bristlecone bake shop

My family and I happened to see this bakery on our way out of Alma into Breckenridge and decided to stop by on a Thursday morning. We were greeted by the smell of fresh baked goods and inviting smiles. The girls running the bakery were so sweet and friendly and the pastries were amazing! The shop itself has a cozy, vintage feel and looks like it is straight out of a movie!I also tried a vanilla matcha latte which had great flavor and was very smooth. (The shop does offer coffee as well.)We will definitely return to this bakery next time we are in Alma!

This is an amazing bakery. Best sourdough bread I have had in Colorado. Croissants were excellent as well. A real gem!

These pastries were mind blowingly good and staff was very pleasant. We got the almond croissant and the ham and cheese croissant and both were AMAZING. Such a highlight during our stay in Alma.

I was literally here 2 hours ago. Bought the seeded sourdough bread which is crazy good, cinnamon roll, monkey bread and the brioche. This place has the best fresh baked food I've had in long time. The cinnamon roll is so moist, and the cinnamon used is either great or the dough brings the flavor out well. Truthfully one of the best we've ever eaten. The monkey bread was super delicious, and the brioche was so good. The vanilla and custard really blends so well with the blackberries. We had planned on eating these sweets over a couple days - that plan failed. The only mistake I made was when I was asked when paying if I wanted anything else. I laughed and said no. Wrong response, I should have gotten more. I'll be back either this weekend or next week for sure.

Wonderful fresh bread in Alma/FairPlay. Sadly she's on vacation until the middle of August

I dream about Bristlecone! Their bread and pastries are top knotch!! Whenever I am in Alma I have to stop in!

Wow, I love baked goods, and I've eaten them all over the world. This is truly one of the best, if not the best. The atmosphere is quaint, the people are wonderful, especially the owner, and everything we ordered was fantastic. Can't wait to get back!

We were staying in Breckinridge this summer but stayed in FairPlay last year. We love to visit Alma and heard about this bakery. I placed an order online for pickup and oh my goodness! We were not disappointed. We got the chocolate croissants, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, and fresh sourdough bread. Everything is amazing! I highly recommend visiting this spot for baked goods. I have never had sourdough bread this delicious!! The croissants are buttery and flaky deliciousness. Is you are in Alma, this is a stop you must make!

Freshest, tastiest, and most authentic sourdough, croissants, danishes and other baked goods in America. Worth the trip if you're staying anywhere in Summit or Park County and beyond! It really is the most incredible little bakeshop in the country - authentic and caring to its core - and it just so happens to sit at over 10,000 feet of elevation. Is that the shop's only secret? Nope, it's the careful dedication and perfected craft of head baker and owner Maggie who uses the finest ingredients while taking no shortcuts. Here's a hint, try the ham & cheese croissant or chocolate croissant, just be prepared to enter flaky, tasty heaven.

Amazing bread and pastries. It is neat to find Paris quality in Alma. The shop doesn't have a big sign
