Tucked just off the bustle of downtown Greeley, the 16th Street Plaza is a charming collective of locally-owned businesses that bring a sense of community, creativity, and culture to the city’s core. With its inviting brick paths, quaint storefronts, and entrepreneurial spirit, this little stretch of shops and eateries has become a favorite destination for those who appreciate small-town warmth paired with upscale experiences.
Anchoring the Plaza’s sense of style and camaraderie is The Bar.Ber Shop—a full-service barbershop where grooming meets culture. This is not your average cut-and-go stop. With expertly trained barbers who value precision and conversation, every appointment feels like a personalized experience. Whether it’s a quick fade, beard sculpting, or a straight razor shave, the team here brings artistry and care to every detail. The welcoming, industrial-chic space has created a loyal following, and it’s not hard to see why.
Just steps away is Margie’s Coffee Shop, a modern, cozy café that smells like fresh pastries and dreams brewed in small batches. With a menu that rotates seasonally and features locally sourced beans, Margie’s is the perfect spot to sip, snack, and slow down. From pour-overs and lattes to decadent baked goods and brunch bites, it’s a favorite haunt for professionals, students, and coffee lovers alike. The space also doubles as a gathering place—where laptops hum alongside laughter, and first dates happen over croissants.
A staple of the Plaza since 1987, Madison & Main Gallery is a cooperative space featuring around 20 local artists and several consignors from northeastern Colorado. The gallery showcases a rotating collection of fine art and crafts—including pottery, jewelry, textiles, watercolors, photography, and more—curated around bi-monthly themes like “Art to Wear” and “Garden and Nature.” With ever-changing exhibits and a welcoming atmosphere, Madison & Main is a must-visit for anyone seeking one-of-a-kind, locally made treasures.
Tucked sweetly into the Plaza, La Petite French Bakery brings a taste of Paris to downtown Greeley. Known for its buttery croissants, delicate macarons, and expertly crafted pastries, La Petite offers a menu that blends classic French techniques with local flair. Whether you're grabbing a morning espresso and pain au chocolat or indulging in a lemon tart after lunch, every bite feels like a small escape to a European café. With its cozy charm and irresistible aromas, it's quickly become a favorite for both locals and visitors.
For those craving a classic Italian meal, Pinocchio’s delivers in spades. Family-owned and filled with character, this cozy eatery serves up homemade pastas, savory sauces, and indulgent desserts. The warm hospitality and authentic flavors make it a beloved date-night destination and a go-to for gatherings with family and friends. The scent of garlic and herbs lingers in the air, promising a meal as memorable as it is delicious.
Currently, the 16th Street Plaza is undergoing a significant construction project to revamp the street and improve long-term accessibility and functionality. Though the road in front of the businesses is temporarily closed, the shops and restaurants remain open and are ready to welcome patrons with the same exceptional service and charm. Once completed, the improved layout will enhance the overall experience for visitors and locals alike.
Whether you're looking for a fresh haircut, a caffeine boost, a curated outfit, a thoughtful gift, or a comforting plate of pasta, the 16th Street Plaza offers it all—wrapped in a sense of place that feels both elevated and familiar.
