Bonrue Bakery (formerly Farmstead)

About This Establishment

Cronuts deliver a crisp, butter-forward bite that pairs with flaky pastries like croissants and kouign amann. The counter-bloom of aroma from roasted coffee meets the air, while upstairs seating frames the red rocks beyond the glass. It’s a casual, unpretentious bakery where a steady hum and fun music set a comfy pace.
