    what is there to say about this place?…read more i personally have never eaten anything here EXCEPT their bakery goods which were superb, best in town, hands down. Every morning they seem to have a wide selection of freshly baked pastries, good coffee, big smiles and a beautiful building. I have seen their breakfasts being delivered to tables and can say they look delicious but a big breakfast sends me straight back to bed... When i am in town.. i stop here every single time, always, without fail.

    May 2026 My wife and…read moreI were visiting Durango for a few days. She took the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to Silverton, but unfortunately I wasn't able to go because of a medical condition that prevents me from traveling to high altitudes, and the train climbs to around 10,000 feet. After she left on her adventure, I decided to find some breakfast. While I was walking around town, my aunt called. She and my uncle used to vacation in Ouray every year, so she knows the area well. She recommended Jean-Pierre Bakery, so that's where I headed. I was seated right away and ordered a coffee while I looked over the menu. My waitress was very friendly, and we chatted for a while. She even recommended a few places around town that I should check out. I finally decided on the Croque Monsieur (brioche, béchamel, ham, and Swiss cheese) served with a salad. When my meal arrived, it looked fantastic. The sandwich was delicious, rich, and full of flavor. It was my first time trying a Croque Monsieur, and I really enjoyed it. The salad was fresh and crisp, and the vinaigrette paired perfectly with it. After finishing my meal, I couldn't resist ordering a pistachio cream-filled éclair that had caught my eye when I first walked in. It looked beautiful, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The pastry was very dry, and the bottom was quite hard. It definitely didn't taste freshly made. The pistachio cream had a nice flavor, but there wasn't very much of it. I mentioned my concerns to my server, and she kindly brought me a chocolate éclair to try instead. It also looked wonderful, but it had the same problem. The pastry tasted old, almost like it had been sitting for a couple of days. I would absolutely return for another Croque Monsieur or to try something else from the breakfast or lunch menu because that part of the meal was excellent. As for the pastries, they certainly look beautiful, but based on my experience, I would probably pass on them next time. This would have been a solid 4 star if those eclair had of been good.

The menu is bizarre at best. I guess beautiful people like this. Food is yuck. The owner is very bizarre. She brings illegals in from Mexico . Spoils them treats them like they re her children The few locals she does hires she treats like crap. She forgets to pay them . If they quit. With out notice She refuses to pay by them . Quite often the police are involved.

    I was so excited to try this restaurant after our friends recommended it and said they had tons of…read morevegetarian options, but unfortunately this was a miss for us. I was at first thrown off by the reminder we got from OpenTable confirming our reservation, noting that the dress code was "business casual". Imagine my surprise when we pulled up to a tiny indistinguishable strip where the restaurant was located - definitely not the "business casual" vibes I was anticipating. We were greeted at the door by the waiter and another couple who was asked if they had a reservation - they said no, to which the waiter said "we'll see what we can do" to a 1/3 occupied restaurant at 6:30 on a Saturday. Should have been our first clue. Our table was all set up and ready for us and we were seated immediately. I was again turned off by the price of over $10 per mocktail - I understand fresh, but at that price it's robbery. We got the rosemary fries and the blooming onion to start - the honey sriracha sauce that accompanied the fries was tasty, and the other people in my party enjoyed the basil ranch. The blooming onion was pretty, but extremely messy and hard to eat. Scanning the menu and noting that even the vegetarian entree was over $40 a plate, I was not blown away by any of the options. I settled on the $18 tomato Gorgonzola bisque which was okay but not worth the price. The others in my party got the crispy gnocchi (didn't like), the pad Thai (hard pass), and the lamb burger (enjoyed, but felt the price was still steep). Also if you look at the small print on the menu you'll see that they charge $8 extra for split plates - so basically this place just loves charging the s*** out of their customers for subpar food. We were all looking forward to the beignets, but learned that they got rid of their dessert menu (all desserts are now in the front cases) and no longer had them. We settled on the butterscotch carrot cookie, the carrot cake cupcake, and the mint chocolate cookie. The cookies were huge and fairly priced at $3.25 a piece, but the cupcake was $10. Honestly I would recommend you save your money and go somewhere else. If the prices were even half of what they currently charge I would consider it "decent" but definitely not at their current price. This place spends almost too much time on their presentation and not enough on quality food - for example see how gaudy of a vessel my soup was served in. Hard to eat with it being that high, and overall just unnecessary. I get the "nice presentation" but this place just seemed too over the top and felt too snooty for my taste.
