“This is a great find! We really liked all the breads and pastries we tried from here - the only problem you'll likely have is choosing which ones to buy! We liked the traditional Mexican concha and the coconut sweet roll the best, but we would love to go back and try more things. Prices were very reasonable too.“

“A safe place to shop and dine. Great choices on restaurants and fantastic shops.“

“Was referred by Rodriguez auto to millies bakery for any delicious bakery goods. Scheduled a consultation with millie who was patient and open to any ideas we had for a cake, we decided on a variety of flavors available and gluten free option. In addition we purchases a couple extra 1/4 sheet cakes to accomodate other guests who would like to try different flavors. The ease of placing an order, receiving invoice of desired cake design was a fast process. She gives you an honest time frame of pick up or delivery options within the twin cities. Pricing was below the national average with her positive attitude to make anything you can think of is a reason not to shop any other bakery.“

“Cooks of Crocus Hill has excellent selection of pots, pans, and everything you’d need in the kitchen. Faiza helped me so much and was so sweet. Whether you like cooking, baking, or both, this is the place for you. Great staff with lots of cooking class options“

“Great food, wonderful service (baklava for us, because we were new customers.). This deli has been here for the many years I've lived in this area, and I'd never stopped in. Life has wonderful surprises, right here, right now.

Parking: Lots of parking in back“

“Great bread, tasty pastries, nice vibes.
They have a patio seating and the Bread Bus, a repurposed bus with heating and AC, to sit down and enjoy the space: no WiFi and board games.
For sweetes, I recommend to try the almond scone and the scone.“

“Delicious chocolates & the staff was wonderful!“

“The Saint Paul location of Nothing Bundt Cakes is the BEST IN THE STATE!!! The Events and Wedding Manager, Barb, is a literal angel! She is so kind and accommodating, and went the extra mile with Wendy (the owner, another angel!) and other staff members to pack our bundtinis into 160 2-cupcake boxes so we could distribute them as “his and her favorite flavor” favors on the way out at the end of the night. The Nothing Bundt Cakes staff took such care to ensure that the bundtinis were placed properly and did not get smushed in transit and worked with our Day of Coordinator directly to pick them up the day of our wedding. The “his and her” bundtini boxes were a huge hit with our guests!“

“This was LONG overdue!!! I was looking for custom cookies for my baby shower and my close friend found Meghan so I decided to give her a try as her works looks amazing ! I do not regret one bit ! Meghan was very friendly and professional. She was very communicative and her prices are reasonable. She even delivers which makes me 100% more better especially if you have an event you're throwing and it's less stress and anxiety worrying about having to pick it up! I was a bit out of her delivery range but she was so sweet and was willing to deliver it to me for my first babyshower and that meant a lot to me and I'm very appreciative! The cookies came out sooo much more than I expected! I was flabbergasted when I seen them. There was soo many details and everything looked so adorable and cute. It was a lot better than what I expected and then more! I highly recommend her as she does amazing work!! Her work truly shows what amazing things she can do! I will recommend her to all my friends and family who needs cookies for events ! Hands down. Thank you for making oir special desert for our babyshower 🤍 we loved it soo much !! Picture doesn't do justice ! She is precise with her work and it shows ! Thank you Meghan !“

“I debated leaving this review, but I think others might feel the same. I’m giving 4 stars because I don’t want to tank the overall rating but honestly, that doesn't reflect my personal experience or that of my friends.

Charging $5 for a single cookie just feels... off. Even accounting for overhead, the actual cost to make one cookie is way* less than $5. That kind of markup feels excessive- especially right now, when so many of us are being nickel-and-dimed from every direction.

I was genuinely excited to have a cookie shop nearby to satisfy those “I just want one good chocolate chip cookie” cravings. But at $5 each, the cookie would need to be exceptional. Instead, it tasted more like something factory-made than homemade, and my friends and I even wondered if they’re baked in-house at all.
Disappointing, to say the least. A more reasonable price could turn this place into a local gem. Right now, it just feels like a missed opportunity.“

“This pastry started like a dream—perfectly flaky, buttery layers, and almonds that made me question if I’d entered a pastry utopia. But then… the raspberry jam. Why, pastry gods, why would anyone ruin such a masterpiece with that tart, sticky disaster?

This was a gift but after the emotional trauma I endured, I’m pretty sure I’m entitled to a refund.

