Triple chocolate and red velvet
Paige O.

Came here on a weekday evening for some cupcakes! Was in the mood for something sweet and was in the area. We came and were greeted right away and to let them know when we were ready to order. We decided to get a triple chocolate and a red velvet to go. The cupcakes here are a little pricey, around $3 to $4 for each, and they are normal sized. The cupcakes were okay. Not anything groundbreaking...I liked the chocolate one, but the red velvet seemed dry to me. Disappointed overall. They also have ice cream from Sebastian joes here and well as serve coffee drinks. I will defiantly come back and try these other parts of their shop. Maybe I will try some different cupcakes next time. Overall the place is nice. The entire place is combined with a restaurant so I can imagine it can get loud. You can sit just in the cupcake side though. I will come back to try this place again.

Salted caramel, strawberry and pink lemonade. These weren't dry and gross!  Hooray!

Cupcake just lost another star. I walked in, and looked at everything. Decided what I wanted and waited for EVER for someone to even greet me. A man came to pick up an order, a person appeared helped him and then asked someone else what they wanted. I spoke up saying I'd actually been here before everyone else. She looked at me and then ignored me. Fuck that. Cupcake obviously doesn't want my money. PS. I'm not sure how this pic is attached to my review. I didn't get anything today.

Macarons and cupcakes galore
Marianna G.

I had long awaited the opening of the Eagan Cupcake. I'm a Minneapolitan through and through, but I work alllll the way out in this 'burb. I was so looking forward to a staple from my Prospect Park days to magically appear in Eagan. The entry is bright and welcoming, with colorful cupcakes and macarons lining the cases. The transition from Cupcake to The Mason Jar (the cafe) isn't as smooth as it could be, but we were seated right away and started perusing the menu. And then we kept perusing, waiting, looking around for someone to notice that we were there. After about 15 minutes of no water and no greeting, we finally stopped one of the servers who told us that we weren't in her section but she'd be happy to take care of us anyway. THANK YOU! Yes, this was a good start. For food, I opted for the cobb salad with spinach, and it was enormous and delicious. My coworker chose the soup and salad combo. Both of us really enjoyed the meals. The menu is pretty all-encompassing and ranges from breakfast all day to soups and salads to big sandwiches made on Cupcake's fresh bread. Admission: I've recently come to terms with a very serious macaron addition. Once I perfected my own recipe, I cannot pass up the opportunity to try actual pastry chefs' concoctions. The macarons at Cupcake were so pink + turquoise that there was no way I could walk out without some. My hubby is also a huge fan, so I figured I'd have a little after-work surprise for him. Womp womp. We got the lemon, elderberry, and raspberry cookies, and each of them was as dry as cardboard. Here's where I hate to say that I totally agree with the other reviewers. While I haven't had the cupcakes yet, I used to get them all the time back in the day when Cupcake meant the one adorable little nook on University. They were amazing: soft, fresh, unique, beautiful. They still LOOK like they would be that way, but one bite into the macarons and I can easily believe that the quality of the cupcakes has gone the way of the macarons: dry, bland, and not worth the price tag. I would love to give Cupcake/The Mason Jar another try. The cafe's food was good, but I just hope the brand isn't expanding so fast that it can no longer manage the quality of its bakery and service. People go to Cupcake for, above all, cupcakes! If the baked goods fall flat, you can't expect people to keep trying until it works. I'm rooting for you, Cupcake! Now, please go throw away all of your dried up treats, permanently take them off the shelves, and give your loyal customers the delectable creations they're used to. I'm sure the positive reviews will follow.

What would I want? Chocolate caramel of course. So she gets the best.

See all

Does cupcake still serve paninis?

No, however since it’s part of Mason Jar Kitchen & Bar you have access to the whole menu: https://www.masonjar.kitchen/menu

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 :)
