Edwards Dessert Kitchen is an ideal date spot. Luscious desserts, everything from coffee to wine to drink, and comfortable seating. It's kinda of an odd spot because I'm not sure if you would come here Before or after dinner, but they do offer a few savory options (fancy toasts). They have a Happy Hour that has discounted drinks and desserts as well. Honestly there were a few things I liked and didn't like. I paid $3 for a tiny iced tea, definitely not worth it. Most of the desserts run a little more on the spendier side ($10-$15), but the portions are pretty large so they can easily be shared. The Rhubarb Crumble ice cream was absolutely delicious and I would definitely get this again. The mango Creme puff was good, not too sweet and a good sharing dessert. The ice cream cookie was so frozen though that we had to wait 15 minutes to eat it. It was definitely worth the wait though, the chocolate chip cookie it was served on couldn't have tasted better. And if you go during happy hour the ice cream cookie is only $5 and it's HUGE. I enjoyed the desserts and I would definitely be back for some ice cream. I wish the desserts were a bit smaller/cheaper, but it's definitely worth a stop in. read more

$16 dollars for a cone of ~okay~ ice cream with two scoops... Espresso martini is good, can find many other good ones at red cow, nolo's, etc. Sorry but $16? Not including the tip? Not for me. read more

I went to EDK for a date night on a Friday evening, and it was a fun experience! The space is very cute and homey. I love the exposed brick and trendy lighting. We had winter classic cocktails and the cheesecake. The winter classic cocktails were very tart, but I enjoyed having just one. The bartender was very personable and engaged with guests which I appreciated. It seemed like she had regulars, and I can definitely understand why! The cheesecake was good, but I would probably try something new next time as the base was very hard. One treat was enough to split as they are large and decadent. I enjoyed having a date night at EDK, but it seemed like it would be hard to have a larger group there since it is open seating and even the larger tables tended to be taken up by couples. Overall, I would recommend EDK as a place to mix up a happy hour date! read more

Some seriously good food here. This restaurant has a solid claim to dessert fame. We had their caramel snickerdoodle that was decadent, a pool of caramel gooey in the middle. But! My absolute favorite thing here, the Goat Cheese Toast with Tomato Jam. The cheese was ooey gooey, the jam was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, combined with the goat cheese . . I wish I'd had more bread to mop up the smears of cheese and Jam! I can't wait to go back and try one of their sandwiches because dessert kitchen or not, they've got savory down pat! read more

This place is amazing! Down from the menu to the seating area, B E A U T I F U L! Their dessert selection is pretty big and goes from ice cream to cookies to cake. You'll be sure to find at least one thing you love off the menu! I ordered a regular cheesecake and my friend ordered the yuzu green apple. We both couldn't tell if we liked it because both had a strange taste to it that was neither sweet nor savory, but just kind-of there. Not even sure how to explain it, but I guess for an $11 piece of cake, we were both hoping our taste buds would quite literally explode. It was okay, nonetheless. I parked on the street and had no trouble doing so. You can also get a whole pitcher of water so that you don't have to keep going back and forth if you're thirsty like me. The staff was a little weird as they didn't smile or look happy which is understandable, sometimes I have long days too lol. read more

We stopped in before dinner one night. I know it is backwards but we were walking by and had to stop in. Everything is beautiful. But the cookie, bar and dessert that we split were overly ambitious. The cookie was average and the bar was dry and our least favorite. The dessert had a menagerie of flavors but didn't seem well thought out.We finished it but would not order again. The worst part was the service. We were ignored for a while as staff chatted away with each other. read more

I have tried all of their desserts, or darn close to it. This place is all about visual presentation. That goes for the interior design, the desserts, and everything down to the silverware. I really like the hip, modern feel, which still manages to be somewhat cozy. It feels like you're somewhere that is fancy, yet accessible. As mentioned, the desserts are great to look at. Some use gold leaf. The taste of the desserts is generally a bit on the subtle side, and I feel that they're not as loaded with sugar. Generally, they are tasty, but the presentation and texture are the true stars. I like taking friends to this place, as they generally like it even when their dessert doesn't fully meet their expectations. As for drinks, the Old Fashioned, made with Tattersall spirits, is both incredibly tasty and strong. I can't wait to give all the desserts another try! read more

