The caramel sauce/syrup here is seriously the best I've ever had. It's the one thing I always come back for and it never disappoints. Today I tried their chocolate chip cookie and wow, hands down one of the best cookies I've ever had. It's perfectly thin and so chewy, just amazing. This location is my favorite. There's a lot of seating which makes it really easy to sit and enjoy your drink. The atmosphere is super friendly and comfortable and the staff are always welcoming. read more

Rustica Bakery - Carmel latte - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Average place for coffee and pastries The mocha was not my favorite and the pan au chocolat croissant was just ok- could have used more chocolate filling and I didn't like the chocolate crumbles on top those were very bitter Best to warm those up before eating The scones were okay too - needed to eat those with a cup of tea as they are dry and crumbly The chocolate mousse cake was decent though read more

Rustica Bakery - Scones and pan au chocolat - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Rustica is a fairly lively coffee shop. There is plenty of parking as it's right by the mall. First impression is it's clean and well maintained but the staff appears to need a cup of coffee as they are not very interactive or happy to be there. Overall the baked goods weee fine. The chocolate croissant could have used more chocolate in it and I would have liked to see some additional sweet treats. Overall though I would say it's a solid spot for your morning coffee and pastry. read more

Rustica Bakery - Inside - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Wonderful location, the cafe itself is very homey. Ordered a hot caramel latte and a pistachio sugar cookie, both were very good! Coffee is strong (not just a cup of milk and sugar lol) and all of their baked goods looked so delicious! I would love to come earlier to see their selection when they open, but even in the afternoon it's a rec from me read more

Update: they got rid of their kombucha on tap. It really differentiated them from other cafes while it's still good im sad about that decision and will probably not be going as often read more

Rustica has really good pastries, which is the primary reason I've been a returning customer for over 2 years. Their pastries are some of the best I've tried in the twin cities! Bonus of pretty good coffee + kombucha on tap. The interior is a cute open floor plan with lots of tables and chairs that fill up fast. I've never had bad service! This visit I arrived at 7:50am, and by 9:00 it was PACKED! On a Thursday morning! They definitely get busy sometimes. - Parking lot at Southdale Mall - Indoor seating + seasonal patio read more

Rustica Bakery - Apricot pistachio danish - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Filled with natural light, compared to the other Rustic the Southdale location is different in almost every way. Staff is kind, friendly and attentive, lots of seating, convenient parking and a full bakery and coffee menu I'll definitely choose this location over the other. read more

The pastry is pretty good but the coffee is lukewarm and thin. I'll get passtries to go from now on.

I tried the blueberry lilac latte, the flavor was so good but there was not enough coffee flavor in my opinion, so just ask for an extra shot of espresso! Same goes for the honey lavender latte, flavor was great, but it needed more coffee! I ordered both iced and ahead and they were ready to go when I arrived! Staff was friendly and asked if I needed a drink carrier and straws as I picked up my drinks. They have a small but cute patio and the inside was very clean and airy! read more

I never thought I'd find pastries as good as the ones I have tried in Europe- but Rustica DELIVERS. Everything ja beautiful, fresh and delicious. I have always done the Flat White with Almond milk and it is so good and so smooth you need 0 sugar. I have been to 2 locations and both very different vibes, but very welcoming and great to sit for a while, and most importantly the quality consistent. read more

Big windows? Lots of outlets? Good vibes? This is your spot! I enjoy coming to this location because the natural light and outlet availability makes it a perfect place to work on your laptop. I came in the late afternoon so they didn't have lots of baked goods available so I just went with a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso. The small cup seems a bit too small so I went with the larger size. The beverage was really tasty though I must admit, I didn't taste the espresso very much. The service was great, friendly team. I did have to wait a little bit but it wasn't too bad. Parking was pretty easy & free as it's a parking lot in the front. It can be a little busy with the mall next door but I'd say it's not too bad. read more

Great coffee, great food, great service, terrible website directions 930 on a Wednesday morning, the place was busy and packed, but the service was fast and personable. Really nice person taking orders, she seemed naturally excited and happy. The store itself is new and attractive. A little noisy, but hey, it was full of happy people talking to friends and family. The music was not too intrusive And then the coffee. They brew Dagwood, which is a great choice. I ordered a red eye and it was delicious- sting but not too strong, great by itself and the way I like it, with an unhealthy amount of half and half. The food is also great. Not French patisserie level, but well better than most coffee shops The only negative? Online directions to this location blow. They are basically we are in the mall. Where in the mall? Just kidding, you can't get there from the mall. Access is only from the outside! I refused to be denied and drove around the mall untill I found it. So, website directions are a big fat ZERO. But everything else is five stars. So I forgive the directions. read more

Rustica Bakery - Lavender honey latte. Chocolate hazelnut danish - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Amazing lattes!! Homemade syrups.... And the baked goods! I was across the street at a medical appointment for a couple days and this was the closest café. I wasn't sure how high my hopes should be as I chose the nearest place, but this cafe far succeeded my expectations. read more

