We really enjoyed Ginger and Baker! The menu reads well. I had the chicken pot pie. It comes with a salad and it was SO good! My daughter had the chicken tenders and fruit cup. The chicken tenders weren't just out-of-the box frozen. They were freshly made. I can't say enough good things about the service! Our waitress was SO good and patient with my girls. She interacted with them too. The restaurant had a nice vibe and was very inviting. read more

I am a meatloaf fan and have never found a restaurant that makes good meatloaf...until now. In my book, if a restaurant can get a basic like meatloaf right, they know how to cook! The mashed potatoes were equally as good! My husband got the Reuben and gave it high honors. Ginger and Baker is a cool place, with its restaurants, gift shop and cooking classes. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a glass of wine with our meal. We finished it off with a couple pieces of pie and coffee. The coconut cream filling in the pie was really good unfortunately we found the crust tasteless and chewy. The banana cream was ok but tasted less like banana and more like white chocolate. All in all it was a great experience and if we are in the area again would definitely go back! read more

Food was delicious and and felt homemade. server was friendly and so were the baristas. Inside felt very fancy in a comfortable way. Would come back again! read more

I am a big fan of a restaurant that triples into my favorite things. It's very uncommon to find but Ginger and Baker has managed to wrap up being a bakery, a restaurant, and a boutique all in one. On top of offering cooking classes to the public. This restaurant is amazing. Great service and great staff and really great food. The quality of their food is farm to table with menu items that change out with the seasons. Their coffee is liquid heaven that touches the insides of the soul. And their fresh baked pies are so delicious, they make them into smoothies too. Not convinced to try this place? Well let me add, they also have home made dog food bowls to go and doggie treats for your best furry friend. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Always great food. I have eaten here several times over the last 4 years and the food has always been outstanding.

As it's known for it, I had to get the Chicken Pot Pie and my fiancé got the French Dip. Both of us had the side salad with their basalmic dressing. I don't typically have many expectations for dishes like Chicken Pot Pie from a restaurant. It's not an overly difficult dish to make, there's only a handful of ingredients and either you can make it well, it or it's edible. Rarely can you mess it up too badly and even less rare, can you make something that is absolutely phenomenal and goes directly to the top of my "must have every single time" list. I was blown away from the first bite! From its flakiness, to the flavour and its density; the crust was perfect! Then moving to the inside each bite had the perfect amount of chicken and gravy and the flavour of everything was amazing. Every bite of the dish worked together excellently! I rarely order French Dips at restaurants. I am more often than not, disappointed. Bread of some sort (often french bread), meat of sort (usually shaved ribeye or roast beef), cheese of some sort, occasionally onions and lastly the au jus, are typically the ingredients that make up a French Dip. While not overly complicated ingredients, I usually find these get messed up more often than not. You can have one, two, three, or four things all done well, and then the fifth doesn't turn out well, or any mix and match combo of those numbers. The bread might be too thick and not enough ingredients with it, or the meat is entirely too dry, or the au jus is just a watery, flavourless dip. I've never found a French Dip that impressed me; until tonight! The French Bread was very well done. It didn't just crumble as soon as you took a bite or dipped it into the au jus. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, had amazing flavour and was juicy throughout. Each bite had the perfect layer or bread, meat and cheese. And the au jus! Wow! It's the first time I've ever came across a gravy style au jus for French Dip and let me just say again, WOW! It tied the sandwich together perfectly! If I go back and don't get the Chicken Pot Pie, I will easily get the French Dip! Lastly, the side salad and the house basalmic dressing... Like our other two dishes, this one also was excellent! The salad was fresh, had a great balance of ingredients and the dressing was phenomenal! Be warned, a little goes a LONG way! The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. Lighting was good, flow was nice. Felt a little tight as I had to squeeze past some tables and the bar when I got seated and was leaving, but otherwise not bad. It is VERY RARE I give 5 stars, and tonight is no exception. The meal itself I'd easily give 5 stars to, but the service gets a few dings, so I can't give Ginger and Baker 5 stars, but a very close 4.8 stars. Overall, we'd both easily highly recommend this place if you still haven't been, and I have no doubt we both will go back again! My dings for service were easy things. A customers water / drink should NEVER be empty. EVER. Even if you're getting the bill, one should be asked if they want more water. Mine sat empty twice. The second time it didn't even get filled. This is hands down my biggest pet peeve at a restaurant. Next, ALWAYS ask if they want desert, especially if you make killer deserts!! Pie here was $7 + $2 for ice cream = $9. Dinner was $42. 20% on $42 = $8 give or take. 20% on 51 = $10. $2 extra per table. It's not a ton, but it all adds up. Upsell, upsell, upsell! For our server: WE WANTED desert! We had never been here and it immediately stood out to us but you immediately dropped off the check. No check in, no question if we wanted anything else. Check and left my water empty. Left a very bad taste in my mouth after a previously amazing dinner. read more

