Griddled Crêpes & Paninis Opens at Outlets at Castle Rock

Griddled Crêpes & Paninis opened to the public Friday, May 8, 2026 on the outer strip of the Outlets at Castle Rock, Suite 175 along 1st Street.

It's a new family-owned shop from Bri and Jacob Blaylock — the same family that runs the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Café in Suite 820 at the Outlets, the first RMCF café concept in the United States, open since 2018. Griddled is their second concept at the same outlet center, about a 10-minute walk along the outer strip from the chocolate cafe.

The shop's tagline: Peak Flavor, Pressed to Perfection.

Location & Hours

Address: 5050 Factory Shops Blvd, Suite 175, Castle Rock, CO 80108

How to find it: Outer strip of the Outlets at Castle Rock, along 1st Street. Per Griddled's site: "Find us on the outer strip of the Outlets at Castle Rock, suite 175 along 1st Street. Park, walk in, and eat something good." Walk-in directly from the parking lot — no need to enter the main outlet center.

Hours: Monday – Saturday 10:00am – 8:00pm | Sunday 11:00am – 6:00pm

A grand opening is expected later in June; the Blaylocks are open for business and serving the full menu now.

What to Expect

Two main lanes — handcrafted crepes (sweet and savory) and pressed paninis on ciabatta — plus custom espresso drinks, smoothies, and a wide specialty-drink lineup. From griddledco.com:

"Griddled started with a family, a passion for handcrafted food, and a community worth showing up for. We make everything fresh, every day, because we believe the people of Castle Rock deserve more than ordinary."

The Blaylocks are well-established at the Outlets — eight years running RMCF Café before launching this second concept.

A useful menu wrinkle: most savory recipes are offered as either a crepe or a panini — same recipe, two formats. Order Buffalo Ridge folded into a house crepe, or pressed on ciabatta. Same for Trailblazer Club, Castlewood Bacon, Cabin Caprese, and Mount Cristo.

The Menu

A clear Castle Rock / mountain naming theme runs through the savory side of the board:

Gluten-free

Griddled keeps a separate dedicated griddle for gluten-free crepes — confirmed via the @griddled.co Instagram reel walking through the recipe. Per the post: "Light, fluffy, and made on a separate crepe griddle to keep cross-contamination to an absolute minimum."

Kids menu, salads, sides

Kids menu covers grilled cheese panini, PB&J in either format, ham & cheese in either format, cinnamon-sugar crepe, and plain crepe. Caesar and Chicken Caesar salads. Chips by the bag (salt & vinegar, BBQ, spicy dill pickle, jalapeño cheddar, sea salt). Cookies and brownies in the case.

Coming June 10 — Crêpe-Making Class

Per Griddled's Instagram, the team is hosting a Sweet & Savory Crêpe Cooking Class on June 10, taught by Emma and Aaron — basic batter, cooking technique, and choose-your-own fillings.
