Crepes A La Carte: this Breckenridge staple is worth the wait. With an extensive menu that includes savory, sweet and build-your-own crepes, every item is made fresh to order. Popular among locals and visitors alike, this street side walk up window offers a creative menu. Crepe favorites include chicken Florentine, the Breck ribeye, bananas foster or the blue lagoon (Nutella with blueberries, brown sugar and Bailey’s Irish Cream.) Wait in line on Main Street or visit their second (indoor) location at 309 South Ridge Street Alley (less than two blocks away).
Butterhorn Bakery: if crepes aren’t your style, bee line for the Butterhorn Bakery on Main Street. Display cases greet you, stocked with beautiful pastries, cookies, cakes, pies and more. Enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch at this hotspot – the Eggy Bread is a favorite you won’t find anywhere else – then grab some snickerdoodle cookies to go!
Blue Moon Bakery: perfect for grab-and-go days before hitting the slopes, Blue Moon Bakery in Silverthorne offers breakfast and lunch options alongside an extensive menu of baked goods - fresh breads, muffins, scones, cakes, pies, eclairs, cinnamon rolls, fruit tarts, cookies, cannoli, cupcakes, dessert bars, and more!
Mountain Top Cookie Shop: with locations in Breckenridge, Keystone and Copper, you’ll be able to get your cookie fix no matter where you find yourself in Summit County!

The shop offers gluten-free options and all cookies are available to ship anywhere throughout the U.S.
