Aspen Leaf Bakery And Cafe

Incredible!
Amazing staff,
Incredible food,
Whimsical setting!
I immensely enjoyed our lunch here.
The two egg breakfast and the Cuban sandwich are highly recommended!

The BEST lemon bar I’ve ever had!

The Cherry turnover was also excellent and now I’m trying to figure out how I can try everything else in their pastry case before I leave this area in a few days.

Wonderful sidewalk seating area, and lots of quaint seating inside. This place is worth the 10 minute detour off of Hwy 50!

What a great locally owned business! We met the owners daughter the night before after asking for great breakfast spots around Canon City. Loved hopping right over to Florence to this unique Cafe that is filled with other locally owned business owners making the cafe homing. It is truly one of a kind. The quiche was delicious and we even left with a lemon bar for the road that wasn’t overly sweet which was perfect for us!

This place is fabulous!! The pastries were plentiful and delicious. The staff were fantastic and such a delight. The ambiance is very charming/relaxing. The only struggle was choosing which pastries to try. Well I was not able to try them all.....I tried....but will definitely be back and have another go round. The bread pudding was spectacular!!!!

We went in there thinking it was just a pastry shop. However, it was near noon and there was much more than pastries. The fabulous sandwiches were made right in front of us with homemade bread. The soda fountain there was fabulous with real sugar, very tasty

Fun little small town cafe. Had lots of deserts and food too. Got the Tiramisu which was quite good but almost got a Danish too since they looked so good. Very eclectic antique feel and also sold some nice priced pottery made by the mayor of Florence. Would happily go back if in the area.

What a perfect day for a cherry, apple or blueberry turnover fresh out of the oven. Don’t forget to take a few peanut butter cookies home for the cookie jar! Best pastries in Southern Colorado!!!

To me this is one of the best places for lunch or brunch in Florence. The food is delicious and the baked goods are soooooo good!!! You won't be disappointed!

I love this place! Their careful attention to every single food item they serve is evident in the taste and in the presentation. And they have the best coffee within a 30-mile radius, hands down!

Absolutely love coming here. Serves the best Chai I've ever had.

Such a cute bakery and cafe. I had the broccoli cheddar soup bread bowl and my partner had a croissant chicken salad sandwich. We each got a dessert to go; I had the brownie which was so good and he had the cheesecake. Great ambience too. Would high recommend.

Hidden Gem #3

So happy I came across this bakery. Love the ambience and staff is friendly.
I ordered two Italian Sandwiches, two Bearclaws (highly recommend), one Apple Turnover and one Cherry Turnover. All delicious. Plus I drove from Florence back to Westcliffe (35 min drive) and ordered all of it to go.

Can’t wait to come back and try other pastries and sandwiches.

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and seen. The staff were courteous, friendly and thoughtful. Every bit of food we tried was scrumptious. We had pastries and coffee and an hour later had to come back for a late lunch and more pastries to go! Try the bear claws and chocolate macaroons!

Comfortable, calm shop. Service is friendly and good. Lots of cool things to look at and maybe buy. Good selection on menu.

Quaint place to kick back have a sandwich, dessert or just coffee/tea and a pastry.

The food always is fresh and tastes good! Service is always good and everyone is so nice. Definitely a place to eat and check out!

Soooo good! The food was all so fresh and delicious. It was great for us weary travellers and had plenty of options for kids. The owner was precious and gave us some desserts she had tried that she didn't quite feel were as good as her grandmother's but she didn't want them to waste...they were delicious still! I had the club sandwich and tomato bisque and they were both some of the best I've had. Also love the sale of local artists' goods in the cafe. We scored a really cool mug from a local potter.

My favorite little restaurant in Florence, Colorado!

While driving through Florence, my poor hypoglycemic husband needed a sweet treat. When we walked in, we immediately noticed many cute, handmade gifts and items for sale! The 2 beautiful girls at the register, Ariana and Layla, were so sweet and helpful! They worked together as a great team! The owner, Kris, (who was equally as beautiful as the girls) was a great conversationalist as me and my husband enjoyed our homemade pastries. She made us laugh and feel like family.

Visiting this family-owned establishment is a MUST for anyone visiting Fremont County!
Great food, gifts, and atmosphere. Love it!

I'm here for the pastries. Enough said! Food options are good as well, and I like the ambiance. Neat place to stop if you're driving through.

Cool little bakery/cafe. The coffee is very good and hot.
