The incoming Aura’s Bakery will debut at 6230 Leetsdale Dr Denver, CO 80224, according to a commercial construction permit recently filed with the city. The bakery will join Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers and PrimoHoagies in a new shopping center just east of Cherry Creek.
The project details read as follows:
“[Change of occupancy] Interior remodeling for bakery adaptation, construction of dividing walls, installation of doors, flooring, painting, air conditioning installations, electrical and plumbing installations, lamps, and decoration for the counter.”
Venezuelan-born & raised Aura Langdon opened Aura’s Bakery in 2020 after moving to the US from her native country eight years earlier. While Langdon had little professional experience, she maintained a staunch belief in the quality of her culture’s cuisine.
Landing in Texas before moving to Golden and then Denver, Aura became a nanny by day and a baker by night. Her specialty and her eventual bakery’s staple? Tequeños.
“Traditionally, these treats are comprised of fried dough stuffed with queso blanco or white cheese,” explains 303 Magazine. “While [Aura’s Bakery] does offer the classic rendition, it also features the same dough filled with a plethora of sweet combinations from Nutella and apple pie filling to savory combinations from white cheese and guava, goat cheese and pesto and ricotta, bacon and leek.”
In 2020, Langdon professed hopes to turn her pick-up-only operation into a commissary kitchen and wholesale for local restaurants to follow. It’s currently unclear if the incoming establishment will abide by her initial plans or take a different shape.
