50 Best Bakeries near Arden Hills

“First time trying them and unfortunately forgot to get a receipt for the four pack to start gaining points. They certainly are delicious but the staff could Definitely be more helpful and friendly. The computers and boards were not working, and nobody seemed in a hurry to come to the front counter to assist us or the other two people standing there.“

“This Dunn Bros is so great. We regularly go here since moving to the area and love it! They have a great kids section, live music and a great amount of seating. They also have awesome staff. We were at this location today and accidentally spilled our drink and they were so kind about the accident and made us a new drink. Highly recommend this Dunn Bros!“

“Wow!! First time here and it did not disappoint!! Delicious!!“

“Black Walnut’s ham & gruyere croissant is a must try!! It’s so delicious and so buttery that it just melts in your mouth 😋

Their iced mocha is also definitely the best I’ve ever had, and that’s from someone who only gets iced mocha to drink in bakeries!“

“I’ve ate a TON of soft pretzels in my life and these were the absolute beat soft pretzels I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for try some more of their breads at the shop. 10/10 would recommend this place.“

“My girlfriend who isn’t GF loves this just as much as her fav non-GF bakeries in the city. Just go here and try it and you will be coming back all the time lol

Some suggestions for management:
- if there could be more DF options that would be awesome.
- being open on Sunday’s would also be awesome and I feel like it would be the busiest day of the week with people getting baked goods for the week“

“the food and bakery items are all so delicious!!“

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

“The BEST donut I've ever had! Hubby brought home two Blackberry Bliss to enjoy with our morning coffees; we savored every bite! Delicious!“

“This is a great place. The owners are cool and fun to talk to. The baked goods are very high quality and affordable. A lot of other bakeries have stuff that tastes like bland butter mixed with sugar but this place has very good flavor. Not too sweet, high quality ingredients. They also sell food such as sambusas, ful and tibbs which are fresh and tasty! The coffee is good too“

“Amazing. They had very delicious savory and sweet baked goods! High quality ingredients too. I am a loyal customer.“

“We discovered Cardigan Donuts on our way to the Target Center for the Bruce Springsteen concert via the City Center skywalk, so we came back the next morning. Holy delish! We’re so glad we did! We tried the Old Fashioned, glazed blueberry cake and the strawberry rhubarb filled Bismarck. All three were wonderful - beautifully crafted, genuine tastes of powdered sugar, fruit…just real ingredients. The staff were super friendly and we even got a discount for being first timers! Thank you, Cardigan Donuts! - Fans from eastern Iowa“

“We were in town this weekend and this place was close to our Airbnb, and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The staff were so friendly and accommodating, it felt more like stepping into someone’s home for a meal than it did a quick trip to a restaurant. The food was so good, from the baked goods to the breakfast burritos. Delicious coffee with cream and a clean and warm environment. Would recommend.“

“Delicious and always fresh! We go every weekend for empanadas and (not sure the name) sesame , brioche type bun with cream cheese and jalapeños. That is the best thing ever. Better than a bagel.
Thank you for your hard work and super friendly people!“

“There are many choices in the area for casual dining, but most often we choose THIS clean, well-maintained Perkins restaurant. Our favorite 5-star server is Laurie, who remembers us, greets us with a smile and thanks us whenever we show up. The chefs behind the scenes are consistent in every way: quality, preparation, portion, flavors, timing, and accuracy. Staff members work hard to keep the restaurant and bakery clean, well-stocked, and spiffy. You can't go wrong here!“

“Incredible bakery, people, and mission.

If you're looking for a crusty loaf with a lovely sourdough tang, this is a place to make regular stops. Always satisfying to have their bread for sandwiches, sopping up a hearty soup, or tearing off a chunk in the car too chew on.

Cardamom spinners and almond scones are recurring favorite sweet options. You can't go wrong with any of their offerings, and weekly rotating specials keep it interesting!“

“Tried their Dulce de Leche tiramisu for the first time at Kowalski’s, and it was great!“

“The cakes are delicious! The cream is light and fluffy, and the fresh fruit keeps everything refreshing without being too sweet. The cake has a great texture—soft yet substantial.
There is also a wide selection of croissants, all perfectly flaky and crispy.
A wonderful spot to grab coffee, enjoy pastries, and hang out with friends. It’s my always go to place.
Plus, tried the seasonal drink the blueberry matcha, tastes great, the berry and matcha blended well.“

“Milly does her thing she made my future wife's birthday cake. My wife loved it!

So she made our wedding cake. Had pictures taken.

She told us how she has been baking since at least 1992... and she had picked and chose whom she would she would handle regarding her baking.

We feel honored that she blessed us with our wedding cake (she could have decided the offer).

Our cake was delivered to our wedding with a slight amount of difficulty regarding location in all honesty. But the quality and delivery ended up good enough.“

“I stop by this restaurant for the first time a few days ago. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The staff member who took my order was friendly. She answered all my questions and made some suggestion. We ordered the Banh Mi Special and the Lemongrass Chicken, both were delicious, but our favorite was the lemongrass chicken. The bread was crispy, which made the meal well worth it. I recommend visiting this place! You won't regret it“

“Great food, wonderful service (baklava for us, because we were new customers.). This deli has been here for the many years I've lived in this area, and I'd never stopped in. Life has wonderful surprises, right here, right now.

