“We had the BEST girls night taking Amy's macaroon making class! Located in downtown Hopkins is the cutest little bakery. The class takes place in the back kitchen area where they have designated baking stations with all the tools, equipment and ingredients set up for you! We had so much fun being able to pick out our own colors, fillings, and flavors. Im a red velvet girlie and my friend chose to do a fun, champagne filling flavor! There were so many flavors and colors to choose from, you really can't go wrong! Amy, the owner, leads the class and is so kind, down-to-earth and helpful with every step. There's a break halfway through the class to allow for your macaroons to bake. This is the perfect time to grab a quick drink or bite to eat at one of the nearby bars or restaurants. Although I doubt I could ever re-create these master piece macaroons on my own without Amy's expertise and help, it was a really great experience and the best, most delicious macaroons I've ever had! We each came out with a big batch and box of our own personal creations and was able to enjoy them for days after!! I highly recommend the class or just stopping by to purchase for the best macaroons ever!!“
“I ordered a king cake to take in to work- without a doubt the best one I’ve had, it melts in your mouth! The staff was exceptionally friendly and offered an extra cup of frosting. Great environment if you’re just looking for a place in Minneapolis to sit down with a cup of coffee and a treat too!“
“Amazing cheesecake! I was never the biggest fan of cheesecake but this place made me a fan. I just shared some of my key lime with family at Easter and they all loved it. I shared some minis with coworkers and they all said how much they loved it as well.The cheesecake is so light and creamy. And the crust is a very important part as well that is done perfectly. I spoke with the owner when is stopped in and she was so enjoyable to chat with. The staff was so friendly as well, even holding the door when I left as they thanked me. I will definitely go back.“
“This place has an authentic, charming small-town vibe. Wonderful pies and Dave is a true gem. The day we visited he was out of fruit pie because he was making them for a 300 person wedding and they were selling as soon as he took fresh ones out of the oven!“
“Great pastries…. My wife is gluten free and was excited to try the pastries and they did not disappoint. I am not gluten free but they were very delicious and truthfully you wouldn’t know they were gluten free unless you were told. We will be back“
“I ordered online and did pick up for 2 dozen donuts. It was easy and the worker was nice enough to separate the donuts for me as I needed it in two boxes. The donuts were delicious and I brought them for my last day of work! They easily were gone as they make them fresh and delicious! Would come back again!“
“Stopped in for lunch & tried the turkey pastrami sandwich. It was SO GOOD. Way better than a sandwich has any business being. I'd say it was the special dipping sauce (it kinda was), but also everything was super fresh. I'll be back to try some treats.“
“Absolutely amazing! I tried the original and banana whoopie pies at a meeting, and they blew my mind! I ordered a few for my dad’s birthday, and they were such a hit! So I recently ordered some new flavors to treat the girl at my shop. We tried coconut, Nutella, and our minds were BLOWN BY THE HONEY!!! OMG, I could eat these at every meal! You gotta try every flavor!“
“Such good ice cream. It made my mouth orgasm. It was awkward because everyone around me was wondering why I was moaning so much while eating my ice dream. Then I sneezed and shot ice cream out my nose. That is how you orgasm out of your face.“
“This place is an absolute favorite! I come here regularly and although everything I’ve tried is great, my favorites are the egg and cheese croissant sandwich (unlike any you’ve ever had) kouign amann, and almond poppy citrus bread. It gets crowded on the weekends but if you can snag a seat inside or on the patio, the atmosphere is really nice. Walk right over to the lake if you’d rather take your food to go!I even ordered my wedding cake from Black Walnut! The Cassis Vanilla Bavarian makes for a perfect cutting cake and is beautiful and delicious.“
“I loved my Dolche de Leche latte! It was sweet enough without being over powering. I liked the banana bread loaf as well. Street parking was easy to find too! My only complaint is that it gets super busy and has limited seating. I came to sit and visit with a friend and we waited for seating and it was fairly loud. Once it calmed down, it was the perfect environment to visit. I also found the staff very kind and calm despite it being so busy! I would visit again any time!Parking: There is a hill on the side of the coffee shop where it seems the majority of people parked. The neighborhood also has a lot of space to park. Parking on Penn is limited due to a large 30 min parking area, but I found this to be the best parking.“
