Alice & Kate Bakery

This boutique bakery is about three months old. @aliceandkatebakery was named after Gretchen ( owner's) auntie and grandma. It's a woman owned business. She's a story teller and is a joy to talk to. Type A personality who in her own admission doesn't need much sleep. She promotes local and has local products you can purchase aside from her bakery. This is a Macaron centric bakery with a shared kitchen. There's creamy chocolates too almost as an afterthought. With her background in IT Gretchen can design and make a special one of a kind macaron that will match any occasion. You want your four legged friend's image on the macaron? Done! A wedding theme? On it! Talk to them about flavors. You will be surprised what they can do! Did you know that you can freeze macarons for three months?! Seasonal flavors:Strawberry lemonade, S'mores, Cherry Pie, Blackberry Peach Cheeseccake, keyLime.

We were told there was a soft opening this weekend. The bakery had a few people on it while one of the owners worked to get listed on a social media platform.When she was done she offered us a couple of macarons. We had the Cookie & Cream and Strawberry. Both were delicious. The bakery itself seems small but was brightly lit to show off the baked goods.

I loved this BOUTIQUE BAKERY! Macarons, Macarons, Macarons!! I was especially a fan of the lavender lemon and the Froot Loops flavors! I love places that are dedicated to a special craft and this place is just that! I saw negative reviews saying things that just aren't true. Any person with eyes can see they specialize in macarons.

The shop is cute and the people were sweet, but I have to be honest and say I was a bit disappointed. I thought there would be more considering it's a "bakery" but all they had was macarons and a couple chocolates. I got the cookies and cream which was great but the cookie dough one was hard and not at all the texture a macaroon should be. On top of that it was 2 for $10, 5 for $18 which I thought was pretty pricey for what they are.

Good variety and love the bread choices! Will order regularly when get more familiar with products .

The bakery looks delightful and the gifts and decor are a lot of fun. Pastries look beautiful but they are dry. I threw everything I bought out and that is very sad. I wanted to like this place.

I too wanted to love this place. I'm sorry to say that I was not impressed. I went in around noon and although the menu boards listed all varieties of pastries, they didn't have scones, croissants, cinnamon rolls, or fresh breads. No Biscuits or gingerbread loaf. No rolls. What they had were Macarons. So if you love Macarons - I guess this is the place for you. I don't particularly like them so I didn't try them.I ordered the snickerdoodle cookie (which was hard and overly sweet) and a couple of the brownies (which also felt stale and so dark that we didn't end up eating them) and a loaf of French bread. The French bread was $12 so I was expecting a very beautiful and tasty artisan bread, that is not what I got. It was hard but not crusty without flavor. My bill for 1 cookie, 3 brownies and a loaf of bread was $40. Maybe Wednesdays are not the day to go?I will say that the gift shop portion was very cute! Some very funny towels and pillows, which I almost bought.I am in the area often because of the cleaners and grocery store.Here's hoping that in the future they have the items that are on the menu.

Breads and several pastries taste stale like freezer burn; over priced and the owner is very rude and comes across very self absorbed.

So happy to have this FABULOUS bakery in Castle Pines! Gretchen, the owner is fantastic. Bought the Carmel's, macaroons, and chocolates. I highly recommend Alice + Kate Boutique Bakery!!Thanks for opening up your bakery. Castle Pines needs something good.Love the ambiance too!

Probably the best macaroons I have ever had! Perfect amount of flavor and sweetness in every bite. Gretchen was very helpful and patient with my many questions! Thank you!!!
