Honey & Rye Bakehouse
4501 Excelsior Blvd, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“This cozy Minneapolis bakehouse excels at the artful marriage of exceptional pastries and genuinely excellent coffee, with standout items like buttery croissants, innovative savory Danishes, and a cold brew that's earned serious praise from regulars. The small, welcoming space strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine-and-pastry stop and a comfortable spot to linger with your laptop, all staffed by genuinely kind people who make you feel unhurried whether you're grabbing focaccia pizza or settling in for the afternoon. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that clearly puts care into both its baking and its community, sourcing local ingredients and creating an atmosphere where everyone—families, solo workers, friends meeting up—feels genuinely at home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Pleasantly surprised! I really liked the monkey bread and savory Danish pastry. Both were fun twists on classic baked items. I hope that innovation spirit continues. This place is a stones throw away from the hospitals in the area. The restaurant is pretty tiny and has barely…
