charming, but the other one is stronger overall. That location has about four times as many serve-yourself bakery items out, plus friendlier service. The food here is great--especially the asparagus, red pepper, and goat cheese quiche. Downsides: very few outlets, so it's not ideal for working. The chai is disappointing--too honey-forward and not spiced like real chai--and I wish they offered matcha lattes like the other location. This spot is about a 3.5/5. The other location earns a 4.5/5 thanks to far more bakery options, better service, and matcha (still losing half a point for the same bad chai). read more

Can't believe I've never been here until now! This neighborhood staple is near Linden Hills and we stopped in for brunch. You can get bread, pastries, and other food items here - or eat in. They have a ton of space and an attached area for additional seating. By the time we arrived, most of the pastries were very picked over. They were all on one tray so we couldn't tell what was what. They did have a huge selection of bread loaves to take home! I LOVED their lentil sausage soup - some of the best soup I've had in a while! My brother enjoyed his scone and bread loaf. I also purchased a dessert cake to take home for my husband's birthday, which was delicious. Service wasn't the friendliest, but wouldn't stop me from coming back. read more

Such a cool spot with loads of options to choose from! We got a savory scone which was delicious and crumbly, lentil soup which was nice and warm for a cozy chilly day, and a fresh loaf of bread to eat for the week which they sliced for us at the counter. The food was all great and they had a ton more that all looked fantastic. The inside was cozy and like a classic bakery/bistro vibe which was awesome. The only challenge we had was that the pastries weren't individually marked and were just on a full menu near them so we kind of had to guess what each thing was. It definitely could be because we were there a little later in the day but did make it challenging to figure out what we wanted. Otherwise the staff was super nice and friendly and we had a great experience. read more

Such a cute, quaint food spot. The smell of fresh bread upon entering was wonderful. Restaurant was clean and well stocked with many different offerings. We purchased the turkey sandwich, tomato basil soup, cookies and of course Pellegrino to wash it all down. The staff were friendly and helpful. If ever in the area again I will revisit. read more

Very average but the best vibes. Everyone's friendly, it feels cozy and casual, and you can sample before you order.

If you are on the area grab a pie. Who doesn't love pie. Planning some thing that needs great bread, stop in and get some. Friendly staff and great food also. read more

A Solid Spot! Turtle Bread Company is a nice neighborhood bakery with tasty food and decent coffee. I selected the Broccoli Cheese Quiche which came with a side baguette; both were homemade and delicious - the mocha and chai latte was passable, nothing to write home about... The bakery options were vast and looked delectable; sadly, the service was less than ideal outside of the barista who seemed warm and friendly. The dining room was quiet with ample seating and lots of large windows. Final Thoughts: A lovely neighborhood spot with many options to choose from...

Hands down my favorite place to buy a pie for the holidays!! This place is an absolute gem, and is filled with lovely staff and good vibes all around I love their breakfast menu, and the pastries are over the moon delicious! Make this your next breakfast date! read more

Great food, but their pies are brilliant. I have been enjoying their amazing raspberry pie for nearly 30 years!

Such a fun little cafe! My first time going & I will definitely be back! Quaint with yummy bread

I was craving pancakes for breakfast this morning and these literally hit the spot! I ordered the buttermilk pancakes, eggs over hard, and an iced vanilla latte. Everything was so good! The vibe is a mix of restaurant, bakery, and coffee shop. I brought my laptop with me and worked from here for a bit. The staff were super friendly and helpful! The bakery was very clean. I've come here in the past for their tomato basil soup before and ordered a to-go container as well! So good! Highly recommend! read more

Always has great bakery items, and coffee and cakes. Several south Minneapolis locations, with nice areas to sit and have a cup of coffee with one of their pastries. read more

I came here looking for a good sourdough baguette. When I got there, I realized how hungry I was, so I got the smoked salmon omelette. The omelette was very good and came out in a timely manner. The baguette I got was reasonably priced, and it was quite good too. I ended up making croutons with it. read more

Not a bad place for getting coffee, pastries and meeting up with anyone. It is a big space inside, and it is not that always busy I think. I was there a couple times to their mocha with oat milk and some muffins. read more

Lovely neighborhood bakery. Stopped by with a friend for soup and salad and wasn't disappointed. Plenty of seating inside, but it does tend to get loud. The soup was very hearty, think chicken pot pie without the crust, and perfect for the weather. The quiche was ... not my favorite. I'm not a big fan of the cheese and the base, I felt one or the other could be more decadent. The accompanied side salad was fresh and a worthy up-charge. Definitely a great spot to hang out and chat with a friend if you live in the area, but not worth a trek if otherwise. read more

It's soup, sandwiches and salads. Food is fine. It's mostly assembled and brought out to you after you order it. At the register you are prompted for a 22, 21, or 19 percent tip. The staff isn't the most helpful, you bus your own dishes, get your own coffee, ask for more coffee when the coffee is out. It is an underwhelming experience to eat here. read more

