Do you remember when you used to visit your grandma's house and the first thing you would do is eat a bunch of her melt-in-your-mouth cookies? I long for this simpler time, which is why I was so excited to discover this Colorado bakery that serves homemade cookies almost as good as grandma used to make:
Located in Denver is the magically named Mermaids Bakery, which serves chocolate chip cookies that are just as — do we dare say — magic!
Now a Colorado staple, Mermaids boasts both a welcoming staff and atmosphere, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike!
What kind of goodies can you sink your teeth into at Mermaids? There are cakes that are truly a work of art...
It's just too pretty to eat (but tastes so good that I will still do it)!
...every kind of cupcake you could ever want...
I will take 1 (or 5) of each, please!
...incredible pies...
Grandma's Apple, Chocolate Cream, Buckeye... the gang is all here at Mermaids!
...and yes: chocolate chip cookies as good as grandma used to make!
Don't just take our word for these cookies being the best, as MentalFloss even named them the best in Colorado, citing "Although Mermaids offers a traditional chocolate chip, sea salt chocolate chip, and peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, the standout is their chocolate chip pretzel cookie, which is the perfect mix of sweet chocolate and salted pretzel pieces."
Mermaids Bakery is located at 1543 Champa St. in Denver and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
