Nightingale Bread

I’ve had a lot of pizza but this pizza was out of this world. The toppings were very good, but the crust was the best crust I’ve ever had on Neapolitan-American pizza. Definitely worth ordering. I had the spicy Rico and tried the a slice of the porcupine pizza as well. The crust was light and airy with a fabulously bubbly crust that showed an irregular gluten structure characteristic of not overworking the dough. The crust was charred perfectly to add an excellent smoky character. The care for grain was evident and the grain flavor was the star of the show when it came to the crust.

Everything. Is. Incredible. A fantastic local bakery. My favorite items include: 1. Ham & dill havarti sandwich - flavorful, fresh bread, filling, perfect 2. Any flavor of scone, especially peach basil 3. Cookies - salted dark chocolate is delicious, molasses spice is divine 4. Fougasse - Like a large pretzel with fresh bread and olives. I thought I didn’t like olives, but I love them in this. There are so many different things to try here, and all of it is good. Enjoy!

Delicious bread, nice people. Highly recommend!!! Toasted and buttered our treats from Nightingale and enjoyed them at home with a cup of Ethiopian Ardi fresh roasted coffee from Mission Coffee Roasters in Colorado Springs. The combination of fresh bread served with fresh locally roasted Mission coffee was perfect. Two artisan craft foods paired well together. So much enjoyed the cheddar and Pueblo chili pepper bread, the fruit and fennel mini loaf, and the seeded fruited loaf. Can’t say enough good things about this place, the staff, and the baked items. Go here, it’s good. Try the seeded fruited loaf that’s only offered on Friday and Saturday for sure!!! Made a baguette turkey and avocado sandwich with their bread as well. So good!
