I have heard a lot about the donuts here and had no idea that I lived so close. I came by on a Saturday with the kids after soccer for donuts. We got a couple of donuts and they were pretty good. What really jumped out and made the visit memorable was the impulsive cake slice purchase. The cake was dense, moist, and heavy with frosting. The slice must have weighed 5 pounds, made full of good stuff. It took my whole family to eat it. The service was pretty good, too. read more

Wuollet bakery consistently knocks it out of the park with their custom cakes. I am really writing this review as a thank you to the decorator who took the time to decorate my adorable mushroom birthday cake. So delicious and well done!! read more

Because a picture is worth 1000 words... (no, I did not order a broken cake, nor did I order an "earthquake cake" or a "Grand Canyon cake". Someone suggested to me that maybe this happened because they froze my cake and then didn't fully thaw it before I picked it up and drove it home. Whatever happened, it's not OK. It's such a shame because this bakery used to be amazing before the ownership changed. read more

Went here for the first time thanks to Yelp's special celebration. While I did not like the famous Princess Torte cake, their Chocolate Mousse cake was absolutely amazing. It was so rich, creamy and so flavorful! If you are a fan of chocolate/chocolate cakes I would highly recommend this cake. If you are having a craving for carrot cake, I would also recommend their carrot cake cupcake. I need to come back to try the other items - cookies, donuts, bread, and other pastries! Can't wait!! read more

I've visited Wuollet a few times now on separate occasions. I decided this would be an amazing place to order a cake for my mom for Mother's Day. I ordered their Princess Torte online (super easy, they even let you customize the cake with whatever text you want) and I set a pickup time and location. When I went to pick up, I ordered a chocolate croissant to go along with it (can't walk away with just one thing!). The cake was amazing (pictures below). I wasn't a huge fan of the marzipan but my mom loved it and that was the important part. As for the croissant, it is the only reason I'd bring my rating down a star. To me, this wasn't a croissant at all. It didn't taste flakey and buttery, it reminded me more of a chocolate pastry. But, I went and visited again! As a Yelp Elite, we were given the opportunity to attend a cupcake decorating class so I took home six cupcakes and a ginger molasses cookie (like I said, always more than one ). Y'all, this cookie. I cannot wait to get my hands on another one. It's soft, sweet and oh so perfect. Yum. And the cupcakes!!!!!! Please, treat yourself. This isn't an "off the shelf of a grocery store" cupcake. You can TELL it's made with love (and lots of butter). Absolutely to die for. Would highly recommend. read more

This place had amazing selections of cakes and desserts! I tried a slice of the raspberry torte cake and a regular cupcake , both had a unique taste to it and great flavor In the cake and frosting. I loved the fondont as well on the raspberry one, usually I'm not a fan of fondont. I saw they had a variety of other desserts too which I would love to try in the future! read more

I got a coupon online for a complimentary pastry and coffee from this bakery so I thought I would make my way over here. There weren't too many visible parking spots in the front to me, but you may have to wrap around the building and find a spot on the side or find street parking. Either way it's free, so it's a plus! I tried the drip coffee which was okay, not anything special but with some of my own creamer at home, tasted pretty decent. I also tried the chocolate croissant and decided to get an additional pastry - the lemon blueberry scone. The croissant was pretty good, though not like a typical french croissant. Not as flaky or buttery but still delicious. The layer of chocolate in the middle was thin but it still was a decent pastry that I would come back for if I am in the area. The lemon blueberry scone on the other hand, was a different story. It was harder on the outside and kind of had the consistency of bread rather than a scone. Although I was able to taste the lemon flavor, it wasn't very strong. It was just bland overall. I think if they hiked up the sweetness or maybe added a different butter to dough ratio, it has the potential to be a great scone. I did try a sample of their maple bar and it tasted delicious - like a pecan pie! I have regrets I didn't get that. I feel like this bakery is a hit or miss - so choose your bakery items wisely! read more

