Mother Dough Bakery (Vicinity) — Restaurant in Minneapolis

First impressions are everything - their house light roast coffee blend was very tasty. However, my time with the fruit danish was less than pleasant. It was served cold directly from the fridge/cooler. The fruit section was also visibly frozen. The server said they were advised to serve it that way and were not allowed to warm it up or leave them out at room temp.

If you plan to eat the danish at the cafe like I did, then you may need to wait 30+ min for it to reach room temperature and thaw. My feedback to management would be to make this adjustment swiftly because while I really wanted to go back and enjoy other items on the menu, I’m now reluctant to do so due to my experience with the nearly frozen danish.

Update: The response from management is exactly what superior customer service should look and feel like across the industry, and as a result I'm updating my original review to reflect the quality of service care Mother Dough Bakery offers to their customers both...

We have been walking past this new location for three weeks, wondering when it would open. So we were very excited when we saw it was finally open. It's a very cute space, with a nice patio outside and beautiful tiled walls inside. Service was good. It seems they are trying to do a French thing, with imported Parisian chocolates and macarons, so this should be something we would love, but we were not wowed. Prices were above average and the croissant was nothing to write home about, like your typical soft chewy American croissant. It reminded me of a grocery store croissant. And the baguette was also not what we would expect from a place trying to do French pastries. While perfectly edible, it didn't have the crust or crumb we expect from a true baguette. More like a grocery store baguette. It's convenient to our work, so we may be back to try other things, but this first venture was definitely...

A Parisian cafe with wonderful pastries, French breads, sandwiches, salads, and coffee.

The ambiance is fantastic and is the kind of cafe I would love to just hangout in. If you are looking for croissants and coffee this is second to none.

It fits nicely with the aesthetic and vibe of the mill district and is a more elevated experience. Like all of the Fhima restaurants the eye for detail and quality of the food and beverage makes it a premium experience. I liked sitting in the upstairs area framed by large windows overlooking the entrance to the mill city museum while my partner and I drank our espressos, had a generous breakfast sandwich, and had a chocolate croissant.
