Truffles & Tortes Dessert Cafe

We love Truffles and Tortes! I usually come in for their amazing wild rice soup and a dessert, but this time I grabbed their cranberry turkey sandwich and that was so yummy too! The service was fantastic even as it was super busy over the lunch out. Lastly the pumpkin cheesecake was to die for!!

Bakery crafts delicious croissants, and serve delicious cakes. Very moist and tasty chocolate mouses. The cafe has a friendly and efficient service, and very charming and clean atmosphere. Very good service. Aleece was very helpful and very nice. Would recommend going.

An amazing stop for a sweet treat! Or for one of their sandwich, soup, or salads. Their tortes are amazing and they have so many flavors! Their scones and other desserts are so soft, moist, and fresh. I got the Bailey's Torte and it was incredible. The orange cramberry scone was super super soft. Such friendly staff. Great coffee. Definitely a busy place, but fast service with how busy they can get. If you want items to go, they'll pack it in a nice box for you.

I really loved this cafe. It's small and comfortable. It wasn't super crowded. The sweets were very delicious! and I loved my Chai latte tea!! My husband had an espresso. It wasn't thick like he likes, and he said it was a lot...more than he's used to, but he was happy. I had a blueberry lemon scone, and he had the chocolate croissant. My scone was amazing. His croissant was very fresh and yummy. The people were very helpful and friendly, and even the customers were super nice. We also bought a molasses ginger cookie which tasted nice. It was different.

So many delicious treats to choose from. They also had soups, sandwiches, quiche, coffee and more. The “concerto” chocolate caramel treat was a delicious mouse filled dessert. Highly recommend! The space is kind of small, if you go at a busy time, may be better to get the treats to go. But they are so pretty and tasty! Parking: street parking

This place is a gem! If you're in the area, I highly recommend you try it out. The service was fast, food selection is amazingly mouth-watering and everything is visually appealing--very chic and quaint . Prices are very reasonable. My partner and I got a croissant, a lemon blueberry scone, a matcha latte, a water, and the torte of the day for $18. Will keep coming back!

The atmosphere is very quaint. Super cute Cafe and staff is friendly. Unfortunately, I ended up with hair in one of the desserts I bought. For the price I paid, it was pretty disappointing since I had to throw it away. I also noticed how the desserts were very similar to a bakery in the Edina area called Patrick's. So, I'm not sure if they are buying from the same vendor or if these types of desserts are just popular in MN.

I can't speak to their deserts (yet), but don't sleep on their breakfast and lunch offerings! Last week, I had the breakfast croissant sandwich, and today I ordered the caprese sandwich. The bread on the caprese is amazing!

This is absolutely a new favorite lunch spot! Met a friend on a rainy day in May and had the best lunch out I've had in quite a while. I ordered half a dilled egg salad sandwich on multi-grain bread and a cup of one of the soups of the day- chicken Thai. Added an Americano with cream to finish my order and it was all a tasty delight! There was a lull when I came in- so I got right up the counter, but when they got busy- there was a line to order- although they kept it moving well. The tables feel a bit crowded, but it added to the cozy feel. There were a group of college gals, tables of couples, ladies who lunch, and next to me a wedding planner meeting with her customer couple. I was full from the sandwich and soup, but the case filled with AMAZING looking desserts was calling to me and I will definitely be back for lunch- and to sample some pastries!

We had coffees and and took home some baked goods. Everything tasted great. The service was very good and timely. Great selection of baked goodies.

We was in town for a basketball tournament and needed something to hold us down until lunch. It's a nice little place and prices was fair. The pastries and deserts look delectable. Roast beef sandwich with the 9 grain bread was filling and tasty. The cannoli was delicious. Great customer service and ambiance was very warming for this cold day.

Had quiche Lorraine and pozole soup for lunch. Perfection! I can't wait to come back. Vey busy!!!!! Very crowded with "ladies who lunch". Food was great and the dessert s looked divine! Most our group got ones to go for later in the afternoon. Street parking, and a fun place to walk around. Go to the counter to order, you'll get a number then get a seat Not a lot of children friendly foods beyond grilled cheese and a cookie.

