It's my father in laws birthday, and he has to celebrate it in a hotel because he's been evacuated from the Cameron Peak fire. I want to thank Natalie and Katie for their help selecting the perfect pie, delivering it to the hotel where he is evacuated, and helping me leave this little note. It says "happy birthday! We aren't giving you a cake with candles because you've had enough fire, so here's a pie!" Reports are that it is delicious! read more

Just poor. Service was terrible, drinks were bad, food had no flavor and if our server had ever bothered to ask how our meal was we would have sent it back. read more

Passed by last time I visited Fort Collins and didn't have the chance to stop in. This trip, I am glad I did! We ate in the market place area due to last minute reservations. If you want to sit in the restaurant make sure to reserve in advance. We were contemplating eating upstairs at Cache but it was closed. Call to find out the days and hours open. I ordered the salmon and risotto and my daughter ordered the vegetable Mac & cheese. Dessert was a slice of coconut creme and a slice of chocolate to go! My only regret was ordering an Irish coffee without asking the cost. We were billed $20.00 for two. Just a bit higher than we'd pay elsewhere. Prices on food were high but worth it!

The food was absolutely horrible! Have been at the Cache four times; twice was good, twice was no good. This time we (6 adults) spent, with tip, $825. That is a lot of money and warrants a delicious meal. It wasn't. The steaks were so salty, they could barely be swallowed. Salt is great for flavoring & tenderizing, but this was like the salt was the main meal, with a little steak thrown in. The ambiance is very nice, the service was great. Food -- no good! There are several much better restaurants in Fort Collins. Less expensive too read more

I met a colleague for lunch at Ginger & Baker today. I've been to a private function here before and this was my first meal in the cafe. It's a very light and bright and sophisticated setting with a friendly staff We ordered a biscuit Benedict with ham and a vegetable pot pie. The pot pie was a gorgeous and perfect presentation which I instantly regretted not ordering. My Benedict looked like a mess and tasted great! Our service was impeccable and the experience was fun and interesting if not "knock your socks off" amazing. Now, we didn't order any pie (of course the pot pie is pie) and I'm pretty sure if we had; our experience would have been elevated to that level! read more

So after reading a few of the reviews I was iffy to come and give this place a try. I am so happy I ignored the negative reviews and came anyway. Everything we had was delicious! My husband had the farmhouse skillet and I had the biscuits and gravy. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Our waitress was super sweet and very attentive to our needs. I must say the chai tea latte may have been the best chai tea latte I have ever had. I get it, everywhere can have an off day, but today they were on and I am so excited to come here again and hopefully bring my family with me next time! So before you read the negative reviews and walk away from trying this place, I highly recommend you come and give it a try for yourself! read more

I visited this restaurant just because I wanted to try their Popsicle cocktails and I'm very dissapointed. Really bad service from the host located on the first floor and also bad service from the waitress at the patio area. the Popsicle itself was really good but the drink was not. read more

5 stars for customer service, specifically from Rachel, the head baker! We had issues with two previous pies we ordered and took home for parties, I wrote an email to Rachel and she went above and beyond in making everything right! Her correspondence over email was quick and thoughtful. She had us try another pie (on the house) and it was just wonderful!! The lemon pie can't be beat! Thank you, Rachel for your excellent baking skills and even better customer service- we will be back soon! read more

Came in for a weekday lunch when the weather was nice. The hostess station is outside, though it looks like it's not always attended to. She brought us in to seat us (while respecting covid guidelines) in their main restaurant area. The open doors and windows made it feel like we were sitting outside without the hot sun beating down on us, this was most definitely appreciated. The menu comes out like a cute little newspaper with some stories and historic facts on Fort Collins. Their lunch and breakfast menu have very good and flavorful looking options. As I was only visiting my hometown and missed green chili, I obviously had to go for the green chili smothered fries. They came out DELISH, that green chili was flavorful, not super spicy, and had chunks of goodness throughout. Definitely a big fan, this is the lunch of champions. I also ordered the iced vanilla rose latte, unfortunately they were out of rose that day and ended up replacing it with lavender. The iced latte was well balanced, the lavender flavor was somewhat understated, but I overall loved that it wasn't too sweet. The staff was friendly, though they may have been spread a bit thin that day since it took awhile to get to even order. Overall a nice addition to the downtown area with flavorful offerings and a lovely ambience! read more

