50 Best Bakeries near Golden Valley

“A great experience at this Golden Valley location. Consistently good food for this type of long-term restaurant chain. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, the food arrived at our table in a short amount of time, and the value was good. We also enjoyed the menu variety.
Suggestion to corporate: Bring back the Triple Berry Syrup! Excellent! Luv Perkins!!“

“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!“

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

“Came on a Saturday at 2pm and was a little sad to see that they didn’t have any of the vegan loaves of bread, but did get a baguette (contains egg) and it was realllllly good. Everyone knows that gluten free bread is not the same as gluten-filled bread, but this baguette had a nice amount of crunch to the outside and it was perfect with soup. Wish they had more vegan options available as not everyone in our family can have dairy and eggs. But absolutely will be back to hopefully snag some more gf goodies again soon!“

“The $5 cookie isn't worth it? Well maybe as a gift I usually just bake my chocolate chip cookies from the store in my oven and they're just as good. But if you like fancy weird cookies they change their cookies all the time now that's kind of cool and for a gift people do appreciate getting them. But for a cookie you'll have to take out a mortgage I think a box of cookies is probably like 30 bucks or something like that I only got one cookie and it was like $4 or something. But like I said for a gift for your employees, for a friend, someone that's sick, it is a really nice gift to give and to receive. So I recommend it for this purpose not because you're craving a cookie cuz that'll be an expensive crave.

Parking: It's a little strip mall with like four other shops You park right out front and just walk right in.“

“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.“

“Came upon this charming little bakery after walking around Lake Bde Maka Ska during a recent visit to Minneapolis and so glad we did.

We almost missed it, as it's in a nondescript office building and from the outside looks like a dentist's office. But once you step inside, it's warm and charming and full of friendly people and excellent baked goods.

I'm a particular fan of Kouign-amann, and wherever I find it, I have to try it. Black Walnut's is lovely - flaky and sweet and buttery without being greasy. They have a classic and a Raspberry Passion Fruit which is definitely worth the extra calories. I also had a Croque Monsieur, so I can say their bread is also lovely. The coffee and service were both good and the pastry case left us wishing we'd be in Minneapolis longer. Looking forward to trying the excellent looking Pan de Suisse next time.“

“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“

“Whenever we have special occasions at work the first place I call is Heights Bakery Inc. and ask for a few dozen, their choice. My employees love them!“

“I brag about my Crumbl location because it’s always 10/10! The manager is so nice and he always ensures each cookie is perfect. Never had a bad experience here. Truly the BEST location, would go out of my way to buy from here over the 3 other locations near me.“

“Thank you for an amazing pumpkin pie! Can’t wait to try everything else. It was so exciting to walk into a place where I can eat everything! Thank you from a celiac!!“

“I have been attending for 20 years. The staff has turned over many times. Food is always perfect. Staff is the variable. I have two worthy of particular honors. They are Cathy and Shannon. Pin gold medals on the both. Don't let them leave until they are much too old. They make Perkins for me“

“The best cheesecake I’ve ever had & in the most amazing flavors!“

“Best egg - cheese - bacon biscuit around. Neighborhood gem❤️“

“The food is almost always great. Every once in a while, you get a subpar dish or item, but it's very rare. Their fries are freakin awesome, just the right amount of salt and pepper seasoning. They have one of the top three pancakes out there... you don't even need syrup or butter they're so good.
Service can be hit or miss, this last time was fantastic... outstanding service.
The atmosphere is generally okay, nothing special... though it is almost always quiet, which is great.“

“Just enjoyed the over 55 pot roast dinner and it was delicious!“

“Vegan East is renowned for its delectable Carrot Cake, which is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their cupcakes come in a variety of mouth-watering flavors, including Cookie Dough and Red Velvet. Don't miss their Gluten Free Cosmic Brownies – they're a perfect treat for any brownie lover. What's more, all their treats are 100% vegan, meaning they are free from any animal products. This makes Vegan East a fantastic destination for those who follow a plant-based diet or anyone looking to enjoy delicious, cruelty-free goodies. If you're in Minneapolis, make sure to stop by Vegan East and treat yourself – your taste buds will thank you!“

“There could be a little bit of music playing in the background, to create a little bit more of an atmosphere.

The day old donuts tasted great even when I ate them a day after I bought them. Yum.

Since they open at 5am, you'd better get there quick before they sell out if your favorite.

Skip the trip to Starbucks, because they sell coffee here too!

Lovely little space inside the storefront to browse their selection of pastries.

Cordial staff, ready to gather your selections.

The main entrance is wheelchair accessible, and there are no steps or bumps inside.

There is a free parking lot right across the street, usually has a few open spaces.

The street also has parking spaces along both sides.

Kid-friendliness: Stroller accessible, and kids would probably enjoying coming here to get a treat.

