to try. We let other customers go in front of us while we decided so we didn’t hold up the line. She offered zero help and just kept trying to rush us along.
It is excellent and I love the bagels. This could be the perfect donut for the right person, especially if you aren’t immune to things being “too sweet”. The 4 stars is personal opinion since I’ll always be a Shipleys man at heart, it’s just the bestest, but there is less icing on these making it better when the sweet tooth isn’t quite as aggressive that day. I’ll keep ordering especially for the bagels.
By far hands down best donuts in town. Stay away from the chains when you can buy from a locally owned shop. Always fresh, excellent selection and very friendly staff. I had the best Apple fritter Ive ever had, so delicious. Since today is Valentines Day they also had heart shaped raspberry filled glazed donuts YUUUMMMM!Happy
In the business we do, we need to have our meetings early in the morning at around 5 AM. There are not many choices of donuts in the area that open before 5 AM. I have used Wake & Bake on two occasions. Their ordering process is seamless and their delivery with Grubhub was prompt. I would recommend this place to those who are awake before everyone else gets going. Great Job!!!
Love this little place! Great selection of donuts and breakfast items like bagels, kolaches, and breakfast burritos. Support a local business and grab a breakfast here :)
Wake n Bake is a great morning adventure. Wonderfully great selection and friendly people to start the day. A treat all the way around.
Super delish donuts, and quality espresso. The orange donut is my go to. The staff is always super friendly. Oh my goodness, posting this review had gotten my stomach grumbling.
The staff is very nice and welcoming and the food and drinks are amazing! The donuts are, of course, very tasty and seem to always be freshly made :)
Great donuts, a must try. Had a buttermilk bar and an apple fritter. Absolutely delicious.
I have enjoyed everything I get. Especially like the jalapeno sausage kolcahes and the chocolate eclair donut bar
Incredible donuts, but their order pickup process (if you place online) at the location is unclear and takes a while at times. Sad they changed their business name, too! Used to be called “wake n bake donuts”.
Always is out of some sort of food item. management needs to learn how to do some basic inventory tracking and stocking. asked for 3 different items on the menu and they said they were out of different things. if youre not here 1st thing in the morning I would skip this place and go somewhere else
This is an amazing restaurant! Their breakfast sandwiches look, feel, and taste like a breakfast sandwich should. Einsteins Bagels, Delectable Eggs, and any other breakfast place can eat a @#$& when it comes to this joint. Competitive prices, great food and pastries that actually fills me up makes this one of my favorite restaurants to order from. The only down part is when ordering from this place via GrubHub their full menu which includes their tasty 😋 breakfast sandwiches may or may not be displayed.
Delicious, and surprisingly, more affordable than competitors. Highly recommend their buttermilk bars.
Im there once a week buying donuts or bagels for my team. Everyone loves them, and the crew at Wake N Bake are always very pleasant.
Order was supposed to be ready at 728 am here I am 20 mins later finally getting my order smh. Thanks, now Im late. Thats the whole point of ordering ahead, next time I will just cook
Can never say enough about this place. Great customer service and staff. Food is great. Doughnuts are fantastic. Protein Bowl is yummy, as well as the Burrito and breakfast sandwich 🥪 I think its truly one if the best places in Denver for your money. You will never be unsatisfied, they are always constantly great! So Far, lol. Thats hard to find
If you catch me day dreaming, I’m thinking about these donuts. By far Best donuts in Denver. Plus, the Sausage Kolachi’s are fire!
This place is really great. Love the food and the coffee.
Absolutely love their kolaches! Their breakfast tacos are also so good (specially the chorizo and egg one)! Also love their donus! Great breakfast spot!
I randomly ordered from this place this morning and was absolutely blown away! Donuts are absolutely delicious and their breakfast sandwiches actually filled my teenagers up! I love the option to add veggies to the sandwich and the fresh juices are worth every penny! Trust me get the 20oz carrot/orange juice it’s spectacular!!!! Also the coffee was so tasty no cream or sugar needed when eating with the donuts. This place absolutely blows any chain or grocery bakery out of the water. Will be our go to place when our sweet tooth kicks in!
