The bakery at 4684 Broadway has been a neighborhood anchor for decades, turning out fresh pastries, soups, and sandwiches every single day. It is the kind of place where the smell of butter and warm bread greets you at the door.</p> <h2 id="the-story-behind-the-name">The Story Behind the Name</h2> <p>Spruce Confections started in 1992 when founder David Cohen began baking cookies in a friend's basement on Spruce Street in Boulder. With just a wooden spoon and a little startup money, he hand-delivered his now-famous &quot;Old B Cookie&quot; to local cafés. The business grew steadily, earning a loyal following built on simple ingredients and from-scratch baking. More than thirty years later, that same spirit still drives everything that comes out of the kitchen.</p>
