“Amazing butter croissant and other pastries both sweet and savory. I lived in Hong Kong for four years and this bakery is very authentic to what you would get in HK! I go here when I'm missing Hong Kong. Great egg tart as well. Cute atmosphere.Parking: Free parking lot with many spaces.Kid-friendliness: I have brought my child here many times.“
“Nice to see you still in business all these decades later! I still remember working for your bakery on Opening Day and a line out the door, as your pastries deserved! Hope all is well with the lovely French chefs and family who started this place. Wishing you the best! Was so happy to see the Feuilletine Praline cake recipe still being made, my favorite treat from this spot.“
“Seriously such an adorable little place, and the cinnamon rolls are HUGE and so fluffy and caramelized and delightful! I'm so glad it's so close to my work so I can pop in once in awhile. Plus, the two guys working there were personable and made me and my friend a great mix between their raspberry tea and a kombucha.“
“I am so happy to have found Atuvava! Their cheddar biscuits are THE BEST. Great for making homemade breakfast sandwiches! Everything I have tried there I have loved. They even have some takeaway frozen options. Get there early if you can because stuff tends to sell quickly. Every staff member I have encountered has been genuinely friendly. This is an all around great place. ❤️Dietary restrictions: Exclusively gluten-free bakery!“
“Dave The Pie Guy is a staple of the community. There are many guys that like pie but there is only one pie guy. We couldn’t decide what to try so Dave put together a sampler pie for us of a piece of each kind. The pies are fairly priced and award-winning quality. I can’t wait to return to try breakfast.“
“Amazing cheesecake! I was never the biggest fan of cheesecake but this place made me a fan. I just shared some of my key lime with family at Easter and they all loved it. I shared some minis with coworkers and they all said how much they loved it as well.The cheesecake is so light and creamy. And the crust is a very important part as well that is done perfectly. I spoke with the owner when is stopped in and she was so enjoyable to chat with. The staff was so friendly as well, even holding the door when I left as they thanked me. I will definitely go back.“
“Stopped in for lunch & tried the turkey pastrami sandwich. It was SO GOOD. Way better than a sandwich has any business being. I'd say it was the special dipping sauce (it kinda was), but also everything was super fresh. I'll be back to try some treats.“
“I love it. I love it. I love it!!!! ❤️ I like and love everything about this place. I met the nicest gentleman when picking up a birthday ? cake that I had, especially made for an associate of mine for the 64th birthday, and the cake ? was so moist and delicious that the icing OMG ?. I will most definitely be back to order more cakes for more functions. This is the greatest bakery in the whole entire Minnesota..“
“Amazing carrot cake cupcakes! No nuts or raisins (this place is fantastic for folks with a nut allergy!) I love that the cupcakes are the traditional size and not those super-sized ones. Snoopy bars are soooo good! So many wonderful things to try--I'll be back!“
“Absolutely amazing! I tried the original and banana whoopie pies at a meeting, and they blew my mind! I ordered a few for my dad’s birthday, and they were such a hit! So I recently ordered some new flavors to treat the girl at my shop. We tried coconut, Nutella, and our minds were BLOWN BY THE HONEY!!! OMG, I could eat these at every meal! You gotta try every flavor!“
“If I told you an apple sweetie pie changed my life you wouldn't believe me so now you have to read my story.I'm used to getting gas station donuts. To me, grocery store bakery items are the fancy choice. Then, one fateful day I walked into "Hold the Wheat" and like a unrefined street urchin I asked for an "apple fritter." Spencer looked at the shelf and handed me what I thought was their version of an apple fritter.One bite into it I knew I had discovered something special. Flakey pastry, with a gooey, sweet center. Every time I chewed there was more crunch on my palate. I had to stop what I was doing and concentrate on what was happening in my mouth. I finally figured out it was the course grained sugar that was giving it the crunch.I told myself I would write a witty review for them but I procrastinated until I forgot about it. A couple weeks later, I drove by the shop and noticed it's name. "Hold the Wheat?" Hold on, it's also gluten free!? Mind. Blown. It never even occurred to me that what I was eating didn't contain gluten.My wife has a gluten intolerance and I knew I had to let her try it. Well, here I am. She just told me, "It's like heaven on earth."We tried the apple sweetie pie, caramel Spencer cake and a lemon bar. All of them were fantastic.Even the coffee was fantastic.I'll never be able to enjoy another apple fritter knowing that I could be eating an apple sweetie pie.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“I ordered online and did pick up for 2 dozen donuts. It was easy and the worker was nice enough to separate the donuts for me as I needed it in two boxes. The donuts were delicious and I brought them for my last day of work! They easily were gone as they make them fresh and delicious! Would come back again!“
