Reviews
Rustica is nestled between Minneapolis and St. Louis park. I stopped in after another appointment and was not disappointed. I had the breakfast sandwich with egg, avocado, bacon, and aioli, but with the cheese on the side. It was delicious! Bursting with flavor, the avocado was a tad much but the brioche bun was soft, the egg was crisp and the bacon added some saltiness that my body was craving. The server worked with me and my allergies and helped me find an order that was a good one. Thank you to the team I will be coming back!
Amazing cafe and bakery! Went here with a friend and the ambiance was great. I had a cappuccino that was very good!
One of my favorite places to sit, decompress and do work. Been a fan of Rustica since it was a small bakery in south Mpls. Parking can get crazy on the weekends as the location is in a busy strip mall. It's totally worth the hassle though! Once inside grab an amazing pastry or cookie from their bakery and a craft coffee or tea from the counter bar. My go to is the chai tea with vanilla and the dark chocolate cookies. I have NEVER had a cookie like this. They are uber rich and decadent. Find a cozy spot near the window and settle in for a treat. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.
Went to Rustica for the first time and loved it. We got the best seat in the cafe, right next to the window and away from the crowd. The place is spacious anyways so it's not difficult to get a seat even when it's busy. We ordered the Kouign Amann, a seasonal focaccia, and some fall seasonal drinks like their salted maple latte and salted hazelnut mocha. Everything was so good. The focaccia was soft and flavorful and the drinks were the perfect sweetness level for me. It was a perfect spot to catch up with my girlies!
Yummy coffee and baked treats! Had a lavender honey oat milk latte "half sweet" which was perfect! Also enjoyed the large, flaky chocolate croissant. There were a few tables open at 9am on Saturday morning, but absolutely packed by the time we left around 11am. Will be back to try more tasty bakery goodies.
