“We tried it: Dahlia pastries at new brick-and-mortar are worth the wait, February 2026 — Axios Twin Cities
The article begins:
Audrey here! I finally had the chance to try pop-up bakery Dahlia's new brick-and-mortar in Northeast Minneapolis, and it's absolutely worth waiting in any weekend lines.
Dig in: The bakery operates in the same colorful space as MN Nice Cream. Dahlia runs from 8am-1pm, and the ice cream shop takes over at 2pm. Seating is limited, as is parking.
In addition to a half-dozen elaborate pastries, the menu has expanded to add savory and sweet mains like smoked salmon toast and focaccia French toast bites.
What to try: The caramel morning bun topped with brown butter icing was enormous and delicious without being overly sweet, as was the banana cream pie croissant (stuffed with banana cream pudding!).
My unexpected favorite? Dahlia's wild rice chicken soup, accompanied by the greatest homemade Parmesan garlic knot I've ever had.
