Heavy Table: The eclair is a reinvention of the form. Boasting a crunchy, streusel-style topping & rich chocolate filling, the appropriately chewy pastry is modestly sized and deeply flavored. Read more.
William Konkol: The pastries are fantastic and they knock it out with their chocolate-almond croissant!
Lauren Melcher: I love their almond croissants.
Dave Loomer: Everything here is good, both liquid and solid, but I usually get a miel or vanilla latte. Eclairs and bittersweet chocolate cookies are amazing.
Jake Hecker: Get the eclair and ask for Cade. He's in the picture.
Heavy Table: Try the bittersweet chocolate cookies or the kouign amann, which is like a sweet -- but denser -- croissant with a deeply caramelized, crunchy crust. Read more.
Aleshia Peña: The almond croissants are so amazing!
Kurt Neumann: Great quiche and almond croissant. They need wireless internet though!
Glenn Lindgren: Masters of the art of French pastry - if you can walk out without a bag of pastries in hand, you are a strong willed person. Wonderful sandwiches and a kick-ass Napoleon - the pastry, not the general.

Chris M: Try a whole wheat croissant with some almond butter. Fantastic!
The_Wedge: We deliver fresh baked goods daily. Buttermilk scones, croissants, cookies and muffins with vegan and gluten free selections available as well.
Laura Noren: They know how to make tea here, which is a rare find at a coffee-centric cafe. The pastries are superb especially: peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, feta and spinach croissants.

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine: Try the Celery Root Soufflé. Sitting prettily on brioche and dressed with braised leeks, this simple starter’s subtle earthiness surprises you.—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011
Eater: Alma offers one of Minneapolis's few vegetarian tasting menus. Dishes include celery root flan with caviar and brioche and crispy sweetbreads with angel hair pasta, & red miso glaze. [Eater 18 Member]
Paul Hegstrom: Significant other indulged for my birthday and purchased the chef’s table with wine pairings. Extremely beautiful atmosphere with the attached hotel and cafe. Food and wine: INSANE!

Leon Van Eck: The cold brew iced coffee is delicious, as are the buttery, flaky croissants.
Cassandra Lenhard: Toast bar is awesome, people are awesome! Such a good place to get work done! Stay in the front area if you are meeting for a chat though, the back is very echo-y
Jason Sigal: Lots more seating available than at first glace, in the side room.
Stephen Whelan: Try the cronuts. Better get there early.
Glenn Lindgren: By the time you read this the Cronut craze will be over. However, don't despair. A very good bakery with a good selection of excellent donuts and cupcakes. Try one of their freshly made pretzels.
Crystal Schmidt: Ode to Canada cupcake...so much maple, so much bacon. So perfect.
Cosmic Donuts: the cinnamon rolls are flaky like a croissant and some of the best i have had. the curried apple squash soup is my favorite. sriracha is availble for the jalapeno potato chz soup, which lacked heat
Jacqueline: Amazing pies and they give you huge slices! Very fun, hip spot. Be sure to get a slice.
Sammy Stoner: Can't go wrong with a cup of soup! Also, grab a sample of the jam for your bread.
