St. Anthony Starbucks Is Latest Minnesota Location to Join Unionization Wave - Eater Twin Cities

"The Star Tribune reports that Shawn McKenzie, co-owner of Café Cerés and one of the Twin Cities’ most lauded pastry chefs, will join Rustica Bakery as executive chef. McKenzie is a Portland transplant who got her start leading the pastry program at three of Isaac Becker’s restaurants: Burch Steak and Pizza, 112 Eatery, and Bar La Grasa. From there, she ran Penny’s, a small chain of cafés and coffee shops, and then opened Café Cerés in partnership with chef Danny del Prado (of trio Martina, Colita, and Rosalia). Café Cerés’ menu is influenced by McKenzie’s culinary travels through the Middle East: she’s known for her babka and tahini carrot cake, among other things. Rustica’s bakery has been in flux during the pandemic: after a brief partnership with Bread Lab, owner Greg Hoyt closed down wholesale production. McKenzie’s presence in Rustica’s bakery means increased capacity for Café Cerés — and look for more of her flair among Rustica’s classic croissants and muffins." - Justine Jones

The Best Treats for Morning Office Meetings in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"With craggy, sugar-crusted tops and crisp, burnished edges, the scones at Rustica always hit the perfect balance of buttery layers and hefty mix-ins. The excellent, classic English currant is always available, but the daily specials are the way to go: particularly Tuesday’s chocolate ginger, a dark chocolate dough studded with sparkling bits of candied ginger and Friday’s lemon poppyseed." - Julie Yu

Rustica Coffee and Bakery is a great spot to start the day. The artisanal bread is incredibly delicious, and the pour over coffee is freshly made and well-prepared. Highly recommended for a quality breakfast experience.

The service was excellent, and so was the atmosphere. However, I tried several desserts and thought they were overly sweet. I don't understand why a turkey club sandwich tasted sweet and had syrup/honey on it. Their latte also was very sweet. I didn't like it and wish they would provide healthier options.

I only had their coffee, which was quite good. They offer a wide variety of baked goods, all nicely showcased. The place was busy, but customers seemed considerate and didn’t linger too long. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, though a bit loud due to the many conversations. I’ll definitely be back—hopefully to try some of those baked goods next time.

The pastries are in a class of their own. Went when they had an apricot pistachio danish and it absolutely knocked my socks off; the perfect balance of tart and nutty. Truly inspired and feel fortunate to have them in the area 🥹

Among a dozen or so variety of bakery items they have, their Three Cheese Danish is so tasty and my favorite. The earthy tone interior creates a comfortable atmosphere and makes it ideal to work on your laptop for a couple of hours. Not to expect a good view as it faces a parking lot, yet they have a spacious outdoor seating available to relax.

I love to stop here when I'm nearby. The bittersweet cookies are beyond delicious. Their coffee drinks have a more mild flavor, but the ingredients are high quality. The store has lots of tables and seating, though it's tight for standing space if you're opting for to-go. The staff are kind and quick.

It's an amazing experience and never regret of visiting. It was a busy Saturday, however the team are working hard to clear the line. Those breads are absolutely delicious 😋. I got the blueberry latte coffee, it was a little bitter for me but it's in the morning so it's just perfect for me. I also got pear yuzu danish and WOW. The cream is delicious, the bread was crispy and soft inside. 10/10.

Nice place with great bread and drinks. My family and I have been customers for years and never once have I had a bad experience. The service is great and staff are always super friendly. Plus the location is perfect with the lakes and fun activities nearby. Parking is easy with a giant lot (and free obviously). The only drawback which really isn’t one is everything sells out fast so make sure you get there early or you will have limited options. Oh and I wouldn’t recommend the canelé.
