I spotted it today and did a U-turn to check it out after noticing quite a few cars in their lot! Even before 9AM, I could tell they had sold a ton of their inventory! I am a donut "purist" - so I figured I would try their glazed donut! AMAZING! I have been to most of the donut shops that get strong reviews in the Twin Cities, and Denny's belongs on the lists! When I have more time (and a more concrete dinner plan), I want to come back to pickup dinner buns/rolls + cookies! Everything looked great! I'll certainly be back!

I ordered a cake from here for my daughter's 5th birthday. Pickup was easy and the communication…read morebetween the baker and me was super easy! I was able to tell her what I wanted and then pick it up the morning of the party. The only reason I took one star off was because when I got home, the cake kind of split in the middle and it got ruined. I had it on an upright, even surface when I drove home, but it might not have been stabilized well enough, since it got damaged. Other than that, it tasted great, looked great, and was a hit at the party.

We were walking down Main St on our way to the food truck festival when we came across Amy's…read moreCupcake Shoppe. Truthfully, I was on the hunt for a bathroom, but was more than willing to grab a sweet treat while we were there. I had already peeked at what people were enjoying out on the patio, and on such a perfect spring day, it was hard to pass up. We ended up trying a few macarons. They were beautifully displayed and there were so many flavors to choose from. We had a family dinner later that day, so they felt like a great option to bring along. We stopped in closer to 1pm so I'm guessing the selection of donuts and cakes was a bit picked over compared to the morning hours. That said, they still have a good variety and I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try one of those donuts! We had a few questions about how the macarons would hold up in a warmer car, and the employee helping us was happy to answer everything. It seemed like the owner was there as well and heading out for the day. She was very kind, especially to let us use the bathroom. One quick note, Google shows Amy's Cupcake Shoppe as permanently closed, so they may want to look into updating that. Overall, a really great stop and one I'm glad I stumbled into - those usually are the best!

The person behind the counter was very nice and was able to answer a couple questions I had about the macaroons. Thats what we got, some macaroons. They ended up being so good, crispy and chewy perfection. The flavors were great too! Also on the menu was donuts, cupcakes, and even regular cakes (even though they were sold out for the day) Definitely worth the stop anytime youre in downtown Hopkins. And PS, they do have a bathroom!

Cupcake is located in a large plaza. You can't miss the signage of a huge cupcake in blue and pink. I parked in one of the curbside pickup spots. I was picking up a takeout order and felt that it was fine. While waiting for a nice woman to fetch my order, I was looking at the desserts. This place has ice cream, macarons, and lots of baked goods. The chocolate croissant caught my attention. I knew that I needed to get one. When the woman returned with my Mason Jar Kitchen order, I asked if I could get the chocolate croissant. Yes! She got me one and placed it in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I also managed to include a tip. It was straightforward. I thanked the woman and headed back to the hotel to have lunch. I had the chocolate croissant as an afternoon snack. The croissant was okay. It was buttery, but it wasn't as flaky has I had hoped. It was more dense like a paperweight. I wanted flaky and airy. The chocolate was yummy. I prefer dark chocolate and loved it. I feel the need to go back and consume more items. The cakes and cheesecakes looked yummy. I was too early to take advantage of 50% off all pastries after 3 pm. I need to come back after this time and see if I can find a pastry that wows me. (459)

When I arrived, the door showed completely different hours and was not even open that day. I called the number on the door and told them their online hours and days were incorrect but so far they have not been changed online. The hours on the door are Wed-Sat, noon to 3pm. So today is one of the days the door says they're open. I got here about ten after 12 (it says they open at noon), it's now 12:20 and there's no one here. I called the number on the door and it goes to a voicemail that doesn't even describe say its name so I'm unsure if it's the correct number. As Im in the lot another customer came. She asked me if I knew what was going on. She said her daughter had a wedding cake from here that was wonderful and she had done a tasting with her other daughter. She's been trying to order a wedding cake for her. She said she got ahold of someone once, they told her to come in to order it, and it's now been three weeks and she has tried and no one has responded to her request. I've heard great things about this place and wish I could go in. I'm going to assume that since no one is here now they have not baked any cakes or at least not fresh so it's probably not worth waiting around. I really hope to try this place, the cakes are supposed to be great! But I'm a little irritated that I've now driven here twice from southeast Minneapolis and no one is around.

I did end up getting the wedding cake cupcake. It was okay. The cupcake itself is a bit dry and the frosting is not sweet (the baker did warn me). I quite enjoyed the lemon filling but don't know if I'd be returning due to the flavor. They do offer treats for dogs so that's a win! They also have macaroons and non cupcake treats. It is very quiet and clean inside, great for an intimate conversation or study session. Glad I was finally able to try this place!

The place was empty. Eventually an employee came out. No greeting or anything just stood there until we ordered. I almost always get cake batter w/ Kit Kat mixed in. One thing I've always liked about Cold Stone is that the ice cream is thicker and doesn't melt so fast but not sure if the utensils they used were warm or what but my ice cream was a bit soft & pretty melted by time all 3 orders were made & we paid. It was good otherwise. Place was fairly clean. They have 2-3 tables to dine in. Parking is easy, as it's in a strip mall as well as shared larger parking lot.

We were contracted with a venue that mandates we work with Buttercream but my experience with the…read moreowner literally put me in a panic attack. We arrived for our appointment and David was the only person in the shop. We sat down to do our trial and a customer duo came in. One who we assume knows David personally who was bringing her "out of town friend" (we later found out her friend is from Golden valley) to try out the cupcakes. David left us at the table and never came back for questions. We kept trying to signal him to come back as we had questions on if we could put certain fillings with certain cakes. My anxiety started to climb as he continued to ignore us for these two ladies purchasing 2 cupcakes. This was my first time ever being a bride and I am a baker since my grandmother taught me to bake when I was little. To say I was looking forward to picking out my wedding cake more than my wedding dress was accurate and yet here we were being completely ignored by David. After they had a long conversation about this and that David finally came back to us and asked what we wanted to do. My fiance stepped up and said we had a few questions. I then began to ask if we could pair the caramel with the white cake and Davids response was as if I was the dumbest person on the earth for not knowing you can not put it on white cake since it cant support it. We asked if the cookies and cream filling could be put on white cake and he just kept giving us answers as if we were wasting his time. Not treating us like we were going to purchase large cake for a wedding. I started to shut down since I started fearing asking any questions. He then started asking us if we wanted tiered or cupcakes and obviously I had questions about if pricing would look different and all that so my husband had to ask the questions. I ended up in tears unable to make a decision and hating my interaction with David and his lack of customer service. We walked out of there with myself in tears unsure what to do because David was absolutely the worst. We reached out to our venue/catering manager about the experience and she told us that should not have been what happened and told us we should try the st paul location and that she would ensure we have someone who is actually friendly to work with us. If we were not required to use this bakery after this experience, we would have not.
