"Rose Street Patisserie’s desserts are a popular and welcome sight on celebratory occasions, but at the cafe on Selby Avenue and Snelling Avenue, it’s about more than pastry. While a rainbow of tarts, eclairs, and cakes are always available in the gleaming glass cases at the front of the store, there is also a concise menu of soups, salads, and sandwiches, many of which are served on chef-owner John Kraus’s famous croissants, flaky and burnished bronze. For those looking for something besides pastry for dessert, the cafe also offers a diverse selection of gelatos and sorbets." - Julie Yu
