Breakfast at Persephone’s – Jackson, Wyoming

Breakfast at Persephone Bakery, the much-acclaimed, highly stylish boulangerie and café in Jackson, Wyoming, is pretty much all it’s cracked up to be. Old-town shabby chic, and housed in what appears to be a Victorian single-storey wooden building, Persephone is nestled amongst towering trees, just a few steps off the main square. But before we tuck into breakfast, a few words on what brought us to this stunning part of the world in the first place.

I’m embarrassed to admit, that in my 20 years of living in the U.S. I have barely touched-down in the middle of the country. A couple of business trips to Austin; Dallas years ago, and that’s about it. So when my dear yoga teacher, Stephanie Snyder, announced she was going to be teaching yoga at a horse ranch in Wyoming this summer, I knew it was a sign from the universe to rectify this state of affairs. I mean, horses and yoga and big open spaces… what else is needed for an amazing vacation?

I decided to make the most of our journey to this hither-to unexplored state, and booked a few extra days  in and around Jackson Hole. As usual, I started to friend-source tips on great places to eat, and Persephone Bakery came up a number of times.

So on morning #1, bleary-eyed from a late-night arrival and without any sense of our bearings, I plugged Persephone into Google Maps and followed the directions blindly. And what a soothing place for the soul and senses this little bakery is. Don’t be put off by the line at the door, it moved quite quickly. Grab a menu to peruse as you enter and if you can possibly make up your mind, your turn to drool at the counter will soon come.

Pastries are flaky, sticky and sweet at Persephone.

If you’re smart, you’ll grab a loaf of bread to take home and enjoy later. When I inquired about gluten-free breads, I was told that the locally milled wheat was generally better tolerated by  those who found gluten tough to digest.

Fresh baked loaves are available to take home.

We opted for drinks, a cheese and ham croissant ($4.25) for Monkey and a traditional breakfast for me ($10.75). Sitting outside on the tree-shaded deck, savoring our breakfast and people watching in a slightly cool morning, was just a great way to begin our stay in Jackson.

There are lots of thoughtful touches to the interior design, including the cubbies where you pick up your coffee order.

Once you’re done eating you can peruse the shelves of delights: locally crafted pottery, housemade ‘nutella’ and preserves. You’ll want to buy souvenirs for sure.

A little bit of our dressage and SJ action from th A little bit of our dressage and SJ action from the weekend @twinrivershorsepark - Q and I were either great or mediocre during dressage to give us a 36.4 which made it hard to be competitive, but the goal was to finish on our dressage score and feel confident all weekend ✅. We moved up 4 places over the weekend and jumped double clear in both SJ and XC for a top 10 finish. Our rhythm and timing in SJ was probably our best yet. #eventing #areavi #comeback

He was relaxed (shocker!), said yes to everything and although he wanted to shred up the track he listened and was a very good boy 😍😍😍 - so happy with him and I think he had the best day ever 🙌  Looking forward to showing him at @woodsidehorsepark in Oct! #xc #eventing #eventinghorse
My little pocket 🚀 was on 🔥today! I couldn’t have been happier. We jumped all the Training things and tackled some challenging questions. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs since losing some confidence. At one point in June I froze jumping a x-rail 🤷‍♀️. But we have fought our way back, filling in gaps and ultimately our partnership has become even stronger. I’m so proud of her. I have lots of work to do to be fully deserving of this brave girl, but after a day like today it feels like we could conquer anything! (Except dressage 😂 - but we are working on that too!) #eventing #eventinghorse #xc #morganmare #comeback

I would choose them both every time. It’s defin I would choose them both every time.  It’s definitely not easy having two horses and one rider. But I am going to make it work as long as I possibly can because they are part of me. 😍 Can you have two ❤️ horses for different reasons? Because I might have just got that lucky.
It makes me so happy to see Rogee fit, strong and It makes me so happy to see Rogee fit, strong and enjoying his rehabbed body. He’s really learning what he’s can do with himself these days physically and it’s also really rewarding to see his personality shift down a few gears to a generally more relaxed state… #goodboy
