There’s something about walking into Ginger and Baker that feels like home. Maybe it’s the welcoming scent of fresh-baked pies, the beautifully restored historic mill, or the friendly faces behind the counter. Whatever it is, this Fort Collins staple isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience.
A Place Where History and Flavor Meet
Housed in a 100-year-old feed mill, Ginger and Baker is more than just a place to grab a bite. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with multiple dining options, a coffee shop, a market, and even a teaching kitchen for cooking classes. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal at The Cache, a casual bite at The Café, or a perfectly brewed espresso from The Coffee Shop, this spot has something for everyone.
The Must-Try Dishes
While everything on the menu is crafted with care, there are a few standout dishes that keep locals coming back:
- Chicken Pot Pie – A flaky, buttery crust filled with tender chicken, creamy sauce, and hearty vegetables.
- Crab & Artichoke Dip – A warm, cheesy delight that pairs perfectly with crisp toast points.
- Bison Meatloaf – A flavorful twist on a comfort food classic, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
- The Famous Pie Selection – No visit is complete without a slice of their legendary pie. From rich Chocolate Bourbon Pecan to classic Apple Streusel, every bite is pure bliss.
Why It’s a Fort Collins Favorite
Beyond the food, Ginger and Baker is a true gathering place. It’s where locals come to enjoy live music, attend book club meetings, and take hands-on cooking classes. The upstairs event space and rooftop patio make it an ideal spot for celebrations, and the cozy atmosphere keeps people lingering a little longer than they planned.
