Patrick's has been my favorite pastry shop since Le Petite Marche (Patrick's). Everything tastes…read morebetter than it looks and they look excellent. The Sarah cake with it's pistachios, eclairs that aren't soggy, strawberry Napoleans, etc... The hardest part is choosing. I want to buy 20 but settle for 2. It is probably best that we don't live nearby or I would be here daily. The breads are amazing too. Lots of options plus sandwiches and entrees. Did I mention the desserts? Don't skip a dessert, or two, better three.

We stopped by this place after lunch one day and I guess I should have listened to the other…read morenegative reviews... There is free parking but this place is located in a strip mall, so it does make it harder to find a spot. The service here was interesting. The "shift lead" seemed very confused ringing us up. It was as if he had never used the computer before. He also seemed frazzled. It really wasn't busy, so I'm not sure what was going on. Later, when we were seated, he did come and clean up our table and I did see him talking with others guests. We got really excited when we walked in because all of the desserts looked so good! Unfortunately this is where is really took a nose dive. The lemon tart was good but the crust was so hard we couldn't even cut into it. The cheesecake and tiramisu had bland flavors and the textures were so off putting... not what you would expect from a place that looked like this. Thor is indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is supposed to be French but it didn't feel very French. It was very dark in indoor part and outdoors had lighting but they seemed to be just thrown up and many of the light bulbs were out. All around I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially when there are amazing bakeries around the area

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.

Average place for coffee and pastries The mocha was not my…read morefavorite and the pan au chocolat croissant was just ok- could have used more chocolate filling and I didn't like the chocolate crumbles on top those were very bitter Best to warm those up before eating The scones were okay too - needed to eat those with a cup of tea as they are dry and crumbly The chocolate mousse cake was decent though

One of my favorite ice cream places in Minnesota. I'm a big fan of the hazelnut brownie flavor!…read moreIt's only my second time here and it never disappoints. You can tell the ingredients they used to make their ice cream are high quality for sure. We were greeted upon arrival. My friends got their sweet corn flavor and passion fruit mango sorbet and it was just so rich and refreshing! Their store has limited seatings but the vibes are immaculate! There is free parking around the area so it made it easy to visit every time!

I went here with some family members (one of whom is gluten-free) yesterday. We appreciate that the…read moreice cream is gluten-free by default unless noted! The flavor selection ("periodic table") is always kind of limited but it's a small location with not that many spots for flavors. I got the basil ice cream, which had that flavor note that you only ever get with fresh-from-the-garden basil. The location is also really good as it's walking distance from my family's place and the 50th and France area is pleasant to take a stroll around with your ice cream.

I have been trying to use up a gift card that I've had over a year. Cold Stone used to be one of my…read morefavorite ice cream places but I've since explored local ice cream shops & prefer that vs. chains. We stopped by around 4 after work during the week. 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 stopped here for a bite to eat after taking my child to the Camp Bluey experience in the mall…read more Upon walking in I noticed that the cleanliness was average. The employees were polite and friendly but the service was a little on the slower side. while looking at the menu I noticed that it was a little bit on the pricier side of things. For appetizers we ordered the fried mozzarella and fried pickles. The fried mozzarella was three pieces of mozzarella covered in breading. Each was the size of a small boneless chicken breast. I felt that they were a little on the bland side but still edible. I did not eat the fried pickles. For my meal, I ate the chicken alfredo, which was pretty good. The portion was larger than I expected. My wife ordered the Asian salad, to me it appeared to be a massive amount of food. She barely ate it and did not really like it. My mom and daughter ate chicken tenders and fries. they said they were good. For desert, I ordered the chocolate fudge cake and it did not disappoint. It was rich and delicious. My wife had a pice of cheese cake and she said it was delicious. My daughter just had some ice cream, which she really enjoyed. My mom kept trying to steal bites of the cake that I had ordered. I would eat here again and do recommend it but if you eat here, remember it is a little bit on the pricier side.

I haven't had Cheesecake Factory in probably 2 years! I miss it…read more I really liked Evelyn's Favorite Pasta and tuxedo cheesecake. The pasta was light, healthy tasting, and flavorful. The cheesecake had a good mix of cake, chocolate, and cheesecake. Both the entree and cheesecake took me 2 meals to finish, which I think was perfect for not over stuffing myself at once. The cheesecake did seem much smaller than before, so that stinks, but it's still delicious.

The butter chicken tacos were a huge highlight for me! Everything I have ordered has been delicious…read morethough! Love the vibe too! The only downside is parking during dinner. They have a pretty small parking lot. There's street parking but it's a bit of a walk especially if the weather isn't nice. However, I've never had any issues getting a parking spot in their parking lot during brunch or happy hour!

Ambiance was beautiful got booth near a window. Started with nonalcoholic grape and cranberry…read moredrinks, both refreshing. Chicken noodles were a 10/10, easily the best I've had. Then we seen the super CUTEEEEE!! Pork belly sticky bun, we asked about the dish but due to dietary restrictions unable to eat pork & staff were immediately ready to accommodate and it was an amazing experience of inclusivity. So off- the menu we had a Chicken belly sticky bun tacos anddddd as you would expect another 10/10 dish. For dessert tres leche super yummy . Overall, great food and incredibly thoughtful service.

It has been quite a while since I've been here. I made a point of having us stop by on Sunday. It…read morewas hot, and I wanted ice cream. I also didn't want to go to DQ for soft serve. We got a cup of ice cream. He got Cappuccino Break, and I got strawberry. Strawberry is my favorite ice cream flavor. If you like coffee and chocolate, then you'd enjoy the CB. My friend really enjoyed it. It was too chocolatey for me. I do not like chocolate, so it stands to reason why I'd not love it. The strawberry ice cream made me think of when we'd make ice cream at home when we were children. It was hard work, yet always worth it. There was a great balance of strawberries to creaminess. The service was quick and friendly, and I'm glad that we stopped by. Will probably go again on Saturday, as we'll be back in the area. My son loved their Superman ice cream, so we'll see if he still wants to eat is all these years later. If you're in the area, stop by. You, your taste buds, and your tummy, will be glad that you did.

HERE TO RATE THE SALT BREAD…read more I've been to a few tous les jours, and it's a good quality overall bakery. I wanted to share my thoughts on the new salt bread. It's did not hit the mark for me unfortunately. I'm obsessed with salt bread, they're chewy yet soft, and crunchy on the bottom. This was none of it. The inside was also slightly under cooked. I might try again maybe it was a bad day but I was so excited for MN to have a salt bread place and was left disappointed.