Wuollet decorators have lost their minds - and my business.  I would let it go if this was the first time they'd ruined an event cake for me personally, but it's not.  It's the THIRD time.  This is the cake they tried to give me for my Marine son's 25th birthday party.  NOT at all what I asked for, very clearly.  Who would ask for this???  The cashier was very apologetic and clearly very embarrassed, and honestly, we laughed (who wouldn't?).  But also, who gave the okay to present this cake to a customer?   Then, when the cashier called the manager to get me a refund, they got told to ask me if I would TAKE THIS ABOMINATION HOME TO MY FAMILY in exchange for a 50% discount.  Um, no.  I got a refund for the difference between this monstrosity and a random cake from the case which was not what I'd ordered.  Personally, I think I should have been offered a full refund and a free cake, because this was just egregious. Moral of the story:  DO NOT buy your event cake from Wuollet.  They clearly cannot be trusted to deliver quality decorations anymore. read more

Wuollet Bakery - Wuollet decorators - WHAT IS HAPPENING??? - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

a Wuollet customer since the mid 80's. bought our wedding cake there in 1993. The current bakery is a shell of its former self. The place looks tired, is dirty, and just looks like no one really cares. Sad. Ordered classic Lady Baltimore. They cheap out on icing. It is so thin. The flower design looked like an amateur did it. Not even close to the picture on the website. By the way the donuts are tiny as are the cupcakes. They have ruined the legacy and I just saw where they bailed out on the Wayzata location - behind on rent. All good things come to end and this place is done. The lack of cleanliness is the worst part. At least take some pride in appearance. read more

My daughter wanted something sweet after her swimming lesson and stated she wanted to go back to the bakery where I had picked up my cupcakes for my class. So I thought, "Hey, I got the $5 off coupon to use" but no cigars since I didn't read carefully that I needed to use it for online orders only. Oh well. Service was prompt since we were the only ones in the store. We got some snickerdoodles cookies and a slice of the Princess Torte to try. My little girl devour her snickerdoodle the second we drove away and asked if she could eat her sister's and dad's cookies too. I will use the coupon to get their Mankato bar to try for our next outing. read more

This bakery is in a great location, surrounded by a lot of dining options & shops (I went to the Edina one). For Yelp's birthday they were giving us a free slice of cake, so obviously could not turn this freebie down! They had about 5 different flavors of cake to choose from. I went with the carrot cake. It was good, but didn't blow me away! Tasted like your traditional carrot cake. I'd come back and try something else! read more

I usually hate buttercream icing, but there is something about the buttercream here that is just AMAZING! I know I had a few cakes from here in my younger years (like ages 1, 2 and 3) but I don't remember them. I have now stopped in a few times and absolutely love their lady baltimore cupcake. The icing is delicious! I also purchased a doughnut which is fine, but not the star of the show. I have also tried the princess torte slice which I adore that you can buy individual slices of torts and cakes. I had never had a princess torte and it was great and not something I would get elsewhere. The staff is always so amazing and kind! I love that they are local and make everything in house from scratch! read more

Has been my go to cake place for 30 years. Just ordered a cake for a 60th birthday party. The cake looked like a child decorated it. When I called the manager at the Edina location and I told her my granddaughter could have done better she challenged me and said I would like to see it. Rude. read more

