Cole KennedyFebruary 12, 2015Snag a fresh croissant and a cappuccino (with delicious Dogwood espresso) and sit at the bar to enjoy.
Coffee, ambiance, baristas. This is my weekend hanging spot. You can find all types of people here, from individuals, college students, family, kids.Overall a great coffee shop next to Lake Calhoun
City PagesFebruary 1, 2013Voted top 5 hot chocolate to get you through the cold! Ample seating, made-to-perfection hot chocolate; the barista taking an extra minute is worth the wait and makes anyone want to come back for more
Chloe Cole 👑August 18, 2011Favorite Minneapolis bakery & a great secret study spot for college students. Everything is good, even a simple vanilla steamer. Fresh products & great service- this place can do no wrong!
Victoria T.August 6, 2016The bittersweet chocolate cookies were amazing and so was the chocolate bouchon. Also if you're looking for coffee their mochas are great
Lindsey MossOctober 3, 2012One of the best independent coffee shops in Minneapolis. It is a great place to come get some work done or have a chat with a friend. Delicious coffee as well.
Melissa HansenAugust 22, 2012Olive loaf, egg braid, and fruit & nut bread are my favorites. No idea where to start with the rest, except buy a bittersweet chocolate chip cookie if they have any!
Nick ArcherNovember 15, 2011Their Clover machine helps to speed up the single-cup brew. It's great to have knowledgeable folks, like those at Rustica, to answer your questions rather than simply order-takers like at the chains.
Heavy TableJuly 21, 2014Try the bittersweet chocolate cookies or the kouign amann, which is like a sweet -- but denser -- croissant with a deeply caramelized, crunchy crust. Read more- Obviously the pastries and breads here are fantastic, but if you want a really good sandwich, this is a great spot to hit around lunch time.
Best multigrain rolls in the world ! And excellent coffee and place to have a confab with friends and family
Best latte in town, friendly employees and good people watching. Great bakery...bread is made by hand!
Tian Q.November 20, 2012Must get the kouign amann and bostok, or you are missing out from joy in the world. Call early in the day to pre-order just in case.
Best coffee (Dogwood coffee), bread ("Levain" especially), and pastries in Minneapolis.
Amy SullivanJune 4, 2012Great bakery. Employees are sweet with the exception of the baristas who are suuuuuper slow and think its more important to organize the mugs than prepare your order.- The espresso is good here abd so are the fresh pastries
Robin EdmanApril 21, 2015Oh my god! Everything is good, but the ginger cookies, when available, are amazing.
Andrew BuddMay 20, 2013The cold press is pretty good, as is the bittersweet caramel tart. Hitup punch first if you are feeling indulgent.
- City PagesFebruary 24, 2011Voted as Best Bakery by City Pages in the 2010 Best of the Twin Cities Issue. It’s a toss-up between the bittersweet chocolate and ginger cookies for ultimate supremacy, so it’s best to get both
- Everything here is good, both liquid and solid, but I usually get a miel or vanilla latte. Eclairs and bittersweet chocolate cookies are amazing.
Andrew KleinDecember 8, 2018Bostok: a thick slice of brioche, baked again with custard and almonds. Yum.
PinkoThinkerOctober 14, 2010Wait until a sunny day in the dead of winter. Bundle up and don't forget your boots! Walk across a frozen Lake of the Isles. Weather these elements just for lunch at Rustica. Leave room for dessert!
The best bread in the Cities. And best pastries too. And the best coffee three.- Get the eclair and ask for Cade. He's in the picture.
- Ginger cookies are out of this world. Epi baguettes are also a favorite. Get a traditional cappucino, made only one way, i.e., the way you make a cappucino.
Laura GriffithJuly 18, 2010The rustic bread is phenomenal. Take home a loaf and eat it with olive oil + balsamic. Also try the vanilla eclair...Yum!
The coffee will put you through the roof. A+++++ 10/10 would drink again.
Mon PhadungathDecember 2, 2010really good bread, love the passion-fruit tart .. slightly sweet, moderately acidic with a hint of saltiness :)
The bread it's the best! I love their pistachio chocolate danish!
Michael ParadiseApril 18, 2010The mocha's are the best. Very smooth and not too sweet. Also, get a pistachio chocolate danish. Delicious!
This is the place to get a regular cup of coffee. Each cup is made idividually using one of several different methods.
Polenta cake is delicious and fruity but not too sweet! Perfect.

"Get the farmer's breakfast. It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet and is a satisfying brunch pick. You might be tempted to get the bottomless mimosas, but we warned, they're heavy on the OJ"

"Love going here but wish they had a coffee shop in the store. The chairs are too easy to sink onto. Love going, being surrounded by books. Free wifi spot!!"

"Perfect place to go for a run; 3.1 miles around, or 5k. Good people watching and great views of Minneapolis. Renting a kayak or canoe is great fun as well"
