Reviews 5280 Magazine: "Everything there is heavenly." Denver Post: "There are many pretenders to the crown, but this is THE place to buy a boule, that hearty round of bread you find in better restaurants, with the crisp crust and tender insides just aching to be slathered with real butter." Denver Post: "When you want real bread from a real bakery that specializes in the staff of life, go to the Denver Bread Co." D'Zine: 2000 "the finest whole wheat sourdough loaf for miles" Freestyle: Best focaccia in town Jay Fox's Dining Guide: 1995 DBC has "finest boule bread ever baked"; 1997 Best bread in town National Geographic Traveler: Neighborhood Watch, April 2004 ("The Place" in Denver Highlands Neighborhood to enjoy fragrant homemade loaves.) Pirate Gallery: "With his daring use of avant-garde ingredients balanced by a generous nod to a grand tradition, he makes bread that is truly high art." Restaurant Hospitality: 2005 Mel Master – "absolutely the finest bread in Denver" Rocky Mountain News: John Lehndorff – "Every time we taste any of Greg Bortz's oven wonders, we are sure of one thing: we'd put these chewy artisan loaves up against ANY boule, batard, and baguette in the nation." Sunset: 2004 Front range bakery for holiday treats Talk of the Town: "BEST chocolate chip/walnut cookies" Westword: "Hands down – Denver Bread Co. baker/owner Greg Bortz continues to make the best bread in the city." Westword: "It takes a true artisan to make artisan breads. At the Denver Bread Company, the resident genius is owner Greg Bortz, who focuses on a limited but well-chosen roster of hand-crafted loaves." Westword: "You've probably tasted Bortz's breads around town; he's accumulating quite an elite group of restaurants that serve his to-die-for breads." Zest Catering: "the flavor of this fresh baked loaf has a richness all its own" |
