They have the classics and some interesting flavors (salted caramel). The glazed/raised was ethereal perfection and melts in your mouth. The plain cake donut was even outstanding - the maple-glazed old fashioned was a cut above. What makes this place really unique is that they will fill your bismark or long john to order - pick the shell you want (plain, glazed, sugared, etc.) and pick from many different fruit or a custard filling. I cannot recommend this place any higher - truly 5 star!

The original glazed is amazing but all of them are really good! Dare I even say these are better than Krispy Kreme?

The treats: The apple fritter was so good! And the almond croissant, light and flaky and full of almond flavor. We also had a raspberry filled donut, which reminded me so strongly of childhood and kid birthday parties - such a lovely fun nostalgic treat! The cronut, upon first bite, was one of the most delicious sweet snacks I've had in a long time - ours was underbaked with raw dough in the center, which was a bit of a bummer, but the parts that were cooked were phenomenal, and I can totally see the hype. The eclair - this I would definitely pass on. Maybe not a popular item? It tasted pretty stale, with weirdly bitter icing and stale dough. But everything else was so good, we didn't mind a few misses. Lots of families bringing kids and toddlers for sweet treats in the morning, and we'll definitely be back to try more sweet treats and probably some breads as well! Lovely bakery.

Delighted to find such a cute little sweet treat spot. @laboulangeriemarguerite of St. Paul Was full of a French bakery vibe, beautiful treats and the kindest people. I ended up chatting with a few of the staff to hear about what items they enjoy here. Sometimes getting out and talking to strangers can be a great way to change your day around and maybe theirs. I ended up getting a sticky pecan roll and a traditional Bismarck donut. Both were lovely. I definitely will need to get back to try other items this summer!

My husband and I loved how lightly sweetened both the cream and the dough were. My tween was a little indifferent and would've preferred something non-cream filled with more sugar, but that's a tween for you. It's a smaller space with some seating, but the seating doesn't have windows, so we opted to walk across and enjoy our donuts while wandering the farmers market instead -- honestly a perfect way to eat them. If you're a donut lover, put this place on your list even if you have to park and walk a bit. Worth it.

I can't give it more than four stars for reasons I'll get into but I definitely recommend trying it…read moreif you are around when they're open. It seems that they are rightly known for their sweet baked goods, hence the name, but they have some savory offerings as well. I had heard good things about their congee so I made a point to try that. It was good! Filling, plenty of meat. I also have had a unique, savory roll that was buttery and great, I forgot what it's called but it's good. And I had a Lychee Rose brioche donut. Decadent! Delicious. Loved it. I got a Vietnamese coffee one time that was great, and a matcha milk with ube foam that was also great. So, yeah, really everything I've had has been great! The opening hours are painfully limited. They are only open from 9am to 1pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And both times I came it was close to noon and they were sold out of LOTS of things. I'm convinced that if you go there because you want something specific, you simply can't trust them to have it available. Instead of planning a specific visit, the wiser approach would be to give them a look if you're in the area during one of the 12 hours they are open in a given week, and see if you're interested in what they aren't sold out of. They have an indoor counter which you get to via the main entrance on 4th street, and guessing your way through the halls until you find them past that gallery. There is also a seating section which has the ambience of a break room at a DMV. But there is also an outdoor window on Saturday & Sunday, with some seats set up in the alley; that description sounds dicey but it's perfectly fine. My hope is that they improve on some of this to make for a more predictably positive experience!

They donut holes came in glazed or cinnamon. There is a lot of parking.

I read that their puffy cream donuts were superb so I dropped in just before closing time. Well they had sold out of all their puffy cream donuts - what a bummer. I got a glazed (good), blueberry (good) and the sugar donut (ok). Saw the apple fritter and was tempted but I was bummed about missing the cream puffs. Molly or Megan helped me. They were very helpful and accommodating. I have to say a really nice small place that has solid coffee and tea and donut options. I will be back on my next trip back!

This isn't explicitly stated anywhere though so I can see how it can get you turned around like the other reviews state. Staff at the counter was super friendly and very open to suggestions though so that's a plus. We brought my niece here for a "birthday brunch" on here 21st and overall had a great time. The inside of the shop isn't anything to write home about but it's cute and great for the atmosphere we were looking for. More of a chill vibe where you can hang out and talk, think cute coffee shop meets diner type vibe. The food was good, not amazing, but still pretty decent. A little bit speedy for what you get. in my opinion but overall pretty good. I got the biscuits and gravey which maybe had a little too much greens added on top. It messed with the texture of the rest of the dish but the flavor was there and overall I enjoyed it. All in all a solid breakfast spot. A little bit spendy, but feels pretty in line with a more traditional sit down restaurant pricing these days.
