A line stretched down the snow-covered block on Sunday morning for the grand opening of Third Culture Bakery in Aurora. Customers waited as long as 2 1/2 hours to step inside the pink and white store, also known as the “showroom” by its owners. By mid-week, the line still formed inside the bakery, with customers trekking from Green Valley Ranch or CU Denver for tastes of chewy, mochi-filled muffins (gluten-free, $3.95) and doughnuts (also gluten-free, $3-$3.25) and various preparations of matcha tea — like in lychee “sparklers” or roasted lattes (drinks from $2.50-$7). “You can feel the love,” co-owner Wenter Shyu said from behind the pastry counter. Third Culture founders Shyu and Sam Butarbutar, along with Denver business partner Rachel Taber, brought their Berkeley, Calif.-based business to Aurora last week. This East Colfax and Elmira Street shop is the first Colorado location for the multicultural bakery, with another planned for somewhere near downtown Denver next summer. The team also has plans for L.A.
