I love this bakery. Everything here is always fantastic. No matter what seasonal flavor or changing bread is in, I have found them to always be excellent. I love the seasonal galettes, both sweet and savory. The breakfast sandwich is my go-to. Coffees also never disappoint, are big and strong. Hands down my favorite bakery in the cities.

Not a fan of secret mustard in ham and cheese croissants. But the pineapple danish was more than friendly and put my crown back on.

Holy bananas what a terrible experience.$8 iced coffee I waited 20 minutes for was made wrong. Waited 25 minutes for a bagel when their machine was down and they didn’t bother telling us, with no apology. Yikes.

Delicious! We got the baklava tart (5/5), the strawberry lemonade (5/5), and the blueberry lilac latte. Our only reservation is about the price and wait; I’d say spending $25 on three items is a bit much, especially for coffee and lemonade (the tart was a specialty and we knew that!). The wait time is to be somewhat expected, but it’s been 20 minutes and we have yet to see the latte. (Update: the flavors were VERY subtle, almost not worth getting. But the quality of coffee was very high. 3/5; would be 5/5 if I’d just ordered a plain latte.) Plan to come here on a leisurely day.

What a nightmare! We ordered two sandwiches and a sweet galette, and two drinks. $45 later, we had one sandwich that was the wrong order, one coffee, still waiting on the other… and when I went up to get the right sandwich, we waited over 20 minutes for it to arrive at the table: long enough for everything to be cold, including the second drink (a steamer) that had almost no vanilla in it. When the correct sandwich came out, my child gagged on the nearly raw bacon inside. We threw out everything and drove home. I guess I’ll be making brunch now after wasting an hour at Rustica.

I love to stop here when I'm nearby. The bittersweet cookies are beyond delicious.Their coffee drinks have a more mild flavor, but the ingredients are high quality. The store has lots of tables and seating, though it's tight for standing space if you're opting for to-go. The staff are kind and quick.

Very good bakery/lunch spot. Variety of French breads and pastries, not just blonde croissants.
Bakery items were fantastic. Coffee was above average. Very busy in a Sunday morning, little seating available at that time.Parking: Parking is competitive in this area.

It's been a while since I've been to a coffee shop where I left disappointed. It was pretty busy, but we waited 20 minutes for two coffees. My wife got a chai tea latte that had only a suggestion of chai, and I got a caramel latte that burned my tongue due to oversteamed milk. The monkey bread and almond danish were pretty good, but only after we took it home and warmed it up. I'd definitely recommend many other coffee shops in the area over Rustica. That said, the atmosphere was awesome, but that isn't the main reason to go to a coffee shop.

Pretty good. 4 stars for pastries. Nice large seating area. Lattes are much better at honey and rye though.

Fun breakfast option west of Uptown. Stopped by here on a Saturday morning ~9:30 to catch up with a friend. Boy was it packed, all the seats were taken. Take a note and have one of the party stake it out, since seating is at your leisure. The pastries greet you on the right with the drink menu straight ahead. The line was backed up on the drinks, so be prepared to wait for a while if you do order one or come at a different time. The pastries were good. Not my favorite, but better than grabbing one from Cub. For being so early in the morning, I was hoping for them to be warm, but the pastries were room temperature at best; I guess that display cabinet is refrigerated? Would prefer they store it at room temperature if possible. Note: There was a customer that seemed to have fallen asleep at a table when we arrived, staff took care by the time we left.

I was waiting for my coffee for 30 minutes. Two regular latte to go. It was not busy time, it was only 4 coffee which barista was doing and two out of four are mine. She was talking too much with people on the bar and was too slow! Never coming back. Waste of time!
Really nice place to get weekend coffee with friends or to sit and study. I recommend the blueberry lilac latte and any of their baked goods :)
