I appreciate that they make their pastries, cookies, pies, banana bread, desserts etc from scratch with wholesome, and cleaner ingredients. They usually have one or two gluten free options available. I frequently order the quiche, so good. If they warmed it up in an air fryer that would even make it better, in my opinion. The crust is so good. Service is so lovely no matter if I'm in Florence or Canon city. I would say the ambiance is cozier in Florence. We love the coffee so much we get their espresso beans to use at home. Remember you get what you pay for, check them out, it's worth it.

I visited Westcliffe this weekend and was fortunate to have caught this place before they closed on…read morea Saturday. They close at 2:00 pm on Saturdays so plan accordingly if you want to visit this place on a weekend. Also, they're closed on Sundays! I love how this bakery is owned and run by Mennonites. The young lady who waited on me was very polite. One more thing, they're cash or check only! When I realized they're cash only, the young lady asked if she wanted me to hold the pastry I ordered while I got cash at an ATM. If you don't have cash handy, there is an ATM down the street at a grocery store. It's a Wells Fargo ATM. When I arrived back at the bakery, my pastry was waiting for me, all nicely folded up in a bag. It was well after 2:00 pm so I felt that it was thoughtful of her to keep the business open to complete my order. My original order was a raspberry cheese danish. I also ended up ordering a chocolate peanut brownie. I was also "eyeballing" a tray of their cinnamon rolls. I left after purchasing my two pastries and remembered that they're closed on Sundays so I approached the business again to see if I could order a cinnamon roll to go. The young lady was closing up the business for the day when I approached. I asked if she would mind if I purchased a cinnamon roll to go. She obliged without hesitation. Again, this was so thoughtful and such great customer service. I ate my raspberry cheese danish immediately and was very impressed. I later ate some of my cinnamon roll later then finished the rest in Sunday morning. I also devoured the peanut butter brownie on Sunday morning. What impressed me the most about their pastries is that they're not loaded with too much sugar. I find that many bakeries and grocery store bakeries overload their pastries with too much sugar. They nailed it with the right amount of sugar here. The cinnamon roll was huge. It's probably enough for two people. It's also only under three dollars which is impressive as well. When I return to Westcliffe in a few weeks I will definitely return here. I highly recommend this bakery to support local and for great quality pastries for very reasonable prices. Lastly, they sell various breads and jams. I believe another Yelper wrote that they sell breakfast sandwiches. I will order up when I return again. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

This coffee shop is a perfect example of why we use Yelp. We were on the way to the Royal Gorge…read moreand wanted coffee. Looking at reviews, we decided this was the place. The line of people out the door and the line of vehicles confirmed our choice. We waited in the heat for almost an hour before placing our order. The drinks and food were a great payoff for our patience. While the crew working behind the counter seemed to be efficient, it would have been nice for an employee to step outside to address the crowd during the wait. That said, when we finally ordered, we thought the cashier was friendly and helpful. Prices on drinks and food were reasonable. What did we have? I had the smothered breakfast burrito with green chile. It was flavorful and filling. My traveling partner enjoyed their breakfast sandwich. My black coffee was solid as was my partner's fancy drink. They have limited inside seating; however, their covered outside seating area was ample sized to seat the plethora of customers that morning. In the end, I'd give it a 4.5 if allowed (thanks Yelp). I downgraded to 4 because of the lack of information during the long wait in line.

We can see how a bike shop might be part of future plans, on our visit the shop was mainly a coffee shop, with no obvious work area or really bicycle anything visible.

This seemed to be our forced option, but it turned into a very pleasant surprise. The vibe was great. It was completely empty when we got there. The owner was so kind and incredibly efficient even though a large group came in all at once. She even reminded us to call our moms in honor of Mother's Day. The music isn't too loud, there's a good amount of seating, and there are fun little games you can play if you aren't reading or working. I ordered an Iced Coffee with cream, vanilla, and cinnamon, an everything bagel with cream cheese, and a blueberry muffin. I am unsure if anything was freshly baked in house, but I enjoyed each item that I received. To be fair, I ordered three items that I normally love to eat/drink, but this shop did not let me down with my classics. If you're ever in Westcliffe, give this place a try. (They're open on Sunday when others are not which was so clutch for us).

An overnight trip in Pueblo plus a really bad sweet tooth took me directly to Bite Me Cake, and I'm…read moreglad for it. I am rarely this far south so am unfamiliar with the bakery options around town; Bite Me was one of the closest, highest rated spots right near the hotel I was staying in. The photos and vibe looked really great based on others' reviews, so I decided to stop in late on a Saturday not to get my sugar fix lol. The atmosphere is fun, and the mish mash of sweets, games, and a downstairs bar I think is super unique and also makes this place more appealing for people that want to bring kids around earlier in the day. Despite going late (I think it was around 8?), the arcade was pretty full of people, which was a great sign. The bakery case and menu is at the back, and there was one very sweet girl (no pun intended lol) running the counter. Even for the time, there were lots of options that all looked like they were pretty good and not obviously stale or old from the day which I really appreciated. There is also ice cream and a refrigerator case of goodies in addition to what's shown here, as well as various beverages you can purchase. I decided to splurge on a cherry cupcake, a cheesecake cookie with cherries, and a brookie. The total was around $12 or so, which was pretty reasonable. I took my treats back to the hotel to enjoy them while watching a show, and they were all delicious! Definitely satisfied my craving for something sweet after a long day. I think this place would be very fun for a date night or a small family outing during the day, presuming it's isn't busy inside as it seems like it can easily feel crowded. Parking is available on the street and may be a bit of a challenge depending on the day and time you stop in, but the downtown area is pretty walkable and more parking accommodations can be found further away. Stop in if you get a chance! I probably will next time I'm in town.