This place is such a cute spot!!! I love the chocolate chip cookie it is so addicting. The decor is totally my aesthetic. It is fun going here for a date or just chillin with friends. Since it is a specialty dessert shop it can get a little pricey but it is well worth it. The only thing I've tried and didn't like which was the matcha mousse. I love matcha but the matcha in this dessert you can barely taste. I wish it was stronger, read more

Most of the desserts I've tried here are good, but the mango cream puff is frickin phenomenal. Don't pass up on this one ! The custard inside is to die for and you can tell they use real mangos. The downside is it's pricy but it's all about the location. Worth visiting at least once! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. I had a spiritual experience eating the most delicious cookie of my LIFE at Edwards Dessert Kitchen. Before we dive in, I should note that I was slightly confused as to what Edwards was before arriving. All desserts? But also a full service bar with an impressive cocktail menu? I didn't quite understand the concept until I got there, but now I am totally into it. Located in arguably the trendiest neighborhood of Minneapolis, the North Loop, Edwards pops out with its bright, clean lines, warm toned and modern furniture, and cute fun decor. There's a small bar with maybe 15 seats or so, serving up local spirits and beer. The reason you come though is for the desserts. The menu is impressive, with everything from fancy French inspired mousses, to Minnesota classics like the scotcharoo, this place has it all. With a ton of gluten free options to boot! I got the salted butter chocolate chunk cookie, warmed up, with a scoop of vanilla bean gelato on top. It was heavenly. The cookie was the perfect amount of chewy, crispy, crunchy, and chocolatey. I honestly don't think I've ever tasted a better dessert in my life. The coffee we got was good too, as well as the curried scotcharoo. Paired with the adorable aesthetic and unique concept, Edwards is an absolute hit! read more

I have been dying for a true dessert place in Minneapolis and thank you EDK for completing my dream. Growing up in Asia/ NYC - dessert culture is big. People normally don't want to go home after dinner, so we find places to linger. For people that don't drink, dessert is a good option. (And obviously, probably not the best idea to go get coffee either). The ambience was nice and chill - I love the high ceiling. The long table in the middle of the room can definitely accommodate a large group, otherwise, all the tables are spaciously spaced out that you wouldn't feel cramp or eavesdropping other people's conversations. The desserts were amazing. My friend ordered the "Fall Tasting" and she liked everything on the plate. I ordered the "panna cotta" and it was as good as expected. Panna cotta is my go-to dessert, I order it whenever I see it on the menu, there aren't many places in the cities that can ace a panna cotta and EDK made it. I'm very excited about this place and cannot wait to keep trying more desserts read more

Okay, I'm a dessert snob. I love to bake and have a discerning bakery palate. Before reading my review, you have to know this about me. :) I really wanted to like Edward's Dessert Kitchen. It has easy parking, is open late, serves specialty desserts...but my experience there was not memorable. We ordered the Mini Pineapple Upside Down Tart, the Mini Key Lime Cheesecake, the Mini Mango Coconut Creme Pie Puff, and a Salted Butter Chocolate Chunk cookie. These 4 items came to just over $48 (with the lowest option tip). The Pineapple Upside Down Tart's cream had a surprising but not really pleasant flavor. It tasted almost like chai, but I'm guessing was cardamom. The flavor combination just didn't work for us. The Mango Coconut Creme Pie Puff's best feature was the fresh mango. The pastry itself was lackluster--tasted too bready and bland. It did not have any personality and could not stand alone. It was a dry offset to the cream of coconut inside the puff. The Key Lime Cheesecake was passable but not memorable. I bought the cookie for my 13 year old son who wouldn't even finish it. He took a bite, handed it back, and said, "What do you think?" One last thing to throw on the table...there is a water stand where guests may fill glasses of water from pre-filled bottles. The water was tepid. I left $48 poorer and unhappy with my experience. read more

