“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“

“I love the donuts and pastries here and have been going since I was a child! The raised glazed donuts and crunch donut holes are my favorites but all others are great too! The filled MN blueberry lemon and apple old fashioned were delicious on Friday!“

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

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

“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“

“The raspberry shortcake cupcake was AMAZING!“

“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.“

“Such a pleasant place to sit in the afternoon with a delicious coffee and a scone. Bring a book or a friend and relax.“

“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!“

“No lo recomiendo cuentan con un personal altamente inepto. No cumplen en sus órdenes te toman la orden y cuando el momento de tu fiesta llega ; una no encuentran tu nota y dos tampoco encuentran tu pastel y lo único que te saben decir es lo ciento no sabemos qué pasó .así que si no quieres que te pase lo que ami me pasó y tarde me di cuenta que les a pasado a otras personas lo mismo y en esta sucursal de la lake street en Minneapolis.tengan cuidado al elegir sino quieren quedar en ridiculo……“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food here is AMAZING. We used them for my bridal shower and everyone LOVED them!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Great food, coffee, and service!“

“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“

“This was my first time. my son Jrichol had been able to do alot of recordings here with Regal The Rare and others“

“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.“

“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“

“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 !“

I was in the mood for a lox sandwich today and wanted a really good one. I found it! Excellent bagel, a generous portion of lox, tomato, onion and capers! This will be my go-to place for bagels from now on! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“What an amazing bakery! We had some desert, they were delicious. And I bought, hands down, the best, most authentic European loaf of multigrain bread. I wish I lived closer to shop the bread regularly, but I will make it my stop when passing through.
Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“(Translated by Google) An amazing place. The people in the warehouse speak Spanish. They are amazing. The loader and the girl from the checking office were very friendly. The place is a bit tight for loading. So, you have to be a professional driver is there is any trailer. They load me in 25min. There you can see another truck waiting without being able to park because the place is tight. But you can do it. Thank you fellas.(Original)Un lugar increíble. Las personas del warehouse hablan español. Son increíble. Muy amables los loader y la muchacha del checking office. El lugar está un poco apretado para cargar. So, you have to be a professional driver is there is any trailer. They load me in 25min. Ahí pueden ver otro camión esperando sin poder parquear porque está apretado el lugar. But you can do it. Thank you fellas.“
