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

“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!“

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

“Geshmak! Idk if this bakery is Jewish, but it definitely reminds me of my fav bakery in NY. Absolutely delicious. I never thought I’d find such an amazing gf bakery. The apple turnovers are probably my favorite! Buttery, flaky and so flavorful. We are beyond impressed and the staff were super nice. Thank you for dedicating yourselves into making a wonderful place for us gf peeps <3“

“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.“

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

“THIS IS NO RUN-OF-THE-MILL, REGULAR-SHMEGULAR BAKERY!!! This bakery has the BEST pies and donuts you’ve ever tasted in your whole entire life. I know what you’re thinking, “How good can pie really be? Is it really THAT much better than a gas station donut?” Well, I promise you that the baked goods at this establishment are truly exceptional. In fact, we moved almost an hour away and still drive back to use this bakery for special occasions. I only wish their hours of operation were better (after work on weekdays and longer on weekends!) Try the strawberry rhubarb pie or crunch donut holes, but you really can’t go wrong here.“

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

“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.“

“🌟 5-Star Review 🌟 Thank you, Cardigan Donuts! We are so grateful to Cardigan Donuts for sponsoring TCWEP’s 16th Gala & Awards Show at the beautiful Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens!

Thank you for being a part of our celebration and for supporting the local event community! #TCWEPGala #CardiganDonuts #SweetSupport #EventSponsorLove #tcwepnetwork“

“Truly a Southside "jewel in the rough" when it comes to bakery treats from Mexico! Baked right here in Minneapolis, you can't get more authentic than what you'll find in rows on the shelves, packed with freshly baked muffins, rolls, pastries, donuts, cookies, and treats! On the corner of 28th & Nicollet ave. S., this has to be the Twin Cities BEST!!!! Try it for yourself, you'll be happy you did! Oh, and please give this review a quick thumbs up if you found it helpful! Have a great day!!

Parking: No trouble finding a place to park in their parking lot!

Wheelchair accessibility: Double doors and wide isles make this a very accessible business for everyone!“

“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……“

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

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

“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.“

“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 👌“

“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!“

“super nice staff. rolls are fabulous!!“

“These bagels are incredible- so chewy and delicious. I love the small menu and everyone that works here is always so sweet and attentive. There is plenty of seating and street parking about a block away. The selection of canned fish is a plus too!“

“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!“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere and delicious Mexican food with a sophisticated twist. The Mexican Chocolate, with cinnamon, vanilla and cayenne pepper, is a must try.“

“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“

“Great place with a chill vibe. Food was awesome, I got BLT and my fiance got salmon bagel. Coffee had a little weird aftertaste so did my fiance said but I didn't mind it. The chairs and tables need some cleaning. We are definitely coming back.“

“Very kind and helpful customer service for my first time there. Absolutely delicious cinnamon roll with butter cream frosting! Made from scratch it was so gooey, warm, cinnamon and buttery delicious 😍 melted right in my mouth with every sweet bite! Great mimosas to go with as well with it!! Absolutely 10/10 will be returning sometime. Cheers! 🥂🍮“

“We love the space and the food is delicious! Especially love working with Marissa.“

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great selection of baked goods, as well as breakfast and food options! They have such a large variety of treats. You can find yourself easily taking home a lot if not careful.

I'm not the biggest fan of the coffee, simply due to the limitations offered. There isn't really any speciality drinks offered, so if you're good with the expected kinds of options (i.e. espresso, mocha, tea, black, etc;) it should be no problem.“

“(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.“

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

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

“Delicious latte and double chocolate donut for under $10. You don't miss the dairy or gluten in any of their products. The donut was soft and moist with decadent chocolate frosting. Haven't tried the breads yet, I'll try to update later, but they definitely pass the squish test, springing right back just like a glutenful item. I also got myself a birthday cupcake :) vegan cream cheese frosting was amazing! You've got a try the savory monkey bread. Highly recommend“

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

“I’m so happy I found this place near my Airbnb! Grabbed a couple HUGE cookies for later, loved my breakfast sandwich with veggie sausage, the coffee is delicious, it’s so bright and cozy at the same time. I only wish I was staying in town longer to try all these breads.

Vegetarian options: Omelet, frittata, breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito“

“The Tofu burrito was exceptional! The roasted potatoes were tasty. I highly recommend Butter Bakery Cafe!“

“Great design and attention to detail by Liz!“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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