The 3 Best Bakeries/Baked Goods Around Glenwood Springs

Fresh-baked goods tend to define a town’s mornings. Whether it’s a quick stop for something sweet or a slower sit-down breakfast, bakeries in the Roaring Fork Valley play a steady role in daily routines. That presence carries into this year’s Locals’ Choice contest from The Post Independent, where scratch baking and consistency often separate the standouts from the rest.

Annie's Cafe & Bakery

Annie’s Cafe & Bakery combines a full breakfast and lunch menu with an in-house bakery focused on small-batch production. Offerings include items such as cinnamon rolls, fruit tarts and cupcakes made from scratch. The space functions as both a sit-down café and a grab-and-go bakery counter. Its approach centers on traditional recipes and a steady, day-to-day presence in downtown Glenwood Springs.

Burning Mountain Pizza & Subs

Burning Mountain Pizza & Subs builds its menu around house-made dough and bread, forming the base for both its pizzas and sandwiches. While primarily a savory operation, its baking process plays a central role in the final product. The focus on fresh dough production supports consistency in texture and flavor across the menu. This approach ties its identity closely to the fundamentals of baking rather than pre-made components.

Sweet Coloradough

Sweet Coloradough specializes in gourmet doughnuts, including yeast and cake varieties along with fritters and breakfast items. The bakery uses ingredients such as premium chocolate, fresh fruit and high-fat butter to shape its products. Its menu often includes rotating flavors and designs, adding variety to its daily lineup. The shop has developed a strong following tied to its focused, doughnut-centered approach.
