“The BEST donut I've ever had! Hubby brought home two Blackberry Bliss to enjoy with our morning coffees; we savored every bite! Delicious!“

“Best food in twin The Twin Cities - The sabich is 100 - Bagels and schmear are fire - Once they make jachnun ill move in“

“Delicious and always fresh! We go every weekend for empanadas and (not sure the name) sesame , brioche type bun with cream cheese and jalapeños. That is the best thing ever. Better than a bagel.
Thank you for your hard work and super friendly people!“

“Incredible bakery, people, and mission.

If you're looking for a crusty loaf with a lovely sourdough tang, this is a place to make regular stops. Always satisfying to have their bread for sandwiches, sopping up a hearty soup, or tearing off a chunk in the car too chew on.

Cardamom spinners and almond scones are recurring favorite sweet options. You can't go wrong with any of their offerings, and weekly rotating specials keep it interesting!“

“Milly does her thing she made my future wife's birthday cake. My wife loved it!

So she made our wedding cake. Had pictures taken.

She told us how she has been baking since at least 1992... and she had picked and chose whom she would she would handle regarding her baking.

We feel honored that she blessed us with our wedding cake (she could have decided the offer).

Our cake was delivered to our wedding with a slight amount of difficulty regarding location in all honesty. But the quality and delivery ended up good enough.“

“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“

“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!“

“Delicious chocolates & the staff was wonderful!“

“We stopped by for the first time this weekend. We enjoyed our visit. The pastries are delicious, but I was a little disappointed with the gelato. I was expecting more. We will be back to try more pastries. I'm glad they offer free parking for their customers.“

“Home made goods that are delicious and reasonably priced! We are fortunate that they serve our local farmers market in Minneapolis. We tried the milk bread with brown sugar (to die for), the sticky buns with caramel (crazy good) as well as staples like the croissant and chocolate croissant. Can't go wrong and excited to try to more things from their menu!“

“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“

“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.“

“So cozy and sweet, delicious food and great service!“

“I buy their buys regularly at Mill City Farmers Market. Is there any better pie in the whole Twin Cities??? I don't believe so. I have tried MANY places. Vikings & Goddesses is so real, no fake ingredients. Fresh. Hand cut and served. VERY innovative varieties.“

“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! 💖“

“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 stopped in for a cake for my birthday (didn’t think ahead to preorder anywhere 😅) and they had so many beautiful cakes to purchase. Everyone was so friendly and the cake was delicious. Thank you!“

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

“What an amazing bakery! We had some desert, they were delicious. And I bought, hands down, the best, most authentic European loaf of multigrain bread. I wish I lived closer to shop the bread regularly, but I will make it my stop when passing through.
Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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"“

“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.“

“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 am so Relieved I am not a Grandmother. When sales clerks can’t make eye contact, say Hello may I help you or offer a bag for your item’s, the world has come to an end. I don’t care if they are “Neurodivergent” in our day it was called being a loner, lacking manners, or mental health issues. Same will “Transgender” we just want to be seen just like YOU!“

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

“The best breakfast and coffee in town..“

“Hands down the best macarons I ever had! They have so many unique and yummy flavors. The pandan coconut is my all time favorite. It's so fulfilling and is like a burst of heaven in my mouth. My baby had the vanilla ice cream topped with macaron and couldn't get over how yummy and cute it was! We love everything! From the yummy sweets to the service and cute truck. My baby is now inspired to get an ice cream truck when he grows up. 😃“

“Not only do they have amazing food they have the best staff and customer service team! There was a mix up with my order not being delivered and to say they went above and beyond to make it right is an understatement. All around wonderful!“

“Amazing best fritters I’ve ever had“

“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.“

“Yeah, these are really good cookies. I’ve had chocolate chip, molasses, and snickerdoodle in the variety pack. Great flavor and soft cookies. I will be keeping a lookout for Cookie Cart. In addition to great cookies, they also support noble causes.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“This place is such a charming, adorable little bistro! Their drink selection is fantastic, and the menu offers something for truly every craving, whether you're in the mood for a light bite, a hearty meal, or deciding between something sweet or savory. I went with the classic breakfast, and it was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“The food was very on point and the portion sizes was amazing also. good atmosphere and good employees.“

“Great hole in the wall restaurant, tucked away in a strip mall. If you're driving on University Ave, you might miss it. Their pho is excellent. I'm originally from the west coast. When I was good pho, I go here. Their steamed buns are spot on. Their service is quick. Prices are reasonable and you'll never leave hungry. You can't sleep on their bun rieu. This crab cake noodle soup is hard to find in Vietnamese restaurants in MN. Try it out. You'll be glad you did.“

“Phoned in an order for a dozen jalapeno/cheese bolillos 4-22 for p/u 4-24 morning. Sampled one (so far...) after arriving back home. They were still hot! All i can say is: O M G 😃😄😁 Heavenly Goodness ! There are fantastic ! I can't wait to share these with my friends tonight. Thank you.“
