Quality Craftsmanship

At Evergreen Bread & Cocktail Lounge, we believe that great food and drink bring people together.

 

Nestled in the heart of Evergreen, Colorado, our café and lounge is a warm and welcoming space where artisanal bread, craft cocktails, and a sense of community come together.

Our Baking Philosophy

Our commitment to quality begins with our bread-making process, rooted in time-honored techniques and natural ingredients. We craft our breads using just three simple components: flour, water, and salt—completely free from preservatives and additives. Each loaf is naturally leavened with our carefully maintained sourdough starter, a living culture of wild yeast and beneficial bacteria that imparts unique flavors and extends shelf life.

The sourdough process involves a slow fermentation, sometimes extending over 24 hours, allowing the dough to develop a rich depth of flavor and aroma that commercial yeasts can't replicate. This method not only enhances taste but also offers health benefits, such as improved digestibility and the presence of beneficial compounds like antioxidants.

We take pride in using ancient and sprouted grains, including spelt, Kamut™, millet, quinoa, amaranth, and teff. Sourced from local millers who specialize in heritage grains, these flours are stone-ground to preserve their nutritional integrity and robust flavors. The use of natural granite millstones ensures that all parts of the grain are integrated into the flour, maintaining essential enzymes and proteins.
