But they also are kind of like a little gift shop with products from small businesses like cocktail mixes, soaps, lotions, candies. They offer indoor seating but also have a couple of tables and a bench on the sidewalk to enjoy your treats as well.

CSB isn't somewhere that is pushing the boundaries of baked goods, but they're the place that has been doing it for decades and knows what they're doing. Think items such as crispies, apple fritters, raised and cake doughnuts, decorated cookies, cakes, etc. If you're passing through Cold Spring, give it a try. It's not a secret how good it is, so get there early before everything sells out!

My husband and I were walking through the mall, and spotted this candy store. I was glad we decided…read moreto stop in. :-) The employees were super nice and really helpful. There were signs up for prices, and sales. This store have all the delicious treats I enjoy. I love nuts, so we purchased peanuts, and cashew covered chocolate candy. The candy is sold by the pound, so I told my husband which candies I wanted to try. He also selected a few pieces as well. Our price was about $20. :-) The store started to get a little crowded. This is a candy store, that many kids and adults, come to purchase candy from. They also have different flavored lollipops, licorice, other chocolates and etc. We visited the candy store, over the weekend. So, since we still have lots of candy that, we will visit at a later date. :-)

We got two breakfast sandwiches; sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant & the ultimate bagel (sausage, bacon, and ham). Both were excellent. Croissant was buttery and the sandwich was delicious and not greasy. The bagel was also delicious, pillowy and light. To drink we got the BEST fruit tea in the passion fruit flavor. I've been missing these from where I live in California and this was perfect. Second drink was a coconut mocha. Also delicious. Fantastic coffee, no bitterness, and the chocolate coconut flavor was perfect. We went late in the day but they still had a great selection of donuts. We did a box of a half dozen (cream cheese filled, custard filled chocolate long John, maple old fashioned, sugar twist, and two maple bacon long Johns. And the owner was kind enough to give me a bonus fritter. Hands down best donuts in central MN. This is what a donut shop should be. The inside shop is so cute and extremely clean. There are plenty of places to sit if you'd like to enjoy your food or beverage there. 10/10 recommend if you're anywhere near Monticello or wanting a a well worth road trip. Will definitely be back soon!!!

We got the cinnamon roll (MUST get it warmed up, so gooey and yummy), the chocolate + orange cupcake (not for me but bold flavors and just a little crumbly!) and four donuts: the glaze (6/10), zebra (7.5/10), Oreo (4/10 - good consistency just WAY too sweet for me), and the cinnamon sugar (9/10). Last, we had the cinnamon swirl bread - SO GOOD! completely celiac safe facility and their flours are mostly rice based, none of the products I got had oats or oat flours.

We hit one of these a few years ago in Florida, so we wanted to hit it here. We ordered the classic 6 pack. When they came put with the cookies, I was a bit surprised as they were smaller than I remembered. It was more like my cookies baked at home, very different than my original experience. When we got to the car some where warm some were not. I got the gluten-free cookie, which I appreciated them putting it in a separate bag, though I wouldn't put that bag in with the other cookies because of cross contamination. That was the cookie I ate, and it was warm and gooey. It was good and worth the price since it is GF. The other people with me said the cookies were good. Again, only a few were warm. But they didn't think it was worth the price. But it makes sense ased on being by a college these are popular. I did it, I don't need to go back.

My daughters choose cheese cake and a sherbet. We got the kids size and it was two very generous scoops. I felt pricing was very good and fair for what they provided. There is small area with a few table and chairs. There are also a few benches outside. The girls that were working did a great job serving customers. They were super busy so no time to take out the trash. The only negative feedback I have is that the trash can should be moved to the opposite side of the door. It was the first thing I smelled when I walked in the store instead of the delicious ice cream. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be coming back to treat my family for dessert here.