I have been a customer since or before the 90s and the decline in the service and even some of the products have not gone unnoticed,but I had ordered a birthday cake for a family member as we have been ordering theses cakes on and off since the 90s and when I showed up to get the cake on the birthday which was 6/16/23 they told me the customer service had not sent the order over and they had no cake. I was really upset as it's the day of the birthday and as I stated we buy theses cakes all the time a strawberry soufflé which is a great cake. So I had to at the last minute find another option as we did not want another cake type from them , also I was told then in addition to the cake not being made that they had stopped making the cake so the order should have never been taken! And they never got the order! Wait for it! It gets worse, so because I have another family members birthday coming up in July I called the CS line to report this to the manager who was some what friendly but had no idea on how to keep a loyal customer. She looked into the issue then came back after I was on hold for about 15 minutes, and told me they have the cake still sitting in the freezer at the location, really, and then she insulted me more by saying she's sorry and hopes I will give them another try without offering any kind of gesture, of kindness from her business as they had excuse my language F@&$ up! I don't expect anything from anyone for free but even just offering say, on your next purchase from us I will give you a discount or something for your troubles and I want you to stay a customer and this was not your fault! And I want you to come back! Normally I usually decline but some times if it's a big mistake I take them up on it! Well they never offered! Instead , it's a weak sorry about this hope you give us another try, wow since the management/ownership changed it's seems to have gone down hill, even seeing flys in the bakery now, so I most likely will never go back as there are many other options and their management needs to know that! I'm a firm Believer in money talks and unhappy customers walk! read more

Popped by Wuollet to pick up a birthday cake. It wasn't pre-ordered. Just one of their cakes in their case. I ended up getting their Princess Torte which is one of the best cakes I've had in my life. It's not too heavy, and not too sweet. I would get this cake again. It is delicious. read more

ordered two cakes two different times. First time I go to pick it up and they have the order but no cake. The second time I order it over the phone five days ahead of time. i email them two days later regarding the decoration on the cake. They email me back and say they can't find my order! So I tell them the order again and now they tell me they stopped making that cake! You have to be kidding me. read more

I ordered my Thanksgiving breads and desserts from the Wuollet location in Edina, because I like to support local when I can. I went to pick them up, and much to my surprise, only half the order was ready; I was told the other half was delayed and I was assured it would be ready by 10:30am, three-and-a-half hours after the scheduled time. Not once was I called or notified about this delay prior to stopping in at 7:00am, which was the originally quoted time to pick up my order. I stop in again at 11:30am. I was once more told the order was delayed but would be ready between 1-2pm. Surprise! I also wasn't called or notified in any way about this second delay. At 2:30pm, I call before going back. I spoke to Annie, who told me my order would not be ready until Thanksgiving morning -- a day later than scheduled -- but had never once bothered to send so much as an e-mail about this third delay (or any of the prior two delays, for that matter.) Apparently there was a "production issue" at wherever the breads and desserts were made. In summary, the store was making blind promises, not communicating and had ultimately not fulfilled my order. I requested a refund instead, as I was not going to continue this game with this store or with Annie, and I certainly wasn't stopping in on Thanksgiving morning because of *their* mistake. Annie gave me a refund and that was it. This lack of communication and continued, unexplained delays were absurd. There was no reason the store could not have communicated the delays -- it was a large Thanksgiving order, after all. I will never, ever do business with this bakery again. In reading other reviews here, I think that's the best choice. Do not recommend. Absolutely terrible. read more

Used to be the best bakery in Minneapolis but am super disappointed now. I am visiting and was excited to go but after having their donuts they were not fresh, seemed to be a day old. No longer will be going to Wuollet after today. read more

Wuollet was my go-to bakery for cakes since my kids were toddlers. Moved from Minnesota 12 years ago but always got a cake every year when visiting. Because of the pandemic 2018 was the last time we had Wuollet so when my youngest was coming for a couple days last week the one thing they knew they were getting was a Wuollet cake. When we picked them up from the airport we couldn't wait to get home and have cake. After the cake on our way home my other daughter called me and when I asked what they thought about the cake they mentioned something was off with the frosting and I realized it hadn't been true buttercream. Both the texture and flavor were off (and now I know why the top had shifted and slid so it wasn't even with the bottom layer). I had also noticed the cake itself wasn't the same, it was more dense and the texture was coarse and not truly white (like it used to be). We both couldn't believe they would change something they're known for--if it ain't broke why fix it? When I asked my other daughter who bought it if they noticed anything they said yes right away. It wasn't horrible--we did eventually eat the whole thing. But it wasn't anything special either--I've had better from a grocery store. You can't make buttercream frosting without butter. After reading other reviews here I see they changed ownership a couple years ago and someone mentioned the butter substitute in the frosting. At least it wasn't our imagination but this is so disappointing. Wuollet will no longer be a must have when we're back visiting. read more

