Nationally acclaimed bakery Poulette Bakeshop will move to The Juniper in the fall of 2025, a brand-new luxury rental residence located at the gateway of downtown Parker’s Mainstreet. The agreement marks the first confirmed retail tenant at The Juniper, which was co-developed by Colorado-based real estate and investment firm MGL Partners and U.S. developer Rockefeller Group and began pre-leasing its 264 upscale apartments in April 2025.

Poulette Bakeshop, which recently earned a coveted spot on The New York Times’ list of the 22 Best Independent Bakeries in the United States, signed a lease for 2,800 square feet for one of the four available ground-floor retail locations at The Juniper. Trevey Commercial Real Estate represented MGL Partners and Rockefeller Group, and eXp Commercial represented Poulette Bakeshop.

The move to The Juniper marks a significant milestone for the acclaimed bakery, as it transitions from its current Parker location at 19585 Hess Road Unit 107, to a larger, more prominent storefront along the town’s vibrant Mainstreet.

“We’re pleased to welcome Poulette Bakery to downtown Parker,” said Joshua Rivero, mayor of Parker. “Their passion for quality and connection to the community make them an excellent fit for our town. This move adds to the unique charm of our downtown and reflects the kind of growth we’re proud to support. Local businesses like Poulette play a significant role in making Parker a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.”

Founded in 2021 by husband-and-wife chef duo Alen Ramos and Carolyn Nugent—both of whom trained under world-renowned pastry master Pierre Hermé in Paris and led bread and pastry programs at celebrated establishments including Chef-of-the-Century Joel Robuchon’s three-Michelin-starred Las Vegas properties and elBulli in Spain, rated the number one restaurant in the world during their tenure–Poulette Bakeshop has quickly earned both local and national recognition. Known for its artisanal pastries, breads, and baked goods crafted with time-honored French patisserie techniques, the bakery has garnered numerous accolades. In addition to Poulette Bakeshop’s recognition by The New York Times, Ramos & Nugent earned semi-finalist honors in the 2024 and 2025 James Beard Awards and will be attending the 2025 awards ceremony in June as nominees for the national recognition of Best Pastry Chef and Baker

“It has long been our dream to operate Poulette Bakeshop in the heart of Parker’s Mainstreet, and we’re thrilled to be expanding in a way that allows us to better serve our community,” said Carolyn Nugent, co-founder of Poulette Bakeshop. “Guided by our ongoing commitment to exceptional hospitality and the craft of artisanal, European-inspired baked goods, this new chapter deepens our connection to the community through service and culinary tradition,”

The upcoming debut of Poulette Bakeshop’s new flagship location at The Juniper underscores downtown Parker’s continued transformation into one of Greater Denver’s most sought-after residential and lifestyle destinations, fueled by a growing mix of upscale boutiques, dining spots, and modern urban living.