Great little donut shop, much better than its predecessor, Winchells.
This is one I keep coming back to. All things breakfast eggable to go. The donuts are memorable and delicious and they call for you to come back and have some more. This time I brought the hubs and he agrees best donuts in the area!
I allows gauge a good doughnut shop by their plain cake doughnut and the nuances of its flavoring. The plain doughnut at Wake & Bake great. I recently had their protein bowl which was amazing as well. I will continue to return.
Use to come here all the time when it was Winchells, then the name changed and everything started going downhill. Quality went down, no longer 24 hours (which is understandable), yet the price went up. Doesnt make much sense to me so i will be on the look out for a new Winchells location.(Edit: not just an opinion, facts. Fresh donuts 24/7 vs fresh donuts the first few hours yall are open. Id say thats quality downgrade, then price and time is self explanatory. Didnt think i needed to explain this.)
W&B are hands down the best doughnuts in Denver. Hand crafted and made with love… fresh every day!!! There are plenty of doughnut shops around town that go way over the top with what an artisan doughnut should have on it… and how much they should cost. Wake and Bake strikes the perfect balance of high end classic doughnuts for at a great price. Their blueberry cake doughnut with change your life!!!
Pretty bad sandwich for a place that specializes in breakfast. Cheap store bought packaged bagel, no redeeming qualities overall
First review: Great spot for pastries and doughnuts! The coffee and breakfast sandwhich hit the spot as well!SECOND & MOST RECENT: I had to take my 5 star review back. I came back here on 7/26/21 and got the breakfast wrap. Took one bite and instantly crunched on a shell... figured hey its just one and took a bite from the other side to my shock another egg shell. I dont know why the cook did this to me but I felt it was intentional. I had tipped a gracious amount and this is how you repay me?Sad because I liked this place
This is the best quick breakfast Ive ever had in Denver. The donuts are amazing but the breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, fresh squeezed orange juices, and pastries are equally delicious if not better. Theres usually a short line but it moves quick and is worth the wait. The staff is so nice and speedy too.
Yum! I ordered an Apple fitter, chi latte, and everything bagel sandwich. The sandwich was perfect, melted cheese, egg, and thick bacon. The Apple fritter is magical. I will definitely be back again. ❤️☕️🥯🍩❤️
This place is alway great the customer service is on point. Try everything you wont be disappointed.
Really not a fan of their chai; it tasted mostly of milk and quite sweet (Im use to the spicy version you see in Denver often). The wait for a breakfast sandwich at 9am on a Friday was quite long- 15 minutes. Not a lot of indoor space. Donuts were fine. My partner did love his chorizo bagel sandwich.
Sooo good.. My kids love this place! My daughter wanted doughnuts for her bday she likes them so much.
Incredible vegan donuts, but they only make them on the weekends and sell out very quickly. Please make more!!
The driest and blandest bacon egg and cheese Ive ever had. Impossible to eat without the help of a drink. Popeyes biscuits are easier to get down and taste better
Great customer service from start to finish. Truly a neighborhood gem. Will come back ❤️❤️❤️
Tasty coffee and unique donuts. Across the street from VP visit last week! This place was super chill with the crowd. Stopped in by chance and definitely will be back.
Friendly Staff & a one-of-a-kind doughnut selection! Check it out!
Hidden gem of South Broadway! At first I thought this place was just a re-branded Winchells, but its so much more and so much better than that. Its its own unique shop with interesting flavors and classic combinations. The savory selection is extra fun as well if you dont only want to go with sweet treats. I love the buttermilk bars (either maple or glazed!) and the peanut butter jelly donut. Dont miss this spot!
