36 Best Bakeries near Circle Pines

“My kiddos and I were seeking out new local bakeries to try, and Kingdom popped up on our radar! We arrived close to closing time, but were treated to kindness as my 12 year old kept saying "Chocolate chip cookies!" in my ear, the 7 year old reminding me for the last chocolate donut with sprinkles, and my oldest kiddo staring in awe at the drink selections. Both gentlemen were super friendly. The pastries were EXQUISITE. The salted caramel donut is HEAVENLY. The scones melted in our mouths. The berry crisp bar was absolutely delightful! Next time we come for treats, we'll do it earlier in the day, and be able to enjoy some delicious coffee or Chai. Can't wait! :) Thank you!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I grew up on heights bakery donuts and will forever believe no one will beat their raised glaze. So heartbroken to hear of their closing😭“

“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“

“THIS IS NO RUN-OF-THE-MILL, REGULAR-SHMEGULAR BAKERY!!! This bakery has the BEST pies and donuts you’ve ever tasted in your whole entire life. I know what you’re thinking, “How good can pie really be? Is it really THAT much better than a gas station donut?” Well, I promise you that the baked goods at this establishment are truly exceptional. In fact, we moved almost an hour away and still drive back to use this bakery for special occasions. I only wish their hours of operation were better (after work on weekdays and longer on weekends!) Try the strawberry rhubarb pie or crunch donut holes, but you really can’t go wrong here.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“What an exceptionally unique place.

Excellent selection of flavors, although I suspect there may not be much that's "natural" about the colors and flavors.

But for an occasional treat, they are fantastic! No shortage of sweetness, and the texture was to die for.

There are some reviews that mention a less than stellar texture which should only be the case if you wait a day or more to eat them.

I ordered two 10-packs as gifts and a bag of 4 of their "broken" macarons to try.
Day 1: INCREDIBLE.
Day 2: not so incredible. They seemed to dry out quickly. But if you eat same day, I am confident you will not be disappointed!

We will be return customers.“

“I love the quality of goods as well as the prices! It’s my favorite shopping experience! The staff are so helpful and positive! Thank you! Oh, the gas prices rock, too!“

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

“I couldn’t love this place more!!! Great atmosphere, meeting room, and a large “kid room” with comfy furniture, toys and books so your kids can play while you enjoy a coffee date with friends! Best of all is their support for addiction recovery. A fabulous coffee shop that gives back to the community! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“I ordered a bee cake and some small desserts for my daughter's birthday, and let me tell you that they were very delicious, I loved them and the design of the cake surprised me a lot, thank you for everything, I loved it ?? Super Recommended.“

“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!“

“I went for lunch while in the area of Rosedale Mall.
When you enter the building, it's not clear which line to enter. They have tablets at one counter, then a server at another counter.
There were no fountain drinks, but you can buy a bottled soda and ask for a glass with ice. A water dispenser is available, but no ice unless you ask for it. I know, it's a small thing, but I like ice in my sodas.
Food options and portions were good. People seemed to enjoy their meals.
Dining area has a good number of tables, and there's also bar seats for single diners.“

“The Salted Cake is amazing! We used them for a birthday cake recently and they knocked it out of the park! The cake looked beautiful and tasted fantastic! My only regret was that we didn’t get a picture before devouring it! We’ll definitely be using them for any future cake needs!“

“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! ��“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I love the Blaine location! Super nice employees, attentive, and have been super patient with me when I have forgot my pick up order a few times lol. We have used them for every work or holiday celebration and their cakes are always a hit. 10/10 recommend!! ❤️“

“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“

“Had an amazing mango sago from here today - rich creamy, lots of sago and fresh mango bits. I was surprised to find they also had a wall of really fresh Asian pastries that I will be back for. The lady at the front was also very friendly and nice. I think this is going to be a regular place for me from now on!“

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

“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.“

“The meal was delicious, eggs benedict, hash browns, and a mammoth muffin. My surprise was, they have a fresh strawberry custard pie that is almost as good as baker's square , fresh strawberry cream cheese pie that is available only seasonally, only if you can find a baker square conveinately around anymore.“

“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.“

“Solomon's Bakery is a regular at the Linden Hills Farmers' Market on Sundays. Every week I'm impressed by their high quality and creative pastries/treats/loaves. This week they had the most delicious pineapple sweet roll - please make this one again!“

“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! 🥂🍮“

“Walking distance from the Rose Gardens of Lake Harriet. You're going to love the pastries , the staff and the coffee.“
