The first thing you notice when you step into La Concha Bakery & Coffee is the smell—sugar and butter swirling through the air, dough baking to a golden crisp. Sunlight spills across bright orange wainscoting as trays of pastries glisten like jewels. Behind the counter, croissants are rolled, cut, and baked before your eyes.
There’s a warmth and the unmistakable comfort of something made by hand right in front of you.
Generations of Bakers
It’s a scene that tells a story—one that began generations ago in Mexico. The Ramírez family’s love for baking traces back to Raymundo Ramírez, who learned the art at just nine years old. He passed his passion to his son, Rubén, who supported his family through baking in Baja California. Today, Guillermo Ramírez and his wife, Adriana, continue that proud tradition as the fourth generation of bakers.
After moving to Colorado, Guillermo and Adriana began baking from their home in Woodland Park. What started as small batches for neighbors soon grew into a local favorite. Both were recognized by Teller County for their tasty creations—Guillermo for his master baking and Adriana for her pastries.
Community + Heart
With a little encouragement, they opened La Concha Bakery & Coffee in January 2025—a place where Mexican tradition meets Colorado hospitality. The bakery offers a wide variety of traditional Mexican breads, cakes, and pastries, including sourdough, and many specialty options, blending old-world recipes with modern tastes.
But what truly sets La Concha apart is its heart. It’s a family building a business together. Everyone has a role, and everyone works hard to not only be successful, but to carry on the traditions of those who came before. After ten months in business, Guillermo says the most rewarding part isn’t just seeing the bakery full—it’s welcoming new friends, sharing the baking process and feeling the warmth of community support.
“People come in to check on us, to see how we’re doing,” he says. “That means everything.”
Now, La Concha’s mission goes beyond baking. The family hopes to build a community of bakers, collaborating with locals and giving back to the people and community who helped them rise and share not only their baked creations, but their family traditions.
