Dahlia — Restaurant in Robbinsdale

Dahlia is such a special pop-up bakery that provides creative and delicious treats regularly across the Metro area. We are always excited to see those new menus on Instagram and email. My experience with Dahlia, however, begins with their cakes. When we were planning our June wedding, we were struggling to find a cutting cake for our dessert table that was reasonably sized and priced, while still being delicious and on theme for our vintage garden party celebration. Dahlia provided all four. While Dahlia doesn't offer a sampler (totally understandable for the ultra seasonal menu and small team), the cakes are so reasonably priced that we ordered a small banana creme brulee cake for our annual Friendsgiving celebration. We and our guests were blown away by the decoration and (most importantly) the taste. It was a no brainer to move forward with them for our wedding. Dahlia was super flexible with us to get our wedding cake ordered (a perfect strawberry rhubarb for June) and great partners to deliver the beautiful centerpiece...

I’ve enjoyed this baker’s goods from the COVID Pig Ate My Pizza days and finally caved, recently making the treks across town to taste these fabulous baked goods again.

I’ve always wondered if there was a bakery out there that creates unconventional twists or fuses some bonker flavors together for their baked goods. Dahlia makes those baked dreams come true and I’m so glad we get to taste those delicious risks on the weekly.

Now I only wish they came back to the northwest for pop ups or have a 2nd outpost in the northwest after they get their brick and mortar in Minneapolis going!

Dream Standouts: Chimichurri Potato Salad-hands down best potato salad and an umami banger. Still dreaming of it.

I've had many experiences with dahlia pastries and popups and I can't recommend enough that everyone with a love of classic and artistically inspired French laminated pastries get to one of these popups YESTERDAY but hey, there's always tomorrow. Or next weekend. Support this dynamic team of professionals until they can get their permanent restaurant/bakery space, and then support them more. Beautiful cakes for events, galas supporting reproductive rights, delicious scratch made everything with often locally sources ingredients, and vibes that don't take life too seriously all illustrate the versatility and commitment to their craft while having fun with it. Keep up...
