The only reason that I visited Chama was to stop by for pastries from Wilder Bakeshop. I patiently waited three nights until they were open at 0700 on Saturday (the owner, Jazzmyn, is only open on the weekends in shoulder season). I take my baked goods veeery seriously. So, my checked luggage included a Rubbermaid container. The staff was very friendly and the interior is very calm and modern. I've only had a cinnamon roll so far (pre-Edward Sargent Wildlife Area trail run!), but it was delicious. I highly recommend Wilder Bakeshop. read more

*********** The owner is a talented and courageous woman. Someday someone should document her life journey which features plenty of courage and success. "If you build it, they will come." Unlike some bakeries, who have a backstop of family and kickstarter money... The owner of Wilder Bake Shop did this all on her own. After a tragic accident took the life of her fiancé in the Chama area, she could've just turned around and headed back to the Pacific Northwest and started a new career in safe comfortable surroundings. Instead she took some of her experience from previous baking endeavors... and created Wilder. To suggest people come from "far and wide," just to sample her creations... would be an understatement. Frankly, every single time we visit Wilder, when the town hasn't shut its water off... or some other calamity keeps them from opening their doors... We run into people who have planned their Northern New Mexico journey around this bakery. I love the location near Chama... I really love Chama too. The winding road from the South leading to the town, and the proximity to Pagosa Springs and Durango... The access from Taos and Santa Fe is easy... There's a lot of reasons to plan some time in this area. But the "icing on the cake" literally is Wilder Bake Shop Hope you have a chance to find your way here... She/they deserve your business and your loyalty. Note: Please don't eat all the quiche, sure it's amazing, but pls save some for the rest of us! https://wilderbakeshop.com Instagram is worth viewing too ...

Absolutely wonderful, surprising & amazing to find such an excellent, made daily from scratch, European style bakery & coffee shop in the tiny (under 1,000) town of Chama,NM! Definitely worth a multi-hour detour, but but be sure & check their website or Facebook page for hours of operation before you make that detour read more

Great stop on our bikes from Miami to Durango. Excellent service , cafecito and sandwich! Thank you read more

My stick bun was incredible and we equally loved our sandwich. (We tried the Italian) and the bread was soft but firm, the meat high quality. But...that sticky bun exceeded all expectations! Don't overlook the great coffee service from a Local Roaster. We will definitely be back. read more

If you're looking for a quick breakfast and coffee, this is the place to go. It's a clean, modern style bakery with southwestern touches. The service was great and so was the food! read more

If your passing through Chama, stop into this artisan Bakeshop & Espresso. Fresh ingredients including farm fresh eggs locally used in Jasmine's (owner) baked goods. Top notch espresso machine to make your favorite espresso drink. Iconik Coffee Roasters beans used. My Americano was smooth & creamy.

Wilder Bakeshop - Delicious pastries!! - Bakeries Near Me - Chama, New Mexico

A diamond hidden in this cute sleepy town. Fresh made pastries, sweet and savory. We tried the quiche, ham & cheese croissant, ricotta croissant along with sticky pecan rolls and lemon tarts. Excellent!! Get there early because they sell out fast and it's too good to pass up!! read more

The receptionist at our hotel in Chama recommended that we pick up coffee and pastries at Wilder to start our day before riding the train. What a great recommendation! The pecan sticky bun was divine and the green Chile cheese quiche was a far better lunch than what we were served on the train. Most importantly, the coffee was the best we found anywhere in New Mexico. This place is a gem and compares most favorably with the high-end bakeries found in much larger cities like San Francisco where we live. Wishing the owner (who was single-handily doing everything with such grace) continued prosperity. read more

This was a great find in Chama that we had to go back the next day. First day got a chocolate croissant, heirloom tomato/Mozzarella/Basil croissant and a London fog. Both pastries were delicious. The next morning before we left town had to go back and try their monte cristo croissant. Definitely the best decision of the weekend. Thank you baker of the wilder. read more

This bakery is amazing! We found it by accident but it's worth a detour if you are ever remotely close by. read more