Amazing service had a table of 4 around 7:30 on a Saturday night and was quickly seated, The espresso martinis were a bit sweet and had added dairy. The Mac n cheese with bacon was absolutely to die for and we enjoyed leftovers the next day. I ordered the roast beef and aus ju sandwich and it was perfect. The bread was perfect soft and moist, beef sliced thinly with seasoned onions.garlic Parmesan fries were a must and made it an excellent meal read more

Can't talk highly enough about this restaurant, our FAVORITE place to go. Ambiance is beautiful, classy but not stuffy. Food is seriously the best, from scratch, home style cooking with some class, the chefs are amazing and the menu changes with the season. Pot pie is one of my favorites, and the Mac-N-Cheese is to die for. Staff if top notch, make it a point to know your name and make you feel comfortable and at home. The bartenders are the best in town, let them make you a custom cocktail to your liking! The owner (Ginger) is always around and one of the good ones, always helping and making sure things are always perfect. Visit if you get the chance. read more

This is a yes and no review. We ate here and got bread and pasteries 4 out of our 7 days on vacation, which were fantastic. Unfortunately our last purchase was not good. Came in Tuesday morning for baguette and sour dough loaf,asked if it was fresh and was reassured that it was. Totally not true. Stale as a piece of cardboard. Very unprofessional for such an outstanding bakery and restaurant. Truly a shame to ruin such good will read more

terrible service. food was the most bland we had ever tasted... so bad that we didn't finish eatting. too many dogs- 8 dogs in a very small outdoor "porch" where everyone was sitting shoulder to shoulder. DO NOT waste your time or money. read more

I'm in absolute shock that this place isn't a 5 star across the board. We stumbled into this place one morning and it was the best experience. While we were waiting for our table we got to explore the adorable little gift shop!!! I love how it was decorated for fall!!! When we got to order my husband got the best coconut chai he's ever had. I got the breakfast skillet and it had such unique flavors in every bite. Very good combination of spices. Do NOT skip on the biscuits as your option for bread!! Oh my gosh they were so fluffy and I got a side of butter and jam with them!!! SO GOOD!!!!!! Overall the food was phenomenal and the ambiance was amazing! read more

I love Ginger & Baker! Not only does the atmosphere give off an ambient warmth throughout the establishment, but so does the staff. I can tell whenever I come in that people are happy to work here. From great interior designs to the holiday touches, this restaurant is such a nice place to have a quiet, QUALITY meal. It may be expensive, but you are paying for the farm to table ingredients and 5 star service. I will continue to come back until I'm dead. read more

Delicious coconut cream pie. Cute shop with gifts and great food choices. S'mores pie was good too!

