When it comes to intoxicating smells, there is nothing quite like the scent of freshly-baked bread, pie, and pastries, all of which are often forgotten thanks to the convenience of chain grocery stores. If you want to treat yourself and support an incredible local business, however, there is only one place to go, which is the delicious Ryus Avenue Bakery in Colorado:
Please note, Ryus Avenue Bakery is temporarily closed.
Located along - you guessed it! - Ryus Avenue in La Veta, the Ryus Avenue Bakery is southern Colorado's favorite spot for baked goods, homemade breakfasts, and hearty lunches.
Founded in 1991, the Ryus Avenue Bakery is situated in the heart of the Spanish Peaks, making it a favorite spot for not only the locals but those traveling through as well.
Offering both dine-in (pandemic pending) and carry out, there is something for everyone to love at Ryus, beginning with their made-from-scratch bread, including sourdough, onion rosemary, seeded wheat, and baguettes on Tuesday; asiago black pepper, sourdough, and baguettes on Thursday; and cranberry walnut, sourdough, sunflower, and baguettes on Saturday.
If you take the most important meal of the day seriously, you will be happy to know that the Ryus Avenue Bakery does, too, thanks to their mouthwatering breakfast sandwiches and coffee.