Wheelchair accessibility: The front door is wheelchair accessible, and so is the store inside.“

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

“Outstanding mini cupcakes!!! Hands down amazing! Your attention to detail in decoration and taste is like non other! Wowzer!!! Amy you are amazing - you were such a joy to meet today!!! 🧁“

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

“We chose Queen of Cakes for our wedding dessert after trying their vegan chocolate cake at a friend’s wedding (it was delicious by normal cake standards, not to mention vegan!).

They were very friendly and easy to work with throughout the whole process; their wedding cake trial is affordable and convenient, and so is ordering and pick-up. We got filled sheet cakes of the vanilla with tripleberry mousse, chocolate with amaretto mousse, and vegan chocolate with raspberry, and a two-tier chocolate with chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache. (The last flavor was suggested by Terry when I asked her for the “chocolatest” flavor, and I am so grateful!) My friend picked them up from the shop on the day of the wedding, which was also so easy.

Our only mix-up was that the chocolate amaretto sheet cake was “lost” by our catering team who cut it and served it, and potentially grouped it with the vegan cake on the dessert table. I don’t know what the labels on the cakes looked like, but I wanted to let you know of the mix-up we had so you can consider it in future packaging/labeling decisions!

Beyond that snafu, though: every flavor was delicious, we got so many compliments, and the servings are generous. Thank you! You truly are the Queen!

Dietary restrictions: They make a really nice vegan chocolate cake (I didn't try their vanilla). They do make gluten-free cakes, but they are not celiac-safe.“

“Dropped my teen off for a nearby brunch and decided to stop by to check it out while in the neighborhood. The morning bun was the flakiest and most tasty I've ever had, and their Chai is incredible. Combine great food with kind and efficient staff, and I'll definitely be wandering over again! Thank you!“

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

“My wife is GF, we purchased a dozen cupcakes for her BDay. It was great being able to get a variety instead of a dozen of 1 flavor. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. A very cute store and most of all the cupcakes were delicious!

Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable on GF. Though they are made in the same kitchen, my wife has celiac and is very sensitive. She had not issues with the cupcakes and thought they were delicious“

“Fantastic pastries in many varieties. None of the staff were French LOL. Staff doesn't understand English well. I wanted a glass of milk which caused them to become verklempt and they eventually serve me steamed milk! A fairly small place with limited seating.“

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

“This place is excellent and everyone is so sweet too!“

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

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

“I want to thank the staff at this Perkins for their efficient waiters and supporting members. I called two weeks prior to set up an area for 20 people. My husband had passed and we were having a family breakfast before everyone left to return to their homes. They kindly had it set up when we got there. The waiter, Joel, did an amazing job of taking care of us. With the help of two other waiters we were well taken care of by them. They served the kids first, which all the parents appreciated very much. I told Joel I wanted the check. He then helped me navigate through the card machine. He asked me what this celebration was for, Birthday, anniversary? I told him no, it was for a Celebration of my husband life. Said he was sorry for my loss and gave me a hug. Thank you for the great service and for accommodation. Blessings to all“

“Amazing breakfast sandwich ☑️ Great coffee ☑️ Friendly staff ☑️ Check this place out!“

“The best cookie shop in all of downtown. They are always so flipping soft and sweet (well the ones i choose are) and it's really hard to have just one. My favorites are the chocolate chip and the double chocolate sea salt. Delicious. And they are a staple of downtown, I remember coming here in the late 90s when I was still in high school, they know what they're doing.

Parking: Plenty of parking, but its all paid. Its cheaper if you can find street parking.“

“When I look through all of my wonderful wedding photos, I see so much love, family and beauty. Then I look at one of my most favorite photos, my new husband looking at the breathtakingly gorgeous Angel Food Bakery cakes.

They were so beautiful that I almost didn’t want us to cut them! (smile)

Char and her amazing staff really went above and beyond to make our showpiece spectacular.

The ordering process was precise and easy to do. The website walked you through the order process.

Angel Food Bakery thank you for providing us with delicious cakes for our wedding. They were tall, majestic, so beautifully decorated and delivered with care!

We had cut into the rainbow tower cake and there was an excited gasp when the vivid colors appeared!

What a moment to remember!

Thanks again our best wishes to you.

Jerry And Gary“

“I have lived in this neighborhood for 40 years and cannot believe that I did not know that this wonderful restaurant has been here for two years already!! 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“(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.“

“We purchased two dozen cookies online and had a gift card for a third dozen

For some reason their gift cards were not working online, so we went in the store to pick up and they were not working in store either.

We needed to pick up the cookies to deliver to our daughter for her birthday for her soccer team.

The manager on duty, let us take the cookies and trusted that I had the correct amount on the gift card.

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

this was on October 2 Wednesday, So whoever the young lady was on duty gets the credit for going above and beyond.“

“Amazing breakfast sandwich ☑️ Great coffee ☑️ Friendly staff ☑️ Check this place out!“

Awesome service and awesome cookie cake.The cake is kinda punny, but then so is the sense of humor who it was for.Great job Baking Betty's“

“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……“
