We are on an adventure to go to as many boba tea places or bakeries as possible! This was on the…read moreway running errands and decided to check it out. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and they had a cute sign out front. They are located on a somewhat busy street, so this could make or break some of their business. Ambiance: Inside was huge! This would be a great place to meet with a small group as they have different areas inside to sit and converse. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it was around 1 on a Tuesday. They have a bakery, ice cream counter and boba. They had a bakery case that looked really tasty, so we decided to get 3 items to share. - Lemon macaron - perfection and had a gooey chewiness. We could eat a ton of these. - Eclair - I don't think I've ever had an eclair and now I am questioning why! It was chilled and the perfect amount of filling to outside pastry. The chocolate falls off when you bite it, so eat over a napkin to not lose any pieces. - Chocolate croissant or pastry. I think it was Nutella and it was incredible! Flakey, gooey and everything you'd want it to be. I'm sure you could warm it up and it would elevate it further. Yum! We both got a fruit tea and it was a lot. Sadly, I wouldn't get again as it was too sweet and my boba tasted like ramen noodles. (It actually made me hungry for ramen). My teen got the strawberry milk tea and even said it was sickly sweet and she needed the ice to sit. Overall, I didn't love the boba... but I would recommend the pastry! They also had some decadent looking muffins and cake slices. If in the neighborhood, stop in! I think they should make a Macaron ice cream sandwich! The woman that helped us was so sweet and patient while we took forever to decide what we wanted.

What I Ordered: *Chocolate Cheesecake - 10/10....This was absolutely DEVINE! Do not pass this up! Very rich with 3 layers but pairs great with Coffee. Hard fudge like top, Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse type middle with I believe Oreo cookie base. *Chocolate Croissant & Strawberry/Cream Cheese Croissant - 8/10...Great Flavor & tasted very fresh. *Eclair - 8/10....Typical Eclair Flavor.

I know, it sounds like I'm on the take -- but honestly, you are in for a pleasant surprise (I'm not one to complement a business just to be kind.) And if you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the mega grocery chains this is the place for you. All the basics are here, with friendly service to boot!

When you first walk in grab a tray to your right and some paper squares to pick up items. There are pastries both forward to the left as well as to the right. Also don't miss the cakes to the left of the check out counter. My favorite thing to grab is the fruit tart! I usually pick up a coffee to eat with my pastry. In terms of service I do say the staff is busy and does not interact as much as I like but the food makes up for it. The atmosphere inside does vary. As it is a busy coffee shop on weekends but week days and early morning weekends is a quiet place to have a coffee and read the paper.

I like the self serve style makes it easy to see and grab multiple options.

Only complaint is the flaky nature of the pastries leave the floor and chairs looking very crummy and even saw a cup and straw wrappers on the floor. maybe they just need a little extra sweeping throughout the day. Otherwise it'd be a 5 star experience! I highly recommend getting their rewards program too! I had a reward for a free cake slice!! Also staff was fast and Efficient during rush moments which is really appreciated!

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!

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!

I'm a huge fan of their cream cheese bread, it's so soft and fluffy with just a little whipped cream cheese in the center that gives it a counterbalance to the sweet buttery bread. I hadn't been back in a long time as we've ventured out a bit more and found there are soo many bubble tea shops in Brooklyn park and Brooklyn center but when it comes to Asian baked goods, sweet percent is always in the top three for sure! The drinks can be hit or miss, I got the mango milk tea today and it was actually mango orange in color - it felt like more of a mango yogurt drink that was watered down than actual milk tea that was mango flavored. I've had their fruit teas as well and just not really the flavor combinations I thought it would be. The shop itself is bright and adorable, and the service is always nice and friendly!