“Stopped in on my Saturday morning adventure. Absolutely delicious biscuit with freshly cooked ingredients. As a Tea lover I was excited to see many different options of tea including black, green, herbal, and seasonal flavors. Place was busy, but the staff got through orders fast. Plenty of seating and a great vibe. A place you don't tell your friends about, but bring them to, because you selfishly want to be able to claim you showed them it.“
“Amazing donuts! Especially if you think grocery store donuts are any good, you are in for a treat. This bakery also participates with Too Good To Go, an app working to eliminate food waste. Definitely worth a stop in if you haven't been to this neighborhood gem before.“
“Stopped in for a dozen donuts to give as a gift, and one extra for a dessert craving wife. Was met with 12 amazing looking donuts, a very cool guy working the register and a 10/10 mango iced donut with pineapple jelly. Would give 6 stars if I could, and they earned an absolute repeat customer.“
“Tiger Milk Tea is Brown Sugar flavor, and it goes so well with the boba!! Purple one is Taro, the pink mochi doughnut is strawberry with the spheres that conveniently break apart, the brown speckled one had some gooeyness to it that tasted like monkey bread, and I inhailed 10 doughnut holes they were so fluffy and good.“
“I am so impressed with the quality service and delicious baked goods at this bakery! The ladies at the counter were so genuinely kind, they went out of their way to help me and make recommendations, and their over all energy and smiles made a good experience, incredible! I will absolutely be back!“
“Cake Box did my son's first birthday cake, and they did an absolutely amazing job! They did an 8-inch double layered cake that was Sesame Street themed and a precious smash cake with an Elmo spoon in it! The cakes were the highlight of the party. Thank you so much again, I will be coming back for all our special event cakes. Oh - it was DELICIOUS! :)“
“We have gotten birthday cakes for our daughters' birthdays from Queen of Cakes for the last few years, and they never fail to amaze us! Our older daughter often has quite specific requirements, and they invariably manage to accommodate her. She was thrilled with this year's cake: a "purple and gold fairy" theme! And the cake itself is DELICIOUS - we always get a ton of compliments!“
“Drove from Richfield just to go to this location. John is such a nice guy and so friendly. The store was clean. He was inviting and very informative with the tester cookie information. I can tell he genuinely cares about this company and he’s one of the people Crumbl should be proud to have representing them.“
“Now, if you're lookin' for a taste of heaven right here on earth, this place is where it's at.At Cardigan Donuts, they ain't messin' around with no plain ol' biscuits. Naw, they're fryin' up the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth donuts you ever did see. From classic glazed to fancy filled, they got flavors that'll make ya weak in the knees.And let me tell ya, the folks over at Cardigan Donuts, they sure know how to treat ya right. They'll welcome ya with a smile wider than a country mile and make ya feel like family from the moment ya walk in.next time you're hankerin' for a sweet treat that'll leave ya grinnin' from ear to ear, head on down to Cardigan Donuts. Trust me, it'll be the best decision ya ever made.“
“WOW!!! Lauren's work BLEW AWAY ALL MY EXPECTATIONS! Absolute cookie wizardry! When I threw out ideas for my best friend's favourite Pokémon for their birthday in the hopes of making them cookies, I never would have imagined the HIGH QUALITY of the cookies nor that such HIGH QUALITY ART would be possible to put on a cookie. Lauren is likely a cookie wizard because her skills are magical. Beyond impressed, and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a special high quality DELICIOUS edible work of art!“
“Parking: plenty of street parking Service: delightful people who let you try all the flavors, seriously, don't be shy about it Food: flavors are so creative and cleverly named! My favorites were the Nicollet Pothole (chocolate and fudgey) and good old vanilla (rich flavor and perfect texture, with the occasional crunch of actual vanilla bean bursting in your mouth. Ambiance: call us crazy, but we sat outside in the patio in the snow, so seating was plentiful, haha!“
“We recently tried Heather’s Pies for the first time and picked up the pies on our way home from the hospital after having a child. Heather’s pies were delicious and her customer service was exceptional! She even gave us one of the pies for free as a congratulations gift to our family! The overall experience was second to none and we highly recommend!“
“The process of ordering our wedding desserts through Nothing Bundt Cakes was so easy! We picked up a dozen bundtinis for our tasting and everything was absolutely delicious. The pricing was incredibly reasonable, dessert delivery on our wedding day was seamless, and everything tasted great. We are so happy we chose Nothing Bundt Cakes!“
“My family is so happy to have a place like this in Bloomington. The food is delicious, the setting is very cute and clean, staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Fast service. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes and cornbread waffles and coffee. Portions are large, had plenty for left overs.Can’t wait to go back.“

