That's how I found myself at Cold Spring Bakery and what a terrific find it was! I bought an assortment of cupcakes, along with a petit four (well...it was almost our birthdays, too, so it called for a celebration).

We got the cinnamon roll (MUST get it warmed up, so gooey and yummy), the chocolate + orange cupcake (not for me but bold flavors and just a little crumbly!) and four donuts: the glaze (6/10), zebra (7.5/10), Oreo (4/10 - good consistency just WAY too sweet for me), and the cinnamon sugar (9/10).

CSB isn't somewhere that is pushing the boundaries of baked goods, but they're the place that has been doing it for decades and knows what they're doing.

It's not a secret how good it is, so get there early before everything sells out!

We arrived for our appointment and David was the only person in the shop. We sat down to do our trial and a customer duo came in. One who we assume knows David personally who was bringing her "out of town friend" (we later found out her friend is from Golden valley) to try out the cupcakes. David left us at the table and never came back for questions. We kept trying to signal him to come back as we had questions on if we could put certain fillings with certain cakes. My anxiety started to climb as he continued to ignore us for these two ladies purchasing 2 cupcakes. This was my first time ever being a bride and I am a baker since my grandmother taught me to bake when I was little. To say I was looking forward to picking out my wedding cake more than my wedding dress was accurate and yet here we were being completely ignored by David. After they had a long conversation about this and that David finally came back to us and asked what we wanted to do. My fiance stepped up and said we had a few questions. I then began to ask if we could pair the caramel with the white cake and Davids response was as if I was the dumbest person on the earth for not knowing you can not put it on white cake since it cant support it. We asked if the cookies and cream filling could be put on white cake and he just kept giving us answers as if we were wasting his time. Not treating us like we were going to purchase large cake for a wedding. I started to shut down since I started fearing asking any questions. He then started asking us if we wanted tiered or cupcakes and obviously I had questions about if pricing would look different and all that so my husband had to ask the questions. I ended up in tears unable to make a decision and hating my interaction with David and his lack of customer service. We walked out of there with myself in tears unsure what to do because David was absolutely the worst. We reached out to our venue/catering manager about the experience and she told us that should not have been what happened and told us we should try the st paul location and that she would ensure we have someone who is actually friendly to work with us. If we were not required to use this bakery after this experience, we would have not.

We hit one of these a few years ago in Florida, so we wanted to hit it here. We ordered the classic 6 pack. When they came put with the cookies, I was a bit surprised as they were smaller than I remembered. It was more like my cookies baked at home, very different than my original experience. When we got to the car some where warm some were not. I got the gluten-free cookie, which I appreciated them putting it in a separate bag, though I wouldn't put that bag in with the other cookies because of cross contamination. That was the cookie I ate, and it was warm and gooey. It was good and worth the price since it is GF. The other people with me said the cookies were good. Again, only a few were warm. But they didn't think it was worth the price. But it makes sense ased on being by a college these are popular. I did it, I don't need to go back.

Anyway, the location was nice and had a fully stocked inventory. The cookies are super warm and melty when handed to you. The only reason I took down a star is because the cookie was so soft and undercooked that I couldn't hold it. Which, don't get me wrong I looooove soft cookies but it was too doughy in the middle to hold. It was still really good and I'd get it again but I wish it was a little more stable.
