where It all began

After graduating from College - Jen finds herself running a catering company and learning more about food & nutrition. Quickly, she takes over a cafe in Basalt, CO where she serves up some of the best coffee, pastries, soups, & sandwiches in town - she names it “Jen’s Cafe.”

a bar Is born

She notices that guests of her cafe were loving an energy bar she had created. After a few years hundreds of bars have been made, sampled, tasted, and perfected! Jen hangs up the coffee apron to pursue the bar business. The business picks up popularity as Jen finds the three favorite flavors - Almond Butter, Peanut Butter, & Pumpkin Seed Butter (Cashew Butter came later).

the rest Is history

After 15 years of hand making our bars, Jen’s Cafe Bars has upgraded to manufacturing to keep up with the demand. It's the same clean, delicious energy scaled up to help people fuel up across the United States and beyond!

Where jen is today

Jen is now working on nation wide distribution, focusing on companies that share similar values with clean label products. You can find her at different pop up events all around Colorado or out on the trails with her beloved pup.
