    Weird vibe at Cafe Ceres today. I was here a year ago and it was tasty but this time was a disappointment. Far from welcoming or friendly. In fact we felt like a bother. Three of us ordered pistachio croissants and there was no offer to warm them up. When we requested it after the fact, they were barely warmed. They must have changed their coffee supplier because the lattes we had were bitter, which was not the case last time. The pistachio latte was just too much to even finish. So many coffee shops that offer so much more, including friendly service.

    Latte, Herbal tea and gluten free scone

    Excellent Coffee and pastries, including a few gluten-free items. We had a latte, herbal iced tea and a buttery jam filled gluten free scone. The patio is a fun place to sit and watch the local traffic go by.

    Have been wanting to come to a Cafe Cerés for quite awhile. I was easily able to find free 2 hour street parking and was welcomed to a bright and airy space with lots of plants! We walked past an amazing pastry counter where we grabbed a pistachio and chocolate croissant and then ordered our food and drinks at the counter. I went with the avocado toast. It's a bit pricier at $15, but the soft boiled egg, watermelon radish, and sunflower seed dukah on top of the homemade bread made it all worth it. I also tried the Ras El Hanout iced latte (date syrup + ginger + black pepper + spices) which was recommended by one of the baristas- so so good on a hot day. I also had a bite of the bacon egg and cheese and holy yum. Lots of cozy seating inside and tables outside. And free wifi to use. Great spot to meet friends for brunch/coffee as well as to sit and work on your laptop or read. Will be back!

    Ham and Cheese croissant
    Andrew P.

    Lovely good quality cafe to enjoy company and a treat. Stopped by here Saturday morning, and you can tell it's popular with the locals. There's plenty of parking along the street. And with the corner lot, you can peer over to see if there's any available outside tables. You're gonna have to come early though, they were already occupied when I arrived around 10am or so. Grabbed a ham and cheese croissant and a cup of coffee. The croissant was buttery and flakey. Perfect bake; a delightful decadent treat. Would come here for the croissants any time. Wasn't a big fan of the coffee. That took down my star. The drinks were more European in style, and wasn't something I was expecting. Would come back and try a different product.

    Amazing pastries baked on site - can watch the bakers in the back making lots of yumminess.

    Very good option! Great environment. Great staff. Brunch or lunch spot for sure. Some outdoor seating and a clean environment.

    A few salads available

    This place is amazing!! I'd walked past at night, after dinner at Colita, and made my way back for breakfast. I'm so glad I did!! I've been coming back regularly ever since. First of all - the Ras el Hanout latte is UH-mazing. It's so unique, I've never had one like this and I can't get enough. Next, the egg sandwich was outstanding. A little spendy, but oh so good. The avocado toast has great flavor, but I thought the bread was too tough. I tasted a couple pastries and they were good. The vibe inside is perfect. I wish it were a tiny bit bigger because all the seats fill up fast! Overall, one of the best coffee shops I've ever been too.

    Breakfast sandwich
    Adriana G.

    Probably the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. When I first read it off the menu it sounded pretty standard but once I took the first bite-- I was surprised. The sandwich has a really good flavor, I think they add some secret ingredient? It all tastes fresh too. The bun is so nice, soft and delicious. I will be returning for this breakfast sandwich!

    Seasonal danish 10/10. One of my favorites in the twin cities

    Lovely coffee shop with award winning pastries. I read about the pastry chef being nominated for a national award and could not wait to try this place. Since then, I've been here multiple times to all three locations. Vibe in the downtown location is chill, good music (not too loud) and filled with natural light. There's also shaded outdoor seating that is lively, and some folks bring their dog with them and sit there. Workers are chill and the drinks are made consistently. Super yummy lattes...but the pastries are the best. Only disappointment occurs if you arrive late and the c pastries are sold out.

    Ras El Hanout Latte Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

    When the other location ran out of bagels, we hustled on over to this location...and now I think we will regularly come to this one! Space is decently sized, with seating for about 25-30 people plus a lovely patio during the summer months! Parking is street-only, so practice your parallel parking! :) Service was lovely for our whole visit! I got an iced Ras El Hanout Latte, which was a lovely blend of sweet and spice. The real winner was the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, which wasn't available at their 44th Street location. Yummy sausage and a bit of parsley in the freshly cooked egg made this a one of a kind sandwich. Will absolutely return for more of my remote working days!

    Now that is Avocado toast
    David C.

    $15 Avocado toast? Totally worth it. Five stars and I think avocado toast is stupid Overall it's ok. Bakery is good not great. Coffee is good. Staff was pretty much not loving it. Nice seating area outdoors that they never seem to bus nor clean. Food and coffee is better than Starbucks but staff is happier and tables get bussed at Starbucks.

    Spiced Vanilla Latte
    Brittany H.

    Cafe Ceres is the cutest little cafe to meet up for a coffee date or brunch. They have plenty of space to sit and the lighting is just perfect. So many fresh bakery items and breakfast dishes to choose from, we found it hard to decide! I ordered a spiced vanilla latte and pear danish. Where this cafe really shines is in their pastries. The latte was very good, but the real star was the danish. So perfectly crisp on the outside, flaky and buttery on the inside with a super flavorful pear filling. I would have eaten five more of those things! Honestly this place is pastry heaven. The staff at Cafe Ceres were very friendly and were happy to answer any questions we had. Make sure to take advantage of free street parking down the road and have yourself a little coffee date at this adorable cafe!

    Recently stopped by this new Armatage Cafe Ceres location and boy was I impressed ! I loved how open this new location looked. Lots of natural light flowed through with the large windows and I loved the modern-boho accents throughout the whole cafe. This location offers a limited brunch menu which I was eager to try. I got the Strawberries & Mascarpone biscuits entree which came with 2 biscuits topped with delicious sweet strawberry compote and whipped mascarpone. It was garnished with mint. Absolutely delicious. The dulce de leche latte was also amazing. It had a smooth coffee flavor ; not too bitter. Loved the caramel syrup they used. I was so happy to see that they carry Boludo empanadas as I love their food! The empanadas we got were the Fugazetta and Puerro. Both were amazing in different ways since they both have different types of cheeses. Tastes like pizza in folded up form. Loved it. I tried a bit of the bagel and labneh that it comes with and that was also delicious! Lots of flavor throughout and the labneh was very creamy. Lastly, not pictured was 2 pastries I took home - blueberry lemon muffin and the blueberry scone. Both were divine and I loved that I could taste the fresh blueberries and the lemon flavor. This cafe overall was a great experience and I know I'll be back. You can't go wrong with any of the menu items.

    Recommended from a friend. I had the Dukkah Latte and the Turkish bagel - both were delicious! I liked the woven wooden chairs and plants.

    Food was amazing, but a little pricey. The service was great no long waits. The area was pretty tight, but still can have a group brunch.

    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!

    Living in the North Loop, Cooks Bellecour was hands-down our most visited spot--and for good…read morereason! This place is a slice of French heaven right in Minneapolis. Their pastries? Pure magic. 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!
