Paris just got a
lot closer to the trailhead.
The Neighborhood Bakery
No parking circle. No circling the block. Just a buttery croissant, a proper cup of coffee, and the trail waiting on the other side of the street.

The Neighborhood Bakery
Same Jean Pierre.
Different side of town.
Since 1969, Jean Pierre has been the kind of place where you walk in for one croissant and leave with a whole pastry box, a baguette under your arm, and a very good reason to come back tomorrow.
The 8th Avenue location brings that same daily-baked, made-from-scratch magic to your neighborhood — a proper grab-and-go stop for locals, hikers, cyclists, and anyone who takes their morning seriously. The pastries are identical. The coffee is identical. The parking? Infinitely better.
"Still serving the kind of croissant that makes you pull over and question every other croissant you've ever eaten."
Baked Fresh Daily
The good stuff.
Ready when you are.
Everything baked in-house, every morning. Pick it up on your way in,
grab it on your way out. Either way, it's not going to last long.
🥐
Butter Croissants
Classic. Flaky outside, soft inside. You already know.
🍫
Pain au Chocolat
Warm chocolate tucked inside laminated dough. No further explanation needed.
.🥧
Fruit Tarts
Crisp pastry shell, silky custard, fruit so bright it looks fake. It's not.
🍮
Éclairs & Palmiers
Jean Pierre classics since the beginning. Order two of each.
☕
Coffee, Done Right
Hot, strong, and ready to carry. Your trail legs will thank you.
🥖
Baguettes & Bread
Take one home. Make a meal. Feel very French about the whole thing..
Not Just a Drive-By
Come in.
Stay a while.
Not every morning needs to be a sprint. Sometimes you want a croissant, a real cup of coffee, and a couch that doesn't have anywhere to be either.
The 8th Ave location is built for that. Cozy seating, warm light, and jazz playing low enough to think — or not think at all. It's the kind of place you show up meaning to stay twenty minutes and leave an hour and a half later feeling inexplicably better about everything.
Location, Location, Location
Before the trail.
After the ride. During the craving.
Horse Gulch Trailhead is right across the street. That means your pre-hike croissant is 30 seconds from your car, and your post-ride coffee is 30 seconds from your bike.
8th Avenue runs straight through the heart of Durango's west side. If you're driving through, there's no reason to pass without stopping. You'll regret it either way — might as well regret it with pastry in hand.
Come hungry. Leave happy.
