The Bindery

Clean, open, lively atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Bloody Mary was spicy and stacked with snacks. Crab Cakes Benedict was yummy and presented with greens. Savory and sweet empanada pastries were also very good. A solid place for brunch!

I go back to the bindery again and again for the elevated service and the beautiful atmosphere, especially in the morning when the sunlight streams through the tall east facing windows. I think they have good pastries, and elevated brunch food. I agree that at times execution can be inconsistent. But it’s still always generally very good And I can count on really enjoying the service and the environment. I love to go there for a long morning, brunch with friends or family on a weekday when the place is not so busy.

I advised the restaurant on my reservation that my friend was in a wheelchair. Not only was this information ignored, but this building is almost completely inaccessible to the handicapped. The front door is surrounded by a large curb which blocks access. There's a rear door, but this is locked and blocked by furniture. There is a front patio at sidewalk level which gives access to the front door, but it is mostly blocked by large planters. The only way we could get in was to maneuver past a gap in the planters which was blocked by two tables and a large, free-standing umbrella. This is truly outrageous. I really should have rated this place at one star; however, we did enjoy the food once we fought our way inside. The restaurant was very quiet at 6:00 p.m. on a Wednesday with less than 20% of the tables occupied. Maybe the other potential guests were not as determined as we were to find a way inside. Only one server was on duty, but he was gracious, efficient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We decided to share two dishes, starting with the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes, spiced peaches, cucumber, crispy quinoa, sesame, and vanilla oil. This was beautifully presented and all of the components went well together. Hearty, toasted bread was provided, so the burrata was spread on that and we worked our way through the accompaniments. The only sour note was the complete lack of seasoning. Even just a bit of salt would have gone a long way to bring out the flavors of this dish. We finished with the Olathe Corn Risotto which was garnished with parmesan, tomatoes, and pancetta. This was a delicious dish. All of the components melded perfectly with each other. We enjoyed it a lot. The wine list is well-selected. I chose a Spanish red blend, the 2023 Vinicola del Priorat. It went well with our food selections. The room is elegant with a high ceiling, open kitchen, long bar, and large bakery. The many windows offer a beautiful view of the Platte Valley and downtown Denver. I just can't get past the handicapped access disaster, though.

Outstanding!!! We had a pumpkin chai cinnamon roll, sweet Dutch baby & the lump crab Benedict…all were divine!! Absolutely the best food we had in Denver! Our server was warm & kind! Happened to meet the owner and she was the same! Cannot say enough good! We almost didn’t come because it had 4.4 stars & I have NO idea what that is about. This is a solid 5 out of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Best food we had all weekend. The Dutch baby was incredible. It light, custardy, and I could only get through half of it it was so big. Lots of blueberries and butter with it. The crab eggs Benedict was delicious. The service was professional and helpful.