Absolutely divine. The desserts they craft here are SO good!!! We moved out of state from 2013-2024 and day dreamed about the desserts here the entire time we were gone. Sheer joy to discover that they are still open! Still great service, super cute dessert cafes that also serves amazing food. It's SO nice when something is as good-or even better than you remembered when you get to have it again!! Our favorites are the little mousse cakes, but last visit we also grabbed a coconut tart that was out of this world amazing too!

I go to Truffle and Tort anytime I can. Such good desserts but also lots of delicious soups salads and sandwiches. Also we get Quiche Lorraine for the next day breakfast because it's so good and warms up beautifully. My granddaughters love going for lunch. I have taken them there for years. My granddaughter even had a very large cake from there for graduation. It was a hit. It's also my go to place for bringing birthday cakes for friends and relatives. Always excellent. Actually getting my husband 80th birthday cake there later this month!

This place is amazing, delicious and delicatessen pastries and truffles, I recommend it for any time to enjoy a coffee with pastries

I took my two neices here. We had a wonderful time! The canolis were literally the best i have ever tasted in my life.

What a fun spot in Anoka! We had just watched the Gopher game at a bar and were in the mood for a sweet treat. Saw this place from main street and wandered in. They had the most beautiful case of desserts, and the inside felt very vintage Parisian. It was hard to decide what to get but we opted for the Raspberry torte. The coffee also looked fantastic, but we noticed they were backed up on orders so we just went with the dessert. Only weird thing was that they didn't just grab it from the case and give it to us. They gave us a number and had us stay seated at a table to bring it out. It was a busy day and they seemed understaffed - so just an odd choice. We got our dessert in about 5-10 minutes and we scarfed it down in less than one. Absolutely delicious, and I'll be back if I'm in the area!

Seriously one of the best little cafes in the state! Their desserts are always divine (you MUST try the passion fruit tart - OMG), and their food is always amazing! My personal favorite is their hot roast beef. My god I could eat it every day. The prices definitely are a little steep but with how quaint, high quality, and delicious everything is I can't complain! And I'm always willing to support a small business this good! The staff are always lovely, and the place is always so well kept and clean. If you're ever passing in anoka, PLEASE don't skip out on giving this place a try!

What a treat...literally! Pumpkin spice latte with a soup and sandwich. Perfect for a cool late morning And the deserts look amazing

First time coming here and I'm so glad I did! We got the pecan cinnamon roll and it's exactly what you want. They also warmed it up. The concerto was recommended so we got that and it did not disappoint. Creamy, decadent, sweet.

I visited this café at the worst possible time-- 11am on Anoka's Halloween Parade day on October 28th, 2023. Despite this, there was no delay in service and the café's team worked very well through the hustle and bustle. My top complaint is they do not post the price of their pastries/cakes. This has always been a red flag for me since the consumer doesn't know what they're getting into until they discover it at the register. It makes things unnecessarily difficult for those who are on a budget. I ordered their daily special, chicken pot pie (which also did not have its price listed. It was very good and cooked well. The salad with the vinaigrette was a good touch. I got a lemon poppyseed scone (very dry and not a lot of taste) and the concerto cake (very good, not too sweet) to go. Some important things to note before visiting is this place is not very big, has few tables (not good for large groups, 1-4 people is ideal), and it gets congested quickly around the counter since there isn't enough space for people to order/wait/get in line to order/wait to use the bathroom. It's all in one area and that area is small. Bathroom was clean and spacious (only one toilet). Parking is free on-street.

