My Favorite Northern Colorado Pastries That Are Worth The Carbs

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That's what I've always heard, at least. But sometimes a huge trucker breakfast just isn't doable, and I need something on the go that I actually like.

That's why breakfast pastries are always a hit. But where can you find the freshest pastries in Northern Colorado? Let's break it down.

Fort Collins

I really do try to stay in the eating clean lane, but we live in a world with the Silver Grill Cafe, and they make the world's best cinnamon rolls. I know I started this article by talking about skipping a big, heavy breakfast, but just stick with me on this.

Not only are these massive cinnamon rolls made fresh daily, and boy can you tell. But you can preorder for pickup to enjoy alone in your bed while watching reality TV. That alone sells me.

After being in business in Downtown Fort Collins for literal decades, The Silver Grill Cafe has it dialed in.

Loveland

Loveland is the home of some pretty delicious bakeries, so picking just one was tough. But I can't resist a good Czech pastry. Just A Pinch Bakery is family-owned and operated, and they offer something you can't find anywhere else. Kolaches are soft-filled pastries that are a must-try.

You can visit Just A Pinch Bakery for breakfast, or order some desserts ahead to enjoy at home, in bed watching reality TV.

Greeley

Rise and Pies is a local favorite, and it isn't hard to tell why once you've had their sweets. Made with local ingredients, they not only sell pies but also sourdough and other pastries.

Because there's always room for pie, in bed, watching reality TV.
