Cold Spring Bakery Connection

One of the better donut bakeries I've ever been to, especially the best in central Minnesota. I've done walk-in visits as well as pre-orders and I've always had a positive experience. Service is very friendly and prices are very reasonable. My favorite donut items are the German chocolate and the apple filled triangle. When it comes to pies/cakes, go for the Georgie Porgie (German chocolate) or the Boston cream pie!

Disappointed. Have had many family cakes in the past from this location that have been absolutely beautiful, creative, and detailed. Writing is sloppy and was not what I was expecting.

Love to stop here to pick up a treat for my crew. From the cookies to doughnuts, they love it all.
The bread is the best tasting by far, much better than the grocery stores

First and last visit. Bought the blueberry coffee cake. Dry, tough, flavorless, rare blueberry, inedible. Threw it away. Very disappointing.

So many delicious bakery goodies. Will definitely be back!!!

Cute little bakery with a good variety of bread and sweets. I loved the key lime and lemon bars. We did get a half dozen of prepackaged muffins that were labeled mocha but only tasted like peanut butter, so that was odd and disappointing, but nice place!

If you are from the Saint Cloud Area, then taking people you know from out of town or friends from the twin cities to this bakery is a MUST DO. Everything is made fresh and there is lots of selections to choose from. I have enjoyed over the years their dounuts, cookies and delicious baked goods. They also have GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS. This place is a treasured family tradition for many.

It's nice to have this connection to cold spring's bakery in town. I absolutely love their Persians/cinnamon rolls. Great raised donuts and other pastries as well. They also have very very inexpensive deals at the end of the day or on their discount shelves! Can't beat the price for those goods.

I come in every Thursday for 2 dozen random donuts. The CC machine is not working! Tried 2 cards.
Neighter declined! (Waiting for server) The machine is not working!! Why not manually enter the card?? Nope.....only cash...uhg the one time I don't have 32.00 in cash..... She acted like it was me. Then the nerve to say ' have a great day "I'd recommend removing her from your bakery..or she will run everyone out!!
I'll never return... loosers.........

Sometimes I come across somebody who’s not so welcoming and open minded to new customers and questions.

After hearing how great Cold Spring Bakery wa I thought I'd give it a try.
I was disappointed in how greasy the cookies were
and the coffee cake was
on the dry side and just plain bread no cinnamon filling or anything else.
I've worked in bakeries 10 yrs in the production area and have a lifetime of home baking experience. There's no way I'd serve dry anything.
Maybe I hit a bad day when I visited CS Bakery and I know I'm somewhat a perfectionist on my own baking.
Still, I won't be going back.