I knew I was going to love this place from the moment I pulled up. A beautiful historic building, lots of patio seating (with a dog- friendly section), a lovely boutique, and a tempting bakery are just a few of Ginger and Baker's boasts. Their menu was diverse, with lots of choices for anyone. My one critique of the menu is that it wasn't super gluten- free friendly (it listed gluten-free bread as a side, but no other gluten- free options were indicated). Our server was very helpful, however, and directed me to a gluten-free option that was excellent. I ordered the Quinoa Stuffed Poblano, and it was fresh, beautiful, and delicious (see photo!). The Chicken Pot Pie was another favorite item ordered by my table. We had a great experience here, and would have loved to try some of their baked goods. I guess we will have to come back! read more

The food here is amazing. I had the silver dollar pancakes, and they had my taste buds dancing. My partner had the turkey Pesto sammich, which was also a big, well made, tasty sandwich. Best sammich she ever had, so she says. The pie here is to die for the and ambiance is wonderful. Unfortunately the service was a little lacking, it took 15 minutes to get butter for our fresh pancakes and 15 more to get the check. read more

I've eaten here, attending patio events put on by the restaurant, & taken a cooking class. All have been so fun! The food was great, we had one appetizer come out not quite right, and management cared and took care of it quickly. The patio even was a flower crown making event for you and your dog. It was completely free. You even got free access to the photos that were taken by a local professional after they were edited. I actually ran into the photographer later, and now we're getting together to get a matching portrait of my other dog. The cooking class was the best! Chef Deb is hilarious and fun!!! The food we made was delicious! You get a complimentary drink from the bar at the beginning and the recipes at the end. I KNOW HOW TO MAKE SOFT PRETZELS NOW!! I'm going to get so happy fat!!!! read more

This place is my new FAVORITE restaurant! I love it so much. Everyone was so nice and helpful the food was delicious, and the atmosphere/ambiance was very much my style. My parents came here and then encouraged me to go too. I went with a co worker, both of us fell in love. I am now requesting this place for my Birthday dinner. I ordered a Carmel Apple Cider that was to die for, appetizer was some kind of seasonal Asiago dip which was out of this world, and then I had a Reuben sandwich which I could not even finish because I was so full at this point. I highly recommend this little place. We ate in the Ginger and Baker part but I can't wait to try the Cache. Please.... ignore the bad reviews and try this place out for yourself. read more

My sister and I had a great evening at Ginger and Baker. We were able to sit out on the patio. We were able to sit out on the patio and it was perfect. We enjoyed green bean fries to share (yum!!), citrus salad, the Reuben (just eh), and the chicken pot pie. The chicken pot pie was great. Definitely a large portion. I will be eating my second half tomorrow for lunch :). The coconut cream pie was also fantastic! Big enough serving to share as well. read more

We arrived at possibly the least busiest time of day, the restaurant was completely empty, yet we still had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. When we finally got to our table, we looked through the most boring menu I have possibly EVER seen, they had listed one menu item twice (probably to fill in some empty space or they simply just ran out of ideas altogether). I mean, the menu for dogs was more interesting than the one for humans. Anyway, we ordered, and waited what felt like an eternity for our food. I'd also like to note that there were 3 servers working in the entire restaurant and they kept running around and apologizing for the kitchen being backed up. Anyway, when we finally got our food, there was a hair in my salad! Right out in the open, I can't believe they didn't see it before they brought it out. When I told the food runner about this, she was incredibly annoyed like it was our fault there was a hair. Anyway, it sucked. Never again! read more