“This is a neighborhood gem and is the place to come for rustic, whole grain and sourdough breads. Their other baked goods that I've tried including this curry roll, cheddar biscuit, and scones are also really good. The only thing I had from here that was just OK to me was their chocolate croissant. Seating is pretty limited so I have only done take out.I like that their offerings are constantly rotating with the seasons. The owner and staff are super friendly and I'm really glad they are in Longfellow!“
“This place is an absolute favorite! I come here regularly and although everything I’ve tried is great, my favorites are the egg and cheese croissant sandwich (unlike any you’ve ever had) kouign amann, and almond poppy citrus bread. It gets crowded on the weekends but if you can snag a seat inside or on the patio, the atmosphere is really nice. Walk right over to the lake if you’d rather take your food to go!I even ordered my wedding cake from Black Walnut! The Cassis Vanilla Bavarian makes for a perfect cutting cake and is beautiful and delicious.“
“A new favorite of mine. The bun vermicelli noodle salads are so good. I've tried the chicken teriyaki and grilled pork and they're both delicious. Love all the drinks...I had the brown sugar milk tea with boba, and they have non-dairy options too, like oat milk. Of course the croissants and baked goods are amazing! Will be going back regularly. Oh and the bulgogi beef kimchi fries! Fantastic!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free drink optionsKid-friendliness: Lots of space, variety of seating options, very kids and family friendly.“
“I loved my Dolche de Leche latte! It was sweet enough without being over powering. I liked the banana bread loaf as well. Street parking was easy to find too! My only complaint is that it gets super busy and has limited seating. I came to sit and visit with a friend and we waited for seating and it was fairly loud. Once it calmed down, it was the perfect environment to visit. I also found the staff very kind and calm despite it being so busy! I would visit again any time!Parking: There is a hill on the side of the coffee shop where it seems the majority of people parked. The neighborhood also has a lot of space to park. Parking on Penn is limited due to a large 30 min parking area, but I found this to be the best parking.“
“Stopped in on my Saturday morning adventure. Absolutely delicious biscuit with freshly cooked ingredients. As a Tea lover I was excited to see many different options of tea including black, green, herbal, and seasonal flavors. Place was busy, but the staff got through orders fast. Plenty of seating and a great vibe. A place you don't tell your friends about, but bring them to, because you selfishly want to be able to claim you showed them it.“
“Always good, always fresh. My kids attend school in NE so a morning snack makes them happy. My sister in law is German and I tried this place first in Osseo. I’m so happy that they are in NE. Everything is good! Trying the Pretzel with cranberry mustard today, rosemary garlic bread and the ever trustworthy cinnamon stick for the kids.“
“Great little bakery with delicious cakes and cupcakes. As a dairy-free family, we appreciate that everything is vegan and that they offer gluten free options as well! I think this place shines with pre-orders, though they do have some baked items for sale (think individual cupcakes, etc) for walk-in clientele.Vegetarian options: Everything is veganDietary restrictions: Vegan, dairy - free, egg - free, and gluten - free options availableParking: Plenty of free parking on cross streetWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Requires climbing a few stairs to enter the building.“
“Such good ice cream. It made my mouth orgasm. It was awkward because everyone around me was wondering why I was moaning so much while eating my ice dream. Then I sneezed and shot ice cream out my nose. That is how you orgasm out of your face.“
“The lemon custard tart & the boston cream pie cupcake were delicious. The house made chai was soothing with a little kick to it. The quiche & tart were good too. We went there without realizing there was no dine in, just take out. It was on a Friday morning, the demand was so high they were already running out of some items.“
“We have gotten birthday cakes for our daughters' birthdays from Queen of Cakes for the last few years, and they never fail to amaze us! Our older daughter often has quite specific requirements, and they invariably manage to accommodate her. She was thrilled with this year's cake: a "purple and gold fairy" theme! And the cake itself is DELICIOUS - we always get a ton of compliments!“
“Now, if you're lookin' for a taste of heaven right here on earth, this place is where it's at.At Cardigan Donuts, they ain't messin' around with no plain ol' biscuits. Naw, they're fryin' up the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth donuts you ever did see. From classic glazed to fancy filled, they got flavors that'll make ya weak in the knees.And let me tell ya, the folks over at Cardigan Donuts, they sure know how to treat ya right. They'll welcome ya with a smile wider than a country mile and make ya feel like family from the moment ya walk in.next time you're hankerin' for a sweet treat that'll leave ya grinnin' from ear to ear, head on down to Cardigan Donuts. Trust me, it'll be the best decision ya ever made.“
