The space is really bright, clean, and open with an easily navigated layout. The staff was friendly and they were having fun while joking and listening to the radio. They've got coffee and some basic lattes but mainly selling baked goods. I tried a few things and all were fantastic. The vanilla concha was insanely soft and had a nice subtle flavor without the baking soda bitterness you sometimes get. The coconut bun was my personal favorite. Same dough but with a sugar paste and coconut flake topping. One of my litmus tests is pan de feria and theirs didn't disappoint. Crazy soft with a nice, subtle sweetness. It's a hike from my house but you know I'll be back if I'm in the area. Definitely recommend if you're looking for sandwich rolls or any sweet pastries.

I was really hoping to like Don Pancho's Bakery, but the bread just was not very good. The service…read morewas okay, and it is honestly hard to find really good panaderías in Minnesota, so I had high hopes going in. I got a concha and was pretty disappointed. The flavor was very bland and the bread itself was somewhat hard, which made it seem like it had probably been sitting out for a while. The pricing also felt a bit high for what I got. Unfortunately, I do not think I would come back again.

I'm knocking it down some because for a o.k. breakfast it was pretty expensive. Our 2 coffees, an omelet, and a pannekoeken with a 3 slice side of bacon was $55 after tax and pre-tip. We just didn't feel the value was there for something we could easily make at home. Also the requirement of the servers carrying a pannekoeken out to a table to say pannekoeken every 2 seconds was highly annoying.

We got Drift Dough donuts by way of Old Abe's Coffee, and they were great! The raised donuts are…read moreunfortunately not vegan (I have an egg allergy, so I'm always on the lookout for vegan baked goods), but the cake donuts are, and they had a fun lineup of flavors when my husband and I visited. One thing to note is that the address for Drift Dough isn't the address for Old Abe's Coffee, and I am not sure if that's an address for the bakery or something, but all signs pointed towards the donut shop being inside Old Abe's, so that's where we went. I got the ube donut (the purple one), and as someone originally from Hawaii, it was really great to see ube flavor is making it out to the Midwest now! The flavor is not super strong in the donut, so if you haven't had ube before, I think this would be a nice, mild introduction. My husband got the raised Tiramisu donut, and while he liked it, it's definitely bigger than the cake donuts and was a bit too much donut and frosting for him, but your mileage may vary (I like to think my stomach has a special compartment just for donuts, because it always seems that way, LOL). We got a nice cold brew with oat milk to wash the donuts down, and we will definitely be back next time we're in town!

I got a vanilla latte and really enjoyed it. They also had some bakery items and sweet treats available, though I am not sure if they make them there or bring them in from somewhere else. The café itself is on the smaller side, but that makes sense since it is inside a hotel. There is still enough space to sit down and enjoy your coffee for a bit, and you could probably get some work done too, though I personally would feel a little awkward staying too long if it got busy. The service was good and the whole place had a nice relaxed feel to it.
