Honestly a really bizarre (but not bad) experience!! haha. I guess sometimes they don't have staff available to work, so you have to call a number to get a code to come inside-- then you pick out what you want (self serve) and also ring yourself up. You can call the number to figure out how to ring yourself up, but they use Toast so it's pretty easy to figure it out. I paid with cash so I wasn't sure where to put it? They didnt have a register.. so I put it under the toast card reader...? The interior is pretty halloween theme right now, but it's a little tacky. Reminds me of someones grandparents junk basement. Not bad, but kinda silly. I rung myself up for their brownie ($4) and it was alright! Pretty traditional brownie, might be a couple days old based on how the sprinkles look & how it tasted, but no problem. I probably wont be coming back because it's.. maybe too bizarre for me. I love the creativity, unique items, and the trust they have in their community-- but I like the face to face human interactions too much. Those are usually what I base my reviews on. Guy on the phone sounded kind! Probably a busy guy, but yeah. Confusing situation unless there's employees available on site. Oh parking is pretty difficult to find as well. This is more of a spot to stop by while you're going on a walk.

Great food. Weird service (but very nice) where you sometimes order over the phone) and an interior that currently looks almost post apocalyptic. But the doughnuts and whatnot are amazing.

They have gluten free donuts that are also dairy free. They do, however, contain eggs. The donuts are rather dense but still tasty. The glaze has a slight citrus twist.

If you like the waxy taste of shortening, than this place is for you. Everything that should have been made with butter is made with shortening, or tastes like it. The pecan bar was under sweet, dry and left a waxy film in your mouth. The cherry turnover was short on filling, had no icing, and was, you guessed it, waxy. The maple bacon doughnut was denser than a raises donut should be, had way too much icing, and yup, tasted waxy. For 5 dollars a donut they could definitely afford to use real butter. I'd say Cub foods is a way better bang for your buck. Not worth the money in any way shape or form.

Strange experience. The product was fine. But we showed up to have to call a phone number and we let ourselves into an empty building to self service and cash ourselves out. I’m an honest person I don’t have a problem doing this but it stunk to high hell in there and there is just random stuff like Christmas trees and weird stuff laying in prep areas. Not sure how sanitary this place is. First time customer.

Best in the Twin Cities. If you dig a raised glazed donut, this place is heaven.

When first arriving it was pretty empty. Only 1 worker. It was about 10am and 90% of bakery was gone. Got the apple turnover and 2 glazed donuts. The turnover was hard and crispy like it's been sitting there for a day or 2. Wasn't enjoyable. Same thing with the donuts. I also ordered an Americano. The young gal working there was rushing and felt like she was confused on how to make drinks. Kind of sad only 1 worker to jump bewteen taking orders and making the drinks.
