In the heart of Northwest Denver’s vibrant community, Bakery Four has rapidly risen from its humble beginnings as a cottage food business to become a cornerstone of the local artisan scene. Founded by Shawn Bergin in October 2019, the bakery quickly outgrew its initial setup, moving to a brick-and-mortar location on W 32nd Avenue by May 2020. Demonstrating remarkable growth, by March 2022, Bakery Four had expanded yet again, settling into a spacious 3,000-square-foot space on Tennyson Street. This expansion was driven by the bakery’s dedication to serving a growing demand for its range of high-quality artisanal breads and pastries, reflecting the community’s support and desire for homemade, meticulously crafted baked goods.
The bakery is celebrated not only for its exceptional offerings but also for its commitment to traditional baking methods, using natural fermentation processes and high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Its sourdough loaves, buttery croissants, and seasonal pastries have earned a devoted following, with customers often lining up before the doors open to snag their favorites.
At the cornerstone of Bakery Four’s success is its commitment to quality and a relentless pursuit of excellence in the baking craft. Sourcing top-tier ingredients like Cairnspring Mills flour, Isigny St Mere butter, and Valrhona Chocolate, the bakery has distinguished itself in Denver’s competitive food scene. Each product, be it a reminiscence of your favorite childhood sweet or an exquisite artisan bread, is made from scratch with painstaking attention to detail. This unwavering dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed. For three consecutive years, Bakery Four has been lauded as the people’s choice for the best bakery by prestigious local publications, including Westword and 5280 magazine in 2022, 2023, and 2024. These accolades underscore not only the community’s recognition of Bakery Four’s excellence but also its integral role in enriching Denver’s culinary landscape.
For Shawn Bergin and his team, Bakery Four is more than just a bakery—it’s a labor of love and a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and the enduring appeal of truly artisanal food.