I ordered a cake for our 50th Anniversary and asked that they decorate it with hamburgers, french fries, and champagne. The cake was delicious and the frosting artists did an incredible job on the decorations! The hamburger and French fries were 3-D, and the had a champagne bottle and a glass with bubbles. I could not have been more pleased, and my guests loved it all! Thank you! read more

This place has declined greatly over the past several years. Dirty floors, not much stock in the display cases, and product quality, size and variety of offerings has gone down. I am sure the original Wuollet family members are rolling over in their graves. The floor was so dirty when I visited that I almost walked out. read more

Rude, Rude, Rude. Where do I start, Olga needs to learn manners and how to treat customers that keep her doors open. I took a cake that they made back because the decorations on the top were not what we had ordered. I asked Olga if she could take the icing off the top and start over. She said she didn't think anything was wrong with the way it looked. I said the cake looks like a 10-year-old had decorated it and it was not any of the colors that we had requested nor did the cake look anything like what we had asked for. Olga said, maybe you should've been more specific...I asked Olga if she would want this for her 16-year-old daughter and she chuckled. Then she asked me what did I pay for the cake? I told her and she said well you get what you pay for. Really... well that set the tone... I explained to her that the customer was always right and she said no they're not this point I really just wanted to throw the cake in her face (but I didn't). I will never ever again purchase anything from this bakery. Oh, and by the way, she told me to get the fuck out of her store (Olga's words) well I did have a word to say after that... Olga needs to take etiquette classes and learn how to be professional towards the customers. She also needs to understand who pays her bills. I can promise you no one I know will ever go into her store again..... bad business!!! Did you ZERO Star Rating from m read more

Today went to Woullet's bakery to have a correction made on one of the most horrific cakes I've ever seen and look like a 10-year-old had decorated it. The woman we spoke with was Olga I'm assuming the owner and when I asked her to redo the top of the cake, she said she couldn't do any better than what was already done, she asked how much we paid for the cake, we told her and she laughed and said well you get what you pay for. Then she said she remembered another cake she had redone for me and proceeded to say that that cake had too much shit on it (Olga's words to me). She was extremely rude, and unwilling to help we even asked her would she want her daughter to have this cake on her 16th birthday and she laughed. The joke here is Olga very non professional guess she doesn't really understand who pays or keeps her in business and it's the customers. She got rude with me so my fiancé got rude back and she told us to leave her Fucking Store, we said to her the customers are always right she said no they are not...I really wanted to shove that cake in her face. Never Again will I ever go back.... Lost customer forever and anyone I know I will make sure they don't go either. read more

So I called Wouletts Bakery on 50th and France got a Rep from Grandmas Bakery spoke with a Shelly had her take my order and she fucked it up we were on the phone for about 40 minutes I clearly told this woman that I wanted a cake with replicaof a BeBe Branded Purse we decided on a 9 inch round I told her I wanted a satchel purse on top of the cake I wanted to duplicate of a black patent leather satchel purse on top of the cake she quoted me a price I paid her for the cake and what the fuck I got is a cake that looks like my grandkids could've or DID the artwork and the purse was a little bitty purse put on the front of the cake TF yeah it was the WORST EXAMPLE OF A REPLICA cake EVER taste good there wasn't much filling in it so I think I just paid for a bunch of freaking white cake with icing yeah I'm not happy and I'll never order from them again read more

I have been a loyal and frequent customer of Wuollets for over 25 years and am so very disappointed in its decline over the last few years since its sale to new owners. The altering of recipes, elimination of favorite items and downsizing of products has left me feeling that the product is not worth the price. I can get the same quality at the supermarket. Even the birthday cake I purchased the other day, which did taste great, was lop-sided and the message they iced on looked like a child did it. I miss the quality products they once offered. read more

