Colette Bread and Bakeshop

"If you're strolling down Poncey-Highland and catch a whiff of baking bread, then follow that smell into Colette's. Inside the small bakery, you'll see your future strawberry danish in progress: workers knead dough and pull trays from the oven. The offerings change frequently, but if the giant sour cream cinnamon roll is available, get it. And know that Colette's is the kind of bakeshop where you can't go wrong, especially since a lot of their pastries incorporate fresh fruits (sweet brioche tarts overflowing with housemade strawberry fillings) and vegetables (think spicy shishito pepper scones). photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair" - Juli Horsford

"It’s not unusual to see a line of stroller-wielding locals curving out the door of this Poncey-Highland bakery on weekends. And when you see them exiting with fresh loaves of bread and giant cinnamon rolls topped with sour cream icing, take it as a sign to do the same. Colette incorporates fresh fruits (brioche tarts overflowing with sweet strawberry fillings) and vegetables (deliciously spicy shishito pepper scones) into their baked goods. The order counter sits just in front of the open kitchen, so you’ll get a front row view of a team of bakers kneading dough and pulling trays of freshly baked pastries out of the oven." - juli horsford

"After running her micro-bakery and bread delivery service Bread is Good from a communal kitchen in Inman Park, baker Sarah Dodge is finally opening a permanent bakery of her own. Located in the small retail strip next door to the former Highland Inn on North Highland Avenue, Colette Bread will serve as home base for Dodge’s wholesale pastry and bread-making operation and will include retail space for on-site purchases. Dodge raised over $100,000 from several investors through crowdsourcing loan platform Honeycomb to gain the necessary funds to open Colette Bread. The design of the bakery is being handled by Atlanta-based Square Feet Studio. Colette Bread, part of the Otto’s Apartment Hotel redevelopment, is expected to open some time this fall." - Beth McKibben

"Baker Sarah Dodge sells loaves of sourdough, sourdough bagels, and bready pastries at pop-ups and farmers markets and offers a weekly bread subscription. Dodge moves into a permanent location soon on North Highland Avenue to open bakery Colette Bread." - Beth McKibben
