Reviews

• 5★ I couldn’t recommend this place enough! I searched all over Fort Collins to find a Strawberry Pavlova and came across Retreat Bakery. They were able to customize it to exactly what I wanted and had it ready in time. It was DELICIOUS and my new favorite dessert. I look forward to trying other dessert — Emma Yarrow
• 5★ One of my favorites spots in Fort Collins! The coffee is terrific, the atmosphere is inviting and the food is out of this world! The biscuits and gravy are the best in town. My hack is to get a bacon, egg & cheesed biscuit sandwich with a side of gravy…it is so filling and satisfying. The sweet trea — Lance Wright
• 3★ Went here to order a cake, left knowing I will cancel my order. The employee was unwelcoming, seemed annoyed to answer questions. Didn’t feel like an easy place to be at. We ordered a Raspberry Torte, about the size of your palm, $15. It was ok. Nothing to go back for. — Mary Poliakov
