    Rustica Bakery is very good. I came on a Tuesday afternoon and it was packed, which caught me off guard at first, but made sense after trying the food. I ordered the salmon lox bagel sandwich, which came on a Turkish bagel that was soft and chewy in a really nice way. The sandwich was served deconstructed, and while it was good, it felt a bit unbalanced. There was not enough salmon, and the capers made it a little too salty for how much was on there. For the price, I think they could be a bit more generous with the salmon. The bread itself was excellent though. I also got a slice of chocolate cake, which was really good and something I would order again. I plan to come back to try their coffee and more of the desserts. The service was solid, and while the space is a bit cramped, it is still a really nice place to sit and spend some time.

    Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich.

    Stopped here around 8:30 on a Saturday morning and we definitely beat the rush. By 9:00 a.m., the line was already to the door and pastries were flying off the shelves. I ordered their basic iced chai, which was delicious, and for food I tried the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. It comes with avocado and roasted garlic chili mayo and it is hands down one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The staff was incredibly friendly, and both the food and drinks came out fast even as it got busy. Getting there early is absolutely worth it. There are plenty of tables to seat down and enjoy your coffee, which is a bonus. Parking can be a bit tight since it's located in an Uptown strip mall and fills up quickly, but people are leaving so I have always been able to find a spot. I would 100% come back. If you can swing a weekday visit, that's probably your best bet!

    Bacon, Egg, & Cheese

    I am shocked that I did not go here sooner, everything I had was amazing. I am going to highly recommend the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich. It comes with avocado and roasted garlic chili mayo and makes other breakfast sandwiches look bad. I also enjoyed the seasonal caramel apple latte. However, be warned that when ordering a sandwich and a coffee that you might just finish your sandwich before your coffee is out on a busy morning. Just get it to go! Also, please get the Kouign Amann, it is a buttery caramelized croissant that you will not be able to put down!

    Rustica Bakery was a perfect coffee stop this morning before heading to Uptown. The service was super quick and friendly - helping us pick out an amazingly delicious blackberry lavender scone. The place was busy, but full of good energy! Great vibes. Of course the latte was smooth and yummy too!

    Delicious chocolate pastery

    Nice cafe shop with lots of seating indoors and some outdoors. It is a little tight fit with how many tables are in the front. Drinks were good and pastery even better. Drinks came out quick and they had a separate person do the pastery so I got that right away.

    Good vibes, quick service & friendly staff! Anytime I am at this coffee shop there is a consistent flow of people which shows me it's a staple coffee shop! The bakery always looks fireee! I got the matcha tea & it was perfect. Earthy tasting, but not too sweet. Also came with a cute design which we love esthetically speaking!!

    Amazing cafe and bakery! Went here with a friend and the ambiance was great. I had a cappuccino that was very good!

    Chai latte

    Stopped in for a Saturday morning breakfast to try more of the menu. The staff is all super nice and our order came out quickly for how busy they were. We were lucky enough to get a table. They have a decent amount of seating and now that's it's nice outside there is seating out there as well. The breakfast sandwich was so good and the chai is always good. The construction has cleared up for the most part so it's easier to get to. There is a nice big parking lot as well. Recommend checking this place out!

    Breakfast sandwich

    This is one of my favorite bakeries in the Minneapolis metro. I always grab a pack of their bittersweet chocolate cookies when I'm in town. The location is in a strip mall across the street from a lake that is very nice to walk around in the summer. Parking is a bit challenging during the lunch hours. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the grilled cheese for lunch. Both were very good. The bread is excellent as always. The breakfast sandwich had plenty of cheese, good quality bacon and avocado. The staff forgot to put in the egg but as soon as I mentioned it, I got my fried egg. My friend loved the grilled cheese. The strawberry tart was tangy and rich with the consistency of a key lime pie. The ambience is of a coffee shop. I saw many people working there while sipping on a cup of coffee. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. There are also seats outside if you prefer the outside. I ate the cookies on my flight home and just as good as I remembered!

    Baklava tart
    Aurah Gqunefere W.

    How I've lived near here for nigh on 4 years and never visited, I have no clue. This is an absolute gem. The pastry displays are stunning, the ambiance is cozy, the coffee is strong. I had the baklava tart and was deliciously surprised by the flavors in it, what a beautiful play on a dessert I grew up loving in a Lebanese family. They've got music playing but it's quiet, which is a dream (such a frustrating thing when I'm at a coffee shop to study but the music is so loud I can't focus). The staff were all lovely and kind and helpful. I will gladly be bringing family here when they visit from out of town. My ONLY complaint: the exterior door slams and is rather loud.

    Turkey club and a ham and swish
    Stacy A.

    I wanted to like the food because I have heard so much praise but it was just ok. I got the ham and Swiss on baguette; the sandwich was weathered because it has been in the display case all day and the baguette was so crunchy it was hard to eat. Maybe this is more of a breakfast spot than a lunch spot? I also wish the menu was a little more expansive, maybe some more salads and some other non-bread/dough heavy options.

    Went to Rustica for the first time and loved it. We got the best seat in the cafe, right next to the window and away from the crowd. The place is spacious anyways so it's not difficult to get a seat even when it's busy. We ordered the Kouign Amann, a seasonal focaccia, and some fall seasonal drinks like their salted maple latte and salted hazelnut mocha. Everything was so good. The focaccia was soft and flavorful and the drinks were the perfect sweetness level for me. It was a perfect spot to catch up with my girlies!