Wow...what a disappointing experience I had yesterday. My boyfriend and I ordered breakfast burritos - mine being the one they've always had on the menu for $12.50 with veggie sausage, and his being the new one they're offering with chorizo. We told the person at the register we wanted to sub the potatoes the burritos come with with sweet potato fries and she still went ahead and charged us $8 extra ($4 each) for a side of sweet potato fries...and we didn't even get the side that usually comes with the meal. I also bought my usual coffee. It all came out to $38 which felt like a lot (we frequent this location). When I went to ask for my money back, everyone was clueless and they gave me $6 back in cash. I was never handed a receipt and really didn't appreciate the lack of transparency. Another thing that ticked me off is that there was no way of differentiating at first which burrito was meatless and which was chorizo, which matters to me because I'm Muslim and cannot eat pork. When I asked the server, they said "I don't know", left us, and never checked with anyone. I had to walk up and find out myself which one had pork and which one didn't, which was super shitty in my opinion. Way to accommodate people with different backgrounds. Shoutout to the cooks in the back who saved y'alls asses because the food was spectacular (as always). But I'd recommend hiring better new staff - these folks were rude, clueless, and killed the vibe. Won't be coming back until this is resolved by management. read more

I've been to Turtle Bread Co a few times over the past few months and I really want to like it but unfortunately the food has been a little hit or miss for me. The first time I was there I got a plain croissant and mocha. Both were pretty disappointing. The croissant was really dry and didn't have a flaky texture and they forgot to put the espresso shots in my mocha so it ended up being just a hot chocolate. The second time I had the chocolate cake which was very good and I HIGHLY recommend. The third time I had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, a side salad, and Mexican brownie. The breakfast sandwich was okay -the bun was really good but the rest was a little lackluster. The brownie was very dry, but the frosting was good. Overall the service and atmosphere is good. I'll go back again because I really want to try a loaf of their bread and a few more baked goods. read more

Turtle Bread Company - Denver Omelet, With Salad. - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Solid. Make a good latte, the apple macadamia muffins are worth the trip alone, and the vibe from the customers is positive. Feels like a real neighborhood joint. Only knock is the staff are a bit standoffish. Like, I don't need a hug, but there is not much feel you get from them other than your existence creates work for them. Been here about three times now to meet a colleague for a project, and I'm happy to come back. Though it feels like the staff are not as happy to see me. read more

Horrible service, mediocre food, if you want to be rude to customers at least have the food to back up the claim

Turtle Bread Company is very consistent and a good place to check out for baked goods, breakfast, or lunch. The bread is great and I have only been disappointed on one occasion in which my chocolate croissant was slightly over cooked. Even with my underwhelming chocolate croissant, I've been happy with the selection and quality of the pastries. On the same occasion I was disappointed by a croissant, I also ordered a smoked salmon scramble that was not only a huge portion, but flavorful and complex. They also give the option of potatoes or salad. My iced American was also flavorful and relatively inexpensive. They have a wonderful selection of food and pastries, and service is always warm and friendly. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for an easy/healthy/moderately priced breakfast joint, or you're in the mood for a freshly baked loaf of bread or pastry, I would check out Turtle Bread. read more

Good soup, great bakery, meh coffee but NO INTERNET. My cell can't even access 5G in this dead zone. Not a place to work.

Fast, easy, delicious! This was my first time trying the breakfast sandwich and I was not disappointed. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend adding chicken sausage- wow! Ordering was very easy and straightforward, and we waited less than 5 minutes for our order to be ready despite it being a busy Saturday morning. read more

Go for the pie, stay for lunch. Turtle bakery make a wonderful pie. We especially like the Apple. The crust is amazing. We pick up a whole pie for special occasions. Recently my daughter and granddaughter and I went for lunch and were very pleased with our choices. I had the Southwest salad which was one of the specials of the day. It has crispy chicken peas and tortilla strips with tasty greens. The Rueben was good and not overly stuffed with meat as you find some places. The yeasty pancake was yummy. We grabbed bread and a tasty ginger cookie on the way out. The space is comfortable and busy at lunch but not loud or overcrowded. Only down side was sweet potato fries which seemed to be frozen waffle fries. I suggest they add another station to bus dishes. A long line formed the day we were there. read more

Still eating my way through Minneapolis. We decided to have pie. I ordered pecan and my husband ordered cherry. We shared. Talk about good! I haven't eating pecan pie in 10 years due to the calories. I'm glad I gave in today and ordered it. The crust for both was flakey. The cherries weren't overly tart. The pecan slice was full of pecans. Yum! Will be back! read more

Super poor customer experience. My order was incorrectly posted as eat in when it was take out. Same person throughout the entire experience insisted that I had said eat in. No it's take out. She boxed the order for take out tossed it onto counter without looking at me or thanking me. Very expensive food very haughty customer experience. read more

I've only been to this location to buy bread. Got a baguette and a big round loaf of sourdough and they were both excellent. When you walk in, there are big displays of bread piled up and you pick what you want and pay. I really appreciate that they have the bread sitting out unwrapped. It's a major turnoff for me to go into a bakery and see all their bread sealed up in plastic bags... It always makes me think it'll be soft and soggy or stale. Not the case at Turtle Bread!!! Decent looking food menu, they have pie dough and housemade frozen pizzas for sale, lots of pastries. Street parking, but there seems to be plenty available. read more

