    This cafe serves the same beverages as Cafe Latte and has a variety of pastries available. I went on a Saturday around 10am and it was packed, but my drink came out pretty fast. The Swedish latte has maple syrup, cardamom, and cinnamon. The latte isn't too sweet and the aromatics taste great! The almond croissant had a generous amount of sweet almond filling. There is street parking available, along with paid ramp parking nearby.

    We stopped here before our appointment at The Wedding Shoppe down the street. It was a Saturday morning and I should have known it would be busy! We were lucky to find a table, but know this is a popular spot so plan ahead! We each ordered a coffee and pastry and this cafe had a wide selection of both. My personal favorite is the chocolate croissant - you can't go wrong! There is a ramp parking lot across from Cafe Latte that we always use and has plenty of spots. This is a great quick bite spot for the weekend.

    I came in late afternoon on a weekday and the case was nearly empty! It was a bit disappointing because none of the tags were in the right place so I had to ask or guess at what I was looking at but the shop is very warm and cozy. There's free wifi and lots of seating so plenty of places for you to sit if you wanted to sip and work for awhile. I have no idea what's above this but there was a ton of rumbling and loud banging coming from above. I ended up getting a plain croissant and it was soo flakey and delicious. Probably one of the best I've ever had!

    One of my favorite bakery/cafes St Paul has to offer! This sister cafe to Cafe Latte has some very delicious baked goods and coffee drinks. Plenty of seating including but can get very busy around the 10am time slot because that is the time most of their baked goods are available. My favorite spots to sit include by the large windows to watch the hustle and bustle of grand avenue or next to the cute fireplace! Order ahead option is great in order to make sure they don't sell out of your desired choices. They have rotating baked specials each day. Thursdays after 10am is when their super tasty Scotcharoos are available. I highly recommend these! There is not an option to tip if paying by card so bring cash if you'd like to leave a tip. Street parking and lot are available at no charge.

    Just came in for the first time in quite a while, and it is just fine. In particular I like the ambiance and the service; it has a real urban-fancy vibe that hits the spot sometimes. The food has always been fine, especially the baked goods which people always really like in my experience. This time I had a panini which was good; would have been a bit flavorless without the sauce, which came in a cup on the side. The toasted bread in there was great. I got a mocha which was satisfactory. You can park in the lot behind Victoria Crossing for up to three hours; that lot can be a little dicey, and I hate how you're stuck in one lonnnnnnng lane in there. Street parking can be found as well. I've restored to parking on Summit, and that really isn't that bad. Mostly I just want to hang out here with friends for kind of a while.

    A Grand Avenue staple for the best croissants, cookies and breakfast paninis. This is a sister company to Cafe Latte and therefore offer the same espresso and moo steamer drinks. Some of my favorites include the plain and florentine croissants, fruit cup, egg/cheese and spinach panini, amaretto, m&m and chocolate chip cookies along with the spice island latte. This is a cafeteria style line so be prepared to wait. There are many tables inside and if you come in the nicer months, they offer a few tables outside as well. Fun fact: I got engaged here in 2022!

    We had a dirty chai and Swiss Mint Coffee, the dirty chai was great but I love the Swiss Mint. If you like mint and coffee you'll love that drink. We also had the almond croissant and berry streusel pastry's both of which were great. The baristas were nice and good customer service. The ambiance of the place is great, perfect for brunch or morning coffee. They also have sandwich and salad bar. We will be going back :)

    Bread and Chocolate was recommended to me in a conversation with a gal at a store one day so I ended up here with some friends. We got chocolate croissants (YUM!), coffee drinks, and some breakfast. Our breakfast items (an omelet and lunch paninis that are available during breakfast) were what we expected. The red pepper sauce we got with our food was pretty good! For drinks, we tried the turtle mocha (caramel + chocolate) and the raspberry white choc latte - both with reduced sweetness. The team members who helped us with our orders were super nice and helpful with our decision making - great service! There's a corner of the cafe with a fireplace as well as plenty of seating by the big windows where you can watch the hustle and bustle of this busy part of Saint Paul. Street parking is available in the area around the cafe. Definitely recommend stopping by!

    Bad latte with caramel

    I was not a fan of the coffee here. On a scale of 1-10 I would give the coffee a 5... For the amount of money they charge they should invest in better coffee machines. I ordered chocolate and almond croissants and they were excellent. I would come back for the pastries but not for the coffee.

    The croissant was excellent, but the barista was bad tempered and gave me a latte that scorched the roof of my mouth.

Having to ask and get descriptions. Not an inclusive model. I loved everything we got! The cronut was my favorite for sure!

    Marc Heu's is phenomenal. I have had the pastries at varying coffee shops since they outsource…read moreproducts to, for example, Dogwood coffee. 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!

    I will never stop recommending A Bakers Wife to family, friends, and neighbors. I first discovered…read morethis bakery when I moved into the surrounding neighborhood, and have since visited more times than I can count. 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!

    Another long time favorite of mine, if you like cake donuts you gotta get 'em here! I am a fan of…read morethe classic cake donut, chocolate frosted, maple frosted, powdered sugar, and cinnamon sugar cake donuts. Great with coffee, great to walk in and get a couple dozen for a work event or gathering! The space is small and gives a very homey vibe but I believe they were bought out by Woullet recently. 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 :)
