Bakery Review: Isles Bun & Coffee

Cinnamon-infused bliss. That’s the best way to describe Isles Bun & Coffee, a small bakery situated between Hennepin Avenue and Lake of the Isles.



From caramel sticky buns to cinnamon rolls, they’re masters of the quintessential sweet bun. They don’t fool around by adding peculiar seasonings or bacon-flavored chocolate. Isles Bun & Coffee simply takes a classic and holds it to the highest standard.

We decided to try the cinnamon roll. . .



. . . and some French Roast coffee.



So, how was the roll?

A soft, sweet, cinnamon giant. Luscious and moist throughout with right-out-of-the-oven freshness. This gastronomical experience lies in that rare place where reality meets expectation.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks so, because when we sat outside we were surrounded by tiny, gourmand birds who desperately wanted a crumb or two.


Isles Bun & Coffee is a bakery worthy of becoming a family tradition.
