The treats: The apple fritter was so good! And the almond croissant, light and flaky and full of almond flavor. We also had a raspberry filled donut, which reminded me so strongly of childhood and kid birthday parties - such a lovely fun nostalgic treat! The cronut, upon first bite, was one of the most delicious sweet snacks I've had in a long time - ours was underbaked with raw dough in the center, which was a bit of a bummer, but the parts that were cooked were phenomenal, and I can totally see the hype. The eclair - this I would definitely pass on. Maybe not a popular item? It tasted pretty stale, with weirdly bitter icing and stale dough. But everything else was so good, we didn't mind a few misses. Lots of families bringing kids and toddlers for sweet treats in the morning, and we'll definitely be back to try more sweet treats and probably some breads as well! Lovely bakery.

I got a breakfast called…read more"Hashbrown Bake Platter" whose name undersells itself; the potato part was a delicious, savory cake with hash browns, cheese, bacon, and sausage in an ideal ratio. It also came with perfectly done scrambled eggs and toast. I got a unique latte as well; I asked the barista for her favorite and wound up with a raspberry & dark chocolate latte that had a surprising shock of bitterness. It was great. You will probably really like the ambience. It appears to have been built out of a lovely Victorian home in Dayton's Bluff, and there is plenty of upstairs seating including cute tables on the landings. There is also a very green patio. Friendly service tops it all off nicely. Their only not-open day is Tuesday, so bear that in mind. There is neighborhood street parking which you may have to hunt around a bit for. I really think you'll enjoy hanging out here!

I managed to snag the LAST cinnamon roll! I am taking the fact it was the last in to account. It wasn't the freshest - and an outside corner piece - so it was a bit dry and hard. However, it turns out the roll is just an easy way to get the frosting in your face. Omg. Delicious, buttery amazing frosting. (Which they did frost at the time of purchase). The place is small but they have an upstairs as well as a nice garden patios.

There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!

Kari's Rating 9/10…read more Stumbled upon this place around brunch time on a Saturday and as expected, most of the pastries were sold out, meaning this place is really good and a lot of people do wait when this bakery opens. As we weren't sure what our lunch plans were, so we loaded up on 5 beautiful pastries, and got a variety, including their cinnamon roll, their ham and cheese croissant, an Ispahan croissant and an iced coffee topped off with a hot London fog. They were out of the butter almond croissant, so the worker kindly came over to our table and said I could pick something else. I ended up going with the cinnamon roll as I wanted to balance my savory ham and cheese croissant with something sweet. Wow, it is good! They add this extra sugarcoat glaze on the top that makes all the pastries shine, which I thought was an extra special touch that they made an effort to make the pastries extra beautiful. Because we ordered five pastries, it came in this really cute little white and black ribboned pastry box! Knowing they only have 18 pastries-and at 11 AM realizing they were out of most of them, no wonder they got voted best pastries in the Twin Cities! Since I am somewhat of a bakery connoisseur, I always judge their pastries off their ham and cheese croissant as it is one of my absolute favorites I get every chance I get. This bakery ham and cheese croissant had a good ratio of ham and cheese to the size the pastry. It was quite large and I realized I didn't even have room for the cinnamon roll. However, I've had flakier lighter crispy croissants at my hometown bakery, and I would have liked it to be a tad lighter between layers and less bread doughy as you can see in the pictures. Nonetheless, I ate the entire thing! Proving it was still delicious. This is definitely a place you should stop by if you're ever in the area, but make sure you get here early if you want all the variety! Bonus, as we were coming out, the bakers brought out this 3ft custard dough ball caramel glue structure out for a customers wedding cake. The worker helped put it in the car and as far as we know, it made it to its destination. See pics for an incredible wedding dough ball surprise. I can only imagine how long it took to make this structure as well as how expensive it must be considering this bakery only has two locations and everything was absolutely delicious.
