The story of Lala’s is rooted in Capital Hill’s history. The story begins with the Boettcher Mansion, otherwise known as Governor’s Mansion. Governor’s Mansion was the idea of Walter Scott Cheesman who first arrived in Denver in 1861 in an ox pulled wagon. Walter Cheesman quickly became an enthusiastic and effective booster of his new city, helping to bring railroad service to Denver, and establishing the towns real estate industry. Walter Cheesman eventually married Alice Foster Sanger. Two years later their daughter, Glady was born and from the moment he saw her, Walter was devoted to her. As a teenager Glady helped her father design what would eventually become to be know as Governor’s Mansion. Unfortunately, just as construction was to begin in 1907, Walter Cheesman passed. Glady and her mother proceeded with the plans, and the result was a graceful, soaring home of three stories that soon became the envy of Denver high society. Glady and her mother would live in the house and over the years Glady Cheesman would follow in her fathers footsteps becoming a very influential socialite in the Denver community. Rumor has it that among her peers her nickname was Lala. Mrs. Cheesman died in 1923 and the house was sold to Claude K. Boettcher, a leading western businessman. Mr. Boettcher presented the deed to his wife Edna Boettcher as a Valentine’s Day present in 1924. The Boettcher’s focused much of their time touring the world acquiring furnishings and art to fill the mansion. Claude Boettcher died in 1957 and his wife Edna passed the following year. The house was left to a private family foundation, and at the wishes of Edna Boettcher was presented to the State of Colorado as a gift to be used as a governor’s residence. The Colorado Governor’s Residence began as a landmark private home, was transformed into a display of old-world elegance and remains one of the west’s true treasure houses. The house has been described as part executive, part repository of museum quality furnishings and art, and as a meeting place for the past and the future. By fulfilling this potential, Colorado itself is reflected, as the state unfolds from the hearts and dreams of its pioneers to become a truly cosmopolitan crossroads. Lala’s Wine Bar & Pizzeria is a reflection of the house that Lala helped to build.

To paraphrase Messrs. Garcia, Lesh, and Weir, “What a long great trip it’s been.” Launched from a little pushcart on Denver’s 16th Street Mall, The Duffeyroll Cafés have become popular neighborhood gathering places where folks enjoy our tasty fare, warm, friendly atmosphere, and sunny outdoor patios. For more information about our menus click here. It all started with our distinctive cinnamon rolls which are still baked fresh daily onsite. When we opened our first cafe in Happy Canyon in 1986, the shopping center was half full and the economy was in rough shape. Sound familiar? Our confidence came from our belief in our unique recipe, tireless enthusiasm, and commitment to great service. Simply put, the Duffeyroll is a treat that makes people happy. From 1993 through 1997, our “Roll Patrol” took to the streets of the burgeoning Denver Tech Center introducing more and more folks to the Duffeyroll. Catering and delivery throughout the city also helped establish our unique recipe and affable brand. In 2002–by popular demand–we introduced our Duffeyrolls in a bake-at-home pan. They are available in our cafés and also featured in our unique fundraising program. In 2005 our Hampden Café was bulging at the seams. A loyal following and a little bit of pluck convinced us that we could expand to a second location on charming Old South Pearl Street in Denver. We opened a third location in Englewood in 2010. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary with a fresh new look and updated menu–and yes, even a Facebook page and Twitter account–we look forward to our second generation. Look for our vintage ‘63 Volkswagen van cruising around the metro area and at special events and venues around the city. But the Duffeyroll itself, and our friendly cafés aren’t just about food. They’re also about neighborhood, community, and conviviality. Each of our cafés features a photo gallery of our customers and friends down through the years. Today, we love to see the children who once came to our first café return as adults with their own kids in tow and introduce them to our sweet treat and congenial environment. With your help, we’ll continue building the Duffeyroll brand. We believe in integrity, enthusiasm, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to quality and charity in our community. We sincerely thank our continually growing family of friends and wonderful staff who have helped make The Duffeyroll Café the treasured Colorado tradition it has become.
