Very expensive. Egg sandwich messy yolk, no real flavor. Cinnamon roll dry. Coffee bitter.

Worst customer service to date and bitter espresso. Girl at counter gave me a nasty look and very phony attitude. Zero patience or respect.

Service was great! Bread was forgettable. Rustica used to make fantastic richly flavorful bread. My favorite was the olive bread and my wife loved the fruit and nut bread. Today we got a loaf of multigrain bread. The flavor wasn’t even a pale shadow of what they used to make. We will not be back.
Rustica Coffee and Bakery is a great spot to start the day. The artisanal bread is incredibly delicious, and the pour over coffee is freshly made and well-prepared. Highly recommended for a quality breakfast experience.

The pastries are in a class of their own. Went when they had an apricot pistachio danish and it absolutely knocked my socks off; the perfect balance of tart and nutty. Truly inspired and feel fortunate to have them in the area 🥹

This bakery offers classic viennoisseries along with desserts, baguette, loaves and a café style menu. Very cute spot for a bite.

After living in Austin, returning home to Minnesota has been a meaningful adjustment—and I’ve been seeking places that offer that same level of quality, consciousness, and craft I became used to.
Rustica has been one of the few places that truly delivers. Their baked goods are intentional, their ingredients feel clean, and their commitment to quality is clear in every bite. Whether it’s a pastry, a loaf of bread, or a simple coffee, you can feel the love and technique behind it.
If only they had a little Third Eye ceremonial cacao on the menu—then we’d really be talking about full-spectrum nourishment.
Thank you, Rustica, for holding it down here in Minneapolis. You make it easier to feel at home again.

The food and drinks are quite tasty if a little on the pricey side.
The several times I've gone here, when ordering drinks, I've received poor service. There was just a lack of communication that made me feel I knew how I would get my drink. Perhaps it is too loud inside, perhaps they just are very clear or explicit

The baristas were so lovely! A taller barista helped me pick a pastry and a barista (shorter, light brown short hair with curls) with such a unique name that started with an A I believe made THE best coffee drink for me. You can tell they care about the quality of the drink and they were so kind to me. Love these two! The only thing is that I let them know the music kept skipping like an old come that has scratched on it. They said they would bring it up to management on getting it fixed. Honestly my group left early and opted for a walk because the music was so distracting the way it it was playing hurting our heads. Please fix that or we will not go back. However we’d love to visit again just to chat again with the baristas and how friendly they were. But seriously a fix the music, it’s about the ambiance of the place and that ruins it.
Great place to meet a friend or do some work. Plenty of outlets. The bread is very good - I like the breakfast sandwich and the Rachel. Some non-coffee drinks but there could be more no caffeine options.

Definitely noticed a drop in quality of service and food ever since the business was sold. Used to come here a lot. The most recent two times my drink order took over 20 minutes because they simply forgot to make it. One of the times I got a coupon for a free coffee as an apology.
This is a wonderful little bakery spot. The staff are wonderful and so sweet and the pastries are amazing
