Anyone who remembers Boulder’s Blue Fine Pastries—and still misses the heavenly treats that were crafted inside the bird’s-egg-blue bakery—will be thrilled to know pastry chef Jen Bush is back in business. This time, she’s top toque at Lucky's Bakehouse and Creamery [2] in North Boulder. [2]

The just-opened patisserie joins Lucky’s Market [3] and Lucky’s Cafe [4] in reflecting owner Bo Sharon's commitment to hyper-local, farm-fresh ingredients (Sharon even has an organic farm in the works). Bush incorporates top-quality products such as Conscious Coffees [5], Justin’s Nut Butters [6], and Noosa Yogurt [7] into her highly finessed breads and confections. Don’t miss the brandied S’mores cake (pictured) with a decadent chocolate base topped with marshmallow fluff, a homemade graham, a curl of chocolate, and a hint of Maldon sea salt [8]. Or, pair your morning coffee (no espresso here) with the indulgently sticky cinnamon-caramel monkey bread.

Bonus: Bush also churns organic, small-batch ice cream in flavors like drive-in popcorn and Madhava [9] honey lavender.