Was better when it was Winchell’s Doughnuts,Went there for over 26yrs and couldn’t have been happier with the hours. All night long for the late night walk ins. Name changed changed so did prices. Went to the new joint for a bit and had to go back 3 different times because of a raw cinnamon roll. They looked at me crazy the last time going in like I robbed them for a doughnut. Made me laugh. I used to go in and every time come out with 25+ doughnuts, Not anymore. Had to find another Winchell’s. Hearing that the breakfast foods are terrible too.Well things change. Hardly ever go in there anymore.
I came at 2 am because their sign said they were open at 1am. The sign was flipped to close. The brunette girl working in the back looked straight at me and went back down to her phone. I work overnights so I was super excited to see a business that was available for the night crawlers. I would love to come and try the food, but the actual hours for delivery vs takeout should be listed.
Great staff Grubhub orders are always ready 👍Best 🍩 in Colorado support small business 👏
Great donuts cool little company. Wish they werent always out of vegan options for donuts but appreciate that they make them.
I love Wake & Bake!! Ive been here a handful of times as I live just a few blocks away. I just tried their maple raised donut today and OH MY! It is SO good. I always get their carrot and orange juice and Im in love with it. Highly recommend. Outstanding customer service too!
Great spot and if you get there in time for a kolache; youre in for a treat for sure!
The wraps aka burritos are below average. No flavor and mostly tortilla. Tried all of them at a company meeting. Preparation of the Ingredients inside was mediocre also. A sausage patty or egg sliced in half between three layers of tortilla.
Great pastries, coffee and friendly staff! Will be back for sure.
For the price the donuts were not great. We ordered two bagel sandwiches and the bagels were fine too, definitely something you could make at home.
I’ve been here several times now. It’s incredibly delicious and the staff are very friendly. Their breakfast sandwiches/wraps are never a dispensary and the donuts and pastries are flippin amazing. Highly recommend 😉
Even though I worked for starbucks this place is quickly becoming my favorite coffee joint. I love that they use paper based straws. They may be a bit weak by the end but they do the job and save some turtles. Win win in my opinion. I order off of grubhub a lot. One time they ran out of the doughnut I ordered. Instead of just sending what they did have they gave me something close to what I ordered, and then gave me some doughnut holes. (my puppy loved the one or two I gave her and says thank you). They also sent a sweat apology message. It really felt like they cared about me as a customer. If i could give more than 5 stars I would. So far the only complaints I have, i assume, are related to covid supply chain issues. I would recommend this company to any one.
Definitely the best donuts Ive tried in Denver so far! Got a Kalache, plain glazed donut, blueberry cake donut, and chocolate/Bavarian cream eclair -- all fresh, great textures, and flavorful without being sickeningly sweet.
Doughboy and Farmhouse sandwiches are amazing! Donuts that we’ve had are the best we’ve had in a very long time. We will definitely be ordering from them again and frequently!
Staff seemed untrained and didnt understand what we wanted in our order. Two items were not as ordered. They were nice about fixing it but it took a while and another customer came in also complaining of an incorrect order. Food was pretty average.
Very good donuts. Coffee okay.
I really wanted to like this place.Someone brought some in for work and the glazed donut I had was really good.Came with my wife 2 different times. First time they were extremely picked over and we only had 4 choices. The cinnamon rolls were a letdown. Next time, I went early and the selection was fine, but it was hit or miss on the donuts. The twist was great but the chocolate was meh.Oh and they have kolaches, but both times we went they all looked overcooked, almost burned. So we didnt even bother to try them.
So much better than the Winchells.. The donuts are delicious and I cant resist the breakfast sandwiches...
Got the hangry sandwich and it was amazing.
This location has only one person working in the morning so if you order a delivery from this place chances are its never going to get to you
They have the best donuts and kolaches! Great team.The parking lot is tight but great neighborhood spot. Always friendly and delicious!!