I came here to pick up lunch to go for the first time the other day. This has been on my list of places to try for a while, and I had the time so I figured let's do it! It was pretty busy when I went in. A good sign that it's so popular, right? The downside to that is this is a place that's not really built to handle a lot of people. It's a small space and where it may have been going for a cozy vibe, to me it felt very claustrophobic and anxiety inducing. There is nowhere to wait if you're taking food to go that's not right up against someone's table and it's awkward to just be standing right in someone's space when they're trying to enjoy a meal. They even have a table right against the wall by the dessert counter, which was really the only place that felt appropriate to stand and wait for my order. But, it was occupied, so again, not very comfortable for me or I'm sure for the people trying to eat and have a conversation. I just don't really see the point in having this one table shoved into a weird place rather than having a place for people to wait for their order. There were just too many tables crammed into a small space and there wasn't much room to move, and really nowhere to stand where you didn't feel like you were in someone's personal space. Anyway, I got in line and placed my order for a turkey ciabatta and a couple dessert items to go. A few minutes after I placed my order, I was called back up to the counter because they were out of turkey, and chicken. I was kind of surprised that this wasn't something that was known when I was placing my order since it was kind of a major ingredient and both were prominently featured in many menu items, but I went ahead and chose ham instead (the other option was roast beef). Had I known this before I placed my order, I would have gotten something else or just went somewhere else entirely. I don't have any dietary restrictions, but this would be frustrating for people who can't have pork or red meat. The staff at the counter seemed a little overwhelmed. It took quite a while for my order to come out. Thankfully a table cleared while I was waiting so I was able to sit down and feel a little less awkward milling around and trying not to be in anyone's way while I was waiting. I finally got my food and brought it back to work. The sandwich was good, I did enjoy it. However, I wouldn't say it was worth the $10.99 price tag. I've been to other cafes where I could spend the same amount and get a side and/or a drink with it. The desserts were very good. I really enjoyed them, they were crafted well and tasted just as good as they looked. Again, everything felt a little overpriced though. The two small desserts (a rumba and a chocolate nirvana) and the sandwich cost about $24 before tip, and one of the desserts was even discounted by 25%. Bottom line is the food was fine, the desserts were really good, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable for me. I would not come back here for dine in service or food. I'd consider coming back to pick up a dessert to go as long as I could be in and out relatively quickly. I understand wanting to fit as many customers as possible into a spade to reduce having to make people wait and increase sales, and some people aren't going to mind that at all. For me though, it just wasn't a very comfortable. Between that and the surprising lack of main ingredients, it detracted from the overall experience for me. I am sympathetic to the fact that there are issues with staffing and supply chains industry wide. I will say this is the first time I've encountered two major components of meals being unavailable without staff being aware before I placed my order. Hopefully this is not a regular thing and I just came on a bad day.

One of the cutest dessert spots fosure! Great stop to make if you're visiting Anoka! @trufflesandtortes We had the Nirvana and a cold brew with Irish cream and a big thumbs up! The Nirvana is a gluten free option with crème brûlée in it

Desserts are yummy and lunches are homemade!! Would love to get a custom cake!!!! Wish my wife would bring home more stuff

I was driving by and exploring when I saw the magic word dessert. I something mediately since street parking is free for two hours yet went in when you get mask and I freaked out everybody with my mask with my ordering. Mettal Ave cold. I sat outside to drink it. Street is loud of course however there was a cool breeze and plenty of tourists walking by billions I said like I am on the Champs Elysées in Paris (well maybe I have amplified my feelings but after the pandemic everything is amplified). Customers and staff looked classy to me: maybe they wanted to fit the decoration of the place. I will have to come back with some friends to try more items.

The 8-inch double chocolate cake they made for my 16-year-old's birthday was amazing!!! She absolutely loved it and can't wait to order more from them in the future! Also extremely friendly and awesome customer service!!!

I stopped in this cute little shop on the last day of my husband's training. We got a Nirvana and Chocolate Decadence. By far the best desserts we have ever had! The Nirvanas cream was perfectly light and smooth with a perfect cake at the bottom. The chocolate decadence was thick creamy chocolate with just the right crunch. Literally 10/10!

What the heck happened to this place? I realize a lot of places had to change never again to be what they were pre-pandemic but this place is ridiculous. The quality and selection just isn't there anymore. Another gripe; why don't they post the prices of the pastries in the showcase? They are an eye popping $6.50 EACH!!! Not affordable to treat the family anymore. Bye bye.

