We had a flaky pastry with cheese and egg - excellent and not too heavy! We also had their last caramel cream filled crumpet - also excellent and it is filled so plan how you eat it. Everything else looked so good, including their bakery bread, that I wanted one of each but was pretty sure that would not have worked traveling. The place was nothing special (yet) but it was clean and had cute tables and chairs as well as counter seating for when it gets busier. It also had parking around the building AND a drive through window (for those familiar with the bakery choices or just wanting a beverage). I was not in on the initial encounter with the counter person but my husband wasn't thrilled with the interaction. Not sure which side of the counter the breakdown occurred but it is true that she didn't smile or seem to want to be there and was a bit curt when asked to warm our egg pastry. The manager stepped in immediately to make sure our pastry was warmed in an oven for a minute. (They, THANKFULLY don't use microwaves which was fine by me.) It was perfect. If ever I'm in Minot, I'll make a point of coming here with a much bigger appetite!

You absolutely cannot show up an hour before close and expect a full case, or even that day's lunch offer, (which I never order anyway.) Personally, I love that for 2 reasons: less food waste & it motivates you to get there before they run out. With that out of the way, on to the "good stuff" & I do mean that both literally & figuratively. I'll note they are listed as French pastries, this is important, as it sets an expectation comparatively to, say, the local donut shop/ the other "bread (pastry) shop" - &, they are very different styles, indeed. Humble brag moment, International traveler here & I've had the pleasure of some amazing pastries. These guys do fit the French-style that they're boasting about. They made a solid almond croissant & have some tasty savory rotations, as well as sweet. Their crepes are my favorite eat-out breakfast item in town. They offer both sweet & savory options, another bonus, as I'm a savory gal. In short, i probably don't go here as often as I should

So i called thinking maybe a mistake or just a slow day so they closed early any of those things would have been fine if conveyed to me but no answer. But instead the owner starts commenting their opinion about what the "decent" thing to do is when it comes to how i choose to leave MY review. Then she deleted my reply comment so figured i would move my complaint over here as well. Owner is much better at making food than customer service it seems.

A community focused business that continues to blow my mind with their kindness…read more Recently, another business folded d/t a health situation. Bearscat opted to accept their gift cards, so they wouldn't have to give refunds. So thoughtful! As if that wasn't enough, when the government shutdown was happening, they offered completely free grab & go breakfast bags. If you needed to eat, you could just pick up a pre-made bag. No need to order it, or ask... just pick it up from the designated area - no questions asked. Buying a full dozen? They gave you a token to pass to someone of your choice for redemption of a dozen at no additional cost. Sometimes, I wonder how they stay in business, then I remember that their financial loss is also a financial gain... as it sure makes me keep coming!

Since the…read moreday he hit 13, he's become the "no, don't embarrass me" type - stay out of the spotlight, small dinner out, no big parties, and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BRING ANYTHING TO SCHOOL OR WORK that might draw attention. Imagine my surprise, no, shock, when he replied "you know where I work" when I sent him a happy birthday message & asked if he'd like me to drop off cookies / cupcakes like the old school days. As his mom, I knew immediately that was a "yes" in code. I also knew that I was unprepared & had a 2hr lunch to make it happen or break his wee little heart after 17yrs of being told no by him. I wasn't ABOUT to let that happen. I grabbed my keys & darted to cookies to for you, with a 1 block loop, I was even able to snag a spot directly in front of the store. I went in, explained that I'm a terrible mother or maybe I have a terrible kid. Either way, I need to deliver birthday cookies/cupcakes/memories & be back at work in 87min. Without visible judgment passed & with a nod of understanding, I was presented 2 ready made options at $40ea. I went with the gold print 7 cookie + candy bouquet - (vs the multicolored print) to match the gold foil 3 & 0 balloons (the balloons were apparently NOT an approved item & did not pass the embarrassment test) that I stopped for en route & tied to the basket. Completed with 2 dozen (not pictured) cupcakes for the coworkers to enjoy along with him. Man, parenting is hard - but Cookies for You sure made it easy for me today! Whew...

I ordered the new Dipper sandwich with cheddar broccoli soup, and my mother-in-law also had the soup with a different sandwich. Panera was literally the only food I ate that entire day because I had a 2-hour drive home and was looking forward to finally sitting down and having a good meal. Instead, shortly after leaving, I started feeling extremely sick. By the time I got home, I was vomiting, and I continued throwing up throughout the entire night and into Sunday morning. I ended up with what appeared to be food poisoning, and it completely ruined my weekend. It's incredibly frustrating to drive TWO HOURS for food that I've always loved, only to end up spending the rest of the night violently sick. I understand that things can happen, but this was an absolutely miserable experience and definitely makes me think twice about ever making that drive again. I really hope Panera takes food safety seriously, because getting sick like this after spending that much money and traveling that far is completely unacceptable.
