Turtle Bread

Big open energy. Casual corner cafe and bakery. Lovely local spot with amazing bread, soups and a few good breakfast options. My move is to grab a wedge of cheese at the first display by the door (usually Cotswold), order a soup no matter what (usually tomato or potato based, but they're all good) and if I'm hungry - get the turtle breakfast (which is a huge portion and will definitely fill you up by itself but is so tasty and fun to mix with the soup and cheese). Side note: if you ever see the mushroom lovers pasta salad in the deli display it's amazing and you should get it. They also keep all their condiments, butters, jams, sauces, salt, pepper, water and coffee and Togo containers out in the dining area so you can get as much or as little as you want without having to wait for or bother anyone. It's important to know that soups are usually ready around 11:00am and that the chocolate loaf is only available on the weekends.

Turtle bread is the cutest place ever. My mom used to take me here as a kid, and it’s still great. This place doesn’t feel like a restaurant that is too upscale or too buffet-like, it feels welcoming. The food was very comforting, and atmosphere is wonderful. The pastries are good, me and my mom got the pecan cinnamon roll, and for breakfast we got the asparagus frittata and the breakfast burrito. Very delicious. I will say, we went pretty early in the morning, and I’m glad we did because it started getting really busy and loud in the restaurant around 10am, though expected for a Saturday. Overall, If you’re strolling through town and you want a place to eat a good breakfast while waking up, Id suggest this place to go on weekdays or early mornings.

Had a fabulous Ruben there in 2023 the 2024 Ruben was so disappointing. Probably half the sandwich that I got last Year. Hope you return to your previous glory.

Got an americano, could barely taste the espresso because they put so much water in it. It was also piping hot. To the point where I couldn't hold the cup, even through the cardboard sleeve. The bakes good are top tier

I live near turtle bread and think it's a great local spot - unfortunately their menu choices limit me from being able to visit more frequently. They have no kids menu - so if I want to visit with the family, I have to pay full price for a veggie quesadilla - with everything removed (so just a cheese quesadilla) for the kids who will still only eat half. Similar - they have great soups, but offer no way to get a soup as a side instead of fries (or a soup /sandwich combo). Offer more flexible menu options so I can visit more frequently!

If you're looking for freshly baked, tasty bread, then this is the right place to be. They also make pies, cupcakes, soup, sandwiches, pastries, and even juice. You can sit down and have a terrific lunch here, with excellent service. Or just grab your favorite bread and ask the service to slice it for you, and you'll be on your way in no time.

Decent little coffee/brunch/bakery spot. Interesting items they sell here. Food is pretty good. Bakery items were solid. Everything is a bit more expensive than it needs to be. That being said I recommend for the nice interior and variety of stuff they have.

Good place but seemed a bit over-priced to me. There was even a 3% “usage charge” - maybe that’s normal in Minne? I’ve never seen a muffin so loaded with seeds - it was good.
