Delighted to find such a cute little sweet treat spot. @laboulangeriemarguerite of St. Paul Was full of a French bakery vibe, beautiful treats and the kindest people. I ended up chatting with a few of the staff to hear about what items they enjoy here. Sometimes getting out and talking to strangers can be a great way to change your day around and maybe theirs. I ended up getting a sticky pecan roll and a traditional Bismarck donut. Both were lovely. I definitely will need to get back to try other items this summer!

I appreciate the floors and decoration, they 100% lean into the Italian culture. The service is always great, everyone smiles and makes sure your selection is to your liking. I've gotten coffee, macaroons, gelato, everything from here and they never disappoint. It's always a great time, especially meeting friends or just grabbing some good sips on the go. I had a gelato with one scoop of this raspberry sorbet and another scoop mango, I loved the fruitiness and texture. It's a bit pricey which knocks down a star, but otherwise a lifelong favorite. P.S. I love the parking and that ITS FREE.

After visiting Nine…read moreLives Thrift (shout out for another small business across the road), I saw that Bake Bread was open and so I had to stop. Hours are very limited, so do ensure you check in advance prior to making a visit. The concept is simple: baked goods, coffee, and an old school bus to enjoy your pastries if you desire. There is no dine in option outside of the bus and a few surrounding patio tables and chairs. To order, visit the little window and choose your pastries which are all displayed in a case. Cafe drink items are listed on the window as well and include all of the normal items such as lattes, cafe miels, Americano's, etc. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a sour cream cookie and ate both in one setting. Yummy!! Bakery items rotate and there is also the option to purchase loafs of bread. There is a cool concept where you can pay what you desire on a certain day (or more) and no questions will be asked. I enjoy this feature. The bus is really neat and includes a kid section at the back of the bus with a few books and coloring materials. Fantastic concept! Thank you, Bake Bread! Note: operating hours as of June 2026 are Wednesday - Sunday 8 am until 1 pm.

There was a bus in the parking lot to the side of your interested in eating and playing games that they have available. Their inside was closed. We tried the sesame bread (not pictured), almond scone, and croissant. The croissant was excellent - highly recommend. The almond scone, now this sounds crazy, tastes like coffee. I love coffee flavor, but if you're not a fan, maybe pass on this one. My friend tried it and I asked her how it was and she also tasted coffee prior to me confirming I tasted the same thing. Not bad at all, we enjoyed it, but be prepared to taste coffee. The sesame bread took our breakfasts to another level. Crunchy and tasty. I'm moving out of the area, but this little bakery is one worth going to for sure.

The service is always wonderful and welcoming, and I'm always delighted to see Marc himself. It's such a nice personal touch to see the person behind these beautiful creations there on each visit. You can feel the passion that goes into his craft. A must-visit if you appreciate beautiful pastries, thoughtful details, and desserts that taste just as good as they look. On street parking, can be a challenge during peak hours but usually easy to find a spot.

We will be regularly returning. The prices came across as a bit high on first blush, but after eating they were fair noting a.) the quality, b.) the work that goes into making a croissant (watch great British baking show if you aren't aware), and c.) the size (I would say they are 1.5-2x the typical croissant size, consider sharing if you're not too hungry). Service was friendly and timely.

During the taste testing phase NB went above and beyond their competition. They used the freshest ingredients, had the best representation during our testing and their cheesecakes blew us (and other bakeries!) away! We immediately hired Katy and set our date with her. On our day, NB even exceeded our expectations. Not only were the cheesecakes themselves displayed beautifully, but Katy and Tom cut each cake and made sure each plate looked decadently drizzled as it left to be served. We had so many compliments from our guests in fact we're still hearing them weeks later! I would highly recommend Nokomis Bakeshop to anyone!

All of the donuts here are wonderful - there is a large selection of cake and raised donuts, with different flavors rotating throughout the year. I have ordered 2-3 dozen to bring into work multiple times, and each time I get questions and remarks on how fresh and delicious they are. If I am in the mood for savory, a personal favorite of mine is the breakfast croissants: warm and oozing with cheese, ham, or spinach! Although my go-to is the chocolate croissant; I eat it almost weekly! The bakery also makes and decorates special occasion cakes. I recently ordered a Princess Torte for a friend's birthday, and it was a hit! I always feel welcomed at this bakery, no matter how busy or quiet a day it is.

Yoji the owner was there to help me out. It was noon so I wasn't interested in pastries. If I was I'd probably get them at Nina's where they sell them. I was looking for tonight's dessert. Had to sample the pumpkin and key lime. I get pie all over the cities so in comparison the pieces are smaller here. The taste was all there on both. They sprinkle coffee beans around the edge of the pumpkin. He told me that you have to order a whole pie a week in advance so they know if they have that one or not. It appears they really like to mix it up and offer seasonal ones. I like how you can order pie crusts year round. I bet these would even be good in a quiche. Now that I think of it, I have had the pastries at Nina's and really enjoyed them.
