Tucked away on South Boulder Road lies a culinary haven unlike any other. Button Rock Bakery isn’t just a bakery—it’s a vibrant community hub where flavors and cultures converge under one roof. Jamie Lachel is the visionary behind the bakery and the person who brought Button Rock Bakery & Kenny Lou’s Deli to Lafayette. The entire venture has been a labor of love and dedication to Jamie’s culinary pursuits and her desire to create a place in Lafayette where anyone can go, whether for the bakery’s specialty cookies, a sushi lunch, or a meatball sandwich.

A Culinary Fusion: Three Kitchens Under One Roof

Button Rock Bakery isn’t your average bakery. The team describes it as “three kitchens under one roof.” Aside from the main bakery, which offers an array of specialty cakes and wedding cakes (they handle close to a thousand cakes a year!), there’s an Italian-Jewish deli run by Chef John and a sushi bar, Kenny Lou’s Sushi, where fresh sushi is made daily. This unique blend of cuisines reflects Jamie’s initial vision of creating a bodega-like experience adapted to the Lafayette community’s tastes.

From Humble Beginnings to Community Staple

Jamie’s journey began with her selling her baked goods at Under the Tent, which was a brick-and-mortar market on Main Street in Lyons, CO. Jamie then started as a wholesaler to the then Barking Dog Cafe and Ma’s Pizzeria in Lyons and then built out her first retail spot. Over the years, she outgrew several spaces before settling into the current location in Old Town Lafayette. Button Rock Bakery has become a fixture in the community over the past 11 years, not just for its delicious treats but also for its unwavering commitment to community support.

Community Engagement and Giving Back

One of the standout aspects of Button Rock Bakery is its commitment to giving back. Jamie has quietly supported various community initiatives, from donating over $10,000 to Marshall fire victims to fundraising for autism awareness. The bakery also engages in local events and partnerships, emphasizing that community support is at the core of its business values.

A Culinary Destination

Whether you’re craving a classic cannoli, a freshly made sushi roll, or a custom-designed wedding cake, Button Rock Bakery offers something for everyone. The menu includes daily delights like cinnamon rolls (gluten-free options available!), eclairs, and cupcakes that fly off the shelves. The bakery also caters to seasonal tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.

Looking Ahead: Catering and Special Events

As Button Rock Bakery & Kenny Lou’s Deli continue to evolve, they’re gearing up to expand their catering services and special event offerings. From cookie decorating sessions (known as cookies and canvas) to catering for weddings and corporate events, Button Rock Bakery is and will continue to be not just a bakery but also a culinary partner for any occasion.
