I only had a few days and Kristi the owner was able to accommodate this without an issue. Online payment with Venmo was a snap and pickup without direct contact went smooth. The cake I purchased was the Oreo quarantine cake and had 6 pieces of cake that were generous size as this is a multiple layer cake. The actual cake was super moist and the cookies and cream frosting goes without saying amazing!! Can't wait to try other items from Kristi.

I recommend trying the Coconut Rocher for a unique blend of flavors! It's incredible. Their croissants are flakey and light weight and the various sandwiches and quiche options make this a great spot to grab a light bite for breakfast or lunch! The bakery is cute and cozy with big windows looking out to the Main Street of excelsior and a few different tables inside. The staff is always kind and quick even during busy periods. Make sure to check them out!

You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to your table. Customer service is average. This time we got the steak salad, a side of homemade chips, and a pastry. The salad was amazing and we loved the chips. My only disappointment is that they don't serve lates or cold brew coffee. For having a brunch cafe vibe you'd think they'd want to do this. Thankfully there is a caribou in the same lot.

Stopped by Honey & Rye and grabbed the monkey bread and a chocolate pinwheel. The monkey bread was…read morefantastic, super soft and flavorful. The chocolate pinwheel was just okay and a little on the dry side. Parking is a bit limited and there's no seating, so this is more of a grab-and-go spot. It does get busy, but the line moves quickly which is nice. Staff was friendly and efficient. They have a large assortment of coffee and other hot drinks, but the real highlight here is definitely the baked goods. They also offer breakfast items that can be heated, which is great if you want something more filling. The shop itself is really cute with a cozy, charming feel. They also have a small selection of items for sale, which adds a nice touch while you're waiting in line.

Ok brewed and coffee cake, which looks like a bread. Have to try more items when in SLP. Coffee had an amazingly nutty, naughty roasted toasted taste with the ever important after taste. How did I miss this place across from Trader Joe's in the past? Was on the other side of town and checked trusty Yelp for "Coffee Shops Near Me". Gotta go. Getting out of the parking lot was a task. One side is no left turn onto Excelsior Blvd. Try to turn back the other way with cars entering on two sides..yes two sides to enter, only one to exit. Made it, now sipping and driving 8 miles to my next location. Coffee feels good on a bone numbing day.

It is order & pick up at the counter. Rather crowded around the service area as people waited for their drinks and the line to the rest room was in that same location. We were intrigued by beautiful room and bar area that are also available for seating and for cocktails, classes as well as private events. We will be back!

First, I love the pastries you can buy to-go. This review though is for their cooking class. Be…read moreaware that you will be seated with a group of 6 and you'll have to work with them to decide who does what tasks, since not everyone will get to try making everything. 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. I can't say I learned much from the class (which is why I only gave 4 stars), but I sure had a lot of fun!

The chocolate almond croissant is next level--flaky, buttery, and packed with rich, decadent flavor. And don't even get me started on the breakfast sandwiches--they're gourmet-level masterpieces. Every bite is perfection. The vibe & service here is warm and inviting, with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries filling the air. Whether you're grabbing a coffee, treating yourself to a pastry, or diving into one of their soups or salads, this place nails it every time. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Cooks Bellecour is an absolute gem!
