We stopped here on Father's Day as part of a donut tour my kiddo put together, and I'm so glad this…read morewas our first stop -- holy moly, these are some of the best brioche donuts I've had. 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.

The brioche itself was nice and had a good texture…read more My main issue was with the creams. They didn't really taste like what I expected, and I was especially disappointed by the lack of yuzu flavor and tang. I was hoping for something brighter and more pronounced.

This was my first experience with mochi donuts. I was out…read morewith coworkers when one of them noticed this donut shop. We walked over, and we each ordered something. I got 3 donuts while my coworkers got the bubble teas. The texture was more chewy than a traditional pastry. But so very flavorful. I like that you can peel off a ball and eat it in more smaller bites. I will different get them again.

Of I can give 0 stars i would plus a negative 10!!!! Service is slow and dirty tables around us!…read moreFirst time here and last time here! I ordered 2 special pho, a broken rice dish and some korean dogs, there's 6 of us 2 adults ale 4 kids. They charged me with 3%for using debit/ credit so I said fine, my total became$111 and some change. After we were seated i decided to order 2 more dishes for dinner in which the waiter confirmed. After my and my husband got done eating our pho the 2 extra dishes didn't even come. The waiter asked if that's all we're waiting for i said it's and another 15 or so minutes is still not there. So o finally saw the waiter and told her to make it a to go she said that's fine. They never brought it to us so we finally left and when we did i went to tell the guy waiter at front desk to not charge me as I no longer want it anymore, he said they have it. So I waited and went to go pay for those and then I get charged 20 tip because we drive on a table of 5 to 6 gets charged 18%, week we didn't actually dive because those dishes never came and my kids just ate the corn dogs waiting for food that never came!!!! She said we still dined in and so they'll have to charge me. OK fk you then bitch I'll pay for it and I'll never come back and fk you!!!!!

I ordered Crème Brûlée soufflé pancakes, they were delish!…read more First time trying soufflé pancakes, they were just as amazing as they look! Fluffy, bouncy, eggy, delicious. The pancakes themselves aren't very sweet which really balances the sweet toppings on the Crème Brûlée. When I visited, there was no line at 5pm on a Saturday so service was quick and staff let me know the pancakes would take ~15 min which was accurate. The space itself is pretty small so seating options are limited and a bit cramped. The price on the pancakes was a bit steep at 15.99 but would totally get these again because it's such a unique experience!

My friend and I saw this restaurant on TikTok and wanted to check it out. I was a bit underwhelmed…read more I thought my chicken basil pesto crepe was good, but the chicken strips did seem like they were frozen ones from the store and just heated up. In my opinion, strawberry cream soufflé pancake was alright. It wasn't the best soufflé pancake I had, but it was very average. Also, the ube latte tasted a bit artificial. The restaurant had some quirky decorations and aesthetic. I did appreciate how it felt like a "hole in a wall" type of place and our service was quick and fast. I don't know if I'll be back, but I'm glad I did check it out. It's so cool to see places like this pop up in the Twin Cities!

Information overload...are you ready?…read more Before our IVF transfer, which was a HUGE moment for us, at CCRM just across the way, we stopped into Rustica Bakery. We only had a few minutes to spare and thought, why not, let's treat ourselves. Best decision. The banana bread was hands down the best I've EVER had. I'm not exaggerating when I say I now feel like I need this in my life at least once a week....which is slightly dangerous. The space itself was busy, but there was still plenty of seating, and so many pastries and drinks to choose from. We had someone meeting us who was a little worried about parking, but there's a separate entrance (away from the mall) and plenty of spots, which makes it super easy. I'll be honest, the service didn't wow me, but the quality of the food more than made up for it, so it's still a five star experience in my book. Just something to know going in. Such a simple stop, and one we won't forget. It was the perfect moment before a really big one for us.

I finally came in on a weekend morning to meet up with a friend. I enjoyed my coffee and the…read moredifferent options for treats. There is a decent amount of seating for a place in its location which was nice so I could visit for a couple hours with my friend. I am still surprised I never went here when I was living in St. Paul for so many years. The somewhat annoying thing is that there used to be a free parking lot, and now they charge for it.

This place is absolutely amazing. I genuinely think this was one of the best places I found while…read moreliving in the cities. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. The paninis are tasty. The bakery section is so delicious that there should be an addiction warning taped to the pastry display case. They've got all different sorts of coffee orders too, so if you need your morning fix, you're set. The place is always crowded, which is a sign that it's a well-loved hangout and eatery of the community. However, it does mean that you could be standing for a little while until a table opens up. Space always does open though, it's just that sometimes patience is required. However, it's always worth it to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food. Free parking can also be hard to find as most street side parking is full all hours of the day. Be prepared to walk a little ways or to pay the small fee to park behind the building. This is the heart of the Twin Cities though, so this should not be surprising. If I could give this place fifty stars instead of five, I would. The only reason I had to stop eating here was developing celiac disease. For those of you with free will and without gluten troubles, definitely make your way here. I cannot say enough good things about this gem.

I've been to Big Island Poke SO many times throughout college since it's right by Macalester, and…read moreit's definitely one of those spots I keep coming back to! The location is super convenient right off Grand Ave and close to tons of other shops, and the interior is cute with plenty of seating. Service is also really fast, which is always a plus when you're hungry. I absolutely love their poke bowls and the build-your-own options, but this time I switched it up and tried their hot plates, the Chicken Katsu and Salmon Teriyaki. Both were really good, especially if raw fish isn't your thing! The katsu was crispy and flavorful, while the salmon was tender and coated in a delicious teriyaki glaze. And of course, the mac and cheese was divine. Super creamy, cheesy, and the perfect side to the hot plates. The portions are also generous, so you definitely get your money's worth and leave feeling FULL.

I don't know what it is about Vietnamese coffee, but I feel like it tastes like I always wanted…read morecoffee to taste, like when I was a kid first noticing the smell of coffee and eventually learning it usually doesn't taste as good as it smells... sorry, long winded intro but I LOVED my salted caramel Vietnamesed iced coffee here. I came back the next day and got a banh mi that was HUGE and delicious. The "House" is about ten bucks and that is a great deal for such a large, stuffed sandwich. They cut it in half and you can absolutely consider splitting it with someone or making two meals of it. Tons of Asian flavors on fresh-baked baguette bread. Absolutely outstanding. I brought home some treats from the pastry display, including an above average vanilla eclair and some macarons, one of which is super big! It's like hamburger sized, look at my picture. All of it really good. The service is very pleasant and upbeat, and it's a cute, homey space. I love this bakery!

Service: wonderful. I met the owner and she is SO SWEET…read more Ambiance: spacious and lots of seating Food: okay to pretty good There are so many desserts and pastries here! There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!