I order the bran muffins that come in from the Chicago Ave bakery. They are terrific as are their other baked goods. Bran muffins are very hard to find elsewhere. read more

Having driven by this place for months on our way to Blue Door, we decided to give it a try on a Saturday for brunch. You are greeted by several displays of breads, cookies, muffins, and assorted pastries. Full meal counter service is available if you can successfully make it past the fresh-baked treats. They have a ton of specials (not sure how often they rotate) as well as some staple items. I opted for the 4205 breakfast sandwich on their homemade potato roll. The service was very fast and the restaurant was moderately busy, I'd say, for a Saturday at noon. The food was very good, tasted homemade and fresh, and of course their bread is tasty! Other restaurants in the 'hood (see: Blue Door & Hi-Lo) use their buns. All in all, this was a very cozy place with good food. Will be back! read more

Perfect breakfast/brunch spot. Great for dates, and studying too. I love the breakfast sandwich or the veggie omelet. They both are delicious. They have big windows for snowy days. I tend to come here when I'm not in a rush and want to enjoy my meal and the atmosphere of the place. read more

Turtle Bread Company - Awesome place ...what do I want? - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This a review of the breakfast: I definitely would steer clear. I had an veggie omelet with toast and breakfast potatoes on the side. Veggie omelet was substandard, overcooked flimsy veggies and the potatoes might as well come out of a bag in the freezer. I'm not trying to bash but just don't expect anything - you can make a better breakfast at home or heck even head to Perkins. The only redeeming factor was the jam. Atmosphere - This location was a little too hectic and nosy for me for a Saturday morning breakfast. Something about the space makes all the sounds echo and bounce. read more

Business takes me to Longfellow pretty frequently, and in turn Turtle Bread has become a convenient spot to stop in for some coffee and baked goods. The pastries are really excellent. Danishes, muffins, croissants, and scones are all delicious and fresh made. The coffee is nothing to write home about, but its not bad either and certainly not "gas station" coffee. Cooked to order breakfasts are decent, but probably a little expensive for what you get. And even if the counter staff isn't overly attentive, they're always pleasant and helpful. Atmosphere is great, with plenty of seating including some comfy booths that are great for a little more private coffee and conversation. I wouldn't call it a destination for brunch or coffee, but still a satisfying place to stop for a mid-morning break or a coffee meeting in the area. read more

Why do so many bakeries serve terrible coffee? I do not know, but I do know that I would add Turtle Bread to this list. I had an almond croissant and the ladyfriend had one of their hot-cross buns (which is why we went). We both had coffee. My croissant was very dry and encrusted with a surplus of almonds. It had the benefit of being filling, but I didn't find myself thinking anything to the effect of, "hot damn! that's a good croissant!" the way that a really good almond croissant can do. I tried a bite of the bun and I agree that the flavors were good. And did I mention the terrible coffee? First of all, it tastes like something you might get at a gas station. This sense is only augmented by the STYROFOAM cups. In their defense, you can choose to use a ceramic mug, but unfortunately this does not make the coffee taste like it didn't come from Super America. There were also only styrofoam plates for our baked goods as well as plastic cutlery, which is a shame because they have a really beautiful space that ends up feeling like something between a gas station and a dining hall. read more

Love this place! The cherry and raspberry pie slices are delicious! So are the breads including chocolate bread & striato rolls. The bug peanut butter and chocolate chunk cookie is my fav. It's not too crispy or soft, the perfect in between. I miss the salmon scramble and hope they bring it back. read more

I live VERY close to this place and I've been dying for it to open for some time. It finally has and it pretty much has lived up to my expectation. First, I love being able to take a 5 minute walk and get some of the best bread in the cities. We have been buying bread there about every other day. I love bread and so the more of it the better. With Turtle Bread so close, it's like being in heaven. The lunch is great too. My only complaint is that it is a little pricey for what it is. Nonetheless the selections are tasty and the service is improving fast for being a place that opened just a month or so ago. You can't really go wrong: Lunch, pastries, bread...they're all very good. The only real significant negative is that they are still just a bit too disorganized. I understand that they only opened recently, but we've had a bunch of 'Whoa, what is going on?' moments while there as a result of the disorganization. Once they get this all straightened out, it will definitely be a five star place. read more

I love that they are in the my neighborhood and in theory this should be my go-to place for pastries and bread. I went to TB on Sunday late afternoon. There wasn't much of a bread selection so I asked the girl at the counter what she recommended for bread as my favorite type of bread, sourdough was gone. Her response was "hmm. I don't know". "o.k. so what is your favorite type a bread?" I asked. Then she says "Well I don't know what to tell you, I don't eat bread...we're about to close so this is what is left...a lot of people buy the champagne bread". +2 good products and location -1 for the unhelpful service -1 for not clearly posting their hours -1 for not selling discounted day old bread read more