“This was one of my favorite interactions I’ve had in so long. Heather is so sweet and kind and made the whole ordering/pick up process so great. I’ve been recommending her to all of my friends and one of them is getting married and reached out to heather already to make a gluten free pie for her wedding! Can’t recommend heather enough. The cherry pie is SO GOOD!!!!“
“WOW!!! Lauren's work BLEW AWAY ALL MY EXPECTATIONS! Absolute cookie wizardry! When I threw out ideas for my best friend's favourite Pokémon for their birthday in the hopes of making them cookies, I never would have imagined the HIGH QUALITY of the cookies nor that such HIGH QUALITY ART would be possible to put on a cookie. Lauren is likely a cookie wizard because her skills are magical. Beyond impressed, and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a special high quality DELICIOUS edible work of art!“
“Parking: plenty of street parking Service: delightful people who let you try all the flavors, seriously, don't be shy about it Food: flavors are so creative and cleverly named! My favorites were the Nicollet Pothole (chocolate and fudgey) and good old vanilla (rich flavor and perfect texture, with the occasional crunch of actual vanilla bean bursting in your mouth. Ambiance: call us crazy, but we sat outside in the patio in the snow, so seating was plentiful, haha!“
“This is a Mexican bakery and butcher shop. The decor is what you would expect in a business like this. The staff is very friendly. English is a second language so be patient. They were very helpful. The baked good options were plentiful and delicious.“
“My family is so happy to have a place like this in Bloomington. The food is delicious, the setting is very cute and clean, staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Fast service. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes and cornbread waffles and coffee. Portions are large, had plenty for left overs.Can’t wait to go back.“

“Good experience in this very small bakery. Note for newcomers like myself: the actual bakery is on the 2nd floor, while the 1st floor is really like a smaller coffee kiosk. We got a delicious, decadent piece of chocolate cake from the upstairs one- very moist despite the fact that we came in near their closing time. Very friendly service and nice atmosphere (pleasant music, comfy chairs).“
“Such excellent, efficient, and friendly service, Tom and Hollie were truly wonderful and welcoming. Very cozy and clean too! Of course the food was delicious (I will always recommend the french toast). Perfect for large groups and incredibly accomodating as well. What a joy, thank you Perkins!“
“I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem while in search of a French style patisserie. There are other businesses that claim to be patisseries, but this is the real deal. The location is easy to get to, even for someone who doesn't live in Minneapolis. The parking is easy, and the neighborhood feels safe. We loved the almost dark academia ambience that is inside - warm lighting, dark interior. It creates a cozy feel and makes you feel sophisticated, even if you're just trying to satisfy the Saturday morning sweet tooth like we were. Ordering was easy, and the lady gathering our items was very friendly and explained things well. We ordered a vanilla St. Honoré, pain au chocolat, croissants, and an Elise (yes, I'm saying it in a French accent to feel more fancy). The viennoiserie are baked Euro-style, meaning a bit darker than what you'd find in a regular American bakery. The many flaky layers could be seen, and there's a delightful crunch when you take a bite. The sweetness of the Elise was "just enough." We enjoyed everything except for the iced mochas. Those weren't quite as chocolatey or sweet as we're used to. If we could improve anything, it would be to give an option to have something warmed, like the pain au chocolat. It's a little spendy, but you're getting real croissants- not Costco croissants. Will definitely be coming back.“
“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!“
“Love my little neighborhood coffee shop! The staff is always really sweet, they have an abundance of the BEST pastries and its always very cozy!Weekdays are perfect to come here and work. Weekends can be loud, so its a better spot to socialize with friends.“
“The ‘coffee cake’ muffins are as good as it gets! Very nice crumb, great flavor. I will be sending these to my out-of-town family members, and bringing to my neighborhood’s monthly ‘coffee at the clubhouse’…they are THAT good!And I got a wonderful note back from the owner, who stated they’re coming out with more flavors soon! Only Woodman’s Carrie’s them in my area. Did I say fabulous? And they freeze well.?“
“Delicious coffee, bread, small market/shop options, and the best of the best morning pastries! Take advantage of their seasonal bakery offerings- they are always top notch! I send everyone to Honey and Rye when they ask what my favorite bakery recommendation is!“
“Since my family moved from Minneapolis to Crystal last summer, this bakery is a place where my family have began to frequently visit.A really calming atmosphere to either study or relax and chat with friends.I got a mango smoothie along with some cookies, the smoothie was excellent and was a more mild sweetness that I really enjoyed.The cookies were alright, but were better than I did expect.Overall, I really like this place and is pretty close by to where we live. Definitely worth to give the place a try!“
