Truly incredible pastries & treats!! Be careful if you order teas to go, and maybe consider readjusting the tea bags hanging out of the lids, as it made for quite a bit of leaking (they're also very very hot!). Note to self: not a big fan of their coffee, maybe a bit too cocoa-y

Fabulous Supreme Very accepting of those of us with disabilities https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8mntpaD/

Bakery case

Found this great neighborhood bakery bar that has a great selection of gf treats! Staff were super welcoming, food and coffee/chai were delicious as well. We'll definitely be coming back. Such a cute and comfortable set up as well. There was even a person remote working at the bar since the atmosphere was so pleasant. By far the best chai latte I have had in Colorado, it was nice and spicy and not watered down like most. Spouse said their matcha latte was the best he has ever had. They were so good we failed to try each other's drinks! The gf biscuits and gravy was tasty and a great portion. We also purchased a bake good to go and they kindly kept it in the cooler for us until we left!

Awesome bakery! Both sweet and savory treats. Even treats for your dog. Inside and outside seating. I will definitely be coming here often. Cash and credit cards accepted.

Samoa Cheesecake, 1985 and Sangiovese

I've only had the chance to get to this cute little spot twice so far, but I see many more in my future! Most recently, I was craving a glass of red (mid-day on a Tuesday, of course) and something for my sweet tooth, so my husband and I ventured in for a lazy afternoon. We were greeted by the friendly masked bartender/barista and grabbed our boozy drinks, perused the glass case that was full of small, elegant desserts, then snagged a table in the corner. The house red is a Sangiovese (one of my faves), and on the cheaper side compared to their other wine offerings. We dug into the Samoa Cheesecake we got (pricey, but worth it considering how rich and decadent it was - we ended up taking half home) and relaxed in the quiet atmosphere. I saw that they used to have a savory menu, and I'd love to see them bring that back since sweets are a once-in-a-while craving for me, but when that craving hits, I'll be trying another of their delicious caked or macarons paired with another glass of wine!

In search of some early morning sweetness, I found this gem tucked into a corner of the shopping plaza - it did not disappoint! I tried one of the white chocolate Entremet a massive sugar cookie and a beautiful doughy pretzel that looked too good to leave in the display case. The Entremet was perfectly delicate, packed with flavor and just the right consistency. I would tell you about the cookie but it was eaten by my companion before I got to try it- so I am thinking it was pretty good. The pretzel I saved for later, and even warmed up at home it was still wonderful, carb-tastic perfection. Was it pricey? Of course, it's Fort Collins and it's Colorado - was it worth it? DEFINITELY!

Biscuits and gravy

Pastries are all delicious. There are the normal pastries and fancy sweets. Some GF choices. Latte was quite good. Hot. In a nice big ceramic cup. Service was very friendly. Ambiance was ok. I liked sitting at the counter. They were playing old Bob Ross shows, a very relaxing choice. I would definitely have them make a cake for a party. Lots of reasons to go and to return.

This place is a total vibe! I was looking for somewhere cozy to go read and have some pastries and Retreat delivered. I got a slice of Tiramisu to go and my husband said it was one of the best he's ever had. I had a couple of key lime pie bites and a banana cream bite and they were amazing! Also had a mimosa and a turkey pesto sandwich while I hung out at the bar for a while reading my book. The service was fabulous as well! Will definitely be back!

Great place to meet a friend for a catch up! We like the friendly staff and all the choices for desserts and drinks. It's hard to choose which beautiful treat you want first. They have a good wine and beer selection along with coffees and tea.

Way overpriced, 2 pastries was 17 dollars. Save your money and go elsewhere because it was definitely not worth it.

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.