I'm between giving this place a 3 or a 4. I didn't try their coffee (which looked amazing) so I can't vouch for that. My friend and I went here to celebrate our birthday and found out the desserts were A LOT bigger than we expected. You can see everything in the case but when we asked about the desserts the staff directed us towards the more unique tasting ones. My friend got a mango dessert and I got a Ferrero Rocher dessert that had chocolate mousse. The chocolate one was our favorite! I think this is a great place to come in and get some to go desserts for friends or to stake out a spot in the sunshine and snack on a dessert and coffee. It's seat yourself and has some food but I'd suggest grabbing food at one of the many restaurants around Edward's and to come here for a very large dessert. read more

Situated in a loft in Northeast, the dessert kitchen has a modern hipster feel with exposed brick, chandeliers, and a cute picture perfect backdrop for those IG worthy pics.

Edwards is such a cute place. There are tall ceilings, comfortable seating, and a beautiful aesthetic that fits in with downtown MPLS overall. I am giving it a 4/5 because I wasn't WOW-ed by every dessert. There are some that I expected more from. I would come here again if I was in the area, but it's not a place that I would go out of my way to revisit. Definitely worth at least visit based on the concept alone. read more

This is a pretty delayed review of this amazing dessert place. My bestie, cousin, and I were in Minnesota for the weekend to visit some family. We stayed in downtown Minnesota and it's pretty close to our hotel so we walked there after dinner one night. We ordered a couple of things from the menu. Two scoops of gelato (vanilla and chocolate with bits). Strawberry creme cake thing and the ferra roche mousse dessert. They were all so delicious. Gelato- both creamy but not too rich where it seems too heavy. Not that sweet either so that was nice. I definitely liked the vanilla one a lot more than the chocolate one. Strawberry creme- super light~ you would think it's overwhelmingly sweet but it's just the right amount of sweetness. The bottom cake portion I was expecting it to be more fluffy but instead it's actually a hard cookie type of bottom. Still delicious and my FAVORITE!!! Ferra rocher- that was good. A little too sweet for me and too much for me but it was good. The vibe is def more chill and relax hipster type of place. Definitely good for a Saturday night! read more

Came with my best friend on a Friday night, we ordered vanilla bean and cookies and cream ice cream. We ordered strawberry and Creme and Rocher Mousse as well. Yes, we ordered 4 items to share between us two girls. We have big sweet tooth's. Lol Vanilla bean was most def our favorite, not too sweet and just right for our taste. It paired very well with the strawberry and creme because the biscuit part wasn't too sweet and it was kinda stiff textured. The biscuit was hard to break with a spoon or fork and left with crumbs everywhere. Rocher mousse was a little more on the richer side but still good! Cookies and cream ice cream a little on the sweeter side... probably would pass on the cookies and cream ice cream. The ambiance of the place is really cute! They also have a bar on the side too if you're in it for a drink AND dessert but my bff and I was only in it for the sweets! Most def recommend to try! Good place to sit in small groups, enjoy dessert and/or drinks and chop it up! read more

