50 Best Bakeries in Minneapolis

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

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

“The most consistent and delicious restaurant and bakery we’ve ever been to. So sad!!! 😞“

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

“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……“

“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 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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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 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!“

“Great design and attention to detail by Liz!“

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

“Had the cheese jalapeno and the pork tamalas. Good flavors and sized well for $3.25. Tried chocolate donut, oreja (palmier), empanadas de piña (pinnapple turnover) and a concha (sweet bread). All pretty good, donuts are huge, could only eat half. Shared the turnover and oreja, was nice and flakey, next time will not share. Picked up some cumin, dried whole cinnamon, and dried chile. Prices are really good and people running store are friendly and helpful.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“(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.“

“El pan es fresco y recien horneado con sabor casero.“

“Top notch authentic bagels, woman-owned business, what's not to love?“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“we chose Durango bakery for our youngest son's 2nd birthday and they BEYOND exceeded our expectations. would recommend to anyone. great service, great people. and they make delicious fresh pastries daily that are out of this world!“

“I live near turtle bread and think it's a great local spot - unfortunately their menu choices limit me from being able to visit more frequently. They have no kids menu - so if I want to visit with the family, I have to pay full price for a veggie quesadilla - with everything removed (so just a cheese quesadilla) for the kids who will still only eat half. Similar - they have great soups, but offer no way to get a soup as a side instead of fries (or a soup /sandwich combo). Offer more flexible menu options so I can visit more frequently!“

“Pretty solid restaurant. You order at the front and they deliver it to your table. Not ridiculously expensive like most places now. Pretty good food overall as well. Coffee is bland but that's normal out of a big pot. I went two times so far. Good frittata and basic breakfast.“

“Visiting from Kansas City Missouri! What a perfect little bakery/cafe!! All the gluten and dairy free options are delicious. Who knew you can make all the best baked goods in vegan ways?! Fast, healthy, SUPER affordable breakfast and treat space. We will visit again!“

“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.“

“I've been going here for decades for their wholesome tasty breads. Dakota is my favorite and I often add a sweetbread from their rotating seasonal offerings. I also treat myself to one cookie (salted caramel is my favorite) to savor on the drive home.“

“Best banana cream pie I’ve ever had!!“

“First time in today and is now my favorite bakery! Bought a variety box and everything was so yummy! There goes my diet lol!! Such a friendly owner too!! Highly recommend!“

“La numero 1 en sabor panaderia el sabor ecuatoriano“

“Amazing food -atmosphere- will definitely return.“

“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!“
