GIVE ME THIS BREAKFAST SANDWICH OVER & OVER AGAIN.Black Walnut is in a seemingly residential area of the southside of Hennepin [Uptown], but gets packed inside. it's a lovely place to sit down, meet friends, and just hang out. i don' think i would recommend it as a place work out of, but it's got a charm to it.would def go back again & again.

I was walking in the area and stopped in for a coffee since it looked so cute, but wow are the employees rude.

Their espresso was good quality but the baked goods and egg cheese croissants are bland, overrated and expensive. (I could’ve mail a better egg and cheese croissant without spending $12). I also didn’t find the atmosphere and staff to be very welcoming. As the only black Muslim in the store, I was thrown off by the staff’s rude facial expressions and half expected them to ask me if I was lost. Noticed small differences in treatment (customers being asked if they’d like their croissants sliced, mine coming whole with no utensils). I’ll only go here if I have cash to burn but to each their own

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.

Parking was tough to find, the bakery is expensive, and it is a crowded spot! My boyfriend and I ordered: an egg & cheese croissant, a hot pressed tuna melt, and monkey bread. We ended up throwing away both sandwiches after trying a bite or two - finding them both inedible, but we ate the monkey bread, though it seemed stale (overly crunchy, sort of a burnt taste to the caramel).I don’t understand the hype but it does have a very Instagram-minimalism vibe, and the baked goods certainly look delicious! Unfortunately we just didn’t think it tasted good.

One of my favorite bakeries in the Twin Cities. The pastries are flaky and the egg sandwich on croissant bread is a must try. If you’re visiting during the weekend, be sure to get there early or the line will be out the door and some of the more popular pastries WILL sell out!

Oh man, what a great place to have fantastic bakery items, sweet and savory, and super tasty breads… I liked the sourdough intensely. Pick up or dine in, you will come back for more goodies.