“If you've been looking for a reason to come back downtown, you have it! David Fhima , Eli Fhima and team have again knocked it out of the park. Phenomenal coffee and pastries. I can't wait to be down for wine soon too! SO great to have this in the Capella Tower!“
“I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem while in search of a French style patisserie. There are other businesses that claim to be patisseries, but this is the real deal. The location is easy to get to, even for someone who doesn't live in Minneapolis. The parking is easy, and the neighborhood feels safe. We loved the almost dark academia ambience that is inside - warm lighting, dark interior. It creates a cozy feel and makes you feel sophisticated, even if you're just trying to satisfy the Saturday morning sweet tooth like we were. Ordering was easy, and the lady gathering our items was very friendly and explained things well. We ordered a vanilla St. Honoré, pain au chocolat, croissants, and an Elise (yes, I'm saying it in a French accent to feel more fancy). The viennoiserie are baked Euro-style, meaning a bit darker than what you'd find in a regular American bakery. The many flaky layers could be seen, and there's a delightful crunch when you take a bite. The sweetness of the Elise was "just enough." We enjoyed everything except for the iced mochas. Those weren't quite as chocolatey or sweet as we're used to. If we could improve anything, it would be to give an option to have something warmed, like the pain au chocolat. It's a little spendy, but you're getting real croissants- not Costco croissants. Will definitely be coming back.“
“Cool place, good vibes, okay service. Living in the North Loop I have the luxury of having amazing cafes to benchmark them against. Food was great, don’t get me wrong. But prices are extremely high compared to higher caliber food in the North Loop. $5.75 for just a croissant? $15 for a croissant with prosciutto and cheese? You can get the best ham and cheese croissant in the city at Bellecor in the north loop for $6 and the best breakfast sandwich in the state for $15 there as well. Don’t want to distract from how great our food was here, but won’t be back given the value. We spent over $50 for a breakfast sandwich, slice of banana bread, a prosciutto croissant, an Americano and a chai tea latte… that’s a lot. Saw a couple come in, look at the menu and then turn around and walk a block down to Turtle Bread instead.“
“The ‘coffee cake’ muffins are as good as it gets! Very nice crumb, great flavor. I will be sending these to my out-of-town family members, and bringing to my neighborhood’s monthly ‘coffee at the clubhouse’…they are THAT good!And I got a wonderful note back from the owner, who stated they’re coming out with more flavors soon! Only Woodman’s Carrie’s them in my area. Did I say fabulous? And they freeze well.?“
“Such excellent, efficient, and friendly service, Tom and Hollie were truly wonderful and welcoming. Very cozy and clean too! Of course the food was delicious (I will always recommend the french toast). Perfect for large groups and incredibly accomodating as well. What a joy, thank you Perkins!“
“Delicious coffee, bread, small market/shop options, and the best of the best morning pastries! Take advantage of their seasonal bakery offerings- they are always top notch! I send everyone to Honey and Rye when they ask what my favorite bakery recommendation is!“
“Since my family moved from Minneapolis to Crystal last summer, this bakery is a place where my family have began to frequently visit.A really calming atmosphere to either study or relax and chat with friends.I got a mango smoothie along with some cookies, the smoothie was excellent and was a more mild sweetness that I really enjoyed.The cookies were alright, but were better than I did expect.Overall, I really like this place and is pretty close by to where we live. Definitely worth to give the place a try!“
“Royal Grounds is a pretty cozy little coffee shop, nestled along Grand Ave in Uptown Minneapolis. The coffee is delicious, water is plentiful, and the snacks are too notch. I appreciate that the shop discourages tips in favor of a fair wage for all employees. The decor is also quite unique and fun, especially in the bathroom.“
“We stumbled across this when looking for African food and it's the greatest gem ever in the heart of downtown. The service was amazing from taking our order over the phone to rushing to get our food to us, as hot as possible. The woman that helped us was sweet and very gracious for our business, when we should be thankful for her. This food is 10/10 in every aspect. The fufu is fantastic, the chicken and fish were incredibly flavorful and juicy. Both the rice and beans were so flavorful and the portions were giant. The plantains in the stewed beans were perfectly cooked and a perfect addition to the chicken and beans. We will be ordering from here again!!“
“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!“
