They had us using the table to mix colors since we were only given one bowl (to share) and one piping bag per person.
Katerina M.

I did one of their cake decorating classes about a year ago...Lol that class was a hot mess. I signed up for a buttercream fall leaves decorating class. The teacher thought she was doing a fondant class....so she did this whole fondant demo (which honestly wasn't very good either and I would have been very disappointed in the instruction if the class I had signed up for was a fondant class too) and then I asked, are we going to do any of the piping? And she basically said no and the lady next to me also then chimed in saying that she thought this was a piping class...which it was according to the description on the signup page..and a few other people were like yeah I thought so too! So then she does some piping demos, meanwhile we only have one piping bag per person and no bowls for mixing colors ‍‍‍ Also the cake and frosting tasted terrible. At least it wasn't a baking class. Thankfully they refunded our money, but only as a "store credit", not the original payment method. Then I signed up to take a macaron class, only for that one to get canceled a week before the class was supposed to take place. So I'm still stuck with a credit for a class.

The only way we could deal with this gloomy weekend was by grabbing pastries from @cooksbellecour on NOLO. We left with 2 whole boxes stuffed with croissants, scones and danishes, and are already making plans to check out the rest of their offerings on our next trip. 1. Cheddar Rosemary Scone: You could tell the skill of the chefs at Bellecour by these aromatic scones that were airy yet solid without crumbling in its entirety as you broke a piece. The sharp cheddar in this scone complemented the piny, herby rosemary that kept us "ooh"-ing at every bite. 2. Everything Croissant: This is our TOP recommendation out of everything we tried. The best croissant in the Midwest now comes generously loaded with the garlicky, savoury and familiar seasoning from everyone's favourite bagel in America. There may have been infinitely many buttery layers to this pastry, and we can still not stop thinking about this combo we never thought we needed. 3. Bread Pudding: Can't decide between the Pain au Chocolat or Almond Croissant? We get it, and so does Bellecour! This scrumptiously moist bread pudding is a blend of their top-selling pastries, with a hard crust of almond flakes and a thick, spiced dulce de leche piped at the top with a generous dusting of icing sugar. 4. Monkey Bread: Akin to the Pecan Pull Apart found across the road at Spoon and Stable, this monkey bread was light and pillowy as you pulled it apart to dunk it into the dollop of subtly sweet and velvety caramel in the middle. 5. Blueberry Lemon Danish: Bellecour comes up with a range of seasonal sweet or savoury danishes, and ours was filled with a tangy jam nested in a golden pastry. Although it was a bit sour for our liking, we thoroughly enjoyed the crumbs on the top of the jam that gave this danish a comforting, pie-like texture. All the pastries were sensational and transported us to France, and made it to the top of our list for the best bites this month.

Lucky charm croissant, jam and butter baguette

Just love going here for breakfast. You can seat, do some people watching, and shop around for food and kitchen items.

Small Ice Latte and a yummy Carrot Muffin
Michael S.

Grabbing my wife an iced latte and a carrot muffin this morning to kick off a chilly day in Minnesota! I can't wait for Cooks to bring back their incredible berry scones--hands down the best in MN. The staff is always so friendly, the baked goods are top-notch, and they even have cooking tools you never knew you needed.

Almond croissants and kouign Amans
Renee S.

I've been three times, namely for the kouign Aman, almond croissant and an egg and ham croissant. Everything is fresh and perfectly made. Love the beautiful boxes they place the pastries I'm, keeping them from crushing. They make a great idea for a gift because of this! Excellent bakery I'm always excited for and excited to return next time I'm in the area. I haven't tried the coffee drinks yet but my friend says they're great. Bravo!

pastries on plates
Kasey S.

FOOD: Oh my goodness this is THE place to go for pastries/breakfast goodies. I just learned that the chef behind Bellecour is also the chef behind Demi and Spoon and Stable, so there is no surprise that the pastries were incredible. Let's just say, these pastries were better than any I ever had when I was in Paris SERVICE: Service was good, you wait in line and order at the counter. So depending on how busy, you may be in line for a bit. But it tends to go pretty fast! AMBIANCE: I love love love getting to eat my pastries and then look around the cooking shop after! LOCATION/PARKING: There is street parking nearby, but if you have the option to walk it is much easier!

I dream about the Croissant Club Sandwich often. Absolute mouth watering stunner!!! Delish. Best crepe cake in the world! Have to try all the seasonal ones for kicks!!!

Chocolate chip cookie
Jane H.

The best chocolate chip cookie in Minnesota. The chocolate is high quality, it's perfectly salty, it's crispy on the edges and gooey in the middle. The absolute best

Bellecour Bakery is a silent gem in the North Loop. Their pastry's are absolutely amazing, my favorite is the crepe cake. They also put out some amazing food as well. I've had their wrap's several times and every time they perfectly hit the spot. Bellecour also offers various styles of cooking classes through the months, and I look forward to taking one sometime. If you're going to frequent the bakery, make sure to sign up for their rewards program, which gives you a discount on a purchase after spending so many dollars.

Love love love this place!! Super cute curated cooking utensils, gourmet sauces, and an amazing pastry case selection! Wish they had more seating but we found a bench outside and the day was warm enough to sit out and enjoy my sweet flaky, buttery almond croissant. Also tried the French onion pastry. Also delicious!!!