My experience here was really favorable. I stopped in a hurry to pick up a few dozen donuts for the office. The lady who helped me, was very efficient, respectful of my time, and did a great job of packaging the donuts. I thought the price was more than reasonable and those donuts disappeared in minutes when I returned to the office. I'll be back. read more

I have loved having Wuollet's cupcakes and cakes at every birthday party and family celebration for the past 10+ years. They have reliably been a special treat for many occasions. That's why I chose to buy their cupcakes for our Mother's Day party. When I picked up my order, I saw that the cupcakes are about half the size they used to be. Nothing special at all, so unlike what they used to be. They looked like cupcakes I could make with a baking mix at home. The cashier told me new owners took over recently. They decided to change their wonderful cupcakes into what they are now, but keep their close to $4/piece price. Their website still shows their old cupcakes in the photos. That is what I believed I was ordering. What a complete disappointment. I will never again order from this once-treasured family-owned business. So deceptive to show the old photos and make no mention of the new changes to their product. Really sad to see. read more

I have for the past 25 years ordered my cakes from here because the decorations are amazing. Last year the gave us a cake fail, but I ordered again because it's my daughter's favorite.

I'm done with crazy expensive cakes. Not worth the disappointment read more

I was a customer of Wuollets for over 25 years. I stopped going after they were bought out in last couple years, but sometimes old habits and wishful thinking, tricks me into giving them another try, like this morning. My strongest recommendation is DON'T GO. Better off going to local grocery store. Their donuts are barely, and I mean barely edible! My bona fides are that I went there when they took over Olson Bakery location in Wayzata, then switch to Chaska, when the had a location there. Would drive daily to get an apple turnover, raised glaze, and others. All birthdays cakes were purchased their, and were worth the price! So I know what I am talking about They USE TO BE craftsman, light flaky pastries, cookies, cakes, donuts. I have never seen a businesses quality drop so precipitously. As a rec, Try The Grocer's Table in Wayzata if you want to try something high quality. read more

Solid bakery. No complaints. Bummer some have had a negative experience. I did see one disappointing chocolate croissant photo. I forgot to take photos this time - not the norm for me - but our chocolate croissant seemed much more on point. Was very pleasantly surprised with the carmel pecan croissant as well. The donuts and danishes were good though nothing unique - decent quality common baked good to be found at most bakeries and def better than any grocery bakery. Would prolly give the baked goods 4-4.5 but pushing this review to a 5 bc was very pleasantly surprised at a really well done latte! read more

I wish I did not have to write this review. But this may have been the worst experience with a bakery I have ever had in my life. We ordered a huge cake for 200+ people for a funeral. The order went through and we thought we were good to go. Then, we showed up today, the day of. They told us the cake never was prepared and they couldn't do anything. The young lady helping us with the order was nothing but helpful and obviously had nothing to do with this issue but it was incredibly upsetting given that this was a very important event and we did not have a cake for it due to this bakery's fuck up. I cannot emphasize more how much we will never visit this establishment ever again because of this mistake. and I would highly discourage anyone else who actually wants to get a cake when they order it from as well. read more

So disappointing! Their pastries and sweets look ordinary. Nothing seems high-end like it used to. The brownies and pecan bars were absolutely terrible! The Princess Torte looks messy and different than it's original version. The donuts were moist but the genache was funky tasting, similar to the brownies. Wuollet sized to be a French style bakery with treats you couldn't find anywhere else. Half of those are no longer even made and the ones that are available are not even appealing. The cupcakes were literally falling apart and looked as though they had been thawed out. I'm so sad because the quality was not kept when ownership changed. I've tried twice now hoping it was just an off day, but no such luck. read more

I love this bakery. The service is really good and the food is very good. Warning there are a lot of tempting treats.
