50 Best Bakeries near Golden Valley

“A friend and I visited this Perkins in Golden Valley since we’re now 56 and had never ordered off the 55+ menu.

I ordered the chicken fried steak off the 55+ menu, which includes two sides. Had the fruit cup and buttered corn. Chicken fried steak was great. All the fruit except the few grapes tasted good, and the corn was spot on.

We also grew up a mile from this location, so it was fun to visit.“

“super nice staff. rolls are fabulous!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Their pastries were fantastic. I loved a spinach and pastry that was absolutely delicious. It was super busy (went on a Saturday morning) so next time I will probably get everything to go. I'm dying to try their croissant bread, I'll have to pick up a loaf next time.“

“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“

“Northeast MPLS- what a fantastic find, this is truly a small town bakery, small batch production. Their reputation is their best PR! We tripped upon it, while on a quest this weekend to support SMALL/LOCAL businesses in MPLS.

Definitely recommend the apple fritter, no canned apples there! The lemon bars, peanut butter donuts and glazed donuts all thumbs up. New to me was the Paczkis. They stole the show in my book.

As if the pastries weren’t enough to bring us back (and they definitely are) the price was amazing! 6 “donuts” less than $17… Light, fluffy, DELICIOUS, good thing we live 5 hrs away, I’d be there everyday!

If you haven’t found Sarah Jane’s yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ? I’m a donut snob, never been a fan of chain store donuts; you can tell the difference between mass production and small batch, small batch will always win the gold medal! Sarah Jane’s rates as top 3 apple fritter of all time for me…“

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

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

“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“

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

“I’ve gone to this particular location countless times. It’s easily the most convenient one, especially if you order carryout from the app. You’ll only be waiting for a few minutes at the most before you get your cookies. Will always return to the 101/7 location.“

“Amazing pastries and cakes! For my loved ones with celiac, it is so comforting going to a place that is completely gluten free, no worries about cross contamination or an innocent mistake. And the food does not disappoint. Highly recommend for everyone, not just those who eat gluten free! ⭐️“

“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!!! 🧁“

“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.“

“This is a nice spot for desserts!
Lots of different flavor cupcakes that catch your eye upon entering
They do themed speciality cakes/cupcakes too and even pup cakes for your special doggies!
The owner won the food network challenge cupcake wars many years ago and is also a famous author!
Plenty of parking available, efficient and friendly staff“

“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“

“I got a free cookie on my birthday. I just have the app and showed that I downloaded. It didn’t even need to show my drivers license and then I bought an extra cookie for a friend I was with. The employee was helpful, friendly and I got my order within minutes. Very easy purchase“

“I don't normally write reviews unless I get bad service. But I find this Perkins in Maple Grove MN to be Awesome. This is my families Perkins of choice passing by two others much closer Perkins just to go to the Maple Grove location. Our server Taylor was attentive, polite and very in tune to our groups needs. She is and example of what a waitress or waiter should be. The food was great and the building / bathroom cleanliness was expletory. My hats off to the manager and staff of the Maple Grove Perkins just south of 694 on Hemlock Lane.“

“Wonderful tasting cakes! Absolutely LOVE them. I have gotten one for a girlfriend every year for her b-day the past 5 years! ❤️🎂“

“It was our first time visiting Tous Les Jours. They have an incredible variety of sweet and savory treats. When you first come in, you grab a tray and tongs then get each pastry item you want. There are additional cakes and macarons in the refrigerator counters where you pay. There, you can order coffee and have any items warmed up. Our food was pretty good, the coffee was really good.“

“Tried their Dulce de Leche tiramisu for the first time at Kowalski’s, and it was great!“

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

“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……“

“Thank you so much for the beautiful cookie arrangement that your team created for me. Lauren/manager worked closely with me to personalize the cookie selection & design ideas. My niece was delighted with the bouquet of sweet treats… the perfect gift to celebrate her hard work & achievements to-date, and wish her all the best on her upcoming advanced placement exams & high school finals. Customer service was excellent, and the cookies were adorable & delicious too! I highly recommend this particular establishment, and will definitely order from them for the next special occasion!“

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

“I have worked with How sweet It Is Desserts for my baby shower Harry Potter theme, and my son's first birthday Dinosaur theme. Molly is very responsive. She was so easy to work with. I believe the prices are fair for what she provided. Everything looked and tasted amazing! I have ordered custom cookies, cake pops and a smash cake. I just put in my order for Friendsgiving 😊“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a girl by the name of Chelsie. It is a fluke that we are at this perkins we normally go to a diffrent one and surprise our favorite girl is here we were wondering where she moved to. Give this girl a raise she is a gem. My son is typically non verbal and she is the only one outside of family that gets him to talk. Love love this girl“

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

“This crumbl is phenomenal compared to any other I’ve visited! They excel at doing the most for their customers, and one of the employees stand out the most! I think her name was Sadie?? I’m not 100% I’m pretty sure though! She had a smile on her face and greeted me so nicely when I walked in. She is an angel! This store was so clean and welcoming I drive over an hour to go to this location just because of the staff! Thank you guys for being awesome!!“

“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.“

“Thank you for offering curbside pick up. Your challah and banana bread are delicious!“

“This was absolutely delicious. A little spendy but I’d say worth it. Their coffee was delicious as well. I got a caramel macchiato and was delighted to find that it wasn’t too sweet. Just perfect. Definitely stop in and give this place a try!“

“Great food, coffee, and service!“

“I've been coming here to get my daughter cake made for the last three years beautiful work ❤️“

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

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

“Trisha is AMAZING! She made the most adorable and delicious race car dairy-free cake for our son's second birthday. The design and details were incredible, and it brought us so much comfort knowing our child could safely eat and enjoy it on his special day. We're greatly appreciative of Trisha's baking and decorating expertise, care, and alternative ingredient options! She made some beautiful dairy-free cupcakes for us as well, so our son could also be included in his sibling's gender reveal. Highly highly recommend, especially for those with food allergies! Thank you so much Trisha, you are the best! :D“

“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“

“Nikolas Bakery has been a go to for my family and I for years. We love their selection of products, especially their delicious muffins! Lately, we have seen and enjoyed a number of new items that showcase vegetables in yummy form. Keep up the good work!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I got a cookie cake for a present for family member and there was a change in plan last minute, they worked with the change and were extremely helpful and polite with the order.He loved the cookie cake and shared it with several people, his favorite cookie is snickerdoodle. 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“

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

“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!“

“Most of the cookies my daughter like but they are really good for the few i tried. I say they are worth the price. Some locations has ice cream but also some locations dont care about their products & sell old expired ice cream or those cookies aint in the heated shelf or cold shelfs.“
