Donuts and cupcakes
Lu Z.

I've been getting cupcakes here for three years, and they are always yummy and unique. They offer lots of gluten-free options, which I really appreciate. Definitely check this place out! The chocolate chip cookie is a 10 out of 10, though it's slightly on the smaller side. The Irish sausage roll was scrumptious! They also have coffee and drinks, making it a nice spot to get some work done or hang out with friends. The space is small but clean. The service is fast and friendly!

Cupcake variety
Megan M.

I got a "too good to go bag" from Amy's and it was a great variety at a amazing price! The cupcakes are $4.50 each ($5.50 for a vegan/gluten free up charge), and I got all 6 cupcakes for $9.99 ! They were still delicious and fresh. They put on that frosting, it is layered thick! The cookies looked good too, I'm going to have to go back to try those!

My friend and I ate across the street and she wanted to pop into this cute little corner bakery for a dessert treat. Amy's was really cute and fun. They have one counter with all products available displayed nicely behind glass. I am a sucker for macarons so I bought a box of half a dozen. I haven't eaten them all but so far I find them to be fresh, right texture and the chocolate ones are great. I did think the buttercream in some of them was a bit too soft. But I have very high standards when it comes to macarons. Overall, pretty good and definitely passable. My friend got one of the many types of cupcakes available. They all looked just lovely but I was too tempted by the macarons. There are also a variety of cookies/moon pie type treats available, plus coffee and beverages. I also thought it was cool that when we visited, there was a macaron-making class going on in the back of the store. How cool! The service was fine, and the prices were in line with what I'd expect.

Macaroon making class
Anna T.

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!!

Drove 20 mins to get here and it was worth it! They had multiple cupcake options to choose from where you can find a type that fits your palette. I got the mint chocolate chip and almond wedding and my roommate got the funfetti birthday and vanilla bean. The icing was nice and not thick at all and the cake was soft! They had a small seating area and free water if you decide to eat in the shop! Will definitely be back! I will try the macaroons next time

6 cupcakes for wedding tasting
Anya L.

I am very impressed with this bakery, and will definitely return! I originally reached out to them about doing cupcakes and a cake for my wedding. Jenn responded promptly and helped me out with pricing, choosing flavors for the tasting, and asking when I would like to pick up the cupcakes for tasting. I received four complimentary cupcakes, and then paid for two additional flavors, which were very reasonable. When I arrived to pick up my order, the staff was friendly and the interior was adorable! It was a great location as well. I really appreciated that the cupcakes were each labeled inside the box. Each flavor was amazing, and they were moist and delicious! I was very happy with them. I'm sad we can't use this bakery for our wedding, because our venue has a preferred bakery they work with and we would be charged a large catering fee if we used a different bakery. So, I emailed Jenn back and let her know that we would be using a different bakery because of the venue's catering fee. I'm disappointed, but I will definitely come back for a birthday or other special event!

Cupcakes galore! I couldn't pick just one flavor so I got ALL the flavors! The cupcakes and macarons were to die for. In fact the macarons were so good I ate them all on my drive home and didn't get a chance to get a picture of them. If you are gluten free this is the place to go! When you walk into the store all of the cupcakes and macarons are displayed so beautifully! I will definitely be visiting Amy's Cupcake Shoppe again.

My damn! I didn't know cupcakes came in gourmet! And are these dairy-free?! LOCATION & DECOR: On a strip with plenty of foot traffic and street parking. Brick building, modern decor and large windows for plenty of natural light. FOOD: Cupcakes, cakes, cookies, sweets and treats. Lots of flavors and varieties. Full treat customizations. Pre-order for allergen-friendly food options including dairy, nut, and gluten free. PRICE: $3-$4 depending on fixings, toppings and decorations. 2 tiered cake with custom fondant, decorations and text serving 18 people for $150 STAFF & EXPERIENCE: Amy is truly a friend you need. A kind, caring and compassionate individual with an inclusive and health conscious approach to baked goods streaming from her own plethora of dietary restrictions. I came in a stranger and left as family. If you want a truly good treat and a good time, just stop in here on your way through town or for your most special occasions.

Beautiful, inviting packaging with instructions
Sophie L.

so happy I treated myself & da adorb hubby to the Macaron of the Month Box from Amy's Initially, the flavors drew me in: Lychee Lime, Coconut Raspberry, Vanilla Latte, and Rosewater And then I was blown away by the beautiful packaging and the delish macarons.... Omg!!! You TOTALLY knocked them out of the park!!! NAIL IT!!! I used to spend hours making batches of macarons trying out the Italian, French, and Swiss methods but never reached anywhere close to this level of perfection!! Look at these: Unbroken beautiful macaron feet Smooth, crispy, eggshell like top Filing Ratio Matching shells 12 fresh macarons, 3 per flavor, in temp-resistant packaging I'm now an Amy's Cupcake Shoppe stan Gotta support your local baker extraordinaire!!!

Amys not only.makes some of the best cupcakes in the city, they make some of the best desserts overhaul. Everything from the macaroons to the cookie sandwiches are Divine. Inadditon, they can do custom orders like a beautiful stein cake they did for our Oktoberfest party.

I have already been a fan of Amy's for the occasional sweet treat, but taking the macaron making class with Jenn took my adoration for this local bakery to new heights! We got to pick out our own flavor combinations and Jenn patiently walked us through the process, giving us helpful tips as we went. The class allows for a dinner break, giving us an excuse to check out one of the many restaurants within a short walk. We ended up coming home with an abundance of macarons and the recipe to make them again at home. Getting to work "behind the scenes" in the bakery with only a group of 4 made the event feel personal. We all learned a lot about technique while having a wonderful time. I highly recommend the experience!