    Outdoor seating around the complex
    Nakita K.

    Found this little spot after my morning walk around the lakes. It was quite busy at 10am. I tried the blueberry lilac latte which had a sprinkle of sugar and what looked like dehydrated berry bits and floral elements on top. Overall though I didn't really taste anything special or different and it was just a really well made latte. Maybe a hint of blue berry but almost too subtle. Still good. But I don't think I'll buy again as it was $6+tax for a 10oz, which is pretty spendy. They do use a lamarzocco machine, which is one of the highest top quality machines for espresso. They also had a ton of nice treats which looked delicious. It was definitely a popular spot as the line backed up behind me and overheard their timing of drinks tick up for 15 minute - the fact that they even know that number tells me they have the operation down to a t. It looks like this is a chain, but this was my first time here. Overall everyone was friendly and timely. It was clean. My only wish was being able to see calorie count on the menu, which was missing.

    Milkjam Creamery sets the standard for what great ice cream should be. The flavors are inventive,…read morethe texture is consistently creamy, and everything tastes carefully crafted rather than gimmicky. My go-to flavors are Uncle Grandpa, Uma Thurman, and Pineapple Lychee. Uncle Grandpa is comforting and rich, Uma Thurman is smooth and indulgent without being heavy, and Pineapple Lychee is bright, tropical, and incredibly refreshing. Even if you're not usually a sorbet person, this one converts people. What really says it all is this: Milkjam is the one ice cream shop I make a point to visit every single month. I don't do that with any other ice cream place. The quality is that consistent. The shop has a fun, welcoming vibe, the staff is great with samples and recommendations, and the rotating menu keeps things exciting. If you love ice cream and live in (or are visiting) the Twin Cities, Milkjam is non-negotiable.

    Milkjam Creamery is a small but inviting ice cream shop right next to World Street Kitchen. From…read morethe moment we walked in, the staff was immediately very welcoming and kind. There was one group ahead of us, but that gave us time to look through the list of unique flavors they had to offer. Most of the flavors had goofy names that added an element of fun to the experience that I appreciated. With only one employee working at the time, we waited a couple of minutes before being helped, but it was very reasonably quick. Given the fact that a lot of the flavors were unique, we wanted to try a lot of them, especially because it was our first time. Each month, there are a few rotating flavors. This month featured a Valentine's chocolate lineup. I ended up trying five flavors and felt too guilty to try more. I honestly was not a fan of most of the flavors I tried. I expected to enjoy the PB vs Everybody (a peanut butter banana ice cream with oreo chunks), but the banana really threw me off. The Tru Luv (milk chocolate truffle with chocolate almond crunch, caramel chocolate fudge) also had a "weird" kind of chocolate flavor that I didn't really enjoy. In retrospect, I'm not really sure how to describe it. I ended up choosing the Lemon Drizzle Cake and Ridin' Duuurty (oreo milk with oreo chunks and salted peanut butter). The Lemon Drizzle Cake had a very pleasant textural contrast, and the lemon flavor was not too strong. It was just enough to come through without being bitter. As for the Ridin' Duuurty, I was actually very hesitant to pull the trigger on this flavor. Typically, cookies 'n cream is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, and I also tend to really like peanut butter-flavored sweets, so this seemed like it would be a no-brainer. But when I sampled it, the ice cream base tasted weird. It had "oreo milk", which I wasn't sure about, but definitely wasn't quite what I was expecting. I ended up going for this flavor just because I was pretty sure I would still enjoy the flavor of two components I typically love in my desserts. I was surprised to see I actually enjoyed it slightly more after the fact. The peanut butter comes as a little cube that I didn't really get in my sample bite, which definitely helped. As for the ice cream itself, it had a very nice consistency. The ice cream wasn't overly creamy, yet it was still very rich and smooth. Although Milkjam has a lot of unique flavors, all of them are on the sweeter side. Even the default vanilla flavors are "sweet cream" and have "sweetened condensed milks". Because of this, I don't think Milkjam would be everyone's cup of tea, but they have so many interesting flavors that are at least worth giving a shot. Scoops are on the pricier side, with single scoops starting at 6.50, jumping to 8.50 for a single split scoop, and 11.50 for a double. If I were to come back, I probably wouldn't get anything more than a single. Scoop sizes aren't very generous, and an additional two dollars for the split scoop definitely didn't feel worth it. Milkjam wouldn't be my first choice, but every once in a while, I would be happy to come back to try out their rotating flavors and give others a shot.

I attended solo but luckily really liked the group I was assigned to. We wanted everyone to work on things they enjoy and allowed everyone to try some parts of the important tasks (making pasta and pastry dough). Your enjoyment might really depend on what your group is like. You can buy wine and beer to drink while you take the class, and those were reasonably priced I thought! $9 for a glass of wine and I think $8 for beer. The class was chaotic since we were making three courses and things needed to be done at different times, but the chaos felt like how it really is in a kitchen making multi course menus, so that didn't bother me! The assistants were great and helped us stay on track and helped if we were struggling with anything.
