Edelweiss Bakery

Don’t get me wrong the cakes were amazing but I will NEVER be purchasing a cake from here again. If I could give them ZERO stars I would. I live and Farmington and it says a lot if I would drive from Farmington to Prior Lake to get a cake. My daughter lives in prior lake and said she would pick up the cake. Not knowing what it was supposed to look like, she brought it over thinking it was fine. But it wasn’t. Not only was my sons name not even spelled close to right, they gave me something I did not even order (wrong color, wrong style, not what I asked for). It was ridiculous. I called telling them the story and they were VERY rude. The woman, rude woman, said when she picked up the cake she signed the sheet saying it was correct but she didn’t know what it was supposed to be like. It was ridiculous. All she offered was 10 $ gift card for a 30 $ cake. So disappointed from this place. HORRIBLE custom service and incorrect cakes. For a big event, DONT trust them with the cake because they will mess it up.

Decent bakery with good selection of different bake items, plus they also have sandwiches and things for lunch too. It can get busy here though and they are not equipped to handle many people so there tends to be lines and inefficient check-​out at peak times.
I came by today to get a couple things to surprise my family and it was not busy. Mid afternoon on a holiday and they still had decent selection available so I thought «great, no lines!». But the person that took our order was in a crabby mood and that didn’t help the ordering. Maybe didn’t want to work the holiday? Anyway, took off a star for the crabby worker, otherwise I would have given 4 stars since it is a nice local hometown bakery.

I like small hometown bakeries and this is a good one, however, they tend to run out of items quickly. Last time I was there they tried to serve us breakfast and it wasn’t until the 4^th I am that I mentioned were they able to provide it. They had no bacon, they had no sausage, they had no croissants. Their selection of just basic Bismarck and donuts is small. They have all kinds of fancy bakery items but not much for just basic donuts

Hands down the best bakery I have been to in a good while. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Every time I go somewhere new for the first time I always ask, «what’s popular here». They definitely pointed me in the right direction. I bought everything!
All their bakery items are delicious! If you’re ever in the downtown prior lake area do NOT skip this place!!!

I want to love this bakery. It’s adorable, albeit the worn, faded, hand written signs everywhere conflict with the somewhat upscale décor. It’s so easy to print signs on a computer. But that’s just a pet peeve. My daughter and I like to come about once a week for a pastry, but if you don’t get there by 10 am, there’s a good chance the one you like will be sold out. I don’t understand why they won’t make more of the popular items. If I felt reasonably confident that I could get a raisin roll after 10am, I would come more often. The lines are crazy. I wish they could accommodate the rush times better, the lines are ridiculous at times. The kids that work on the weekend seem tired and bored, and the owner seems flippant and burned out. The food is good, so we’ll keep coming, but I wish they would take a little more pride in what appears to be an adorable bakery with a lot of potential.

Super charming little place! Great service as well. I have a giant sweet tooth and hopped in here to pick something up for it. The girl behind the counter was very enthusiastic about helping me select my cronut. I was agonizing over the other case and she suggested the peanut butter brownie, which is right up my alley.
Prices are extremely reasonable. Service was super fast and friendly. Food was AMAZING. I’ll be back.

Seems people enjoy breakfast. Did not try that. Employees don’t know buttercream from whipped cream. Cupcakes were like low end chain store. Not one bit better. Old not fresh. Buttercream? Not sure if it’s real butter cream. Tried to order a cake. Sometimes that’s different from cupcakes. Disaster all around. 3
Times I’m done. Bad customer service and I just need to find another mom and pop bakery. Really sad cause it was a family owned and nice décor

The breakfast sandwich is excellent! Eggs, ham, and cheese on freshly baked bread. Everything here is fresh and yummy. I’ve been here several times even though I am visiting from California. Whenever I come to the area, a visit to Edelweiss Bakery is on my list of things to do.

Great chicken salad on walnut raisin bread — get it every month.

Tried their Strawberry Chantilly Cake and was disappointed. The Chantilly cake bread is supposed to be tougher and their’s was basically out of the box cake mix stuff. They had what looked like strawberry jam instead of real strawberries in between the layers.
The place was packed though. Maybe other food items are better than their Chantilly Cake.

Best bread, cakes, pastries, doughnuts and cupcakes in the area. I buy my bread daily there.
Why only three stars?
The service. Understandably, the lines are often long. I can deal with that. Can I deal with uninterested staff that works simply as a greeting-​less assembly line to ring you up and bag your purchase? Apparently, yes.
A close friend of mine ordered a cake from them for a party, and they made it incorrect to her specifications. They made no offer for a discount or anything, simply, If you want this cake, pay for it. If you don’t want to pay for it, no cake. I’m not sure if this man is the owner, but it sure seemed like it. That being said, the cake was delicious, albeit the wrong cake for the occasion.
Go for the bread, not the charm I guess.

I’m taking away a star because last time i went in the cupcakes were not as good as before. Barely any filling and seemed a little dry. I hope I just went on a bad day and they will be back to their former glory the next time I visit.

Perfection. Best pastries around. Beautiful detail and presentation. Absolute legit euro style bakery. Compliments downtown prior lake with its adorable store front!

Fantastic lunch spot for fresh bread sandwiches and the bakery deserts are amazing. Keep up the good work.

Edelweiss is my go-​to place to pick up amazing desserts when it’s my turn to bring treats to book club, or we’re having a birthday celebration.
The bakery is busy in the early morning (almost unmanageable on weekend mid-​mornings), but it’s a nice spot to have a coffee later in the day. They also serve savory items like sandwiches and soup.

I’m at the best bakery in the world! Check out Edelweiss Bakery on Main Street in Prior Lake! It’s the best atmosphere and and incredible food and coffee! You won’t be disappointed!

I stopped in to get a cake to celebrate my anniversary with my husband. Usually I would just bake my own, but this time I didn’t have the time and wanted something extra special. The price was very reasonable at just $ 23 for a 6″, 3-​layer sponge cake with one layer of strawberry filling and one layer of raspberry filling, and a buttercream frosting. The cake was also delicious and my husband kept raving that it tasted like wedding cake! I will definitely be back when I’m in need of a dessert for a special occasion!

Lines, lines, lines… always a line. We live right up the road, but avoid Edelweiss because we don’t want to wait in line for overpriced, ordinary tasting donuts.
Called the manager one time to see if they were able to do a birthday cake without red dye. His disinterested reply was, I could maybe do a carrot cake. You are a bakery and the best you can do is a carrot cake? Even if it was, the attitude was a turn off.

Great lunch selection, very fresh!
Baked goods were as good as they come!
Also got some bread to take home and was not a bad idea!

So lucky to have stumbled onto this place. We were driving from Mystic Lake Casino home to Austin and found this little gem for breakfast. I had the granola parfait. It nearly brought tears to my eyes. It was that good! We also bought a loaf of the four cheese bread to take home. Yum! Don’t know when we will ever be in that neighborhood again but I know where I will go if I am.
Edelweiss, if you reading this, please ship me some granola. Ok great thanks!
