We recently discovered Rebecca's Bakery. We pass by this area all the time, now we have yet another amazing cafe to get our caffeine fix. The espresso is very smooth here, not harsh at all, like your mainstream places. Also their Cannolis are to die for, they are a must must. If you're not feeling the sweets, they have some savory samosas. This place is kind of a one stop shop, you can get a whole cake, coffee, any number of bakery item or a lasagna to-go!!! There is also plenty of inside seating if you just need to take a few minutes off your feet. read more

See all

Spectacular dessert options including a rich tiramisu and crisp cannoli. They also have extremely affordable iced coffee options. The staff is friendly and very quick. read more

Ordered the cannolis and was pleasantly surprised by the taste and flavor--they were actually quite good! That said, they were very small for the price. I just wish they were a larger size to make them feel more worth it read more

When anyone asks me where the best cannolis are in the Twin Cities, this is where I send them. Each time I've been there, the owner Tesh has been there and remembered that I had been there before. I've dropped in twice with no notice for a dozen cannolis, and he has given me fresh filled cannolis each time. Not only are these fresh, but they are the perfect balance of sweet and creamy. Truly the best cannolis in the Twin Cities. I've also ordered their cream puffs, which are out of this world. The filling is so balanced and isn't overly sweet. My wife usually doesn't love sweets but she said this was one of her favorite desserts of all time. I tell any fellow east coast Italians that this is where the Italian bake goods are. Truly go. You won't be disappointed with these sweets. read more

Rebecca's Bakery - Mocha cake - Cafes Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you're looking for the best bakery in the twin cities, you've found it. Everything they have is delicious, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. I have yet to find a better cannoli anywhere in the cities, get in fast, because they sell out quick! Service is always with a smile. The location is cozy, there's parking in the back, and you're really stepping into one of the gems of the riverside community when you come in. I want to get my wedding cake from here! Always worth the stop. read more

Cashier was incredibly personable and kind. Went the extra mile to chat and welcome us into the place. Fruit tart was amazing. So good.

I don't know whether or not my experience was affected by the time of day (I ordered some baked goods for delivery from Doordash at around 2pm), but the place is open until 8, so I don't know if that's a satisfactory salve for my underwhelmed impression. If you're open that late, and you don't serve any other food but baked goods, I'd expect you to be able to offer a variety throughout the day. First, I ordered two pastries. One was a croissant, but when I think of pastries, I think of a short dough with some kind of filling, not a croissant. What's more, the croissant with which I tried to content myself was raw in the middle. The other pastry I haven't tried yet, but it basically looks like more of their version of croissant dough with some kind of cheese filling. That counts as a pastry, yes, but if I'd known that basically anything I ordered that had a filling would be some form of cheese or custard (I also ordered a creampuff, gorgeous but filled with custard or pudding of some sort, not creme), I might have reconsidered my order. Lastly, they were offering a pretty sizeable bag of shortbread cookies for a reasonable price. But these were not shortbread. If I had to describe what they're most like, I'd say leftover pieces of sweet pie dough smashed into odd shapes and sold as such. Shortbread is a specific thing--a rich, buttery, sweet, crisp and somewhat dense cookie. Not reconstituted overcooked pie crust. I'd have gladly paid what I thought was a good price for half the amount of the real thing rather than the generous portion of ersatz I got. I'm all for avoiding food waste, but I'm also for truth in advertising. The pound cake was okay, and the piece was very generous (I ate around 25% of it), but more like an extra moist sponge cake than pound cake. I expect a tighter crumb, less moisture, and more buttery flavor. At least a bit of lemon to it. Suffice it to say I wasn't bowled over, but it'll be good enough to have with coffee over the next few days. I also ordered an apple turnover but haven't eaten that yet. Hard to mess those up though, so not too worried. The cake I ordered I also haven't tasted, but looks beautiful, so I have high hopes for that. Overall though, I'm disappointed. Seems like the kind of place you'd best not order from unless you can lay eyes on the product yourself, in person, because the description may not match your expectations. read more

First time buying cake here, and it's the BEST tiramisu cake in town! Its moist and flavorful. read more

Rebecca's Bakery - Tiramisu cake - Cafes Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I had been looking for a birthday cake for my niece. I found Rebecca's from searching and ordered their Tres Leches cake. Also, when I was waiting for the cake, I started to talk to another couple waiting to order. They said that they regularly drive from Coon Rapids just to come to Rebecca's. Well, the cake was beyond fantastic! I am not a cake fan however this cake was so moist and not too sweet. All the guests at the party, even those that don't like cake like me, raved about it. The staff were so friendly and helpful and able to be flexible when I asked for writing on top - they did it on the spot. I have been back several times since to order various other bakery goods for me and for other occasions from Rebecca's, all delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Thank you Rebecca's! read more

Truly terrible coffee, but the pastries were ok. It's not much to go on, but I'm thinking I am not likely to return since it's not my neighborhood. read more

Great find. Divine Ethiopian coffee. The ricotta tart is beyond delicious. Friendly welcoming service.

