    Various pastries

    This place has my new fav cookie. Triple chocolate cookie. I can't tell you how good these are. No pic because well it was that good. I also tried the lemon raspberry muffin which was super delicious and big. My sis tried the ham and cheese croissant and said it was really yummy. Cute little place in Chaska, plenty of parking, lots of seating. Would definitely go back!

    Loooove red bench! It's a staple in the community. I love going here during the day & sitting on the patio. The only piece of advice id give is I would love more ice in the coffee, but the chai is amazing! They also have my ALL TIME favorite cookie, oatmeal with caramel & sea salt- it is AMAZING!! I will cut it into pieces so I can have it over a few days to make it last, I NEED this recipe.

    Great French pastries an inviting, vintage building. Service us friendly and quick. Plenty of seating indoor and out. Very popular place, quite busy at least before noon.

    I am a Chaska local and my husband and I love Red Bench Bakery. We like to take walks downtown Chaska and this is one of our frequent stops. You walk in and it has such a cozy ambiance. There is a fireplace for the colder months and both chair and bench seating. The staff has always been incredibly kind and will help me choose with suggestions if I cannot decide. They do get busy in waves. The line will be out the door but they move pretty quickly and it's only a matter of time before the line is gone again. I have preordered cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving and I have also stopped in for a breakfast treat. You can't beat their blueberry muffins anywhere else. This is a great spot for young families. They have children's seats as well. A birdie once told me the owner had studied in Italy for 10 years and makes great pizza that you have to preorder on a Thursday and pick up that weekend. Watch for the presale on their Instagram @redbenchbakery and order asap they go fast. We did this and they did not disappoint. We thought the pizza was great. This is one of our staple Chaska breakfast spots we will be back.

    It doesn't look like much when you drive past because the windows are deeply tinted and it's in a beautiful historic building in downtown Chaska. But behind those solid wood doors is pure hometown bless. Went to check out their delicious bakery that is all the rave and ordered a chocolate croissant, almond croissant black coffee and a latte. The croissants were flaky and flavorful! The latte boasted rich creamy espresso flavor and the coffee was also perfectly brewed. This is absolutely worth the drive to Chaska. And will easily become a Sunday ritual.

We arrived at 11:15 a.m. and waited 20 minutes in line to order. My sister and her kids received their food in about 20 minutes. My daughters and I, however, waited nearly 50 minutes after ordering (over an hour total) and never got our food. When I finally went up to check on our order, I had to wait another 15 minutes to speak with manager Meghan Walsh. She couldn't find our order, interrupted me mid-conversation to help someone else, and only located it after I suggested she search by my credit card. She was defensive and unpleasant the entire time. She argued with me when I requested a refund, eventually offered only 50% off, and later came to our table to blame the delay on a busy Sunday while disputing how long we had waited, despite my receipts. What should have been a memorable family meal turned into one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. I will never return to The Grocer's Table.

Thankfully we arrived right in front of a rush and only waited 5 minutes before being escorted upstairs to a fairly isolated table. The ambience is old-school-diner and the service is back-to-basics. No overwhelming friendliness or chatty interchanges. They all just keep moving, working and trying to keep up. It's not a big restaurant, even with the upstairs seating -- maybe 25-30 patrons per level and I counted at least 9 employees. That's a high ratio. That said, service was slow. We waited longer than I would have expected to have our order taken (10+ minutes), but that's really my only gripe. It's not enough to lose a star though -- and like I said, it's all worth the wait. The food is incredible. That's why you are here. The serving sizes are generous. The food comes out hot. And the flavors are excellent. I enjoyed a corned beef and hash -- substituting the country potatoes for crispy hashbrowns, topped with scrambled eggs and my date enjoyed a kitchen sink omelette with hashbrowns. We both LOVED our choices and I'll just highlight -- the corned beef is slow cooked (8 hours) and chunky. It's incredible. We talked about how we needed to bring our family and friends to the little gem of a diner.
