This looked like a good place to grab breakfast before heading to the airport and leaving Minneapolis. A French inspired bakery that touts their 130 year old starter, they make everything fresh in house. I got a coffee and baklava chocolate chip cookie for breakfast, and a to-go tuna club for a total of ~$30. They were good, but service was notably curt. I'd give it another try. read more

$18 (including tip-at least the person behind the counter was nice) FOR A CROISSANT AND AND ICED LATTE. Yes, you read that right. That's insane. Like seriously. What are you thinking? I tried to give this place another shot...but won't be back. Honestly,no croissant should cost that much. read more

Sorry this place is way overpriced for the quality of coffee and pastries. Was excited to check this place out because it's close to work. Very nice barista and small cute space but $20 dollars later I threw out most of my coffee and stale pastry.. quality is just not there. read more

Meh, I had chocolate croissant $10 with tip & thought it was not any better than the dozen I get at Costco for $5.99 but the place is cute

Mother Dough was cozy and adorably decorated in Art Deco vibes on a crisp Monday before our flight. We had a croissant, latte, americano and cookie. Food was tasty and drinks were hot & strong. I appreciated their accessibility measures to allow all to enjoy their upstairs space, too. read more

Beautiful spot in the Mill District downtown Minneapolis! Met a colleague here and was lured in by the natural light, a gigantic pastry case, and the overall vibe. I also hadn't eaten yet so it was nice to try out an almond croissant and their Parisian-style breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious, and the coffee was good and strong. They also seemed friendly and the bathrooms are nice. Definitely a good spot if you're in this area. I enjoyed a quick walk by the river shortly after and felt all the good energy that Minneapolis offers each time I visit. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a hot day. Loved the outdoor seating and selection of baked goods. Ended up trying the Greek yogurt and fresh granola. The granola was delicious and I also enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie, though it was a little under cooked in the very center. read more

I tried their half sandwich half soup combo for $12.50. My chicken baguette was five stars. The chicken was super tender. The baguette was soft and tasty. It had a ton of stuff in it including mozzarella. I need to add mozzarella to all my sandwiches from now on! The wild rice soup was good. I also tried their matcha latte, which just didn't wow me as much with their matcha power. Service was friendly. We enjoyed their outdoor seating and overall ambiance. I would come back just for that chicken baguette sandwich. read more

Cute bakery! The atmosphere drew me in and I like the location in the Mill District. The space is really big and there's a cozy fireplace upstairs. Service was solid, too. I tried a lemon loaf and a miel; the miel was good, but I wouldn't order that lemon loaf again, since it was tiny and fairly dry. Everything else about Mother Dough encourages me to come back and try different treats, though! Metered street parking in the area. read more

Great first experience. Stopped in after lunch nearby for a latte and a tasty snack for later. Exceptionally friendly staff, it was a bit of wait, but it was a busy Saturday morning, so understandable. My latte was delicious, and reports on the pastries were positive. Would recommend. read more

I took my friends on a field trip down the street from the hotel. They wanted to go check out some bakeries and I said there's one down the street. The glass is decorated with colors of gold like writings, which was very cool. Once inside was beautiful. Look at the ceiling! They offer pastries, desserts, coffee, tea, and wine. Anything to get your morning started. The dining area is upstairs just some ways down from the pastry counter. read more

I was excited to walk down to this new location for lunch! It did not disappoint! I had the daily quiche with olives, cheese, ham, and other veggies - amazing!!! It came with a side of greens that I loved! I also had a Chai. It was perfectly sweet and spiced, but WAY too hot haha. I didn't get a sweet treat this time but they all looked amazing. My co-worker said the vegan chocolate cake was the best she'd ever ever had. The staff was friendly and fairly quick. The vibes were so cute and great for breakfast or lunch. Seating for 20 or so. Prices were reasonable but not low by any means. That's probably the only thing that will keep me from going weekly haha. But definitely worth the visit! read more

It's very cute inside, French Parisian vibe. There is outdoor seating as well with heaters. It is a walk up and order so easy grab and go options. The chocolates and truffles looked tasty so we will probably try that next time. The Miel was excellent, not too sweet and good coffee flavor. We loved the chocolate croissant which tasted fresh. The down side was the chicken baguette sandwich. The chicken was dry, not a lot of flavor, and the baguette was very chewy. We ordered it along with our other food items and were given a table number, assuming that the sandwich would be brought to us. But the baguette was just from the display counter and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. read more

Changing my mind from originally poor impression to much improved. Here for lunch and really enjoyed the MD club. Generous ingredients that were good. A special mayonnaise and sliced tomatoes were separately provided on the side. This worked well as you could customize your sandwich. Their mayo was really good. Then we had a banana bread with a kind of frosting provided as a very generous dollop. That was also good! So, we're in the neighborhood and will be coming back. read more

We have been walking past this new location for three weeks, wondering when it would open. So we were very excited when we saw it was finally open. It's a very cute space, with a nice patio outside and beautiful tiled walls inside. Service was good. It seems they are trying to do a French thing, with imported Parisian chocolates and macarons, so this should be something we would love, but we were not wowed. Prices were above average and the croissant was nothing to write home about, like your typical soft chewy American croissant. And the baguette was also not what we would expect from a place trying to do French pastries. While perfectly edible, it didn't have the crust or crumb we expect from a true baguette. More like a grocery store bakery. It's convenient to our work, so we may be back to try other things, but this first venture was definitely mediocre at best. read more

Showed up at 11:15am and wanted a breakfast sandwich. Employee said breakfast ended at 11:00 and was unwavering. That is my pet peeve in a coffee place that is geared towards breakfast/brunch. I begrudgingly ordered a scone and it was below average. Tasted like a stick of butter with texture. Prices for everything were too high (I know this is our current reality, unfortunately) Seating area was nice. If you are hungry for a $15 breakfast sandwich, then you better show before 11am. Otherwise, be prepared to overpay for something you don't want. read more

Awesome place for breakfast before the Vikings and Bears game. Great Persian breakfast sandwich. Croissant and parfait were great. Will be back next time we are here! read more

Ugh. That's how I felt when I purchased a chocolate chip cookie for close to $4.50. It felt hard, and I prefer soft cookies. Then I took a bite. It was AMAZING. Soft and chewy, with a crunch on the sides. The best cookie I've had in a long time. Only reason for the 4/5 is that they didn't take cash. Only cards. read more

Stopped for breakfast. Limited options. Everything seems pre-packaged and reminded me of airline food. Was hoping for a fresh bakery experience but this place missed the mark. Staff was friendly and atmosphere very nice, but the food - not so much. read more

Amazing food and service! Sandwiches are off the charts, definitely worth a stop for breakfast or lunch
