Hands down best donuts EVER!!! If you haven't been here you are missing out. Their custard filled long johns are incredible!

I had a blueberry muffin and to my surprise there was a dead fly not only on the top of it, but also a few baked into the muffin itself. AND not to mention their homophobic! read more

The best bakery in central Minnesota, hands down. I've literally been a customer for decades. They did my high school graduation cake (1980s), my wedding reception cake (1990s), law school/passed the bar exam cake (2000s), and pretty much every cake for every family function I know of (I have 6 siblings, 30+ nieces and nephews - we all use them). I now live 12 hours away, but every time I go home with my kids, they demand we stop there for breakfast. So, Cold Spring Bakery, we'll see you next week! read more

Love this place! We've been coming here when we're out at the cabin ever since I was a kid and it's still fabulous. The cookies, bread, doughnuts and cakes are all great. One thing that never ceases top amaze me is the price for all these goodies... we'll stock up and expect it to cost 60-70 bucks like it would at home and every time it costs around $25. Love it! Grab yourself a dozen Swedish Dreams, you won't regret it. read more

I have reviewed here before but I have to knock them down a couple stars after my experience today. I walked in this morning and it was crazy busy as usual on a Saturday morning. I grabbed my number and waited. I ordered up a dozen of our favorites and headed out. We were on our way to St Cloud and all had one for breakfast. We were VERY disappointed to find that all twelve donuts were crunchy on the outside like they were a day or two old. I was number 92 this morning and with the amount of people I saw in the 20 minutes I was there, I am sure the trays of donuts had been filled more than once. I have NEVER had a fresh donut from here before let alone twelve of them! I'm not sure if I will spend my money here again. I may just head over to Maple Lake or better yet Buffalo to moon! Very disappointed! Management did contact me and found that a new employee was on the fryer and the oil temp was not correct when frying. I was assured that the problem was taken care of. Because of the professionalism of management I will definitely go back and gave them their stars back! read more

Used them for my daughter's wedding. The cakes were fantastic. They had three different cakes because there were too many great flavors to choose from. We had many compliments. The service was always prompt and efficient from tasting to delivery. They charge a little more for delivery if you're not in the area, but it's well worth it! read more

Delicious! Anything you want and love can be found here. Chocoholics this is paradise. Everything is fresh and tasty. Pet owners, they even have fresh baked doggie treats. And the prices can't be beat. Sometimes there can be a waiting time, but it is so worth it. read more

Maybe the best bakery in Minnesota -- if you're into traditional favorites like Long Johns, kolache, Danish, and donuts. Love the German chocolate buns. I usually plan trips to western Minnesota so that I can drive through town and stock up. I'll buy more than I planned, but rarely regret it. Not into their bread so much -- my homemade is so much better. read more

Everyone seems to rave about this bakery and that blows my mind. They are nothing to rave about. Haven't you people ever been to a real bakery? CSB doesn't have anything special. The mousse cakes are disgusting. The regular cakes are just plain jane, I could have made it myself and it would be better. They won't make a coconut cream frosting if you special order a cake. We've tried several of their items and nothing is really outstanding. Just a big fat disappointment on all fronts. read more

The best cakes you will ever find! We ordered one of their cakes for our daughter's wedding and we couldn't have been happier! One of our guests told us he went back for seconds four times, it would have been five but it was gone by then. The wedding was down town Minneapolis, they delivered it without a hitch. Since then we've ordered cakes for graduations and baby showers. Five different flavored mini cakes for the baby shower, each one was wonderful! We live about an hour away so they deliver the cakes to their closest vendor for us and we pick them up there. Impeccable service! read more

I got my wedding cake at Cold Spring Bakery because I could not afford the crazy prices here in the cities. Drove an hour and a half to a pre-scheduled tasting appointment only to find that they didn't even have the cake I requested in stock and the cake decorator person was not even there. Had to come up a second time and buy a sheet cake that was already made just to be able to taste the spice cake that we wanted for the wedding cake. The display cakes were pretty and we were assured by the staff that they could accomplish the design that we asked for. Our wedding was Halloween themed so the cake had ghosts all over it, I printed out specifically the ghosts that I wanted on the cake, they were done by a certain artist and had a very distinct look. The ghosts that were actually on my cake looked like a 5 years old's drawing. I even had guests comment that they looked like sperms swimming all over my cake. REALLY, that happened. That is how horrible this thing was. My husband picked up the cake the night before the wedding and I had asked him to text me a picture of it before he left the bakery, he didn't because he knew that if I saw it, I would ask him to just leave it there and demand a refund, but by the time it was already in St.Paul and sitting at the reception hall, what was I supposed to do? I was a very laid back bride and didn't let this ruin my day, I never even called the bakery to yell at them or anything. But I am just warning others that if they have anything other than a traditional design planned for their wedding cake and expect a decent amount of customer service, that they better look elsewhere. I was very hopeful about this place and ended up very disappointed. I wish I would have just got a cake from Byerly's or something. Oh yeah, the taste didn't even make up for the uglyness.Very bland. read more