Kati M.

We love pastries and croissants, and if you do too, you have to stop in! I am a sucker for an almond croissant and theirs is excellent! I also enjoyed the chocolate almond croissant. I love how efficient the service is - not to mention I get to shop around for kitchen gadgets while I'm waiting! There is ample space to sit inside or out which is great. Parking is easy as 50th and France has ton of public parking options.

Jenae C.

It was in a super cute kitchen store with small tables scattered for seating. It was busy on a Sunday morning but there were still tables open. The coffees were very affordable for north loop. Highly recommend the chocolate almond croissant! It was flaky and amazing. The plain chocolate croissant was more doughy/soft for some reason.

Everything Croissant

This is IN Cooks of Crocus Hill so don't be surprised when you're not walking into a "bakery" but a "kitchen store" Two things that are absolutely AMAZING: Chocolate Almond Croissant Everything Croissant Twist Definitely will be going back as a "treat" spot!

Contrary, coming into the intimate home shop in Saint Paul hit different. As a Saint Paul girly, I absolutely adore small businesses. Marc Heu has a great location across from the co-op on Dale. Due to the pastry lineup altering so frequently, there are no signs detailing the pastry product so there is definitely interaction with staff members to ensure you are getting what you want. The staff is attentive, dressed in uniform and ready to take orders with a note pad upon arrival. Fortunately both days I have went, there were no lines but I also understand lines are common here which is something to be aware of. Inside there are small circular tables to enjoy your pastry and or coffee in. I would not recommend bringing a laptop as this is a tiny shop with an emphasis on eating, mingling and departing. Other reviews will dink stars because they will say the pricing is high however, I think, the pricing is reasonable giving the high quality of baking effort and the quality of service provided. In addition, this is not a spot to come 24/7, rather, special moments such as a birthday, holiday or celebration. With that, I feel like the price is justified. Line or not - the pasty variety is outstanding! My husband and I had a donut with a spiced icing and some other filling and every bite we kept saying yum or oh my gosh this is so good. Inspired from France, you will 100% feel transported as the shop itself resembles France from the interior and obviously the baking follows suit. The display case is the center of attention when you walk in. I highly recommend stopping when in Saint Paul or purchasing at a coffee shop should you happen to see the line of Marc Heu. There are a few other stores in the area, otherwise, Grand Avenue is right up the road should you want to make a day of supporting local. Saint Paul is so lucky to have a slice of France in our city. Thank you!

The croissant was beautiful and had a nice crispy crust but soft inside. The quiche was also delicious and was served with a small side salad. The quiche is cooked a bit less than others I've had, giving it more of a slight jiggly texture. I thought it was great! The parfait bowl was topped with seeds, fruit, and nuts, providing a really lovely texture. The yogurt was super flavorful too! Both drinks were tasty but especially my daughter's hot chocolate! So rich!! We will definitely be back soon to enjoy more of their baked goods and other delights!

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. You can truly feel the love and warmth (and smell the deliciousness!) of the staff and community that frequently return as regulars. The prices are some of the best around, too!

I popped in this morning to get 2 1/2 dozen cake donuts for a work event and had lovely and quick service. Donuts here are still super cheap which is amazing! There are lots of other baked goods to try here but I am so loyal to the cake donuts that I rarely want to venture out of my comfort zone. Many items in the display case look pretty delicious too though! Maybe one day I will branch out. Also conveniently close to Northern Coffeeworks for a proper latte :)

There were a few tables available, and we chose to sit down to enjoy our treats! I am not gluten-free, but I still really enjoyed their baked goods! They have a good variety of options, and their website clearly lists allergens, so this would be a good place for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. They do sell out of some items each day, so I would recommend getting there early if you want something specific. I got the vegan cheesy herb bread which uses a vegan mozzarella. The interior was soft and pillowy. The vegan mozzarella melted nicely throughout, although the herbs were really the more prominent flavor! I think it's a good herb bread, for vegans and non vegans alike. My friend and I split the cookie box. The sprinkle cookie was crunchy, and the sprinkles added extra crunch! The chocolate crinkle cookie was chewy inside and slightly crunchy outside. They were both good, and I would get them again. However, my favorite was the sunbutter blossom because of the beautiful chocolate ganache. I would recommend this bakery to anyone, gluten-free or not!

The croissants were super hefty in size and very filled which was nice and definitely worth the price. My kouign amann in comparison was really small and at almost the same price I would say was a kinda overpriced. But they texture was light and crunchy and I really enjoyed the jam inside. Bostock was dense in a good way with a layer of jam and then frangipane. You could really taste the cardamom too. Bear claw was croissant that they filled with almond, raspberry and cream cheese. Flavors were also good in that.

Dark brown, oblong slice, with a red swirl. - Mega Conchas: They're more oval shaped and 2-3x the size of normal concha. They add a really subtle anise that is amazing. Bonus if you get the strawberry one! It's huge, red, and insanely moist. Very lightly strawberry flavored. - Any puff pastry: The "Ojo de Buey" is a go-to. A ring of shatteringly crisp puff pastry containing an eggy, orange-blossom cake. They've also got a market, deli, and restaurant in the same building that are all fantastic. There's a parking lot at the entrance to those but you have to walk down Eat Street next to the bus stop to enter the bakery.
