Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Star Tribune. Updated July 2026.
Marc Heu Patisserie Paris · Cathedral Hill
Marc Heu Pâtisserie Paris applies classical French technique to vivid flavors and meticulous presentation at its Cathedral Hill shop. Minnesota Star Tribune's bakery guide points to the passion fruit tart, where sharp tropical fruit meets a polished pastry shell. The St. Paul address pins the original location now that the bakery also operates in Minneapolis.
Patisserie 46 · Kingfield
Patisserie 46 fills its Grand Avenue cases with croissants, breads, cakes, macarons, and detailed seasonal pastries. Minnesota Star Tribune's bakery guide singles out an éclair inspired by Peach Melba, combining fruit with basil mascarpone cream. The Kingfield storefront remains the bakery's single location and a dependable stop for both everyday loaves and composed desserts.
Sarah Jane's Bakery · Northeast Minneapolis
Sarah Jane's Bakery is a family-owned Northeast shop with a deep neighborhood history and a broad case of doughnuts, bars, cookies, cakes, and pies. Minnesota Star Tribune's bakery guide emphasizes its seasonal pies and balanced fillings. The Johnson Street storefront keeps the experience grounded in a traditional retail bakery rather than a polished dessert boutique.
Black Walnut Bakery · Uptown
Black Walnut Bakery centers laminated dough at its Hennepin Avenue storefront, producing croissants, morning buns, cookies, and changing savory pastries. Minnesota Star Tribune's guide highlights the croissant bread, which gives a familiar loaf the layered pull of viennoiserie. The shop's compact Uptown counter makes close attention to technique visible in an approachable neighborhood format.
Rustica · Uptown
Rustica Bakery is known for naturally leavened breads, bittersweet chocolate cookies, and a pastry case built for repeat visits. Minnesota Star Tribune's bakery guide includes the Minneapolis shop among the region's enduring bakeries. Rustica still serves Dogwood coffee, but this entry represents the bakery itself and should not be mistaken for the former Dogwood cafe identity at this address.