We had a chicken wrap, wild rice soup and there berry organic signature salad with added grilled chicken was delicious !!! It was super busy took only about 15 minutes to get a seat even though it's not a large area for seating . Efficient service ... really great lunch with my daughter ... Drinks were supper yummy iced latte not sure what she ordered but maybe mocha

I have been wanting to come here for such a long time, and it finally happened! It did not disappoint. The place itself is not very big, but there is a decent amount of seating for people who want to sit down and enjoy their treats. My boyfriend and I came here on a mission for caffeine and sweets. We both got one of their specialty mochas and got a baileys cake dessert. Everything was amazing. The espresso was smooth and the drinks were flavored just right. The cake was so yummy and just perfect for two people to split. We also brought home the Andes mint cake thing and their heart shaped chocolate torte. Those were also so so so good and the torte was very rich! Overall this place is awesome. The sweets are delicious, a little pricey but well worth it. I can't wait to come back and try their lunch menu and to get some sweets!

We love their chocolate deserts. Great place to go for a lovely quiche or sandwich. They also serve a variety of coffee and hot chocolate drinks. It can be a quiet place to have a nice conversation and relax.

Great service always! Great food hands down! Pear salad is my favorite !!! But soups , sandwiches, and of course, you can't leave without trying out a dessert (or two)

I hired them to make the desserts and cake for my daughter's 15th birthday. Everything was extremely delicious and not overly sweet ! All of our guests enjoyed the desserts and even came for seconds and thirds. I highly recommend Truffles and Tortes to anyone searching for and want yummy desserts!

Great blueberry raspberry scone. This is a place that makes you want to buy everything under the glass. It all just looks so good.

Got some cakes as gift and they all taste so yummy! My favorite is the one that looks like red velvet. I don't know the name of it? Everything is so moist and not overly sweet, it's just

I've stopped in numerous times for the delicious pastries and have always loved what I've eaten. So I had them do a cake for my niece's baby shower. The theme was cutie - like the tangerines - so they made a delicious almond cake with tangerine icing and candied tangerines for decor. On the side, they made up little bite sized tangerine tortes. Everything was such a hit, everyone loved it!

A favorite of ours! The food and coffees are yummy, and the desserts are simply delightful!

If you need a fancy dessert, check this place out! Every thing is delicious! Very cozy, small town feel! The employees are awesome and so helpful!

No matter what the occasion, truffles and tortes does not disappoint. The ambiance is amazing. The variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups! However don't get me started on the desserts they are all amazing!

Delicious desserts and great spot. The staff was not too sure how to make a cortado despite it being on the menu... In short, not a spot for a coffee connoisseur, but still great food. Cozy!

If you're looking for high quality, this is your place! We've had nearly all of their tortes and each was equally as good, if not better than the last! I'm a chocolate lover, this place does not disappoint!

Busy busy good food small shop nice workers Need a little more attention to detail during rushes

A simply delightful, lovely cafe! My friends and I had a delicious lunch here and we each took home a couple different desserts to try. We came in from the rain outside to the warm and intimate space inside Truffles and Tortes. The few times I've come here I find myself just standing in front of the counter ogling the incredible looking desserts. Unlike some confections that look stunning but disappoint in flavor, the sweets here give you the best of both worlds. Somewhat pricey, but worth the splurge if you are around Main Street, Anoka. (Hot) Roast Beef Sandwich with provolone and roasted red peppers- Very good flavor combination! The beef was tender and juicy, the bread was absolutely perfect. Chicken Wild Rice Soup- came with oyster crackers and I highly recommend trying it! Desserts- Andes Mint Rumba and the award winning Caramel chocolate dome (forgot the actual name) were both incredible and I would definitely get again. Texture and flavor of the chocolate cake and filling inside are amazing. There is street and free 3hr lot parking nearby. Limited seating and space to stand in line. The menu is written on their main chalkboard behind the counter but I appreciated that they had laminated copies of their food menu available as it was much easier to read. Service was prompt and helpful.

I go here for the tortes. Every year for my birthday I splurge on one for myself. They are beautiful and extremely delicious...worth every cent!

