It's tucked away in a strip mall, blink and you'll miss the entrance. Make sure you get there early as they do sell out. During my last visit I ordered on a Friday morning around 7am. I hand selected two dozen donuts and the employee working was friendly and helpful. I was a little shocked to see that my total was $45 but it is what it is. The glaze donuts are a staple and the filled jelly was also a winner. I wish I was able to try a bunch of them but how many donuts can one person eat?! I would love to see a couple options of donut holes but it's possible I missed them during my visit. I'll continue to stop in for special occasions for the team.

The restaurant is super tasty and they have the bakery items available for order too. Most of the donors from Red Cross would come here after donating platelets and always raved about it too.

Edelweiss is easily my favorite spot in the area…read more There's almost always a line on weekends, but it's totally worth it and moves fast so you're not waiting long. Everything looks so good it's hard not to over order. They have a really great mix of sweet and savory options. Pastries, donuts, cakes, sandwiches, and more. The quiche is one of my go-to items and the breakfast pastries are always so good. They also have homemade granola that is to die for. Coffee and matcha are consistently great also. I love their seasonal fresh orange juice but it is a little pricey. The space itself is super cute and nicely decorated with plenty of seating, so it's a great place to sit and actually enjoy your food. I also love that they're open in the evening for wine and small plates. Makes it such a fun and unique spot for the area. Such a great local spot that does it all really well. Definitely recommend.

She was trying to be very helpful in my selection. It was a large slice cut into a thick triangle with a single thin red swirl through it. I have no idea what that was, and I tasted no cinnamon, just cardamom, another spice I love, but it was dry and lacked enough flavor to be satisfying, so I wouldn't order it again. I should have had a custard-filled Bismarck instead!

I decided to pay a visit on a cold rainy day, it was the perfect day to do so. I had major sweet bread cravings and they were fulfilled. I grabbed a tray, selected conchas and salty bread. When I went to pay I noticed they also had Atole (a Mexican hot drink). I asked for a strawberry flavored Atole and OMG! It was perfect and hot. They sell a small selection of grocery products for your convenience and Mexican food as well, deli style. The tamales looked good, they were selling fast when I was there. This bakery is very clean and the bread is baked daily. The conchas are REALLY good here. I also purchased a bread that inside had cheese and jalapeños, this is one of my favorites and they NAILED IT. I got two of those and it's easy to prep breakfast, I stuff it with scrambled eggs and done-- got myself a breakfast sandwich! Prices are also very reasonable. Glad this area has a bakery like this! It has all you wished a bakery offered: tamales, atole, cakes, delicious pan dulce and great customer service!

I spotted it today and did a U-turn to check it out after noticing quite a few cars in their lot! Even before 9AM, I could tell they had sold a ton of their inventory! I am a donut "purist" - so I figured I would try their glazed donut! AMAZING! I have been to most of the donut shops that get strong reviews in the Twin Cities, and Denny's belongs on the lists! When I have more time (and a more concrete dinner plan), I want to come back to pickup dinner buns/rolls + cookies! Everything looked great! I'll certainly be back!

The Sarah cake with it's pistachios, eclairs that aren't soggy, strawberry Napoleans, etc... The hardest part is choosing. I want to buy 20 but settle for 2.

Megan, she made the inspired recipe & maybe it has that touch of love that makes all the ingredients a well balanced hum! When I popped into Patrick's Deli in Edina today and ordered their Roseberry Shakerato -- it was waiting for me (& you?) ... something special I didn't know I needed but it stood out. How can I not order a decaf Roseberry Shakerato? Made with decaf espresso, this beautiful shaken drink arrived in a tall glass with perfect layers and a luxurious foam (the photo really doesn't lie!). The star is that dreamy swirl of pink rose-and-raspberry whipped topping on top. It's creamy, fragrant, and -- most importantly -- genuinely not too sweet. The rose and berry accents are elegant and balanced, finished with rose petals and a touch of pink crumble petals for texture. Every sip felt like a little celebration: floral, jazzy, uplifting, and just plain joyful. This is sophisticated, refreshing, and fun all at once. Whether you're doing decaf like me or going full caffeine, Patrick's Deli has created something special here. I'll absolutely be back. If you're anywhere nearby, treat yourself. This drink is main-character felicity in a glass.

The pastries here are really good! You have to try a little bit of everything, it's hard to not go crazy here and grab everything. The taro flavored pastries are my favorite. Just grab a tray on your way in and pick up whatever pastries look tasty to you with the tongs provided. You also have to try out their drinks here. They are really good! I would recommend the matcha. They are usually really busy so they aren't too friendly but they keep things moving. They do take the time to wrap up your pastries for you. I usually just grab my stuff to go since seating is limited when it's busy. It's a great spot to stop in for a sweet treat or quick snack throughout the day.

The selection is large, and they are contantly replenishing the shelves with fresh-baked goods. A lot of those are on the pricey side, which might contribute to a bougie reputation for this chain. But the items on the drink menu are much more reasonable. I had a matcha lemonade that was just okay; I don't think I'd order it again because you can't really mix it the way they serve it to you. But they have a whole bunch of interesting coffee and tea options. I also had a hot item that was pretty good. They have a heater that looks like something from a convenience store, and there are hot offerings in there like the flatbread-esque thing I had. It did actually taste quite good, but I think if they are serious about hot items they could manage a better presentation. There are compelling selections in that little box. The pastries I bought were absolutely delicious. Again kind of pricey, but the quality is immediately noticeable and I will 100% be back for some of those things. And I'll probably try some coffees & teas in the future.

Marc Heu's is phenomenal. I have had the pastries at varying coffee shops since they outsource…read moreproducts to, for example, Dogwood coffee. Contrary, coming into the intimate home shop in Saint Paul hit different. As a Saint Paul girly, I absolutely adore small businesses. Marc Heu has a great location across from the co-op on Dale. Due to the pastry lineup altering so frequently, there are no signs detailing the pastry product so there is definitely interaction with staff members to ensure you are getting what you want. The staff is attentive, dressed in uniform and ready to take orders with a note pad upon arrival. Fortunately both days I have went, there were no lines but I also understand lines are common here which is something to be aware of. Inside there are small circular tables to enjoy your pastry and or coffee in. I would not recommend bringing a laptop as this is a tiny shop with an emphasis on eating, mingling and departing. Other reviews will dink stars because they will say the pricing is high however, I think, the pricing is reasonable giving the high quality of baking effort and the quality of service provided. In addition, this is not a spot to come 24/7, rather, special moments such as a birthday, holiday or celebration. With that, I feel like the price is justified. Line or not - the pasty variety is outstanding! My husband and I had a donut with a spiced icing and some other filling and every bite we kept saying yum or oh my gosh this is so good. Inspired from France, you will 100% feel transported as the shop itself resembles France from the interior and obviously the baking follows suit. The display case is the center of attention when you walk in. I highly recommend stopping when in Saint Paul or purchasing at a coffee shop should you happen to see the line of Marc Heu. There are a few other stores in the area, otherwise, Grand Avenue is right up the road should you want to make a day of supporting local. Saint Paul is so lucky to have a slice of France in our city. Thank you!
