Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 177,000+ times by locals looking for things to do and places to go.

As we continue to grow, I’m looking to add one or two people to help with partnerships with local businesses.

If you love supporting local businesses and want to help grow these newsletters, just reply to this email and tell me a little about yourself.

Rheinlander Bakery

Arvada takes its pastries seriously. Whether it’s a weekend ritual or a midweek treat, there are a few spots locals keep coming back to again and again. And this time, the favorites rose to the top.

🥇 Rheinlander Bakery

A true Olde Town staple. Classic, consistent, and the kind of place that feels like it’s been part of your routine forever.

🥈 Knead The Bakery

Small batch, big following. Knead keeps things simple and does them really well.

🥉 Das Meyer Fine Pastry Chalet

European-style pastries done right. A go-to when you want something a little extra.

🥐 La Patisserie Francaise

French classics that never miss. Flaky, buttery, and worth the stop.

🥐 Bread Winner’s Cafe and Catering

Comfort bakes and cozy vibes. A familiar favorite.

🥐 Corvus Coffee

Great coffee meets equally solid pastries. Hard to go wrong here.

🥐 Gargaro’s

A neighborhood gem with plenty of sweet options to explore.

🥐 La Dolce Vita

A sweet little stop in Olde Town that locals know well.

🥐 Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters

Coffee first, but the pastries hold their own.

Arvada didn’t overthink this one. The classics showed up and held their ground.

Pastries had its moment. Now it’s beer time.

We’re opening voting for Best Breweries in Arvada, celebrating the local spots pouring out great beer and even better vibes. Easy-drinking lagers, hoppy favorites, seasonal taps — this is about the places that feel like your go-to. From Olde Town hangouts to hidden gems, it’s all fair game.

If there’s a brewery you always end up at, a pint that never misses, or a spot you recommend every time, this is your moment.

Arvada dates are all about small-town charm with local flavor. Olde Town Arvada is a go-to for strolling, cozy dinners, and dessert stops, while the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities adds a culture-forward twist with shows, exhibits, and open-air vibes. If you’re leaning outdoorsy, sunset views and picnic potential at Majestic View Park never miss.

Vote and we’ll share the top picks—chosen by locals—in an upcoming issue. 💌