Adorable little place to stop for lunch or a sweet treat with friends and family! Beautifully decorated on the inside with a few tables and a gorgeous mural painted on the wall. We were told by staff that a (former?) employee painted it -wow! Their lunch offerings include homemade soups, salads and sandwiches with different sides. They have advertised several gluten free lunch options the times I have visited, as well, which allows my sister to join me. I have enjoyed every soup I've had as well as the egg salad sandwich. My sister liked the salads. The hand-crafted beverages have been delicious! I love that you can get a chai latte, salad and a sweet all in one adorable spot. And finally, dessert. Seriously delicious options. The truffles are perfectly sweet and a great size. The tortes are gorgeous and delicious. I love grabbing sweets here to bring as birthday gifts or for a ladies' night. So many sweet shops to check out in Minnesota, and this should make your list!

The pastries, chocolates, and cakes taste wonderful! The food is also beautiful. I enjoy looking at the food. They're edible works of art - amazing! The customer service is also top notch. My only gripe about T & T is that the shop is really small and this creates headaches when it's busy, like during lunch time. There really isn't room to form a line. But you NEED to make a line when it's busy. And you have to walk to the back of the store to get to the back of the line. And the store is the size of a shoe box. My wife and I went there for lunch (as new customers) and there was a huge line...and empty tables. The first thing we did was sit at a table, and my wife and I were promptly scolded by the manager for not waiting in line. This was super embarrassing since there were a ton of people crammed in there, looking at us like we were idiots for not suffering in line before being rewarded with a table. Ooops...we thought empty table meant: "sit". These guys should probably multiply the square footage by four or five times to make this place really welcoming and comfortable. Hans', down the road, is a good example of how a bakery can do this well with a large seating area and plenty of room to form lines. Thumbs up for T & T! But avoid them at all costs during busy times. It's a total pain in the ass when it's busy. -Daddy Maxx Retro

The food was excellent, but service was poor. Brought our food, husband ordered a salad, no fork, no napkins. Asked for our two iced teas, brought them. No ice, no lemon. Asked for ice, didn't bring it. Asked for refund on the drinks. Poor attitude of server.

This place has what Swedish Crown doesn't, so you need to hit both. They have 6 versions of 3 bite truffles. Tiny but that's okay. My favorite had booze in it. I loved the unique slices of cake very soft yet firm, frosting is firm too. My favorite was the plain white. This is where you want to meet up with a friend. It's quiet and intimate. They have a few kinds of quiche. A nice, dainty experience. Can't wait to go back to have lunch here.

We stopped in on a rainy Saturday in downtown Anoka. We were greeted by some tempting-looking chocolate truffles and other desserts. I thought, okay, this is a dessert place. I didn't have high expectations for my lunch. Most quiches you have at places like this are warmed-over, dry, and heavy. How very wrong I was. I agree with many of the other people here: really, the closest I've ever had to a perfect quiche. The eggs were extremely light, yet moist, with just a bit of black pepper. It's almost as if they sprayed the egg in there with a whipped cream can. While a lot of quiches are heavy on the cheese, my quiche had subtle, not overpowering Asiago cheese. And the crust was somehow just firm enough to hold up the egg, asparagus, and ham but delightfully thin and flavorful. It was impossibly light, and yet filling. I also ordered a Hungarian mushroom soup, which had a nice rich broth and tender mushrooms. I think they might have cooked the mushrooms a bit more slowly to get in more of the flavor, but in any case a very good soup and much better than you get at most lunch places, let alone a dessert place. We had to bring back a piece of torte. I would have wanted the flourless 3-chocolate torte, but my husband selected a chocolate layer torte topped with the largest raspberries we've ever seen. The chocolate cake was moist, and not too sweet, complemented with a whipped cream frosting. And the chocolate outer frosting was incredible. It's a good thing this place is not close to our house, for otherwise I would be tempted to go there every week. It was a nicely balanced, not-too-showy or fattening cake. The decor was a bright blend of old and new. Drilled into the tin ceiling were matching electric chandeliers that might have been from the 1970s. Some newfangled dark stained shelves held up a spare assortment of knicknacks. On one wall was an evocative mural of a European-style scene, an old building and a bridge adorned with pegasus and water goddess statues. A small sign helpfully directs you to form a line to the left of the register, right where you can see those desserts. It's a nice spot to relax and enjoy some light food or not-so-light dessert. If we're back in Anoka, we're definitely going to try another dessert!

