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.

Bread and pastries are so delicious!…read more Really well executed bread. Baguettes, sourdoughs, and anything in a loaf form are excellent. Ciabattas, bagels, and everything else seems to fall just a tad short for the price point. But certainly the best baguette outside of Denver! Love, love, love their baguettes. Have I mentioned the baguettes? :) Their pastries are wonderful. I can always count on Serious Delights to satisfy my [posh] sweet tooth. Croissants are near perfect. Check out that lamination! Apricot-Ginger scones are heavenly. However, my go-to treat would have to be the oatmeal cookie, the most underrated of them all. This cookie, let me tell you, is perfection. It's everything you want from an oatmeal cookie. Thick, chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and perfectly sweet. Fruit portion is perfect. If they ever changed anything about this recipe, I'd cry. Serious Delights-- ever consider sharing your recipe?? Honestly, all of their pastries are good. I think I have tried them all. I very often go to Nature's O just to treat myself to something sweet.

Nice folks, lots of food options, some savory food (look at the bottom of the board, it could be highlighted better). If you're there for the signature "bread", the sign indicates it arrives around 10am. The earlybird doesn't get the bread! I had a very good coffee and a green chili croissant that was surprisingly flavorful. Lots of other things I'd have liked to try. Cute, eclectic shop in the coffee shop tradition. Shared and window seating, some outdoor sidewalk seats. Looked like a local crowd on a summer Saturday. Worth repeating!
