50 Best Bakeries near Fridley

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“The best bakery in the whole world.

As one of the best bakeries in the whole world, and one that my family has loved for years, it was a no brainer to order from them when it came to provide food for my grandma's funeral.

I remember walking in to pick up our (very large) order and realizing that I had the wrong pick up time. The pastries were far from ready. Given the grief of the day, I am confident I wasn't a pleasant customer, and I'm confident I didn't take responsibility for my mistake. And yet, rather than send me on my way, the owner and her employees took basically every pastry they had on the shelving and gave it to me, likely at the expense of their current business and their current customers. They then helped me bring my order to my car, and when I offered to help them carry some boxes, the owner told me she didn't want me to get my suit dirty. She said she was sorry for my loss and then went back inside.

The pastries were a hit, but they wouldn't have been possible without Black Walnut's kindness. This review is a thank you and an apology. Thank you for your kindness. I am sorry I was so out of it.

Given the extremely high quality of their food and taste at a more than reasonable price, Black Walnut is an extremely easy bakery to fall in love with. Coupled with their kindness and warmth, there really is no place on Earth that compares.“

“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“

“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 was watching the show Taste Buds and they were at Laune Bread. Everything looked amazing and I had to check it out! Lots of variety and delicious! Will definitely be going back!“

“always tasty and quality. love the friendly and quick staff. Vietnamese coffee can be too sweet for me but they'll adjust it for you.“

“Ginny Bites treats make your tongue happy and her food warms your heart! The space is so cute and I love the extra items for sale!“

“Been many years since I've stepped foot into a Perkins since the closed the location near me.
Great service from the host, server, and manager.
Food came out quickly and was prepared as requested. The tremendous 12 was still as good as I remembered.
Much better in all comparison to the previous location I used to visit.“

“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 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!!“

“working with her was absolute pleasure. she met all of my needs and made an incredible cake for me highly recommend her for any of your cake pastry needs!!“

“This bakery is a true gem for the north metro. The care given to producing their products is evident in every item. I've had their pastries and cookies (good coffee too!) and I am looking forward to trying their meals. Let's support this wonderful place and try it and then tell your friends!!“

“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 very rarely give five stars across the board for everything. But this place was wonderful. The food was good and priced appropriately. The service staff bright and engaging. And the atmosphere was just fun. And I do like that. There were all types of people welcome here. That made everyone feel included. When we were there, they were young and old, gay and straight, and everybody in between all getting along, enjoying delicious coffee and ice cream.“

“Ten out of five stars!!! We requested a custom Jellycat birthday cake, and they delivered with the cutest, most delicious cake EVER. ❤️❤️“

“Crumbl is honestly such a fun place to go if you love sweet treats. The cookies are huge, super soft, and the weekly rotating flavors keep things exciting. Personally, I think the cookies taste amazing, but they can be very sugary. They’re perfect as an occasional treat, but definitely not something to eat every single day—too much and you might feel sick. Overall, Crumbl is a great spot for anyone with a sweet tooth, just best enjoyed in moderation!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“THE BEST macarons around. So flavorful and a large variety to choose from. You will not be disappointed. Yum!!“

“I give it a 10/10. Great selection and service. My daughter thought this was such a fun place to visit!“

“This pastry started like a dream—perfectly flaky, buttery layers, and almonds that made me question if I’d entered a pastry utopia. But then… the raspberry jam. Why, pastry gods, why would anyone ruin such a masterpiece with that tart, sticky disaster?

This was a gift but after the emotional trauma I endured, I’m pretty sure I’m entitled to a refund.

My dog wouldn’t even go near this, and she will eat ANYTHING.“

“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……“

“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 !“

“(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.“

“The best buns I've ever had. Highly recommend. Service is top notch.“

“I love the work they do. And of course, yummy cookies!“

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

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

“My husband picked up lunch for us 8/23/24 and we enjoyed our meal. My BLT and fries was perfect:) Bacon was very crisp with fresh fresh veggies:) Thanks so much“

“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!“

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

“Baguettes are among my favorites Kouign Aman was something comparable to a honey bun with a way to hard candy shell. Living in Normandy I will say “kouign aman is a labor of love. It can be great or not good, no in between!! Being here I was really missing it. I’ve tried many here in MN and one place has totally blown my mind but the hours are so up and down. Please take your time on a masterpiece patisserie such as the kouign aman!!!!“

“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!“

“Wonderful pastries, cakes, coffee, and Sebastian Joe's ice cream. Space is a too big for a comfortable hangout but great for larger meetings. More soup or sandwich offerings could draw more traffic. Staff is friendly and accomodating. They are also the rare bakery open for after dinner coffee and desert!“

“Great donuts! They were a hit for my son’s 3rd birthday party! We got a variety of all three assortments!“

“I brought in a cake topper. Asked if they could create a design based off the topper. They nailed it! The design was perfect and the cake tasted amazing!“

“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! ��“

“I have had the pleasure of patronizing this shop on a few occasions. First of all, the food is spectacular! Customizing your purchase is assumed and welcomed. The staff is quite knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating. If you're looking for a tres leche cake to die for, this is the place to visit.“

“This is a place you’ll get hooked on. From the Waygu burger, Salmon Sandwich to their baked goods. I bought a brioche loaf and made the most amazing French toast from it. Very worth a visit for breakfast and lunch!“

“Found them at the Kingfield Farmers’ Market and saw a seeded loaf. Made them listen to my story of enjoying something similar visiting my uncle in Sonoma County years ago. They were very patient with me and my ramblings. Bought the loaf, brought it home, and immediately made some toast. It was perfect. The best I’ve had since all those years ago having breakfast in my uncle’s kitchen. I’m so happy!!!!“

“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!“

“A customer first experience, above and beyond! I called last minute, valentine's morning with a shot in the dark request for a safe day delivery. I pretty much assumed it was a “no way!” due to the standard chaos of Valentine’s Day, already scheduled things, etc.

No hesitation was made while obliging my late request. Not only was Pat beyond gracious is making it happen, but just a great human offering the type of service we rarely see these days…efficient, kind, and happy to make things happen.

The recipients LOVED the cookies and I wouldn’t bat an eye to call again. Top notch!“

“The macarons are absolutely delicious. I especially loved the birthday cake flavor. Also, one of sweetest, loveliest families.“
