Patisserie Margo
4510 Valley View Rd, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Minneapolis, this French patisserie is a quiet haven where you can linger over meticulously crafted pastries and cakes that locals rave about with genuine awe—think silky Gianduia cake and quiches that rival anything you've tasted before. Beyond the sweets, they excel at thoughtful light fare like their signature soups and sandwiches, making it equally perfect for a leisurely solo coffee moment or catching up with friends over lunch. The cake artist here is genuinely talented, and whether you're ordering a custom creation or simply pulling up a chair to slow-sit with a traditional espresso, you'll feel the care that goes into every detail.”

So glad we tried it when visiting Minneapolis! The best quiche I’ve ever had!
Pâtisserie Margot is pure perfection! I tried the Gianduia cake, and it was honestly the best cake I have ever tasted. The texture was silky and light, the chocolate and hazelnut layers perfectly balanced rich but not too sweet, with that unmistakable touch of French finesse. You can tell every detail is crafted with love and skill. The presentation was stunning, and enjoying it with a view of Dalt Vila made the experience even more special. Truly a masterpiece! I can’t wait to come back and try more!
Special ordered two dozen Macaroons for an all red themed office party……not only were they absolutely delicious but the color (this is an office full of artists and designers) was just as red as I needed it to be to make the whole dessert area pop. Also the young guy who helped me was friendly and super knowledgeable on the phone taking the order and in person when I picked it up. And seriously cookies were as good as any I’ve had in France!! 🇫🇷
Wow! The cake artist is fantastic! She did such a beautiful job on my order, it was even more amazing than expected. Highly recommend.
Having been there six or more times has let us taste a variety of things. I’m a taker for the soups and sandwiches. I’ve also had the Mushroom & Thyme Quiche for lunch and will order it again. All the pastries look tantalizing, and we certainly trust their baking skills and recommendations. The scones have great texture. I Iove how there is a “crunch” to the crust. The blueberry scones may be my favorite, but they are all worth trying. Like all scones, go early and get them fresh out of the oven for the best If you like flavored croissants, try the almond and chocolate croissants – even the "plain" croissants are excellent. For chocolate lovers, both the Caramel Chocolate Dome, and Flourless Chocolate (GF) with chocolate mousse are fabulous sweet delicacies. Upon high recommendation to try the Gingerbread Stout Beer muffin, we did. Shockingly, amazingly good! When you want to serve cinnamon rolls for breakfast, they have an excellent recipe. I prefer the pecan ones. The lemon squares here are the very best in the Twin Cities. You can secure a table both inside and outside. The coffee is okay. It is nice that we can buy scone dough to take home and bake fresh for guests. The bakery staff are very helpful and know their product. We’ve always been able to easily find a parking spot. Margo, we miss you in Excelsior but are glad we can still find you. Thank you so much for running a stellar European-like patisserie business. Highly recommended.
