One of Colorado’s most buzzworthy bakeries is preparing to move. But lucky for residents in Parker, it won’t be going far.
Poulette Bakeshop, at 19585 Hess Road, Unit 107, will relocate this fall “to a larger, more prominent storefront” on Mainstreet in its hometown, according to an announcement this week. The shop, known for its French pastries, will inhabit a 2,800-square-foot space on the ground level of a new luxury apartment complex called The Juniper at 11985 Mainstreet in Parker.
Owners Carolyn Nugent and Alen Ramos moved to Colorado in 2020 after illustrious careers as professional pastry chefs, and began the bakery out of their kitchen. In 2021, they opened their first commercial space and have since put out macarons, cookies, breads and other treats that earned national acclaim. (Cardboard eclairs, anyone?)
In April, the James Beard Foundation named Nugent and Ramos finalists for its prestigious awards, in the Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker category. That nomination came as The New York Times dubbed Poulette one of the best bakeries in America.
“It has long been our dream to operate Poulette Bakeshop in the heart of Parker’s Mainstreet, and we’re thrilled to be expanding in a way that allows us to better serve our community,” Nugent said in a statement. “Guided by our ongoing commitment to exceptional hospitality and the craft of artisanal, European-inspired baked goods, this new chapter deepens our connection to the community through service and culinary tradition.”
No one from Poulette Bakeshop was immediately available to comment on when the original location may close before the move, which is expected to be complete in fall 2025.