Stephanie L.

The outside of the building is very nice. The inside is cute and cozy as well. The front of house doesn't scream cupcake shop to me. Only 6-8 choices. The employee who helped us was extremely helpful and explained any questions I had. Chose 1 pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate vanilla. The chocolate vanilla was awful. I was so excited to eat it but couldn't even finish it. The chocolate cake was so dry and hard it almost seemed it was from the day before. The frosting also had NO flavor. Presentation wise it looked good. The pumpkin cheesecake wasn't much better. There's nothing cheesecake about it. The pumpkin spice was there but that's about it. This one seemed to be baked the day of (softer cake). I love cupcakes but I will never go back here.

We stopped in here while we were attending the trick or treat event. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I loved the Halloween style desserts they were offering. I'll be back soon

We got a couple donuts and I got a London Fog latte - all of which were delicious. We also picked up an assortment of cookies - my brother-in-law and I love to sample unique foods, but particularly baked goods. We also picked up a couple cupcakes for a picnic we planned to have at the falls later in the day. Everything as good - there was a coconut oatmeal cookie (I think) that I loved. Part of my experience at any place is always customer service along with the food. It matters to some but doesn't matter to others. I will say, it was really off putting because the two people we came across to help us seemed put off by a couple questions I had and when I asked for their recommendations. There was no line behind us, not a single person, and we went back and forth on some flavors so maybe that upset them. I don't know what it was but it left an unfortunate impression.

Stopped here to do birthday desserts!! Here are the key things to note!…read more Free parking Great patio!! It was covered and the flowers around this place are gorgeous!! You are looking out to a street but the flowers REALLY make up for that! There is inside seating as well, table and chairs. You walk up and order. The desserts and separate from the main course items. I appreciated that! Made the lines go faster. The service on the other hand was lacking. I stood there waiting while 2 people had a convo and I felt ignored. I dropped a star for that reason. The key lime pie and dirt cup were very tasty!! This place is known for its "pattiecake" but I just felt it was a regular chocolate cake with frosting. They have plenty of desserts though! Overall this place gives "up scale Panera vibes" and I liked it! I would go back!

After several visits over the last few years, here are my thoughts…read more -Lots of seating! If you're looking for a table indoors and the main area is packed, head to the back (towards bathrooms) where you'll find two rooms with additional seating which are usually quieter. - I tend to go for sandwiches, which include house made chips. Honestly, when I first went, I wasn't a fan of the chips, but it didn't take long for me to like them. Once while dining in, I found that most of them were just tiny bits. Well when the waiter came to ask how things were, I told/showed him... just as an FYI, not expecting anything. Well, he kindly brought me a bag to replace them. -The staff is mostly kind, with two male waiters/runners being especially nice and helpful. While myself or others are waiting they'll give friendly smiles, see if you need anything in the meantime. I like them! - Although I go mainly for the sandwiches, (my favorite being the Southwest Chicken Panini available in the Fall), I also like the mac and cheese and fries. I used to love the coconut cake, but something about the last one I bought tasted different. The filling and the cake texture... weren't as tasty as I remember. During my last visit I tried, the Reuben. Not for me, but they have lots of other things to try.

I don't know how to visit this store to try it. The first time I tried, I went by the hours listed…read moreonline, even on their own site. When I arrived, the door showed completely different hours and was not even open that day. I called the number on the door and told them their online hours and days were incorrect but so far they have not been changed online. The hours on the door are Wed-Sat, noon to 3pm. So today is one of the days the door says they're open. I got here about ten after 12 (it says they open at noon), it's now 12:20 and there's no one here. I called the number on the door and it goes to a voicemail that doesn't even describe say its name so I'm unsure if it's the correct number. As Im in the lot another customer came. She asked me if I knew what was going on. She said her daughter had a wedding cake from here that was wonderful and she had done a tasting with her other daughter. She's been trying to order a wedding cake for her. She said she got ahold of someone once, they told her to come in to order it, and it's now been three weeks and she has tried and no one has responded to her request. I've heard great things about this place and wish I could go in. I'm going to assume that since no one is here now they have not baked any cakes or at least not fresh so it's probably not worth waiting around. I really hope to try this place, the cakes are supposed to be great! But I'm a little irritated that I've now driven here twice from southeast Minneapolis and no one is around.

We weren't sure about what we would find since the menu is not on the cafe website and there were only a few Yelp reviews. WE ARE SO GLAD WE WENT! The cafe is pretty new (the bakery has been in the space awhile though), and I hope so many folks get to come here. It's a chill vibe and the people working there are very laid back but attentive to be sure you have what you need. I am American, but it looked to be a pretty authentic British cafe menu. I didn't get to grab a photo of the lunch and breakfast menu, but there are many options and also some veg options! We were there for breakfast and I had a Full English vegetarian breakfast and my spouse and child had really awesome breakfast butty sandwiches. We had been telling my kid about British scones versus American scones just the day before, so although we had plenty of food already we grabbed a couple of scones and cups of tea. The scones had very mild and nice raisins and came with jam and clotted cream. We loved it all and want to get back out this way soon for high tea or Sunday roast (for which I did get menu photos). Worth the drive from St. Paul! Thanks for a great morning.
