Retreat Bakery Bar
2601 S Lemay Ave, Fort Collins, CO
Crema's Take
“This cozy Fort Collins cornerstone excels at the art of slowing down, where generously poured traditional coffee drinks pair beautifully with house-made pastries and stellar breakfast sandwiches that locals rave about as the best biscuits and gravy in town. The inviting atmosphere draws everyone from solo coffee contemplators to friend groups and families, with staff who genuinely go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed. It's the kind of place that becomes a heart-holder rather than a quick stop—a true neighborhood gem worth stumbling upon.”

A truly wonderful establishment that had held a special place in my heart for many years. From a special occasion, to just meeting friends, Retreat Bakery Bar's sweet treats and generous pours are always welcome and pleasant. Staff are so kind and its such a local gem.
I have been going here for a few months now and their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are amazing! Today they went above and beyond when I accidentally showed up before they were open and started browsing their pastry counter. Before I even realized they weren’t officially open they offered to make my order. Definitely did not need to do that and they were so kind. 100% recommend this place! Also, sandwich was perfect.
This is one of those places I just happened to stumble upon and oh man, I’m so happy that I did! I got the biscuit breakfast sandwich (phenomenal!) and a tea latte with the waffle sauce tea. You guys totally have to try that!! It’s like a cozy maple hug in a cup lol And the pastries?! Omg they are just perfection! I’m excited to come back and try more :)
One of my favorites spots in Fort Collins! The coffee is terrific, the atmosphere is inviting and the food is out of this world! The biscuits and gravy are the best in town. My hack is to get a bacon, egg & cheesed biscuit sandwich with a side of gravy…it is so filling and satisfying. The sweet treats are always excellent!
Retreat is a cozy little bakery tucked in the corner. The desserts and coffee were delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer!
