Kind Words From Our Customers

  • "I wish I could give this place 1000 stars. I have never been stopped in my tracks while eating a pastry, until I came here. I wish I could recommend a specific product but honestly they are all amazing! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere and their drink selection is on point."

    Nina Mundy

  • "Un-be-lievable! Retreat consistently has some of THE most incredible baked goods I've ever eaten. Without any exaggeration I have been on the verge of tears multiple times because of the incredible quality of the food here. Everything I have ever ordered is wildly delicious and the service is very friendly. Just incredible."

    Bowen Rodkey

    T.J. Laurendeau

  • "The Retreat Bakery Bar is the best place on earth. They are the best place to hang out with the most delish foods to choose from. This is my favorite place in FoCo; everyone should grab a treat and drink."

    Amy Sell

  • "My wife and I wanted an after dinner treat and went to Retreat for cookies. I had the Toolbox and my wife had a snickerdoodle. They were among the best cookies we've ever had!"

    Ronald Sherwood

  • "Each of the treats was like a little retreat for us!! They all transported our senses and left us longing for more. In particular, the caramel tart was absolutely delightful. We split this delight and thank goodness because I think my taste buds would explode if I ate any more! Layers of melty shortbread, rich, intense chocolate and silky, perfect caramel totally made my night. "

    Dondi Barrowclough

  • "It's so hard to find gluten free desserts so I was delighted to walk in and see even at the end of the day and a half full display case, there were still many amazing options for me! They even had an opera cake! The two desserts I picked were amazing and the blueberry macaroon was the best macaroon I've ever had. My simple vanilla latte was also better than anywhere I've been. You can tell they take great care in preparing their food."

    Carissa Netherton

  • "The mini tarts were AMAZING! Small enough to have more than one, but so delicious you'll want too many. Paired perfectly with my iced chai tea. Wonderful atmosphere, good for a meetup or a study session, or whatever else you desire. Highly recommend!"

    Erin Cory

  • "This has become one of our favorite go to places in town! My partner loves that they have a variety of gluten free goodies, the drink selections are great and the pastries are seriously beautiful. We have gotten take out of their minis for office and family gatherings and they are always a hit!"

    Jennifer Head

  • "Every single time I try something from here it is absolutely delicious. Even their latte is great! We come back again and again to try something new and it never disappoints. Best bakery in town. I have never ordered the same thing twice and I always leave soooo happy. Everyone who works here is so kind, helpful, and friendly. We love it here."
