Rustica Bakery & Cafe

It’s the American version of the Korean bakery. Everything is fattening and slightly disappointing or if you call disgusting to eat. Rustica has been around for a while but they kind of stopped doing their hand made pastries that are least there was a concept behind it. It’s like the Lunds & Byerlys model these days. Maybe that’s who owns it and use a different name. It’s a great location next to Southdale mall but the place is busy so this might all make sense. It’s like a Coffeeshop with pastries and cookies or sweets. I would only go here if I’m desperate. It’s like a more beefed up Starbucks.

It's busy, and finding a place to sit might be hard. But I like the atmosphere of this place. If you want a modern place different from Starbucks, here it is. Coffee is good. I have tried their scones and wasn't a big fan. Their danishes were good.

As a former pastry chef who loved making laminated doughs, Rustica is my favorite for a good Danish or croissant. The lattes are well made, I appreciate that they are full and flavor without being overly sweet. Easy locations to get to in the Minneapolis area.

First time dining in here. The Chai Latte was good & ginger cookies. Their strawberry scone wasn't as good, very dry & crumbly. The Jinx Tea wasn't very sweet. The service was great & quick.

Don’t come after 3 o’clock. Their inventory management is designed so that they do not have food after 3 o’clock. Their shelves are empty. Nor do the workers seem to care about the customer experience. Pricing is atrocious. I understand high prices right now, but this place seems to price as if their products are gold plated. The space is also very loud and difficult to do any work or have meetings. Many better coffee shops in the area to choose from.

This place is a one stop shop for desserts, coffee, and pastries with a splash of modern decor and plants. The coffee is good, an if you're into super fresh avocado toast without the fixings, this is the place. It's conveniently attached to a mall as well.

Great place for breakfast! Espresso drinks are excellent and pastries are fresh. Lots of variety. Service is awesome too. Lots of tables for doing some reading/work while enjoying the coffee here. Highly recommended.

When we walked inside we saw a fly inside where they keep the food i did not mind it as it looks like a fruit fly, im not really bothered by it but when we got to our seat I saw one small mice ran across the floor and that ruin the place for me. The coffee was good though and the chocolate croissant is good too.