“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.“
“So happy to have discovered Patisserie Margo - I won't buy a baguette anywhere else now! My friend and I both agreed it was the best baguette we've ever had. All of the desserts we tried were absolutely delicious also (lemon bar, Montana bar, macarons, berry crumb) and the staff was super friendly and helpful.“
“No lo recomiendo cuentan con un personal altamente inepto. No cumplen en sus órdenes te toman la orden y cuando el momento de tu fiesta llega ; una no encuentran tu nota y dos tampoco encuentran tu pastel y lo único que te saben decir es lo ciento no sabemos qué pasó .así que si no quieres que te pase lo que ami me pasó y tarde me di cuenta que les a pasado a otras personas lo mismo y en esta sucursal de la lake street en Minneapolis.tengan cuidado al elegir sino quieren quedar en ridiculo……“
“My friend recommended this place to me and it did not disappoint! The cookies are amazing! Today the choices were Banana Cream Pie (yum!) Chocolate Chip, Pink Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, something else with white chocolate chips and one that was half and half.. half dark half light.. I can't remember the names of these last 2. I would say that the business owner would benefit a LOT from employees that speak to you as a guest. There were 3 people behind the counter, not one of them spoke to me until I asked for help. Being that it was my first time in I could have benefitted from knowing that the way you order is through the kiosk not a real live person! Who knew! Call me old fashioned but I actually like when employees greet me, say hello how can I help you and thank you for coming in! As good as the cookies are I'd be hesitant to go in again.“
“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“
“We stumbled across this when looking for African food and it's the greatest gem ever in the heart of downtown. The service was amazing from taking our order over the phone to rushing to get our food to us, as hot as possible. The woman that helped us was sweet and very gracious for our business, when we should be thankful for her. This food is 10/10 in every aspect. The fufu is fantastic, the chicken and fish were incredibly flavorful and juicy. Both the rice and beans were so flavorful and the portions were giant. The plantains in the stewed beans were perfectly cooked and a perfect addition to the chicken and beans. We will be ordering from here again!!“
“I love coming here. Super quiet. Friendly employees. I’m not a fan of the black coffee, but I think it’s my palette and personal preference. I much prefer their lattes and other beverages. I wish they had more food options. I got a roll once which I thought was overpriced for a piece of bread. I just make sure I eat first now before I go.“
“I ordered my food on DoorDash and when I arrived to pick it up there was a woman helping what looked to be a man with obvious mental issues. She was getting him a coffee. She was so kind and patient with him and the amount of care with him was amazing. When done he left and she apologized for my wait and said sometimes you just deserve a lil treat. She looked like she was ready to cry. She was such a seeet woman!!“
“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.“
“Family owned company and it tastes amazing! Just like my grandma's cookies. It really tastes homemade and I crave these cookies. They have yummy gluten-free rice crispy with peanut butter/choc. topping bars. They have a nice variety. So good!“
“I love the food and the atmosphere at Yum! Everything is so delicious. My go-to is the tuna melt. Their homemade potato chips are so addictive. My daughter craves the Mac and cheese. Their nut goodly bar is the stuff of dreams. I did call them this week as I wanted to pick up a dessert for a dinner party where a couple of people keep kosher. None of the desserts are kosher which is a bummer. It hasn't diminished my love for the place but when I googled "kosher desserts" for Minneapolis, yum! came up.“
“We had breakfast here and thought it was good, but could have been a little better. My wife really liked her chilaquiles, but thought it could have used some eggs, more chicken (she had to search to find it) and maybe a few chips on the side so there could be more crunch. I had the mushroom cemitas sandwich and really enjoyed it. There was a good heat to the sandwich and it was very filling. I also had the spicy hot chocolate which was very rich and tasty.The service could have been a little better as we saw our order get finished and had to ask the server if we were supposed to pick it up ourselves after five minutes of waiting, and then he brought it to us.“
“HUGE authentic tamales. Probably the best tamales I have had in a long time and the very best I have had in the Midwest. I am a native Texan and truck driver, I deliver in Minnesota twice a week and i know something about good Mexican food.Also they are very courteous and the place smells fan freaking tastic. This place is a gem.“
“I have gotten various things from Frosted with Care, and all have been amazing! It is so nice to be able to order things that are safe for my family to eat and not worry about it. She packages items so carefully, I know that she takes great care into keeping things safe for those with allergies! What an asset to the community to have a baker like this!“