I wish I could give a better review, my first time at this establishment. My boyfriend took me to this bakery and restaurant on a Saturday morning. Hoping to just grab a coffee and go, but as we were looking over the menu at the register the clerk/bartender convinced us to sit down. Per her instruction we went back to the hostess stand by the front doors and asked to be sat at a table in the same room. Initially we order our drinks and looked over the menu's, I was going back and forth over the caprese avocado toast or Boston cream French toast but decided on the caprese with an additional side of scrambled eggs. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken biscuit. The food came out separate, him getting his fried chicken biscuit several minutes before my toast but the food runner assured us that my plate would be out soon. This wasn't an issue for me. When my plate arrived, I could visibly see that the avocado spread had spoiled, it was a darkish grey color and looked like it had sat out overnight. But I decided to test it anyways because sometimes avocado looks this way and is still edible. I was disappointed, the avocado not only tasted spoiled but it seemed as though they tried to mask the taste with loads of lemon juice. It just wasn't good and having only taken one bite I decided to send it back. Something I dont like to do. I told our waitress when she came back over to check on us. She made a concerned face to one of her coworkers but then came back with a comped certificate that said our next visit we would be able to get a slice of pie on them. Unfortunately when the bill came I realized that the pie wasn't a comp as she had still included my 17 dollar avocado toast on the bill. I tired to ask why it wasn't still on the bill and our waitress became very rude, responding that that was what the free slice of pie was for. I didn't want to say any more but was very upset as the pie prices are far less than my meal was and I realized she was being greedy and difficult. The value of the comped pie was less than the value of my inedible meal, my boyfriend was also disappointed but more modest than I was decided to just pay for the experience and we left. I won't be coming back as this whole transaction left such a bad taste in my mouth. Outside of the poor food and service, the ambience was nice and I was really excited to come and try this place, but unfortunately the way we were treated was just unacceptable. read more

Had lunch Here last week. Have been coming to foco for years each summer and this place always looks yummy. In fact, their ginger key lime and banana crepe pies are excellent although the white chocolate shavings on the banana crème pie detract from the banana flavor...once you scrape those off you have a scrumptious pie. But lunch was a disappointment. First of all, very little for a vegetarian to eat here...now I knew that going in, but these days you might think they would have a better selection. I had the strawberry and watermelon salad. Hardly any feta or strawberries and a portion that was not worth its $13 price tag. My friend had the fish tacos. They came with a mountain of rice that was so bland she had to ask for hot sauce to flavor it. She said Illegal Pete had better tacos. Service was fine if a bit slow. We shared carrot cake for dessert. Copious amounts of a yummy cream cheese frosting coated a rather dry cake .... Pineapples anyone? I can highly recommend the pies but there are far better places to spend your money in foco. I read more

We love Ginger and Baker! My daughter lives two short blocks from this place and it's always a treat for us to go to it ehen we visit her! The food is always delish, staff is the kindest, the store is adorable + the sweet treats are a must! The owner is the kindest and even helped my daughter on a day they were closed to help collect her car from the locked lot across the street. Definitely put this adorable restaurant on your list when you go to Foco! read more

Have you ever watched Cake Wars? Bakers make these elaborately beautiful cakes. No one cares about how it tastes, just if it looks good. Which is exactly how Ginger and Baker functions. It looks amazing. But everything else, is pretty underwhelming. There are about 10 baristas, who god bless them, try hard, but I don't think they've had any training. I've been there twice and each time the macchiato came in a 8oz to go cup, which is way too big. (unless you like Starbucks macchiatos.) The cafe uses disposable cups and containers for everything, which is a real shame. I hate to see so much unnecessary waste. Bought a child sized portion of pie for $6 and it too came in a plastic to go container. But why tho...? All in all, super unimpressed with food, service and coffee. But you know, it looks hip as fuck. The Cache was OK. Over priced for what it is...I wouldn't go back. If you want similar quality food at 1/4 the cost, go to The Mainline. read more

I have eaten in the regular restaurant several times and it's always delicious, especially the chicken pot pie and the chocolate pie shake. This last time we dined upstairs in more upscale The Cache to celebrate my son's graduation. Everything we ordered was delicious and service was top-notch. They never made us feel rushed. We were all so full, but just had to go downstairs and get pie shakes to split and share, and we enjoyed looking at the cute and unique items in the little gift shop while they were being made. We'll be back again and again. read more