My dog wouldn’t even go near this, and she will eat ANYTHING.“

“Got some coconut and taro buns from PaJai couples months ago when I visited the Twin Cities. When I saw their post on fresh buns, I just have to order some. They’re delicious!“

“The best cakes around. Fresh, perfectly decorated, and the perfect balance of flavors. Thank you for the cakes over the past 15+ years ❤️“

“We stopped in for some gelato after dinner one night and got one medium gelato and one affogato. (The small size was crossed off the list.) We were expecting the price to be around $14, but it came to $19! The gelato was good, but a bit mild in flavor, and the affogato was tasty. They have a ton of other beautiful desserts like cannolis, macarons, cakes, and more.“

“We ordered a sample box of profiteroles and they were amazing! Light and airy, with the perfect amount of flavor & sweetness! We will definitely be ordering again in the future!“

“I hope all the employees are more friendly .need more customer service every time I walk in, they make me feel like don't come in. We don't want yours money. 😞that why we stop buying their bakery.“

“Order my daughters cake a day before for 50 people and without hesitation they made it happened. I’m very satisfied with the quality of the cake it was phenomenal“

“The macarons are absolutely delicious. I especially loved the birthday cake flavor. Also, one of sweetest, loveliest families.“

“Behind the Bread Box is a Minneapolis locally sourced and produced bakery business that I can't recommend highly enough. Freshly churned butter? Mills his own wheat/oats? Incredible. The bread I received in my order made my day and gave me delicious, fluffy, and savory goods to enjoy for my week ahead. The owner and bakery Tom is a lovely man who is friendly and puts his heart and love into the bread! Can't wait to order again!“

“This is a wholesaler of baked goods, but I always have a positive impression because their products are of such a high quality and taste whenever I find them. This buildings campus is also well maintained and it is a pleasure and a freaking half to walk around the business park area and imagine all the hard working bakers inside making tasty treats! Im not sure how much of the food is actually made here, or if its more of a corporate office, but I appreciate the hard work of all of the business people here too! I am sure the HR people, accounting, security, custodial staff, etc. are all fantastic and doing a really great job, working their hardest! We sure do appreciate you! How neat :)“

“The owner runs the store and he Francisco is very friendly . He has homemade Injera and other pastries like himbasha is a special leavened bread “much like a soft fluffy pizza crust,” made with flour and a touch of little or none sugar. Injera a thin, round traditionally ERitrean/somali/Ethiopian flatbread prepared by fermenting batter made from teff flour and others.“

“Stopped in tonight and bought a few to try out. They were delicious! Ordered 2 dozen for an event and can't wait to share them with my guests. Polite and pleasant staff, very happy to support them!“

“Amazing best fritters I’ve ever had“

“Very kind and helpful customer service for my first time there. Absolutely delicious cinnamon roll with butter cream frosting! Made from scratch it was so gooey, warm, cinnamon and buttery delicious 😍 melted right in my mouth with every sweet bite! Great mimosas to go with as well with it!! Absolutely 10/10 will be returning sometime. Cheers! 🥂🍮“

“Wow. You walk in and you're engulfed in the wonderful aroma of fresh breads. From banana to sour dough, this store offers a delicious selection. Although parking can be difficult on Grand Ave, it's well worth the small walk if you have to. Great customer service and your store is beautiful! Definitely recommend and will be back!!“

“Love the coconut cake.and the strawberry Angel food cupcake.“

“Thank you Buttercream Wedding Cakes for the most delicious and wonderful arrangement of desserts at The Lofton Hotel with Twin Cities Wedding & Event Professionals. Everyone raved about them!“

“Yum! Had a cherry and chocolate scone, a chocolate chunk cookie and egg, cheese and ham paninis. Absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to return to taste more items. Great selection of drinks. Plenty of seating.“

“Great placeTrucker make a wide turnSecurity and jockey guy keeps an eye for incoming trucks and opens gate for youLittle tight docks for sleeper but shunter ask you to drop trailer and move it himselfWait outside in truck until PU is doneIt took 1.5 hours to get out of there“

“My boyfriend and I love the pupusas here the service is okay the place is clean but most of the time they have religious music that is super boring to us. we have nothing against religions but is not something we want to listen to while eating we feel like we are in church plus there is other people from other cultures I just think the music should be more inclusive.“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“Really good bread! I got three kings bread (rosca de reyes) and was excellent. The candied fruit were plump and full of flavor and the sugar paste was just perfect amount of sweetness. Authentic and visually appealing! Definitely represents the meaning and celebration of the three kings crowns. I have gone to this bakery many times and it never disappoints. I have also goten conchas and day of the dead bread (pan de muertos) and had the same results delicious and aesthetically pleasing! They are always kind and helpful and overall a hardworking and wonderful mom and pop shop! Would recommend to family and friends!“

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“The best breakfast and coffee in town..“

“Friendly staff. Fast service. Food was very good. I recently moved to Saint Paul and will definitely return to this establishment. 😁“
