My…read morefamily and I frequent the deli and pasticceria, only going to the actual restaurant if we have a big group. The pasticceria is sooo cute and decorated like a little cafe in Italy. 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.

I live close to the St. Paul storefront of this charming macaron maker, but I only just popped in…read morefor the first time (I'd have visited sooner except that I only recently discovered how awesome macarons are, why did no one tell me sooner). Also, they don't have many storefront hours since they seem to do most of their business online and via catering (and a cute, vintage truck). But on Saturday I was able to pop in and get a box of fresh ones, and they're the best macarons I've ever had! Most macarons look the same, but you can spot some fanciness in these, and you can really taste them when they're fresh, so flavorful! I wound up putting most of them in the freezer for later, and it turns out that if you do that and let them defrost for an hour, they are delicious that way. My favorites so far are the orange/chocolate, the strawberry shortcake, and the marshmallow flavors. These are an appropriate offering for a party or event that's kind of special. And as they are fond of pointing out, macarons happen to be 100% gluten-free. Although I went to their nice shop in St Paul, you should look for them at Surdyk's or at Nadia Cakes. Super tasty!

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.

The food was good, and the desserts and pastries were definitely a highlight for me. I also really loved the ambiance. It had a nice, relaxed atmosphere that made it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. I especially like the location because it's close to downtown, making it a convenient spot for a quick dinner before a game or a casual place to bring friends when you're showing them around the city. Overall, Casitas is a solid spot with good food, generous portions, great prices, and a nice atmosphere.

Tonight I went with my dad and we shared a chicken parmigiana entree and a large salad. With two sodas the bill was $43 (+4% CC fee), and we both were hungry after. Portions of both were small imo (estimate the chicken cutlet was 4-6 oz) the flavors were solid/classic. Lastly, their complete lack of flavor effort at sustainability was off putting. Everything served in plastic, disposable, zero recycling. I don't plan on returning soon.

There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!

We ordered the chicken salad on a croissant and the ham and Gruyère on a baguette.

We finished with a small citrus tart, plus a cortado and cappuccino, and everything was delicious. Great food, wonderful service, and incredible pastries. Do not miss this spot!

I ordered the seasonal latte with coconut syrup and oat milk, and it was delicious. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the espresso perfectly. I also tried the smoked salmon croissant. The croissant itself was flaky and flavorful, although I could have done without the poached egg, especially since it was served cold. The pastries were a highlight! The citrus tart was fantastic and reminded me of a key lime pie with its bright, tangy flavor and beautiful designs. I even brought a few pastries home, and they were just as enjoyable later. One of my favorite parts of the visit was enjoying breakfast on the patio while people watching in Kingfield. I also had no trouble finding free street parking right across from the patisserie, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great breakfast spot with friendly service, delicious coffee, and excellent pastries. I'd definitely come back!

There is a self-order kiosk or you can order at the counter. Food was mid in all honesty. The Strawberry Matcha Ice Cream was probably one of the biggest misses I have ever had. It is vanilla ice cream with strawberry jam at the bottom, and whisked matcha (still warm!) on TOP of the ice cream, making it a major spill hazard. This was pretty disappointing since we were expecting actual matcha ice cream (and maybe it was wrong of us to assume so). I wish the kiosk had images of the items for ordering though...didn't seem like there were any and you just had to hope that what you're getting sounds intriguing enough just by the name. Boba Ice Cream (brown sugar syrup) was okay. The brown sugar syrup was what was saving the entire thing. It's aesthetically cute, but it doesn't wow me. Def a cute spot, but it's only Instagrammable foods. Not worth for the taste though :(