Love the desserts but i hate the location of the place. If ur lucky, you'll find a close parking space. The workers are also very kind, they were very helpful. Its not very roomy and crowded inside, we had to wait for others to come out so we can go in. The price is alright, i got 7 items for $47. The desserts is a little too sweet for me but i guess my daughter likes it so it works. Will come back for some more fruit tart.

Met a girlfriend here for lunch. Small skinny room like a coffee shop, but cozy and nicely decorated. I had the veggie quiche and tomato soup. Great flavors and the perfect portion to save room for dessert! I am a cake fan and most of the beautiful desserts are mousse with a tiny cake layer. That's why I opted for the red velvet cake with a layer of cheesecake in the middle. More cake... It was big enough for two full pieces if you cut it in half and wanted to share. ;) After seeing the photo another yelper posted of the peanut butter cake, I really want to try that! The two ladies working seemed like the owners. They were kind and attentive. I would love to go back in the spring and walk though cute Anoka Main Street to shop and eat here again.

Oh man oh man oh man! Thanks for making my birthday beautifully delicious with your gorgeous desserts! My co-workers surprised me this afternoon with an array of treats almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Pretty or not, it had to be done... I dug into my raspberry-topped cheesecake with the cookie crust and was in birthday heaven. There wasn't a crumb left on anyone's plate!

Yup. Definitely recommend this place. What a little jewel of a place in a cute little area in downtown Anoka. They had about 5-6 flavors of these little cakes to choose from and of course I deliberated for a while between the caramel chocolate one and the Bailey's chocolate one but went with the Bailey's. Delicious! Could have had a better cake-to-filling ratio (there was very little cake inside, mostly filling). They also had scones and a bunch of delicious looking truffles. The girls working were helpful and friendly.

This place is the bomb diggity of places to go for tasty treats. Several times a year the hubs will surprise me with a tasty little mini cake from T&T, and I squeal with delight every time I see a white box waiting for me in the fridge! I've had several of them, but my favorite is the Concerto (the only one I know the name of too, hah). You will recognize it as the chocolate dome with gold leaf on top. 90% of the time hubs goes to the shop in Plymouth, since it is just down the street from his work. Recently though, my bestie + her hubs came out to visit and celebrate her first wedding anniversary with us and she wanted a small, peanut butter cup flavored cake (to match their wedding cake). I suggested T&T, and she ordered from the Anoka location (closer to our house). We were in and out of the shop pretty quick on pick-up, so I'll leave the description of the inside to other reviewers. I will comment that I think it took longer than it should have to pick up the cake and box up a few cannolis that we picked out from the display. Now, this PB&C cake, OMG. I am generally not a fan of that flavor combo (sad, I know), but this cake, wow. It was moist, chocolatey, creamy, peanut buttery, deliciousness. The 4 of us slayed that sucker, and the bestie even kept a slice in a tupperware to eat on the plane home. I was jelly she didn't leave any with us! While they're not a far drive from us I refuse to make them a regular stop, only because I'd be there every week, and I don't want to look like I go there every week. Besides, leaving it as a special occasion place means I won't get bored of my favorite torte! I think perhaps I will order a cake from there for our next anniversary :)

This place is a gem, and Anoka is lucky to have it! It is the perfect place to meet with a friend, buy a special birthday gift, or bring something fabulous to coworkers! I have bought tortes for many people here, and they have all fallen in love. They are not just great tasting- but absolutely beautiful desserts. I even get specialty desserts from here, to thank my children's teachers!

This place is my weakness! Over the summer I worked down the street from here and found myself walking over to get coffee, desserts, or lunch. The Nirvana, Chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie, and wild rice soup are my favorites and a must-try.

Although T+T is supposed to be open until 7, they closed at 6 on this blustery night. How I craved a slice of chocolate torte! My temptress, dear proprietor, how my heart yearned as you closed your register and locked the door. We, the forlorn, stood listless at your door. Peering into the bright of your cafe, like sunshine to a prisoner, made our hearts bleed red deeper than any #40 that's colored your sweet confections. Alas, I was left to starve on the mean streets of Anoka. This place has great soups, quiche, desserts, and small fare. If only they were open in my time of need, my darkest hour if despair.
