29 Best Bakeries near Circle Pines

“Everything was excellent and the service was great. Really nice place to have coffee and visit.“

“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!“

“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.“

“So, I’ve had unpredictable bouts of constipation throughout my life. I remember receiving enemas that were meant for elderly individuals when I was 8 or 9. When I attended this restaurant, I haven’t had a bowel movement in around 2-3 days. Previously before that I required stimulant laxatives, which creates muscle contractions to force waste out of your anus. I tried a basic cheeseburger with a side of fries, and a raspberry peach iced tea. As soon as I finished my meal, I felt it. The rumbling that signals such an impending cloud of doom in your stomach, causing your heart to metaphorically drop 50 feet from my chest. I drove home, as I didn’t feel it appropriate to require Perkins to call in a biohazard crew to wall off the women’s restroom. Immediately I rushed down to the toilet, and unleashed hell. 3 days worth of regularly eaten-and-digested goodness exploded out of my bottom like a flood gate- It was indescribable the stench, it could probably harm a small child. Like not normal fecal matter, something radioactive and potent enough to kill a rodent. It was half liquid and half solid as it endlessly exited it’s swollen, dark tomb. I have never felt such relief, and from the most unlikely of places. Thank you, Perkins. May our stars cross again someday when I need to take a giant gorilla dump.“

“The cookies are amazing and delicious! They are a little pricey, but totally worth it! We love to get different cookies and split them so we can all get a taste. The service is quick and easy, and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend“

“I haven’t been but someone recently got me a Boston cream donut form here and half to say it was the best Boston cream filled donut Ive had. The cream was perfection. Boston cream tends to be too watery and not custardy enough. This was great though. It was perfect thickness and it had strong vanilla flavor with the signature custard taste. The donut itself was solid and it had the right amount of chocolate frosting. Would recommend!!“

“I hope all the employees are more friendly .need more customer service every time I walk in, they make me feel like don't come in. We don't want yours money. 😞that why we stop buying their bakery.“

“Super service by all servers, especially Byron. The food I have had is always delivered immediately and hot. The kitchen manager, Heather, ensures it is prepared correctly and very presentable. Manager Nancy keeps it flowing nicely. Hostess Designee seats us and takes our drink order. Eat here often and highly recommend it.“

“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“

“Very impressed with my server, Harrison. He was so polite and attentive to every person in his section. The food was great and came out quickly. I dined in (Chicken Tender Melt) and took a second order to go because I need those buttermilk pancakes in my life (BOGO Wednesdays - if you don't know about it, find out).
Thank you, Harrison! Keep up the good work and you'll go far. Be blessed!“

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.“

“Sandwich’s and desserts at a reasonable price, along with good staff. This place is a gem.“

“I had my birthday cake made at La Espiga. Tres leches cake for about 40 people. It was delicious, beautiful, and reasonably priced. And it was finished before the set time even though I ordered it a bit last minute. Highly recommend!“

“3 Leches has by far the best cakes. I personally prefer these cakes because they are moist and sweet, but not too sweet. You can also get them customized. They are perfection. Also, they sell chocolate crescents, which are a must have. Keep up the great work!“

“el original. pan ecuatoriano.con sabor cuenca no....unicolomejor“

“This feels like a converted bakers square with the long “greenhouse” section of seating.

When you first walk in you immediately see the pickup counter and a row of 3 iPads to order from. There’s a second counter where you can also order from an employee.

I was unfortunately fooled by the photo of bubble tea and didn’t realize I needed to add that separate so I was disappointed with a $6 boba-less tea. Still tasted good.

Went back for a classic Bhan-Mi. Bread was amazing (baked in house) and ingredients were fresh.

It was pretty busy Halloween Friday at 11:30 AM. Many pastries were already sold out so I’d order ahead!“

“Enjoyed the Salmon Avocado Wrap for lunch?“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“We had these for staff appreciation week at school ................ they were AMAZING! I wanted one of each flavor!“

“We haven't been to a Perkins in quite a few years. The one in our town closed. Terrible service! But we went to this Perkins, we were fortunate to have a gentleman named Bob wait on us. What a great guy! He was so friendly and so great at his job. He knew customer's names. It made our visit a good one and will be back because of Bob!“

“Took advantage of the 2x$1.00 churro sale today. OMG my staff and I loved them! They were hot, big, and sweet �. Totally satisfying! The lady behind the counter was super friendly! If you want deliciousness in your mouth, head over to Durango Bakery! ��“

“Inside the Maplewood Mall on the 2nd floor by the food court. Nice and fast service.Not a long wait. Just grabbed a 6 pack regular size rolls for $23.99.They do charge for extra frosting cup of a dollar each, which I feel is a little pricey. But overall it wasn't a bad experience and there was no wait time.“

“Recent given a bag of these. Super convenient that they came frozen so that we could bake them whenever we wanted. The sprinkle and coffee toffee cookies were AMAZING. Obviously homemade and delicious! Seriously can’t wait to treat myself to more“

“Nothing Bundt Cakes was a total hit at our wedding! Our guests absolutely loved them, and we made sure to offer a great variety so there was something for everyone. For my husband and me, we chose the tiered drizzle cake, and it was both beautiful and delicious. I’ve always been a big fan of Nothing Bundt Cakes, so it only made sense to include them on such an important day. Highly recommend!“

“Kind woman helped us- best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had! Highly recommend“

“The service was friendly and efficient for my take out order. Please note: On top of regular menu prices, they charge you an extra fee for packaging takeout even though Dining in requires dishes and waitress service... And maybe even to-go boxes. The takeout meal was over $40 for 2 people with no beverages.“

“The coconut cream bun has changed my life it is actually the best thing I’ve ever had and I wake up thinking about it a lot. I live 50 minutes away and have to drive out every few months just to grab some of them I highly recommend trying them“

“I love their pretzels so much that even a slow or negative employee experience I would probably still rate them 5 stars. This time i had a great experience all the way around. food was hot and fast, employees were friendly. I am sure I will be back.“

“Very kind and helpful customer service for my first time there. Absolutely delicious cinnamon roll with butter cream frosting! Made from scratch it was so gooey, warm, cinnamon and buttery delicious 😍 melted right in my mouth with every sweet bite! Great mimosas to go with as well with it!! Absolutely 10/10 will be returning sometime. Cheers! 🥂🍮“
