Noodles were amazing so comforting I would absolutely recommend the scallion oil and the homemade meatballs were so flavorful. We went at the end of the day so baked good were limited. I would get the curry pastry again but probably try all new next time but my fault for not going earlier and they did give us one for free since it was closing time! Drinks were so good coconut cloud matcha was perfect ratio and I've never had homemade soy milk but it was really good and perfect to cut the spice of the chili oil. Speaking of the chili oil. Wow. I always buy chili oils that are lacking spice this one is not and it was$10 for an entire jar that will last forever Super flavorful and a little goes a long way. Place was also really cute and clean!

The cafe is remodeled and super cute with a fair amount of seating and the food coming out of the kitchen looked good. They have walk up service where you order at the counter and I just wanted a simple iced almond latte. I waited 20 minutes for it. And I was not the only one. The young girl at the front counter finally had to go in the back to find the barista because a lot of people were waiting for drinks. It's summer so a lot of iced drinks being ordered but they were not prepared and they ran out of lids for their iced cups so were using regular cups. And the latte literally just tasted like cold almond milk. :( I was already running late for my hair appointment because of the long wait so didn't have time to go back in to get them to remake it. I will not be going back there for coffee.

Information overload...are you ready?…read more Before our IVF transfer, which was a HUGE moment for us, at CCRM just across the way, we stopped into Rustica Bakery. We only had a few minutes to spare and thought, why not, let's treat ourselves. Best decision. The banana bread was hands down the best I've EVER had. I'm not exaggerating when I say I now feel like I need this in my life at least once a week....which is slightly dangerous. The space itself was busy, but there was still plenty of seating, and so many pastries and drinks to choose from. We had someone meeting us who was a little worried about parking, but there's a separate entrance (away from the mall) and plenty of spots, which makes it super easy. I'll be honest, the service didn't wow me, but the quality of the food more than made up for it, so it's still a five star experience in my book. Just something to know going in. Such a simple stop, and one we won't forget. It was the perfect moment before a really big one for us.

I ended up getting 3, two smaller ones and a slightly larger one (not pictured, $25). $53 total which feels like a lot but the caliber of desserts is worthy of the price. Service is very professional, they take great care to place the desserts in boxes and tape them down so they don't slide around in transit. The space itself is very small, just few little tables like in a coffee shop.

Had a meeting here and unfortunately left feeling really unwelcome. From the moment I placed my order, the cashier was unfriendly and barely looked at me. As we were wrapping up our meeting, she repeatedly stared over at us in a way that made it feel very clear she wanted us to leave. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but the atmosphere felt so unwelcoming that it changed my impression of this location completely. It's rare for me to leave a place feeling this strongly about the service, but I won't return to this location and would not recommend it to others based on this experience.

The vegetable soup was brothy and super flavorful yet simple. Veggies still had a bite to them yet were perfectly cooked. The salad was herbacious, loaded with lots of fresh herbs and seeds. I loved the ode to bread with the caraway or rye seeds in the salad. Super creative and delicious, The turkey club was huge and fed my husband and 2 children. The pastries were delicious even towards the end of the day. The coffee and matcha were definitely above average, and we are tough critics. Contrary to some of these reviews, there is plenty of seating for a coffee shop. Unless these critics are planning on contributing to rent for an expanded footprint, I think being proactive and taking a quick glance if there's a seat available would mitigate much of this frustration. We will definitely be back!

The bakery section is so delicious that there should be an addiction warning taped to the pastry display case. They've got all different sorts of coffee orders too, so if you need your morning fix, you're set. The place is always crowded, which is a sign that it's a well-loved hangout and eatery of the community. However, it does mean that you could be standing for a little while until a table opens up. Space always does open though, it's just that sometimes patience is required. However, it's always worth it to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food. Free parking can also be hard to find as most street side parking is full all hours of the day. Be prepared to walk a little ways or to pay the small fee to park behind the building. This is the heart of the Twin Cities though, so this should not be surprising. If I could give this place fifty stars instead of five, I would. The only reason I had to stop eating here was developing celiac disease. For those of you with free will and without gluten troubles, definitely make your way here. I cannot say enough good things about this gem.

Kari's Rating 9/10…read more Stumbled upon this place around brunch time on a Saturday and as expected, most of the pastries were sold out, meaning this place is really good and a lot of people do wait when this bakery opens. As we weren't sure what our lunch plans were, so we loaded up on 5 beautiful pastries, and got a variety, including their cinnamon roll, their ham and cheese croissant, an Ispahan croissant and an iced coffee topped off with a hot London fog. They were out of the butter almond croissant, so the worker kindly came over to our table and said I could pick something else. I ended up going with the cinnamon roll as I wanted to balance my savory ham and cheese croissant with something sweet. Wow, it is good! They add this extra sugarcoat glaze on the top that makes all the pastries shine, which I thought was an extra special touch that they made an effort to make the pastries extra beautiful. Because we ordered five pastries, it came in this really cute little white and black ribboned pastry box! Knowing they only have 18 pastries-and at 11 AM realizing they were out of most of them, no wonder they got voted best pastries in the Twin Cities! Since I am somewhat of a bakery connoisseur, I always judge their pastries off their ham and cheese croissant as it is one of my absolute favorites I get every chance I get. This bakery ham and cheese croissant had a good ratio of ham and cheese to the size the pastry. It was quite large and I realized I didn't even have room for the cinnamon roll. However, I've had flakier lighter crispy croissants at my hometown bakery, and I would have liked it to be a tad lighter between layers and less bread doughy as you can see in the pictures. Nonetheless, I ate the entire thing! Proving it was still delicious. This is definitely a place you should stop by if you're ever in the area, but make sure you get here early if you want all the variety! Bonus, as we were coming out, the bakers brought out this 3ft custard dough ball caramel glue structure out for a customers wedding cake. The worker helped put it in the car and as far as we know, it made it to its destination. See pics for an incredible wedding dough ball surprise. I can only imagine how long it took to make this structure as well as how expensive it must be considering this bakery only has two locations and everything was absolutely delicious.