“My friend recommended this place to me and it did not disappoint! The cookies are amazing! Today the choices were Banana Cream Pie (yum!) Chocolate Chip, Pink Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, something else with white chocolate chips and one that was half and half.. half dark half light.. I can't remember the names of these last 2. I would say that the business owner would benefit a LOT from employees that speak to you as a guest. There were 3 people behind the counter, not one of them spoke to me until I asked for help. Being that it was my first time in I could have benefitted from knowing that the way you order is through the kiosk not a real live person! Who knew! Call me old fashioned but I actually like when employees greet me, say hello how can I help you and thank you for coming in! As good as the cookies are I'd be hesitant to go in again.“
“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“
“Macarons are my favorite dessert. It is kind of hard finding good ones around Minnesota I feel, but Nikolette's is amazing. They have a wide variety of flavors, and you can actually taste the difference between them. Blue Marshmallow and Caramel Cappuccino are my personal favorites, but everything is so good.“
“This place is great. A classic donut shop - opens super early, has all the familiar options (cake, raised, old fashioned, long John's, apple fritters, etc), and serves basic coffee. Seems like mostly a takeaway place but they have a couple of tables. Love going here anytime the kids wake up too early.“
“I was looking for a fun dessert to go along with my Taco theme for a baby shower I hosted! I stumbled upon How Sweet It Is and I was so glad I did! The cookies were adorable and so good! The soon to be mom raved about them and said sometimes custom cookies look Goode but don’t taste good… not these!! Thank you so much, Molly! You were amazing to work with!“
“HUGE authentic tamales. Probably the best tamales I have had in a long time and the very best I have had in the Midwest. I am a native Texan and truck driver, I deliver in Minnesota twice a week and i know something about good Mexican food.Also they are very courteous and the place smells fan freaking tastic. This place is a gem.“
“Family owned company and it tastes amazing! Just like my grandma's cookies. It really tastes homemade and I crave these cookies. They have yummy gluten-free rice crispy with peanut butter/choc. topping bars. They have a nice variety. So good!“
“I love the food and the atmosphere at Yum! Everything is so delicious. My go-to is the tuna melt. Their homemade potato chips are so addictive. My daughter craves the Mac and cheese. Their nut goodly bar is the stuff of dreams. I did call them this week as I wanted to pick up a dessert for a dinner party where a couple of people keep kosher. None of the desserts are kosher which is a bummer. It hasn't diminished my love for the place but when I googled "kosher desserts" for Minneapolis, yum! came up.“
“Food was excellent. Great omelet with fresh ingredients. Enjoyed the warmth on a frigid Minnesota Sunday morning. Overall a nice coffee shop and great breakfast spot. Biggest kitchen with Tina of flour. This place produces a lot of baked goods. “
“Amazing butter croissant and other pastries both sweet and savory. I lived in Hong Kong for four years and this bakery is very authentic to what you would get in HK! I go here when I'm missing Hong Kong. Great egg tart as well. Cute atmosphere.Parking: Free parking lot with many spaces.Kid-friendliness: I have brought my child here many times.“
“The cake is airy and pleasant not sweet. Being unfamiliar with Scandinavian torte, I was unsure if it was meant to be dry. However, this torte was too dry for my liking; nevertheless, it would have been perfect with a moister texture. It features a delightful combination of chocolate and banana, complemented by a frosting that isn’t excessively sweet.“
“This place is so cute! I love coming here to work on my computer. They released the fall collection of treats not too long ago and I have been working my way through the menu. Nitro latte is undefeated. Almond cake and jumbo pretzels are great. Would definitely recommend for an afternoon treat!“
“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 cannot say enough about Pat and her team! She was amazing to work with! I would give them 10 stars if I could! I asked for a large, short notice order for a client of mine in the twin cities! She delivered BIG time and the cookie were DELICIOUS!!!!! Recommend 100% regardless of where you are located!! SHE SHIPS!!!“
“Fantastic and delicious cake! I came to LaBamba based on great reviews and those reviews are 100% good!!! I needed a dessert for a Mexican themed birthday party for 16 people and she recommended the Tres Leche cake. I picked it up the next day before the party and it was the hit of the party!!! Soooo good! I’ve also purchased other items from them and it’s all been very good. The people who work here are so nice. I’ll be a regular customer for all sorts of things there, now. Thank you for the amazing cake!!! This cake needs to be kept cool before serving. Save space in your refrigerator.“