I wanted to go to Lake Calhoun Rustica, but my GPS took me here which made me discover the second location. Very classy area and I would say high class. People were doing business inside or ladies were meeting and talking. Slot spaces between tables like the one on Lake Calhoun. Clean inside young servers, very polite, and the whole place with the high ceiling was relatively quiet they could do second floor restaurant if they want to maximize income, like many corporations do. Both items my wife and I ate were excellent. read more

They lost a point because they don't have sugar free syrups, but I do like that they have "for here" cups that are actual china cups with handles. And I like the design on the top. The process to brew decaf coffee was long and convoluted but it gave me time to write this review, so I suppose that's a positive! I had a soup one day that was very good. You can watch people in Lifetime Fitness play pickleball through the back window if you're bored. What's not to love? read more

Rustica Bakery - Pumpkin muffin and chai - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Okay, I admit I come here for the cookies. All of their cookies are great. The Olive Bread is very good and so is the Kouign Amann. The whole family likes the Monkey Bread. It would be nice if they had a wider selection of sandwiches; not a big fan of ham. And sometimes the baguette is VERY chewy. The new location is very nice with lots of parking. read more

Finally a coffee shop aside from Starbucks and caribou in Edina! Yay!! Plus one with such delicious bakery items. This location is bright and airy, with floor to ceiling windows on the two front walls. It's located in southdale but has its own exterior entrance. Plenty of free mall parking. I had a delicious honey latte with cinnamon and came to read early morning on a Sunday. The place was busy, but still plenty of space to sit. Kind and helpful workers. Rustica is a good one glad they opened another location! read more

the staff are so sweet and wonderful. i paid $15 for a slice of bread with avocado on it, truly the blandest thing i've ever eaten. Shook to my core that cost $15. I hope the staff gets paid well given the insane pricing read more

Rustica Balery is a delightful bakery. I have been to their Minneapolis bakery a few times, and just moved near the Edina location. I tried a few items: the honey lavender latte was nice, as well as the pastry I got, and a quiche. They have a wide variety of seasonal coffees and pastries. A few things keeping this review from 5 stars- I was underwhelmed by the coffee. It was just okay. And next is the quiche. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, but I was shocked when I opened to see how small it was with the dressed greens. (Pictures below, smaller than my hand for a slice) For 12$, I'll stick to the quiche from down the road. The dressed greens were wet in olive oil, no lemon, salt or pepper. Instead of it being fresh, it just tasted like heavily saturated olive oil spinach. The Edina location staff were friendly and quick. Ambience is wonderful, nice lighting and tall windows! Overall I will go back, but probably will stick to a pastry. read more

Rustica Bakery - Quiche, ramekin for size reference. - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

The selection of pastries is excellent but they were unable to provide allergen information on any of the daily special tarts. Batistas are extremely slow at making coffee, lots of chatter and it takes 15-20mins to receive your order read more

Rustica Bakery - a slice of pie in a microwave - Bakeries Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

This location has a nice ambience and is a great place to study. Four stars because a 10 oz brewed coffee cost me over $4. I thought, surely they have free refills, but there is a $1 charge. I probably won't return, as there are equally nice shops in the area with better coffee that is reasonably priced. read more

This place is a one stop shop for desserts, coffee, and pastries with a splash of modern decor and plants. The coffee is good, an if you're into super fresh avocado toast without the extra fixings, this is the place. The staff is kind and helpful. It's conveniently attached to a mall as well. read more

Such a cute spot with delicious pastries and fun coffee! The croissants are probably the best I've had in the twin cities and the banana bread has a great crunchy topping. I got the basil raspberry mocha which was a fun spin on a classic coffee. The service is always polite and helpful. Lots of natural light which makes for great ambience. read more

I have been getting coffee at Rustic almost three times a week for times a week for a year but today I noticed they charge 50 cents more for decaf. I've been able to justify spending more for coffee and scones from there for the location, but this is ridiculous. read more

My go-to for croissants and other goodies! The chai tea lattes are also so tasty! The staff are very friendly and the vibe is comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

I had two hours to kill before the Black and Gold Elite event. I look up and see the Rustica sign, not believing my eyes. If you can imagine a quieter Rustica, it exists. It's away from all the Southdale craziness. I was there at 4. Ellen took great care of me and answered all my questions. I was puzzled by all the yellow in the blueberry muffin. She thought it was the semolina flour, not lemon. I had the peach scone at home. Both were amazing, gotta get all the peaches I can get for the season in any form. The packaged cookies, I resisted. Everyone knows how good they are! Black iced tea, they charge $1 for a refill. I sat in the sun reading and getting lots of light. I brought Basil home a caramel roll. I'd better bring him something home. They didn't have the eclairs because of staffing issues, and it is the same menu as Uptown. We seriously need robots in the food industry. The bathrooms are so cool and they face a tennis court. Not sure about the busy hours, but this was serenity. This will be my Rustica. read more

If you like two grumpy employees one cashier and one making coffee good place to come. Plus it took forever to get our coffee drinks. Very disappointed!!! read more

Great bakery! Very expensive!! Good service! Love the Almond Danish! I would recommend this place to meet up with a friend and have coffee.

Probably not someplace I'll be returning to. Not that there was anything that especially turned me off, but their prices are a bit high and the environment was not that comfy. read more