I had followed this shop on Instagram and today took a day trip from Albuquerque and stopped here for coffee and pastries. These European pastries are that and more. Loved the individual quiche in flaky pastry and the other twists and tarts we had. What a sweet spot! The drive was superb and the people here were professional and friendly. Make the trip! Wish I would've taken pictures. read more

Highly recommend this bakery if you are anywhere in the area during opening hours (Fri/Sat/Sun as of Summer 2022). I spend summers in SW CO about 75 minutes from here, and I literally plan hiking trips in the South San Juans and shopping trips to Santa Fe to be able to stop here on the way. The baked goods are beautiful and delicious, and the shop seems a labor of love by the owner. read more

This is the best bakery in northern New Mexico. Really excellent. I'll be stopping by every time I pass through Chama!

World Class Baked goods, awesome coffee all served up with a smile at very reasonable prices...

The cutest little coffee shop and bakery! So happy we stumbled across this gem on our road trip! Everything we had was delicious!!!

Top notch baked goods and coffee! Simple pleasures. Found this spot by accident on a random drive and was treated to pleasant surprise.

If you are anywhere close to Chama, make a stop at Wilder!! The pastries all looked amazing. We had a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun, and I can honestly say that's the best sticky bun I've ever had (and I work at a bakery!). It was a melt in your mouth experience. We also had lattes, both of which were made with homemade caramel and vanilla syrups. Delicious! They also had quiches, but they had jalapeños in them, so our midwestern taste buds passed accordingly - wimps! The owner was super friendly and we were fortunate to chat with her for a bit. The inside space was open and comfortable - a great reuse of an old motorcycle shop! Definitely stop - you won't be disappointed! read more

Every time I come to Chama, I have to stop here. I will stay an extra night to make sure my trip includes a visit. Literally the best bakery for 100 miles. So many new things to try. I like to take my treats up to Main Street benches and sit and look at the train and the Mountain View. So lovely...then hit the cute shops in town. The perfect stop! read more

I had high expectations on my first visit to Wilder, as I had been told it was great by many friends I trust. On my first visit, my girlfriend and I were the only customers. A woman was standing outside smoking when we arrived and she seemed bothered she had to go inside and wait on us. We each bought a coffee and pastry, and they were good. The server was unfriendly and distant, considering we were the only people in the cafe. On my second visit, a different woman helped us and the atmosphere was a lot better. I believe she was the owner. I almost told her about my last experience, perhaps I will... She was friendly and genuine. It is amazing how much difference a smile and courteous approach makes! read more

Delicious cappuccino and bakery items!! Found this friendly place passing through Chama. Highly recommended.

Some of the best pastries I have ever had. We ate here multiple time while we were in town and each day there was something new and delicious! read more

Great spot! Brand new, fresh baked pastries, good coffee, a pleasant surprise in this little town!

I was visiting Chama and someone told me there was a new bakery in town, just south of the Subway. He said it was "pretty good." I had the feeling he was one of those understated types so I went the next morning. Oh my. I will never pass near Chama again without stopping there. I had a bacon and green chile quiche which was amazing, with a light, flaky, buttery crust. I don't even like eggs and I loved this sooooooo much! It completely redefined quiche for me. I personally wouldn't expect to find a bakery of this quality in such a small place. It's as good as, if not better than, the best bakeries in Albuquerque which is much, much larger. Go there now. You won't be sorry. read more

Excellent pastries and coffees. The owner bakes them on site every day. We've been here three times and the service is friendly and quick. Very nice atmosphere and clean! Look forward to visiting again! read more

What a hidden gem! If you are ever near Chama, a stop at Wilder Bakeshop is worth a stop. The cozy stove and welcoming atmosphere beg you to stay a while ... and arrive hungry because the pastries are out of this world. The ham and cheese croissants are flaky and delicious and the cherry galettes are divine. The coffee is good too. We will be back again and again! read more

Best croissants we ever had. Crispy on the outside, fresh and buttery. Coffee is good, too. Will return each time we pass through Chama.