If anyone has watched Final Table on Netflix, Edwards Dessert Kitchen will make you feel like you're one of the judges tasting and critiquing a top dessert chef! (I would be Dax from the America episode :P). We've heard so many great things about this place and finally had a chance to venture out to Minneapolis for a mini date night! We were a bit lost and over eager to try EVERYTHING but after some recommendations from some of the staff, we ended up ordering the Citrus Study, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, and their Nitro Brew. Citrus Study: Earl Grey Pot de Creme, Salted Coconut Nori Sorbet w/ Lime Leaf, Citrus Salad, Tres Leches w/ Pomelo My husband and I love the citrus-y flavors so it's like this plate was made for us! I'm not sure if this was the intent, but as we went down the line of each dish, I felt like we were going through all the seasons.There was a great mix of sweet and sour flavors, but at the same time, the sour flavors were more soothing with the creamy pairings which allowed it to be very enjoyable. We're not much of a sweet tooth, so I would recommend sharing this one. Dulce de Leche Cheesecake: Nutmeg Cheesecake Mousse, Dulce de Leche Chantilly If you're looking for variety, Cheesecake factory is the way to go. But if you're looking for something light, fluffy, and decadent, Edwards Dessert Kitchen is the way to go! This wasn't overly sweet which allowed you to really taste the variety of flavors. Also something I would recommend sharing as it is pretty rich. Nitro Brew: Toffee, Chocolate, Mild Citrus Looking at the menu, don't mistake that you can pick one of the flavors flavor. ALL three flavors are mixed together in this unique brew. Being almost 6 months pregnant, I did not partake in trying this masterpiece, but my husband, being a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado, really enjoyed this. In his words, "you can immediately taste the citrus, and then as it mellows on the tongue, you can slowly taste the toffee and chocolate." Overall, he gave this a thumbs up, but be aware, it's a bit strong so he was off the walls for a couple hours after ;) The only con to this place is with tax and tip, I ended up paying just over $40....a bit steep in my opinion, but DEFINITELY worth it every once in a while to treat yo'self read more

Great addition to North Loop! I really appreciate them labeling items as gluten free and/or vegan. The atmosphere is very relaxing and instagram-y. There are bar stools, comfy chairs, regular tables. All of the employees were extremely friendly and helpful! The oat milk latte was delicious and really, really smooth. I would highly recommend an espresso drink! The passion fruit chocolate mousse was...interesting. I enjoyed it but there was a little too much texture for me - the mousse itself was amazing but the jelled fruit bits along with the nuts and cocoa nibs was a little overwhelming. I wish their pudding/mousse was served in a glass container instead of plastic so it could be taken home and reused. Also the prices are slightly outrageous - the oat milk latte and small mousse was over $17. So it's definitely a fun place to stop for a treat but unfortunately not somewhere I'd frequent. read more

The concept of this place is something I'm really into. A dessert bar where you can order fancy pastries, baked goods and even drinks. It's open late so you can get your fix after dinner or even after the bar. The atmosphere is a little upscale and you feel like a highroller from the furniture, decor and elegant dessert options. We went with a couple dessert drinks, chocolate chip cookie, snickerdoodle, chocolate milk ice cream, and peanut butter and jelly ice cream bar. By far the ice cream bar was our favorite! Rich peanut butter ice cream surrounded frozen jelly filling, which was not icy, all covered in a chocolate peanut butter hard shell. The cookies were very sweet and buttery but I wish there was more chocolate chips. The ice cream was where this place fell short. It honestly kind of tasted like they took cheap ice cream and put it in their big tins for scooping. I'll for sure have to try the fancy desserts another time but for my first experience, I was pleased read more

Desserts were mediocre. The place is really small and typically very busy so no seating. The bar had seating but we weren't allowed to sit there unless we ordered drinks despite just ordering coffee and desserts. Kinda frustrating read more

