I spontaneously stopped by to get an iced latte after a 5K - it was delicious! For iced drinks they only do 16oz but for hot drinks they do 8, 12 or 16oz. My friend got the breakfast sandwich - the egg in the sandwich looked and tasted a bit artificial. Service was great and the baristas were very nice! Overall rating: 10/10

Sausage breakfast sandwich was superb. Light croissant, Fluffy egg, and spicy aioli to top. Compliment with a Miel and your morning is made. Enjoy!

Such an amazing place! Their breads, pastries and sandwiches are amazing! Highly recommend their soup as well for a cold winter day! I have not had any of the coffee before but if you are looking for a great sandwich for lunch highly recommend this place! Everyone here are so kind and patient. It is a smaller place so be aware that it can get busy during peak hours but plenty of places to sit!

Probably the best bakery in the state. I was recommended to visit this place by the nearby boutique owners, clearly it is a local favorite. I'm not exaggerating. This place was PACKED on a Saturday morning, but wow do they crank out that lineup of people. The have great staff that know how to make their customers happy. I ordered a DELICIOUS almond chocolate croissant. This was quite possibly the most delicious croissant I've ever tasted. Super flakey and crispy outside and perfectly soft inside with the chocolate. I also got a vanilla latte. Super good and made quite speedy. My total price was around $10 which I thought was reasonable!Next time I'm in town, I will be making this a MUST stop.

Red Bench Bakery is a 10/10. I had their quiche and a chocolate croissant. Everything was so yummy, and I look forward to enjoying brunch there again sometime!

The breakfast food here is the real deal. I had the egg sandwich and got googly eyes after the first bite. The aioli on it was the kicker for me. Only four stars because the coffee was a little bit subpar in my opinion. Trending more toward the typical overroasted beans, rather than the third-wave lightly roasted beans I prefer. Great patio outside to enjoy a breakfast on a nice day though!

This was seriously delicious! I had ordered a baguette sandwich to-go and i was so impressed. For a little over $10 i have to say it was worth every penny, the sandwich was near the size of my forearm and the proportion of meat and cheese to bread was perfect. I really appreciate this place keeping it simpler with the sandwich so you can truly enjoy the taste of the fresh bread. Loved it. Super cute spot right in the heart of Excelsior.

Charming busy little bakery in Excelsior MN with all the goods; fresh breads, good coffee, and delicious pastries. I was in town for business looking for a place for breakfast snd to do some work (yelp does not list them in the breakfast section) . Red bench bakery fit the bill to a tee. Great service, fine people, and an exceptional breakfast consisting of a large croissant with ham and egg, drip coffee, and a sweet monkey bread muffin. All were delicious. Ambiance is std coffee shop set up. Nothing fancy but very functional. Thanks for the fun break red bench. Def worth the drive.

My 11 year old son and I stopped in on a Sunday, spur of the moment idea, We asked if we could order donuts? The response......." We're not THAT kind of bakery, you'll have to go down the street to Kowalski's if you want donuts".Kowalski"s Market in Excelsior has the best Donuts and Pastries in Town!
