Patisserie Margo — Restaurant in Edina

This is a lovely place. I was looking for a new bakery to check out and found this one. Parking was decent, they had a spot just for people visiting the bakery. That was cool! So I walked into the building and it was bustling with customers. That is always a good sign to me. I looked around, I saw that they serve one of my favorite espresso drinks, a Miel! So I already knew I'd be getting one of those for sure. The pastry area had so many options that looked so good!! I was on the search for a few delicious treats to bring to my child's favorite teacher. I saw many, so I decided to get a good selection of sweet treats! The lady that was helping me choose was a very awesome person!! She talked me into getting a cherry tart as well 😋. She put all my items in a box and told me "Well don't you have a beautiful box here!" I agreed it looked delightful. I let her know I'd be getting a Meil also, she made my drink lovingly. She actually looked as if you enjoyed the process of making the drink. When you enjoy what you do it makes it taste SO much better. Extra cinnamon, a little on the sweeter side with the honey and she came over and poured the steamed milk in my cup in front of me. That seemed very genuine. I let her know I appreciated her service.

As for the desserts, they are so delicious honestly. I was in love with the Panna cotta. I forgot to get a picture of that but the balance of the mildly sweet custard with the tart mango 🥭 puree was awesome 👍🏽, the chocolate dome dessert was to die for!! The other treats went to our favorite teacher!! She told me they were wonderful and really hit the spot for her.

So overall, great customer service, atmosphere was lovely and the food a delight. Will I return YES!!! If you haven't been there, you need to try it...

Went to get a haircut at my barber’s new location in Edina. I’ve been there several times and park in the handicap parking spot directly in front of this place. I didn’t know what kind of business this was. Finally on a pleasant day like today I decided to look them up online to see if there was a listing. Sure enough The Patisserie Margo is listed; its a bakery. I decided I would venture inside the dark place. Every time I walk past it the glass window is so dark you can’t see inside…at all. You might be lucky enough to see some lighted shelves but without knowing ahead of time, it could be a restaurant or even a private club. I did see people come put with boxes of stuff. White unassuming boxes; could be anything in them. Online there are pictures of some pasties and a phone number that says “call to order.” I wasn’t sure what to expect to find inside. The hours state 9-2 M-F 8-12 Sat. It was around 1pm so I expected the place to be sold out. I’ve looked at pictures online afterwards and the shelves were just as bare in those pics as what I saw. People were pleasant and asked if I wanted coffee with my purchase. I declined (not everyone drinks coffee- I know, I know this is America where everyone drinks coffee- well not me). I bought an eclair and 2 cherry tarts. Total $15. Pretty expensive but I expected it. What I did NOT expect was the pit (seed) in one of the tarts! Almost broke a tooth biting into it. For these prices, please pay closer attention. The pit remover doesn’t work 100%, you have to look at each cherry to make sure it’s been removed. Otherwise it was a nice little shop. Wish there was something that tells people what the business is, I would have stopped in many...

Having been there six or more times has let us taste a variety of things. I’m a taker for the soups and sandwiches. I’ve also had the Mushroom & Thyme Quiche for lunch and will order it again. All the pastries look tantalizing, and we certainly trust their baking skills and recommendations.

The scones have great texture. I Iove how there is a “crunch” to the crust. The blueberry scones may be my favorite, but they are all worth trying. Like all scones, go early and get them fresh out of the oven for the best If you like flavored croissants, try the almond and chocolate croissants – even the "plain" croissants are excellent. For chocolate lovers, both the Caramel Chocolate Dome, and Flourless Chocolate (GF) with chocolate mousse are fabulous sweet delicacies.

Upon high recommendation to try the Gingerbread Stout Beer muffin, we did. Shockingly, amazingly good! When you want to serve cinnamon rolls for breakfast, they have an excellent recipe. I prefer the pecan ones. The lemon squares here are the very best in the Twin Cities. You can secure a table both inside and outside.

The coffee is okay. It is nice that we can buy scone dough to take home and bake fresh for guests. The bakery staff are very helpful and know their product. We’ve always been able to easily find a parking spot. Margo, we miss you in Excelsior but are glad we can still find you. Thank you so much for running a stellar European-like patisserie business.

Highly...
