Sweet Retreat

As you know I have a HUGE sweet tooth. I am a sucker for a good (and cute) bakery and never can walk past one without popping in and trying a sugary sensation. We have loads of good bakeries in Dallas, but I have yet to find a handful of equivalents in MN. Of course Wuollet's has always been at the top of my list, but after my most recent visit I have added another to that list.

Sweet Retreat is located in Minneapolis (I would say Edina, but it is actually on the Minneapolis side of the street) at 50th and France.
As if the outside was not enough to entice me in, the delectable treats inside certainly had my stomach growling upon entry.
The pink everywhere made me feel right at home!
Even the menu is just as darling as can be!
Mother visits often (after we once drove by it together I convinced her to return, without me I might add) and recommended just about every flavor in the case to me. We finally went home with just four cupcakes and every single one was fabulous!
I love that Sweet Retreat offers their customers a glimpse into their baking area. The above is a glassed in so you can watch the bakers work their magic with flour, sugar and decorating tubes.
Of course the pink theme was carried over to the mixer. I was really feeling at home once I spotted this!
The main reason we stopped into Sweet Retreat was to order a buche de Noel for our New Year's Day brunch. After a small debate we decided to order a chocolate mint buche and it was simply DIVINE....both inside and out!
When mother picked up the buche she spotted some amazing frosted sugar cookies that she could not pass up. The snowflakes tasted just as good as they looked!
Sweet Retreat certainly lives up to their name with their sweet treats! It is a new stop on all my trips up North now!
