Isles Bun & Coffee
1424 W 28th St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Isles Bun & Coffee is a Minneapolis institution where you'll find yourself in line before dawn, watching fresh pastries steam in the cases—their cinnamon buns are legendary for good reason, with perfectly balanced sweetness and texture that justify the hype. Beyond the incredible baked goods, they nail both traditional and specialty coffee drinks, making it the kind of place where locals gladly wait 45 minutes because the experience of grabbing a warm pastry and excellent espresso feels worth every minute. This is genuinely a happening spot with a warm staff and the kind of neighborhood energy that keeps people coming back for years.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.