Very rude server. I really wanted to like this restaurant. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were all so nice and attentive. We ordered 2 cocktails and, being 25 and looking young, were ID'd by the bartender, which was understandable and we had no issues. But when the server is bringing our cocktails over, she stops at our table and looks us dead in the eye and goes "Nope" and turns her back to us and walk away. The bartender goes "hey those are for table 6!" And the server looks at us with the rudest glare and goes "no that's table 6" as if dismayed that we ordered the cocktails. The bartender says that she already ID's us and that we are of age, and the server walks over and slams the drinks down and walks away without a word. Frankly, we were in disbelief at the rudeness of this worker. We felt completely unwelcome after this and it didn't help that our 2 sandwiches took 45 minutes to get delivered. However, the food really was delicious and other staff members repeatedly checked in on us, almost as if they were apologizing for the servers audacious behavior. Will not return and would strongly recommend other young people not to order alcohol here. read more

The Cache. I like their creative drink menu a lot. Great wine selection. If you are a Cabernet Sauvignon lover, You will enjoy " St. Supery" spice forward elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. Food tasted fine but protein was bit dry and needs refinement. Mashed potato and garnish was not warm enough to go with the main ingredient. read more

Recently tried The Cache restaurant for the fist time. ambiance was wonderful, food was not and certainly did not match the pricing; ordered filet with craw fish cakes. The filet was average and very salty. The crawfish cakes was a huge disappointment, hardly any meat and tasted like we ate oil soaked breadcrumbs. Another person ordered Filet with hand cut fries for a side and they tasted and looked like frozen heat and go fries very bland. If the cache can get the quality of their food up without cutting corners this would be an automatic do over for us! Until then we will pass read more

Took 20 minutes to get coffee and even longer for our server to take our order. I got the eggs Benedict and my eggs were over cooked, not a lot of hollandaise sauce, and potatoes not extra crispy. It shouldn't take 90 minutes to have breakfast from the time of sitting. My friends say the food here is normally much better. read more

We had a great experience at Ginger and Baker. We had to wait awhile for a table and service was slow but the food was worth it! The chicken pot pie was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The avocado toast was also very tasty! We took pie to go and by the time we ate it later in the day, it was a soggy mess. The apple pie crust was so soggy it was like it turned back into dough. I also didn't love the strong clove/cardamom flavor. Would definitely come back and skip dessert or eat it there. read more

Cache Ambiance is great but that was the best part. Non of the food impresses -prime rib was very chewy, portabella fries were tasteless.

Service is great. Restaurant is super cute and loved the idea of using local ingredients. Very dog friendly and my dogs loved their food for them. Food was good but could be better. For example, I ordered fried chicken. The chicken was great but the side of Brussels sprouts needed some sauce like balsamic and mashed potato was bit dry too could use gravy or something. Overall it was good experience. read more

Wow. This place was fantastic. I came for a group event upstairs, held in an exposed brick, hardwood floor room which was apparently in the same building as an old feed stall area. The owner (you guessed it: Ginger) explained that she initially wanted a full service restaurant/kitchen in the area, but due to its historic nature, such significant renovations were not possible. Maybe a blessing in disguise because the old feel of the place was very cool. The owner walked us through her vision of originally just opening a small pie shop and how everything just grew from there: a full service restaurant, bakery, cooking school, retail - the place is not very grandiose or impressive, but has maintained its historic charm. The intent originally being just for pies, yes... they do pies very well. Don't judge... but I tried at least three of them. Lemon merengue, cherry and apple. All tasted straight from your grandma's kitchen (that is if your grandma is Julia Child... and a little less... 'southern'). Be sure to order ahead if you want a full pie, these things aren't just being defrosted in an oven, they are making them fresh. I got the sense the owner was just living her dream by opening this place, and the attention to detail and quality shows it. Thanks! read more
