Cupcakes near Bloomington, MN

“This place is great. A classic donut shop - opens super early, has all the familiar options (cake, raised, old fashioned, long John's, apple fritters, etc), and serves basic coffee. Seems like mostly a takeaway place but they have a couple of tables. Love going here anytime the kids wake up too early.“

“Went to the grand opening on Saturday and waited in line with some delightful people. The cream puffs were a perfect texture…not too dry and not too moist. They rank up there with some of the fanciest pastries I have bought while traveling France. The staff was friendly and patient. The only downside is the price. They are a bit pricey but I think that just goes with having a store on MOA property. I will definitely purchase more but not on a frequent basis due to price.“

“We stopped here a little awhile ago, right after they opened. That seemed to be the best time, as there is always a line, even 10 minutes after they opened for the day. Of course since we were the first ones to visit, we pretty much knew what we wanted. I had decided on the birthday cake shake. It seems that I get my ice cream in liquid form, and I don't have to worry about making a mess at all. Of course once I ordered it took like 3 or 4 minutes to get my shake. Not only were they quick, but they were really nice and friendly as well. It would be fun to go back again sometime.“

“Cold stone is absolutely fantastic. My go to is the peanut butter cup perfection, and it is truly perfection. There is something smooth about cold stone's ice cream that is elite. This location was no different. It hit on every level. Love cold stone.“

“I ordered some buntinis and the flavors were the signature flavors for the season not my custom flavors. I called and Barb and her team went above and beyond in making sure we got what we needed to be able to bring these treats to a family event. This reminds me why I always get nothing Bundt cakes! My family and myself’s day definitely got sweeter!“

“Royal Grounds is a pretty cozy little coffee shop, nestled along Grand Ave in Uptown Minneapolis. The coffee is delicious, water is plentiful, and the snacks are too notch. I appreciate that the shop discourages tips in favor of a fair wage for all employees. The decor is also quite unique and fun, especially in the bathroom.“

“The donuts and coffee were pretty good and priced decently. This is a very popular place for children and families, so the atmosphere is VERY loud. I would not recommend this place if you are trying to work or have a longer conversation with someone, as it’s hard to hear.“

“We had the BEST girls night taking Amy's macaroon making class! Located in downtown Hopkins is the cutest little bakery. The class takes place in the back kitchen area where they have designated baking stations with all the tools, equipment and ingredients set up for you! We had so much fun being able to pick out our own colors, fillings, and flavors. Im a red velvet girlie and my friend chose to do a fun, champagne filling flavor! There were so many flavors and colors to choose from, you really can't go wrong! Amy, the owner, leads the class and is so kind, down-to-earth and helpful with every step. There's a break halfway through the class to allow for your macaroons to bake. This is the perfect time to grab a quick drink or bite to eat at one of the nearby bars or restaurants. Although I doubt I could ever re-create these master piece macaroons on my own without Amy's expertise and help, it was a really great experience and the best, most delicious macaroons I've ever had! We each came out with a big batch and box of our own personal creations and was able to enjoy them for days after!! I highly recommend the class or just stopping by to purchase for the best macaroons ever!!“

“I am not big on cake but this is the best cake I have had in long. I am not a fan of the price so that keeps me from visiting every day, My favorite is the lemon bundle but the vanilla is my second love. It's so moist and the icing is not too sweet for me. When I am alone, I enjoy it with my fingers but it's probably more classy to use a fork.“

“We got our wedding cake from Buttercream, and it was AMAZING. My only regret is that I didn't get to eat much of it, given how crazy weddings are. The Strawberry A La Ritz flavor was a huge hit, everyone loved it. They were super easy to work with, and the cake was absolutely beautiful.“