Parking: Lots of parking in back“

“We ordered catering for a work event from here and was a HUGE hit! WE had 5 dozen cookies and 4 dozen bars, and at this point, even with only about 80 people, there's maybe a handful of each left and they will be gone before the end of the day. I will definitely order from them for personal and work events again. Andrea was so nice and helpful in getting us set up with such a large order and all of it was so good. The cookies are massive and soft and fresh and the pumpkin streusel bars were tender and flavorful. Really cannot express how happy we are with the service and quality.“

“Everything here is spectacular - can’t go wrong! Affordable, casual, cozy, great food and great staff. There’s a reason they’ve been in business for so long!

If you need something for a special occasion, try the marquise cake :)“

“I love this place! The bakery is fantastic, but I have to practice self control and not go in there every time I come to the grocery store. The grocery store side of the place is a colorful, beautiful, place that just makes me happy when I walk inside. They sell an array of items from cooking vessels, utensils, dishes, to a whole isle of inexpensive spices, fresh produce, meats, and many things specific to Central and South American cooking and cuisine. They have a breakfast/lunch counter with a seating area where you can order an array of authentic cuisine including tacos, beans and rice, burritos and more.“

“My first experience was at a Saturday event with scones catered this bakery. I went out of my way to get some for my drive out of town on Sunday. Seriously delicious. Light and not too flaky. Just the right amount of cherry and chocolate. (My favs). Get there early- they sell out!“

“I love my goodies. they are so yummy“

“Great food, coffee, and service!“

“We stopped by for the first time this weekend. We enjoyed our visit. The pastries are delicious, but I was a little disappointed with the gelato. I was expecting more. We will be back to try more pastries. I'm glad they offer free parking for their customers.“

“Love the Walnut, Raisin Rye bread. They will get you in and out quick so you can get home and enjoy- you can eat a delicious mini-brownie in the car. (The plastic bags they use still let the outer edges get dry, so grab them while fresh.) On weekends the fresh cinnamon and caramel rolls are worth getting up early to get while they're still warm. You can check their site to be sure they have what you want that day as they have rotating menus. Parking is good just east of the front door.“

“The Saint Paul location of Nothing Bundt Cakes is the BEST IN THE STATE!!! The Events and Wedding Manager, Barb, is a literal angel! She is so kind and accommodating, and went the extra mile with Wendy (the owner, another angel!) and other staff members to pack our bundtinis into 160 2-cupcake boxes so we could distribute them as “his and her favorite flavor” favors on the way out at the end of the night. The Nothing Bundt Cakes staff took such care to ensure that the bundtinis were placed properly and did not get smushed in transit and worked with our Day of Coordinator directly to pick them up the day of our wedding. The “his and her” bundtini boxes were a huge hit with our guests!“

“Cooks of Crocus Hill has excellent selection of pots, pans, and everything you’d need in the kitchen. Faiza helped me so much and was so sweet. Whether you like cooking, baking, or both, this is the place for you. Great staff with lots of cooking class options“

“Excellent meal great rice taste meat is so tender and fresh the kebab taste real good bread unbelievable just try it and you will know what I’m talking about mouth watering food“

“So cozy and sweet, delicious food and great service!“

“I buy their buys regularly at Mill City Farmers Market. Is there any better pie in the whole Twin Cities??? I don't believe so. I have tried MANY places. Vikings & Goddesses is so real, no fake ingredients. Fresh. Hand cut and served. VERY innovative varieties.“

“This was LONG overdue!!! I was looking for custom cookies for my baby shower and my close friend found Meghan so I decided to give her a try as her works looks amazing ! I do not regret one bit ! Meghan was very friendly and professional. She was very communicative and her prices are reasonable. She even delivers which makes me 100% more better especially if you have an event you're throwing and it's less stress and anxiety worrying about having to pick it up! I was a bit out of her delivery range but she was so sweet and was willing to deliver it to me for my first babyshower and that meant a lot to me and I'm very appreciative! The cookies came out sooo much more than I expected! I was flabbergasted when I seen them. There was soo many details and everything looked so adorable and cute. It was a lot better than what I expected and then more! I highly recommend her as she does amazing work!! Her work truly shows what amazing things she can do! I will recommend her to all my friends and family who needs cookies for events ! Hands down. Thank you for making oir special desert for our babyshower 🤍 we loved it soo much !! Picture doesn't do justice ! She is precise with her work and it shows ! Thank you Meghan !“

“This is a very quaint establishment. The atmosphere is nice; the staff is GREAT -Emphasis added! I couldn’t go much beyond this character point so… KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!“

“Had 5 things and split them!! All were great! Our top 3 are - #3 is the choc donut #2- is the cinnamon roll and #1 was the monkey bread! Also got the brownie and raspberry bar! Would definitely eat them again too!! I got a miele aswell and it was wonderful! Definitely will be back! Adding to our list of safe places!“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“The best cakes around. Fresh, perfectly decorated, and the perfect balance of flavors. Thank you for the cakes over the past 15+ years ❤️“