Ginger and Baker is a welcoming surprise. It is not just a great place to grab breakfast. Starting with the Cafe, they have indoor and outdoor dining. The patio is dog friendly, and they also offer a dog menu for your fur baby. In the evening they have The Cache. This restaurant is upstairs and has indoor/outdoor dining with a glassed in wall to view Fort Collins. Upon arriving at Ginger and Baker, we checked in with the host. We were told it was approximately a 25 minute wait. There was plenty to see while we waited. Inside there is a gift store, full of housewares, decorations, and toys. There is also a bakery, where you can buy pies, baked goods, and more! I noticed a chalk board with a schedule for their in house teaching kitchen. The chef came out and greeted me, telling me all about the place. She told me there is even a wine cellar downstairs that we can go look at. So of course we took a peek! When we were called to sit to eat, our waitress was Calista. She was great! I ordered the blueberry pancakes (not pictured). They were delicious! The pancake batter has a perfect amount of sweetness and they were fluffy. The blueberries tasted fresh, they had the perfect ratio of sweet and tart. We definitely enjoyed our time here. More than likely will return, definitely want to eat at The Cache next time. Also, there is a fenced in lot across the street for parking for this establishment. You can get your parking validated as well. read more

since our initial visit we have returned several times to grab coffee/a sweet treat and to dine in the cafe and the cache...every time was amazing. Do not miss out on the triple coconut pie or the pecan roll, and the mac and cheese and the chicken pot pie are to die for oh, and the truffle tots made me speechless (for a minute lol)....long story short go and then go again to try anything you might have missed!!! read more

Like a well-oiled machine, Ginger and Baker functions well on every level.

My wife and I shared the salmon with fried gnocchi and the vegetarian lasagna. Those were okay. Then we spent the night with stomach cramps. That wasn't okay.

The food was amazing, but the service was abysmal. We sat at the counter in the bakery. It was busy so we gave them some grace. But after about 25 minutes, we asked if we could order. They literal walked past us over and over and ignored us. The busy ended and we were the only ones at the counter. We still had to ask to order a piece of pie, then after being totally ignored, we finally asked for our check. So disappointing. Service was terrible. read more

Ginger and Baker - Meatloaf, market salad and a biscuit. - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I've been coming to Ginger & Baker for years and am yet to have a bad experience. From the moment you walk in the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience special. The food is insanely good. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The brunch menu is killer and the bakery items and take & bake options are just as good. If I'm in Fort Collins I make it a point to stop in for at the very least a life-changing slice of pie or a to-die-for take & bake chicken pot pie. Since its opening, this place has consistently impressed me and has me considering embarking on the hour-long drive for a slice of coconut cream as I write this. Ginger & Baker also has the cutest little shop attached to the cafe bakery with seasonal gifts and goodies. This place seriously has my heart! read more

Took my husband to lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant is really fun place. There is the bar area , inside and outside seating. A retail store on the side as well as seating in that area to have pastries, coffee and snack that they make. Pies look great! We ordered the arugula and strawberry salad with candied pecans 13.00. Added protein was 10.00. It was a good salad but not a 23.00 salad. My husband had the French dip sandwich. Unfortunately, it was not great. For 20.00 there should have been a decent amount of meat...... there was not. The meat was so scarce that the bread/ bun made up most of the sandwich. The au jus had a strange flavor.... very herb heavy, not the flavor usually associated with a french dip. It was very disappointing. Our service was ok. Felt like we got lost a bit in the service area. We waited an exceptionally long time for our salad and sandwich..... about 35 -40 min. We ordered and 4 groups were seated after us and each table received their food before we did. We actually had to ask about when we would be getting our order. That coupled with sandwich "miss" made it hard to overlook. The fries were great and we did order the mushroom flatbread which was also very good. I really like the place and what they do , the desserts look fabulous , the store is fun but I think the serving and food areas could use a little work and the experience would be much more enjoyable. read more

