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.“

“My daughter and I were out one weekend morning. I decided I wanted to try this new to us bakery. I will say this is a great place who has phenomenal pastries. We bought multiple items. Each and every one of these we're as good as the photos. The coffee is nice and hot and strong. Slight drawback was it was hard to get somebody's attention to get a refill on the coffee. We will definitely be 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“

“Found this place on Google maps while waiting for my son to finish up an activity. Super cute local bakery with a great selection. Prices are very reasonable - ranging from $2 ‐ $4 for most items. I went at 11:30 on a Thursday and they were sold out of about half of their items so i wouls suggest going earlier. I really enjoyed the savory pastry and the scones.“

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

“Yum!!!! And the service!!!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“We discovered Cardigan Donuts on our way to the Target Center for the Bruce Springsteen concert via the City Center skywalk, so we came back the next morning. Holy delish! We’re so glad we did! We tried the Old Fashioned, glazed blueberry cake and the strawberry rhubarb filled Bismarck. All three were wonderful - beautifully crafted, genuine tastes of powdered sugar, fruit…just real ingredients. The staff were super friendly and we even got a discount for being first timers! Thank you, Cardigan Donuts! - Fans from eastern Iowa“

“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 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.“

“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……“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

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

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Yeah, these are really good cookies. I’ve had chocolate chip, molasses, and snickerdoodle in the variety pack. Great flavor and soft cookies. I will be keeping a lookout for Cookie Cart. In addition to great cookies, they also support noble causes.“

“Always a solid experience here. The cookies and desserts are consistently fresh and well made. Presentation is on point, and the cookies are actually baked all the way through, which I appreciate.

The staff are kind, the location is very clean, and I’ve never had any issues.

Definitely a reliable spot when I’m craving something sweet.“

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

“Really enjoyed my visit to Sift Gluten Free Bakery in Minneapolis! We had a coffee cake, a muffin, and a latte, and everything was excellent. The baked goods were fresh, flavorful, and you’d never feel like you were missing anything. The latte was great too. Definitely a place I’d come back to. I highly recommend giving Sift a try!“

“(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.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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 👌“

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

“Baguettes are among my favorites Kouign Aman was something comparable to a honey bun with a way to hard candy shell. Living in Normandy I will say “kouign aman is a labor of love. It can be great or not good, no in between!! Being here I was really missing it. I’ve tried many here in MN and one place has totally blown my mind but the hours are so up and down. Please take your time on a masterpiece patisserie such as the kouign aman!!!!“

“I've never liked coffee before, though I'm open to trying new things. There's was the first coffee I ever liked.“

“This bakery was such a wonderful find! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I got the ginger molasses cookie, which was huge and perfectly soft with amazing flavor. I also tried the carrot cake cupcake, and it was truly to die for—moist, flavorful, and one of the best I’ve had. The slice of key lime pie and the raspberry rhubarb pie were both fantastic as well.

What really impressed me was the variety they offer. They had everything from fresh breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, and coffee to a convenient grab-and-go lunch section. It felt like no matter what you were craving, they had it.

The bakery was inviting, well-stocked, and full of tempting treats. It was hard to choose just a few things! Everything we purchased was fresh and delicious, and I can already tell this will be a place I return to again and again. Highly recommend stopping in—you won’t leave empty-handed!“

“Awesome breakfast place! I love walking here and grabbing coffee, quiche, or my fav is the huevos rancheros. I dream about it! (I recommend adding chorizo) It’s such a community/neighborhood feel to it and it will be one of the most missed places if I were ever to move away. Such an awesome open space! Yes parking can be tough but who cares it’s the cities.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
