The staff is friendly and didn't try to rush me. Which was nice for my first time there. They have a great assortment of pastries, baked goods, and sweet treats.

I usually go to the Bloomington store since it's closer to home, but l'd say the two locations are very comparable.... Just in different cities. I stopped in specifically for my favorite treat: enchant mints (and, of course, countless samples). I was super bummed to find out they no longer have the chocolate covered cinnamon graham crackers. The original version just isn't hitting the same, and that was truly sad news bears for me. Really hoping they consider bringing those yummies back someday soon! The gal at the counter was pleasant and friendly, which always makes the experience better. As a total chocolate lover, I'll definitely be back. I really need to give myself a spending limit because I go absolutely nuts for chocolate here. The shop itself was clean, bright and makes it hard not to linger back and forth between all the different types of chocolate and other treats. Definitely encourage you to stop in and give it a whirl for yourself.

It perfectly nailed that dreamy combo of rich, dark chocolate, crunchy graham cracker goodness, and that ooey-gooey marshmallow. Seriously, it hit every single s'more craving spot on. I'm genuinely sad I only grabbed one, but honestly, it's probably for the best because when it comes to s'mores, I have ZERO self-control and would've devoured the whole batch in one sitting. I didn't even take a photo because I was too excited for this and I dove right in. Can't wait to try more treats from the local Groveland Confections! My eyes are looking at the homemade caramels. Chocolate options were absolute perfection. I noticed they are also located in Minnetonka so I may have to go check it out for myself sometime.... VERY SOON!

Lindt chocolates and truffles are REALLY GOOD. I'd say they're between Godiva and See's. I don't…read moreoften treat myself to them because they can be a bit pricey, but honestly if you come here and use their bulk deals to mix n match a bunch of flavors, it's much more affordable (then you only need to use self-restraint at home and have a chocolate or two a day). Or if you aren't picky about flavors, they do have a clearance section that's usually up to 50% off. The employees here are always kind to me when I stop in. Nine times in ten they'll offer you a sample truffle, so if I'm at MoA, I'll admit I usually swing by just to get a free one... LOL. But I also like looking at their seasonal offerings-- you know, all the fun holidays like Christmas and Halloween and Easter and such-- because Lindt does a good job of creating cute tins or boxes for the chocolates to make them extra special (fancy chocolate is already special enough but put it in a cute ornament and that's over-the-top cute!). Yesterday I saw they had an advent calendar that you could choose to fill with whichever truffles you wanted for each day's reveal! Such a clever concept! The shop isn't large but doesn't need to be. There's deep wells of all the flavors in their vibrant colored foil wrappings to browse and drool over. And the smell is amazing.

The…read moreselection of breads, pastries, and treats is amazing, with so many different flavors and textures. By the time we arrived just before noon, many of the items had already run out, so if you've got your heart set on something specific, arrive early! We chose a croissant with vanilla cream and chocolate chips, the veggie quiche, yogurt parfait, hot chocolate, and their seasonal pumpkin spice latte. Everything was so tasty! The croissant was beautiful and had a nice crispy crust but soft inside. The quiche was also delicious and was served with a small side salad. The quiche is cooked a bit less than others I've had, giving it more of a slight jiggly texture. I thought it was great! The parfait bowl was topped with seeds, fruit, and nuts, providing a really lovely texture. The yogurt was super flavorful too! Both drinks were tasty but especially my daughter's hot chocolate! So rich!! We will definitely be back soon to enjoy more of their baked goods and other delights!

Best pastries in Minnesota, hands down. Black Walnut lives up to the hype every single time…read more It does get very busy and they do sell out, so go early if you have your heart set on something specific. Even when it's packed, service is quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly, which is impressive given the crowds. They have an incredible selection with lots of rotating flavors, so there's always something new to try. Their croissants and Kouign Amann are absolute standouts. Flaky, buttery, and perfectly executed. The lattes are also delicious and pair perfectly with the pastries. They offer pre packed goodies as well, which are great for grab and go treats or bringing something home. The space itself is bright and welcoming with large windows and natural light, multiple seating options, and a small outdoor seating area when the weather is nice. If you love high quality pastries, Black Walnut is a must. Worth the wait and worth the early alarm.

It's been a long time since I've been in and the pastries are still great. We came on a Sunday…read morearound 8:30 and it was packed inside but no line to order. The space is about the same and they packed a bunch of tables inside so it is kind of stuffy but that's MN winter life. We got the raspberry passionfruit kouign amann, raspberry cardamom frangipane bostock, almond croissant, banana chocolate croissant and the bear claw. Also ordered a cappuccino, latte, cortado and black coffee to drink. Drinks came out pretty fast and were decent but nothing to write home about. The pastries were delish. The croissants were super hefty in size and very filled which was nice and definitely worth the price. My kouign amann in comparison was really small and at almost the same price I would say was a kinda overpriced. But they texture was light and crunchy and I really enjoyed the jam inside. Bostock was dense in a good way with a layer of jam and then frangipane. You could really taste the cardamom too. Bear claw was croissant that they filled with almond, raspberry and cream cheese. Flavors were also good in that.

Truthfully, I was on the hunt for a bathroom, but was more than willing to grab a sweet treat while we were there. I had already peeked at what people were enjoying out on the patio, and on such a perfect spring day, it was hard to pass up. We ended up trying a few macarons. They were beautifully displayed and there were so many flavors to choose from. We had a family dinner later that day, so they felt like a great option to bring along. We stopped in closer to 1pm so I'm guessing the selection of donuts and cakes was a bit picked over compared to the morning hours. That said, they still have a good variety and I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try one of those donuts! We had a few questions about how the macarons would hold up in a warmer car, and the employee helping us was happy to answer everything. It seemed like the owner was there as well and heading out for the day. She was very kind, especially to let us use the bathroom. One quick note, Google shows Amy's Cupcake Shoppe as permanently closed, so they may want to look into updating that. Overall, a really great stop and one I'm glad I stumbled into - those usually are the best!
