Dahlia

Definitely some of the top pastries in the area! They have a lot of fun specials every week, love the sourdough croissants but specifically the Grilled Sweet Corn Pound Cake one. Kouign Amanns are definitely some of the best I’ve had. Easy online preordering system and I like that they pop up in different places around the cities. So so worth checking them out.

Ive been a regular visitor of the pop-ups since October and plan to keep on going! I’ve eaten some of my all-time favorite pastries from Dahlia. I’ve enjoyed their pumpkin cake and banana cake when I don’t like pumpkin or banana! The flavor combinations are amazing and I look forward to their menu drops every Wednesday! 1000% worth ordering every time.

Really incredible pastries! I attended one of their pop-ups and was extremely impressed. The two pastries I tried (a pumpkin spice coffee donut and banana caramel croissant cinnamon roll) were genuinely some of the best desserts I've ever had, just totally excellent textures and flavor combinations. Their pop up model is really neat and it's fun to catch them at different locations. I highly recommend checking out Dahlia for some exquisite pastries, I know I will certainly be back soon!

Visited their pop-up for the first time and was floored by the quality. Got a strawberry paris brest, twice baked rhubarb pistachio croissant, bagels and schmear and their picnic sandwich. All were fantastic—the best I’ve had in the Twin Cities. The paris brest was my favorite. It tasted like a strawberry milkshake in the best way.

Amazing baked goods, truly talented bakers. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, it is all delicious. I also ordered a birthday cake last year, which was one of the prettiest and most unique cakes I’ve ever seen, and tasted amazing! Stop by any of their pop-ups, you won’t be disappointed!

I have gone to two of their pop-ups, one in April and one this past weekend, both at Wild Grind coffee. The first one I preordered for and got quite a few items including their Lemon Mascarpone Croissant and a Paris Brest. They were incredible. This past weekend I went on a whim and was lucky to get a caramel morning bun and a key lime croissant. The staff was so kind and the wait was nothing considering the line. Both were again incredible and seriously just perfect. The caramel morning bun just might be one of the best pastries I have ever had. I look forward to trying much more in the future and cannot recommend this enough.

I’ve enjoyed this baker’s goods from the COVID Pig Ate My Pizza days and finally caved, recently making the treks across town to taste these fabulous baked goods again. I’ve always wondered if there was a bakery out there that creates unconventional twists or fuses some bonker flavors together for their baked goods. Dahlia makes those baked dreams come true and I’m so glad we get to taste those delicious risks on the weekly. Now I only wish they came back to the northwest for pop ups or have a 2nd outpost in the northwest after they get their brick and mortar in Minneapolis going! Dream Standouts: Chimichurri Potato Salad-hands down best potato salad and an umami banger. Still dreaming of it. Mango Sago-Filled Cruffin- coconut tapioca pudding with mango in a croissant muffin. My taste buds say genius.

Dahlia is such a special pop-up bakery that provides creative and delicious treats regularly across the Metro area. We are always excited to see those new menus on Instagram and email. My experience with Dahlia, however, begins with their cakes. When we were planning our June wedding, we were struggling to find a cutting cake for our dessert table that was reasonably sized and priced, while still being delicious and on theme for our vintage garden party celebration. Dahlia provided all four. While Dahlia doesn't offer a sampler (totally understandable for the ultra seasonal menu and small team), the cakes are so reasonably priced that we ordered a small banana creme brulee cake for our annual Friendsgiving celebration. We and our guests were blown away by the decoration and (most importantly) the taste. It was a no brainer to move forward with them for our wedding. Dahlia was super flexible with us to get our wedding cake ordered (a perfect strawberry rhubarb for June) and great partners to deliver the beautiful centerpiece we imagined.

Edit: this is a combo if times I've been to dahlia, not one specific time. Omggg, why have I waited so long to try Dahlia!! Well because I'm lazy in the morning... Finally made it to Dahlia to try some pastries. I choose salted Carmel sweet corn danish and the sour cherry and cream cheese swirl. I was very interested in the corn and salted Carmel combo and i love cherries. I've also tried the BLT Danish. First off, all pastries were huge and filling. The cherry cream danish was my fave and I look forward to the cherry bush I just planted! The salted corn and Carmel danish was also executed well, the perfect ratio to corn, salted Carmel and danish! The BLT danish - The instagram post noted the consumer to "trust us" regarding the silly lettuce cream. Of course I would trust Dahlia and I'm glad I did! again, the ratios of this pastry were perfect. You can tell the head pastry chef really had a knack for this. I recommend Dahlia because the service is always great, the people who check you out are always so kind and happy to be sharing their gift.

I'm not sure if Dahlia is ever going to go brick and mortar at this point, but I'll continue to stalk their pop-ups for as long as they're doing them. Which is pretty high praise for someone without much of a sweet tooth. Since sugar isn't really my jam, I generally lean towards the savory side of Dahlia's offerings, for which there are often many creative choices. Favorites have included a brisket croissant, a kimchi, bacon and cheese danish, a Bloody Mary inspired croissant, among other off-the-wall-but-it-works offerings. You can find where they'll be via their socials and website - the fact that they've started letting you pre-order is a welcome change, as they have become quite popular and I'm not interested in waiting on a long line to maybe get a confection I've had my eyes on. They are on the spendy side for baked goods (and even more so for pantry items like bagels and muffins), but the value proposition remains strong.

Definitely some of the top pastries in the area! They have a lot of fun specials every week. Easy online preordering system and I like that they pop up in different places around the cities. So so worth checking them out.

I went to pre-ordered their pastries for one of their pop up and it was the best decision ever. I got a sweet and a savory options and it was one of the best combo ever! The pre-order service was quick and easy. All I had to do was just pick up the items at their location. I like that they post their menus and photos of the food for their pop ups. I will definitely order from them again!
