Ginger and Baker

Ginger and Baker is in a grain mill that has been a Fort Collins landmark for more than 100 years and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the building holds a market and bakery, a café, a glass-enclosed rooftop patio, The Cache steakhouse, and a teaching kitchen that runs cooking and baking classes.

Pie is the focus at the bakery counter. It's almost always made by hand with seasonal ingredients, and it sits alongside breads and pastries. The café serves all-day breakfast and comfort food. The market and bakery open at 7 a.m. every day, so it works for an early coffee and a slice to go. Even the phone number spells it out: 970-223-PIES.
