Mother Dough Bakery

Sadly very disappointed by this place. There was nothing Parisian about that breakfast sandwich and the matcha tasted stale. 😫

Walked over from the hotel we were in, counter had 3 pastries that looked like they had been out clubbing all night. No one working, walked straight out to the next place. Sad…really wanted to give it a try.

A hidden gem! Super cute place with the kindest staff. I was craving a chocolate chip cookie and lucky for me I received one straight from the oven. The smell alone was heavenly! It’s a thick dense cookie, not too sugary or sweet, and I loved it. Next time I’m in downtown I’ll try more things.

I can’t say enough good things about this bakery! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, genuine hospitality, and the heavenly aroma of freshly baked goods and freshly brewed coffee. The real standout, though, is David. He goes above and beyond for every customer — whether it’s remembering your favorite order, offering thoughtful recommendations, or just taking the time to make you feel welcome.

It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to both the quality of the food and the experience of the people who walk through the door. Everything I’ve tried here has been absolutely delicious — from the flaky pastries to the perfectly balanced sandwiches and rich, flavorful coffee. You can truly taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite or sip.

David and the team have created something special — not just a bakery, but a place where people feel taken care of. This place is a gem, and I’m so grateful to have found it!

I only visited the downstairs quicker option bakery. Got exactly what I set out for! Great service too! Scones were enjoyed.

I brought back the vegan Chocolate Cake and a loaf of the brioche and they were incredible. I will be back next time I'm in the area!

Excellent coffee and the breakfast sandwich was outstanding!!! Comfortable lounge chairs and nice tables to eat at.

Cool atmosphere and location. Service is friendly and nice. If you’re looking to fill a longing for a Parisian pastry, it falls a bit short there. There are more compelling options in the twin cities for that. Chocolate croissant was pretty good but lacking the flaky, chewy, sheer joy you experience when eating that in Europe. The blueberry scones were underwhelming - gritty in texture and leave something to be desired. We also tried a cappuccino - good, but again, there are better options elsewhere.

Mother Dough has a variety of breads, salads, sandwiches, and deserts + pastries that make it the perfect spot to have a pick-me-up. Lunch feels much more elavated. My favorite is their Tuna Club Sandwich!

One thing that makes them stand out is their amazing staff. David is very attentive, polite, and personable with each and every customer. He's efficient and very skilled as a barista. Having someone who genuinely cares about their customers and their craft is what makes this place that much more enjoyable to visit. All employees are very kind and attentive.

Great food, and the employees are nice enough but it's clear that this cafe is understaffed. As a fellow office worker myself, i know everyone comes for their coffee in a rush but there shouldn't be such a wait to order! Doesn't seem fair for the baristas to be running back and forth between orders. Hope this changes, would hate to go back to starbucks because this shop's coffee is better lol
