We had a mix up with our order when my husband went to pick up our cake, and Margo personally called him to let him know they would make it right! The cake was for my daughter’s bridal shower. They made us a fresh cake within 4 hours and personally delivered it to the shower just in time before it started! Some of the best service recovery imaginable. Everyone raved about how delicious this cake was! We got a lemon and raspberry mousse buttercream white cake that was beautifully decorated with lemons, raspberries, and some bridal pearls! Thank you Margo for going above and beyond!

Having been there six or more times has let us taste a variety of things. I’m a taker for the soups and sandwiches. I’ve also had the Mushroom & Thyme Quiche for lunch and will order it again.
All the pastries look tantalizing, and we certainly trust their baking skills and recommendations.

The scones have great texture. I Iove how there is a “crunch” to the crust. The blueberry scones may be my favorite, but they are all worth trying. Like all scones, go early and get them fresh out of the oven for the best If you like flavored croissants, try the almond and chocolate croissants – even the "plain" croissants are excellent. For chocolate lovers, both the Caramel Chocolate Dome, and Flourless Chocolate (GF) with chocolate mousse are fabulous sweet delicacies.

Upon high recommendation to try the Gingerbread Stout Beer muffin, we did. Shockingly, amazingly good! When you want to serve cinnamon rolls for breakfast, they have an excellent recipe. I prefer the pecan ones. The lemon squares here are the very best in the Twin Cities. You can secure a table both inside and outside.

The coffee is okay. It is nice that we can buy scone dough to take home and bake fresh for guests. The bakery staff are very helpful and know their product. We’ve always been able to easily find a parking spot. Margo, we miss you in Excelsior but are glad we can still find you. Thank you so much for running a stellar European-like patisserie business.

Highly recommended.

Possibly the best quiche I’ve had in my life! To be clear, quiche isn’t exactly a go to for me but they hit the red pepper and caramelized onion quiche out of the park, will be coming back. The coffee was also delicious and the staff was undeniably kinda and welcoming.

This is a lovely place. I was looking for a new bakery to check out and found this one. Parking was decent, they had a spot just for people visiting the bakery. That was cool! So I walked into the building and it was bustling with customers. That is always a good sign to me. I looked around, I saw that they serve one of my favorite espresso drinks, a Miel! So I already knew I'd be getting one of those for sure. The pastry area had so many options that looked so good!! I was on the search for a few delicious treats to bring to my child's favorite teacher. I saw many, so I decided to get a good selection of sweet treats! The lady that was helping me choose was a very awesome person!! She talked me into getting a cherry tart as well ?. She put all my items in a box and told me "Well don't you have a beautiful box here!" I agreed it looked delightful. I let her know I'd be getting a Meil also, she made my drink lovingly. She actually looked as if you enjoyed the process of making the drink. When you enjoy what you do it makes it taste SO much better. Extra cinnamon, a little on the sweeter side with the honey and she came over and poured the steamed milk in my cup in front of me. That seemed very genuine. I let her know I appreciated her service.

As for the desserts, they are so delicious honestly. I was in love with the Panna cotta. I forgot to get a picture of that but the balance of the mildly sweet custard with the tart mango ? puree was awesome , the chocolate dome dessert was to die for!! The other treats went to our favorite teacher!! She told me they were wonderful and really hit the spot for her.

So overall, great customer service, atmosphere was lovely and the food a delight. Will I return YES!!! If you haven't been there, you need to try it for yourself.

Just went here for the first time and was VERY impressed. The coffee is STRONG but not bitter, and they let me put my own cream and sugar in -- which I appreciate because I'm finicky about my coffee, but they'll also put it in for you if you'd rather. They have the biggest croissants I've ever seen, and my chocolate croissant was SO flaky and fluffy. My small coffee and croissant were under $7 which is bonkers. I was attended by a gentleman who was very helpful and enthusiastic about his work. I will definitely be back.

I will start by saying that I love pastries. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur. Bakery "hunting" is a bit of a hobby.
The croissant I had from this establishment is the best one I've had since I was IN FRANCE. The kouign amann is delicious (not as flaky as I prefer but still -very- good. The filling in the almond croissant was delicious. The apple turnover was maybe the best I've ever had. The filling was like picking an apple off of a tree- so fresh and soooo good. The strawberry cream cheese pinwheel was not outclassed by anything (I feel like that is a common occurrence with other pinwheels lol ). I would give the food an even higher rating if I could.

The service was good- we were helped by a slightly perturbed looking young person who wouldn't or maybe couldn't speak loudly enough for us to understand despite a few rounds of "can you repeat that louder please" otherwise they were quick and efficient. also, the price is very reasonable- we paid about $26 for 5 pastries, 1 Cafe Miel and a tip.

The atmosphere is very utilitarian but ultimately quite charming. It's located in a strip mall and the walls are covered with photographs from local artists. I will be a repeat customer for certain.

It's such a cute place! Great coffee and the sourdough is amazing! I also love the ham and cheese croissant!