Beautiful place, minority owned small business I went here to pick up a DoorDash order and they were very friendly

This pains me to write this. It truly does. The small cafe is lovely, clean, new, and bright. The offerings are amazing and varied. The pastries are top notch! I see they have a limited but well curated savory menu of sandwiches and Italian plates. The staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. So, what's the problem you ask? There's only one table in the place, all the rest of the seating is at a high counter facing a very lovely window. The seating itself, though limited is not the problem either. The problem is that the owner allows the tables to be occupied with friends, family, or whoever those folks may be, all day long. Its highly unprofessional. Having your friends occupy the sole table all day every day sends a very clear message to your patrons. The message is: even though you are the customer, your business is just not worth as much to us as having our friends loaf around all day. I don't prefer to post negative reviews here. That's why I wrote to the bakery directly. They didn't answer me. And the next time I went in, there they were hogging the only decent spot to sit, the crew of people sitting around drinking that I assume is gratis for them. Everything about this just smacks of low brow. What a pity. read more

Rebecca's Bakery - Fruit Tart - Cafes Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fantastic desserts and service! The man working the counter was very friendly and helpful. I called about getting a cake on short notice and he assured me they would set one aside. As it turns out, they made one fresh for me, and it was beautiful. We tried the vanilla mocha cake and the fruit sampler, and both were amazing. They also had a surprisingly large selection. We will definitely be back and can't recommend it enough! read more

Excellent cake. Good people. Recommend Rebecca's cakes highly. Not too sweet but so good.

Delicious pastries, no clue how I only recently found out about this place. I have ordered from them twice now, and think this might be one of my favorite bakeries. Have tried their cannolis, cream puffs, and mille feuille. I really like how they do their mille feuille because it isn't overly sweet like many other places. Theirs is a bit of powdered sugar on top rather than a thick layer of icing (pretty but tends to be too sweet). The cream puffs are huge. I gifted some to a friend and he liked them too read more

Super friendly staff, great baked goods and coffee, and even sambusas! Beautiful display of Italian pastries and nice storefront on Franklin

Delicious cake, friendly and helpful staff. Perfect all around.

You Map App will show 2111 E. Franklin Ave as a vacant lot because it is. Rebecca's and some other small businesses actually face 21st in a pushed back building so that parking in front could be provided. I just want bread but I couldn't see bread in the case. I asked where the bread was and a lady reached back on a counter and brought out a loaf of wheat bread. No other breads around just a single loaf with no markings or price. She flopped it down and said, "Bread, good for sandwich five dollars". Well that's direct. There is a small selection of pastry but I'm not sure it's really Italian as is marketed, I mean Baklava Italian? There doesn't seem to be any labels or prices on anything. This is a small neat clean albeit interesting business. read more

Their specialty is Italian style pastries. I especially like the Zeppole -- if you don't know, that's an Italian doughnut, kind of a sweet bagel or low sugar American raised doughnut. Just great with a coffee on my way to work. Don't forget the cannolis either! Very, very good. I've picked up boxes of assorted pastries for parties and office events: cookies, cake slices, zeppole, cream puffs. People like that they aren't getting the typical box of supermarket doughnuts and always ask where I got them. They have good coffee, and espresso drinks too. read more

The dessert I got was delicious. I need to go back and try some more. Everything in their display cases looked beautiful.

It's just not that good. Canolli was meh! The person working was very nice and friendly dho.

This is the best bakery ever!! I live for the Oreo cake and their cream puff is epic. They are the nicest, warmest folks around and it is a true gem of the Seward neighborhood. read more

One of the best cakes I have ever had (and I have eaten a lot of cake)! Super moist and perfectly sweet. Other desserts are great too. Would highly recommend. read more

Outstanding! I was visiting from the East Coast. Owner waited on me. Could not have been friendlier. My grown son ordered an omelette and waffle combination. He gave me a taste of each and both were fresh and delicious. I ordered an almond croissant that was flaky on the outside and filled with a sweet almond paste. It was fantastic. The coffee there is exceptional. I highly recommend this bakery. read more

If you're looking for delicious fresh cakes and pastries look no further! This place has some of the best cake in twin cities and luckily for me I found them when I did. I've only been once but as soon as my mocha cake is done I'll be back. Staff was friendly and the food delicious. Don't miss out on this place! read more

I go here for coffee. Plain and simple, there is no coffee like this in the metro. I'm not talking about making coffee taste good with spices and flavors and bitters and sweeteners, I'm talking about coffee in its pure form. This shop has the perfect bean, perfect espresso, perfect cappuccino, so smooth and not bitter. They also have beautiful fresh baked treats to go with their coffee. I love their pastries too. read more

Had read reviews that they had the best tiramisu. I can agree. Not only do the owners welcome you in like family, but their French desserts are phenomenal. They also have a small offering of lunch plates with some Ethiopian options. Also, fantastic food. Cannot recommend high enough. read more

Can't rate the actual food as we never got to try it. I had ordered a cake for my wife's birthday whom I was trying to surprise. When I placed the order the woman on the phone told me that I could pick it up 9AM Sunday morning. This worked out perfect for my plans so of course I jumped on it. 9AM came on Sunday and no one was working. I waited in my car and tried to call the bakery when 15 minutes passed on by and the voicemail box was full. I checked the hours on Yelp, 9AM. Google on the other hand has 10AM. Their door has no hours listed and neither does their website. Once time was up and I had to leave without a cake to not surprise my wife. Thanks for making me the unthoughtful husband Rebecca's Bakery. read more