I first visited Edward's last week at a UYE, and I have to say, I really enjoyed myself. Since it is located in the North Loop of Downtown Minneapolis, parking is not the best, but there are a couple of parking lots nearby, and if you're lucky, you can get a spot in front. When entering the place, it's a nicely-sized area, not too big, nor too small. There are a few tables sorted throughout the restaurant, as well as a booth or two, and some spots with two chairs and a table between, in case you want to meet a friend (or date?) for coffee and a chat. There is also a bar area off to the side, which is an interesting addition. Yes, they sell dranks! More on that below. :) Their dessert selection ranges from gourmet popcorn to cookies, ice creams, sorbets, cheesecake, savory offerings, and various and sundry other delicious items. Our UYE group met in the middle at a table, which seats larger parties. We ordered cookies, and others ordered items to share and individual desserts. I tried the two varieties of cookies that were available, the salted butter chocolate chunk cookie and the caramel and Chinese 5 spice snickerdoodle. The latter cookie was my favorite. My partner arrived a little later, and he and I ordered an Americano, a cheesecake tart, which consisted of passion fruit, caramel, and dark chocolate ganache, and he ordered an old fashioned (Bulleit Bourbon, Tattersall Apple Brandy, vanilla, with a cherry on top). That drank was SKRONG. Not "strong," but S-K-R-O-N-G. I mean, it was potent! Yes, I drove home, so no worries. LOL As you will see in my pictures, there were other delectables on the table, such as the mango coconut crème pie puff, the ice cream pie, made up of Riesling pear sorbet, ginger coconut sorbet, and sesame crumble, and the Rocher mousse (Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Sable, Hazelnut Praline Crunch). The Americano was an eye opener, tasted great, and also a great complement to dessert. Needed neither cream nor sugar added to it. Overall, I would return again, especially to try the Sleepy V's doughnuts and Nutella ice cream. Yes, even in the winter, I would try that one. Very nice, cozy place to go after dinner, for coffee and dessert, just a chill place, in general. They also offer a weekend brunch, so that's yet another reason to return. Really like EDK! :) read more

THIS MAY BE MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE IN THE TWIN CITIES. Liek oh my god i need to come back and try every dessert. I am gluten free so was extremely worried that I would only have 1 or 2 options. WRONG! There were so many options. Probably around half of the options were gluten free. We tried 3 desserts when we came. the Strawberry sundae, the chocolate chip cookie, and the clementine dessert. I could only eat the strawberry sundae and cookie, but my friend said she also LOVED her clementine dessert! The sundae was so good. It comes with 3 scoops of ice cream and strawberrys and some pistachio cookies which were so good. Then the chocolate chip cookie came right out of the oven and melted in my mouth. I tried the orange wine as well which was good. I can't wait to come back. They do not take reservations so it is first come first serve. I recommend sitting at the bar because they do full service where otherwise you need to go up to the counter. It is in north loop so street parking is the main option. read more

Loved the aesthetics and the dessert options. Can't wait to come back and see what new things they had in store! My only regret is that I didn't have a big enough stomach for more than the two desserts I tried. I had the Caramel and Chinese 5 Spice cookie - just perfectly baked - and the Yuzu and Green Apple cake, which was a little too sweet for me but I love the citrus touch. Would recommend to all my friends! Plus, it was cool to see the decor and the range of ages hanging here, even at 11:30pm. What a cool idea! read more

We went to Edwards Dessert Kitchen for dessert after Mother's Day brunch. It was good! As a former pastry chef, I expected a little more, but the interior is so cute, and the location is perfect for a place like this. I had the Key Lime Cheesecake which was sweeter than expected. There was a surprise ball of Lime curb hiding under the meringue topping, which I wish I had more of! Or at least throughout the dessert because I was missing that lime flavor until halfway through the dessert when the sugar level was getting to be too high at that point. Still delicious, but hoping for more. My mom had the pineapple upside down tart, which was similar in review. A little on the sweet side. It had white chocolate coating around the outside which ended up being a little over the top, but a nice crunch. My stepdad had the Rocher Mousse, which was good. Velvety like you would want from a Mousse and a really nice crunch exterior. Probably the favorite overall. We also had the salted vanilla latte, the raise and chai, and the guava Bellini. All good drinks! In my opinion, drinks were better than dessert. I had the raise and chai, which was a chai drink with milk and tequila. I expected it to be a bit boozier than it was, given it be tequila, but it was very smooth!! Very good drink that they should keep and sell for a long time. Overall, the place was a little sugar high and I'd like to see a better balance between sweet, tart, savory, spicy in the future, but I will definitely be back. read more

The crumble had hardly any lime flavor a bit of an off-putting texture, and the cake was also lackluster but I forget why. Both sat in our fridge for days, unlike most sweets. Only reason I'm giving 3* is because, I would like to return and try the food as well as a chocolate based dessert at some point as their menu items are quite appealing. read more