All we can say is, if you find yourself in Fort Collins on any day other than a Moday, Ginger and Baker is an absolute must. Not only was the service 4 star thanks to our new friend Lauren, but the food was spot on. So much so that we returned that evening for dinner at Cache and again were equally impressed. And yes, we returned the next morning for breakfast. Lauren, our newly adopted daughter, introduced us to Chef Deb, Executive Chef, and tour guide. Got the history of the place and people that brought it to life, and once again had an incredible gastronomic affair... Please visit, enjoy, and thank them all. Happy Dinning, The Biggers Family..... read more

Ginger and Baker was recommended to me by a friend who visited a few months before. Wow, was she spot on with her recommendation! It has a modern farmhouse vibe (think Chip and Joanna Gaines), not only was the food delicious and the service great but they have a shop, bakery and area of cooking classes. If I lived in Fort Collins, I would definitely frequent Ginger and Baker. My husband and I split the breakfast burrito and a cinnamon roll since the burrito is so large. We were glad that we did! The pork inside the burrito was devine, tender and juicy. Next time I would ask for salsa that is on top to be on the side and extra green Chile cheese on top. I had an iced coconut chai and my husband had a Bloody Mary. We both enjoyed our beverages. Personally, I felt the Bloody Mary had too much horseradish. The cinnamon roll didn't have much cinnamon in it, so I wouldn't recommend it. Highly recommend stopping in even just to look around the shop and grab a pastry to go. It's in. What seems to be a newer area of town and walking distance to a distillery and New Belgium brewery so, plenty of places to check out around it. read more

Picked up a lemon meringue pie for my mom's birthday. And it was the best I've ever had! Can't speak to restaurant.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! First time here, and yes there is LOVE at first site! From their funny fall prop at the front to when you walk inside their doors, you are surrounded by lovely and sights and delicious smells. The entire interior is FABULOUS!

We wanted to experience it all, drinks, soup, dinner and dessert. read more

Ambiance is beautiful and that's where it stops for me. Staff is totally lethargic, like they're too cool to be there give you the time of day. Staff told me to hit 4 on the credit card machine, which was the highest tip, as of it were a mandatory requirement to make transaction occur. Patio is dog friendly but hard to maneuver through all the tables and chairs. Only one gluten free and vegan item on the menu. This is Fort Collins, I would think this place would be a bit more liberal accommodating. The blueberry streusel was bland, crust gritty and too hard. Sad expensive disappointment. read more

I love the pot pie and blue cheese dressing here so much, but the way the restaurant is set up and run, the service is never very good. We would come here more often if we knew we would have a chance at getting good service. The servers in the bar seem to try harder, but they have to run around because of the set up. The servers in the cafe just seem slow to me. I really think your profits would go up if you had someone come in and show you how to make things more efficient. On top of everything, our waiter had to stand and fill each water glass at a container with a slow spicket. Ridiculous. Someone with management skills needs to be consulted!! read more

I could leave a review regarding their Coconut Cream Pie alone. You should have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It is the best coconut cream pie I have ever had grace my tastebuds. On one occasion I got to watch them make it and have a table side seat to ask questions, with which they willingly gave answers. Their lunch is solid all around good burgers, great Reuben, excellent zucchini fries and service which is above and beyond the typical Colorado norm. But the coconut cream pie is that which dreams are made of. I could bathe in it. If I were on death row, a whole one would be in order for last meal. I heard it was even served at the last supper. I will drive 20 miles just for that pie, I will rearrange my day for that pie, I will forever be in search of something better. read more

1. I hated their rule of getting a credit card for reservation... i.e., $25.00 per person. 2. This one really got to me of owners charging some additional 4% (some made up junk fees) to the total. We will NEVER patronize this location again. 3. Service was okay, but nothing spectacular for fine dining. 4. Same with food. In my opinion, sides are superbly overpriced. read more

Really nice job of remodeling an old building into a restaurant and bar. Food was quite good, and service was good. Only downer was the French Dip which came with cheese on it. Much more like a Philly Cheese Steak than a French Dip, and I have never liked a cheese steak sandwich. The au jus was a bit off too. Almost forgot, they add a compulsory tip to your bill for the kitchen staff. read more
