    Croissant bread
    Jennifer B.

    I wanted to like it, but the croissant bread was dense and not super flavorful (update: it got a little better once I hit the cholate section) but was still not my fave. There were only 2 people working to take orders and make drinks at 9:30 am, so it took a long time to get our order, even though there were only two people on line ahead of us. My flavored latte was ok (I got the monthly special) , but it didn't come out very hot and I thought it was licking in the flavor. This is a take-away place, do not expect to sit down inside (at least on the second floor). The first floor offers smoothies but no food. I would go back to try some of the other baked goods, but on this trip, just 3 stars.

    Delicious bread and croissants
    David P.

    Got a variety of things just to try it out and I loved it. I have baked for a long time and my grandma was a French baker as well. I make my own French bread, brioche, and baguettes all the time. So I am very critical on breads and as I thought it was lovely. Fhima's for me is always quality goods. Bread is reasonably priced, however the croissants are a little overpriced. Everything was delicious as always. The ambiance is a cute, quant, and nicely decorated. The staff was ok they were not the most polite and was a little disappointed in the eye roll I got when asking if the breads change or are the three options always the same. She said I don't know and nothing else. I hope they keep this line up as the sourdough is definitely something I would like to try. Overall I wanted to give 5 as I always do with Fhima's, however I am used to great service on top of great food. That unfortunately fell a bit short in this case and I know would not be up to Fhima's high standards of food and service.

    Poor excuse for a bakery, much less a French one. Pastries not fresh at all and were soggy. The one pictured was clearly 1-2 days old, not crispy at all. The croissants the family ordered were not flaky, also underwhelming. How is this place even in business still in a city like MSP? Hardly anything in the case for a bakery on a weekday morning. Sad

    On my quest to keep trying places when I'm working downtown I came across Mother Dough while looking for a new breakfast place. This place is beautiful, the decor and vibe of the whole place is immaculate and gorgeous. For that alone I'd give them 5 stars! When I arrived it was pretty busy but the line went fast, the staff was patient while I ordered and answered questions as I had them. Food came out pretty quickly and it did not disappoint. My only complaint was the price point. I know things are getting higher in price (especially downtown) but this felt a bit above what I'd feel comfortable paying every week. Which was a bummer as I really enjoyed my experience otherwise. I'll save it for a nice treat every once in a while but alas won't be in my regular rotation. I would still recommend, just know it'll be more than you're expecting and you'll be fine!

    Located in the Capella Tower downtown, this is a cute little bakery that's open till mid afternoon. I stopped by there for lunch today. One of my coworkers had recommended it. The place is nice and clean. Good decor and comfortable seating. The person on the counter was very helpful with my questions. I got the Tuna Club, skipping the bacon and choosing kettle chips as my side. Added a bottled coke for my drink. The total was $18. A little expensive, especially $4 for the coke. The sandwich was loaded. Lots of Tuna, with tomato, onions on fresh baked brioche bread. Topped with gherkins. This was a very filling sandwich with a good mix of flavors and textures. And very filling. If you are looking for something different for lunch downtown, I would recommend this place, even though it's a little expensive.

    Bakery entry is on the second floor of building

    A hidden gem! This place is as cute as the staff are wonderful. I was craving a chocolate chip cookie; lucky for me it came fresh from the oven and the smell alone was heavenly. It's a wonderful dense thick cookie, not too sugary or sweet, I loved it! Next time I'm downtown I'll try more things.

The dance floor was roomy enough for the people that were there. We had such a great time celebrating here! Parking was not bad either. They had a few lots and street parking around but they also did rent out a lot that we used that night. They had a family member shuttle too since it was freezing that day!

Contrary, when you only get so many warm months in MN, it's best to take advantage. Known for their vast array of pizzas, my table split a fancy Bahn Mizza (mirrored after a Bahn Mi sandwich) pizza along with a traditional pepperoni. Both were exceptional! Make sure to check the menu out in advance as there were some pretty cool options such as Carolina BBQ and Taco Truck. In addition, there are plenty of fun drinks such as frozen ones, wine, beer, and mocktails (shout out mocktails). The service was great and accommodating considering the live bands performing. They had their concept down to a T and placed wrist bands when entering after collecting the fee. Note: you can save money if you buy concert tickets online as opposed to at the show. Clean Plate Club rocked it per usual. If you haven't heard of this band, check them out. They are going to play at my wedding! Rock on, Day Block Brewing!!

Both were flavory albeit a little small for the price ($18). The fries were fresh and quite good. Town Hall may not be worth a trip if you're not a beer drinker, but if you're on the West Bank and need a bite to eat it's not a bad option!
