Eileen's Colossal Cookies

I'm new to Fort Collins and have already been to The Little Bird Bakeshop twice for business…read moremeetings. Both visits were great. Excellent coffee, seriously good food, and the staff has been incredibly kind and welcoming each time. The atmosphere is one of the best parts -- cool historic building, relaxed vibe, and just a really comfortable place to spend time. It feels like the kind of spot you can use for anything: work meetings, hanging out with friends, or just enjoying a quiet morning by yourself. Definitely becoming one of my go-to places in Fort Collins.

I have been to Little Bird Bakeshop a few times, the old and new locations. The quality of their…read morebaked goods is consistently high. Today, the croque monsieur (the SO cringes at the way I pronounce it when I order because it sounds kind of like "croak mon-sewer") was particularly good. The SO's mushroom quiche was custardy with a good amount of mushrooms. The walnut chocolate chip cookie was an excellent thick homemade type of cookie. The sourdough loaf was spot on. As an every day black coffee drinker, I have to say, they were having a really bad coffee day. After a few sips of my coffee, I went back to counter and put a bunch of half and half into my mug of coffee. The barista was looking at me with an expression that said, "You should have ordered an espresso drink". They are forgiven for one bad coffee day.

While I was waiting in line, an elderly woman who purchased bread asked for a simple receipt. The guy behind the counter just wasn't really helpful, putting it on her that she'd missed the screen option that allowed her to get it either emailed or sent by text, when all she wanted was a simple paper receipt that showed why the price she was charged didn't match the price she was given. It turns out that they add a surcharge, but they're not up front about it. I just thought to myself about how the situation could have been handled so much better.

The issue was that the cheesecake was completely cracked across the top and the side, indicating that it was overcooked. The online website listed a price of $8 cheaper than was quoted over the phone, so I paid more for a small cheesecake that was still cracked-- $30 for a small, overcooked cheesecake. Sadly no apology was offered. I had really high hopes for this, as it was for my girlfriend's birthday and cheesecake is her favorite and I decided to order one instead of making one, and it ended up falling short of expectations.

Btw, I have been to France many times on business, have eaton at some of the best restaurants in Paris, really good, just not to my taste. Ok, we went here last Sunday, I wasn't hungry, but my wife was, so we thought we would use the card. Wife ordered a beef dip, one of her favorite sandwiches, not on my top 10 list. I ordered a charcuterie plater, figured we could take it home, which we did. Anyway, I took a bit of her sandwich, and even though I wasn't hungry, I ate about half of it. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had of any kind. Very simple but delicious. Baguette was amazing, beef appeared to be cured somehow, huge flavor, au jus was great. Today I am going to Timnath to meet a friend for lunch and I am going to make a 30 minute detour to get a sandwich for us for dinner. Not inexpensive, but worth it. Life is too short to eat mediocre food, plus I am a stingy with my calories, like to spend them on delicious food. Thank you La Boutique. Sincerely, Bret and Michelle

I just love the FoCo food scene and wanted to try something new. The barista made a few suggestions. It was before 11am, so that eliminated all the pretzel roll options on the menu. I decided to go with the Roma. She was right! It was refreshing. I loved every bite. Very bread-forward but clearly a high quality bake. My partner got the French Dip and enjoyed it. There's a few small tables as well as barstools along the wall, but most people ordered to-go. Check out the marketplace items, too. So cute!

This fine sunny and warm Sunday morning found us hopping in (again, we came last year) to La Crêperie to fight the crêpe withdrawals--it's been too long. Interior is very "Parisian cafe", period art, TVs showing videos of the pastry chefs doing their thing. She ordered a hot chocolate to start, and a Parisian crêpe (berries, whip cream, raspberry coulis). I ordered a galette (think square envelope-crêpe) from the savory side. I'd had it last visit and had been looking forward to a redux. I ordered the Professeur Steve, capers, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach and brie, which arrived with smoked salmon arranged like a rose at opposing corners (keeps it cold). Oh man, this brie-gooing mushroomy sweet-caramelly onion spinach umami explosion goes perfectly taken in a bite with the salmon. Addiction sated; withdrawals saved off until next June's visit. Wife's crêpe was delicious--everything sweet-toothers love. Hot chocolate is real. Like not from a packet but from a chocco chunk and paid labor somewhere nearby. Whipped cream was real, and thick enough that it could have been sliced and served on its own. Absolutely freaking delicious. Love this place. See you in a year!

If you're even a little apprehensive about buying cookies, that heavenly aroma will have you sold immediately. The cookies themselves are soft, warm, and absolutely perfect. You can tell that care and thought go into every batch-- each bite feels lovingly crafted, which is exactly what you want from a cookie. Service moves at a brisk pace, which makes sense considering there's often just one person juggling taking orders, baking, and cleaning. It's a little fast, but totally understandable and doesn't take away from the experience. While there there's no seating-- this is very much a to-go spot-- The overall ambience is calm and inviting. It's the perfect place to grab a treat for yourself or take home to share (or not-- no judgment here).