Super nice and helpful staff, but almost every single donut (we ordered 11) were undercooked with straight up raw dough in the middle, which was super disappointing. I hope they are able to cook them properly for future customers.
Stopped by on a whim, and Im so glad I did! The doughnuts are fresher and taste much better than Winchells. Service was fast and polite. I will definitely be back!
I like their donuts! I tried this one that look like orange 🍊 and it reminded me of a orange soda lol but it was good. But I had to try. Must try
Great place, many choices, why no vanilla frosted?Had glaze, it lavked flavor, bit overall good
Super delicious. I got the wrap with ham, eggs, and avocado. Omg 😍 and the donuts - super fresh 🍩 and they even have vegan donuts.
While the name is for sure a draw for the young trendy folks in Denver, the donuts really were not any different than the Winchells, I grew up going to. They just cost more. They are good. Nothing really special. The coffee on the other hand was not that good for the price. I ordered the iced Blackout and it was very very very weak. Watered down, and not a whole lot of caffeine effect. 7-11 coffee gives me more energy. The are new so maybe they can work out the kinks. They will be successful just because of their name and look. Not their products.I have no clue what the other reviewers are talking about, maybe they came on a better day then I did. It was all very mediocre. Spend less and get the same product at the grocery store bakery.
They have great online ordering options and the pickup is super easy. Delicious donuts! We tried about six different kinds and they’re all super tasty. Will be back to try more!
Dropped by in the morning for their Kolaches and donuts and they didn’t disappoint! Everything we ordered was fresh and you could taste the quality. Employees were friendly and although there was a line of customers, they were quick with service. Can’t wait to come back again!
I looked through the reviews prior to ordering here and noticed one guy who rated poorly solely based on him driving by the restaurant.. that guy made me want to order from here out of spite, and well.... Im glad I did! These donuts are incredible!!!! I got the half dozen and let your staff pick them and boy did they! So many good flavors at a much cheaper price than some of the other big donut shops in town (cough cough voodoo.) Anyway. You guys got a loyal customer in me and you can thank that dude who just drove by for it!
Great doughnuts and the gal working behind the counter was awesome!
This place is a donut-lovers dream (and your waistline’s nightmare). I consider myself a donut connoisseur and these donuts are damn good-fluffy, crispy and never dry. You should go here!
Had the Apple fritter and maple bar and they were to die for. Can’t wait to go back!!! A must stop
The kolaches that I had sausage and cheese fantastic!!!!!!!. The the bakery is need clean they follow all the guidelines at the CDC goes by. The employees are so nice couldnt ask for a better bakery for kolaches and other sweets. And they open up at 4:00 a.m. so please try them out!!!! Bon appetit
Yuum! The breakfast sandwiches were amazing and great prices too! They were also Super friendly!The caramel latte was nice and strong and not too sweet, which is perfect for me!We will definitely be back! :)
Quick and delicious! Great breakfast sandwich! I’ll be coming back weekly.
The staff is rad. The food is better. Unfortunately the espresso machine was down the whole time I was there so I dodnt get to rate the coffee, but the food was unbelievable. The donuts were amazing even for someone like me who doesnt often do sweets.
I have yet to eat here and I’m not sure I will. Every night on my drive home from work, I see the entire back of house staff working without masks and in close proximity. I trust that you make sure your employees don’t come to work sick, but with a store that is 90% windows, I would expect employees to take appropriate precautions, especially as back of house food handlers. Hopefully I will see this change so I can finally come in and try your enticing food.
I have seen this place a few times now and decided to give it a try today. Donuts are good enough. Comparable to your average donut shop. I was extremely disappointed with the coffee I got. I got a white mocha and was content with my morning until my first sip. I’m not sure if maybe it was a fluke cup but it is absolutely awful. Don’t recommend.
Great people great service. The food here tastes as amazing as it looks. Ill be posting some pictures of their displays because they look incredible, not to mention the prices, this place is super affordable.
