Reviews of Queen City Bakery (Bakery)

Melissa Prostrollo

Cool feel, good coffee, yummy treats. This place has the quintessential coffeehouse vibe, in a pretty building. It's generally kind of busy, at least when I have been there. Their baked treats are worth trying. The sprinkle cake just feels high-end. Try a s'mores cookie - you're likely to become a fan.

Audra Janke

Great atmosphere. Good place to take a laptop and work as it's typically pretty quiet.

Chris Blake

I love everything this bakery offers--the cake, the coffee, the muffins, the cookies! They're all made with high quality ingredients and are just unbelievably tasty. It's a hidden gem in the midwest!

Carolyn Ly-Donovan

Great ambiance, and of course amazing pastries, sandwiches, pies, cakes, and treats. My favorite!!

Best pastries and coffee in Sioux falls!

Tonina Johnson

Hey. Béat s Starbucks

Darin Vander Well

Simply the best.

Leigh Braun

Their coffee is the bomb! I could literally drink it all day. I don't know why I love it so much, but it's simple and delicious. Free refills if you stay in house. Also it is just a really relaxing, awesome place to sit and be. Bakery items are amazing too, the s'mores cookie would be my top recommendation! Also the employees and owners are kind and welcoming. Give it a visit! Or many visits!

Kenny Jorgensen

Great bakery, real ingredients, glad they are in my town

tapan chaddarwala

Plenty of breakfast options and great coffee place.. You can be easily tempted to pick a scone or quiche.

Ryan Haycock

Amazing food!

Kyle Schmidt

Bagel bombs are the best. My wife's favorite place to hang out and have coffee and treats.

Karen Lundquist

Queen City combines amazing food, great atmosphere, and wonderful food. I had a pastry, coffee, and a sandwich—and everything was memorable! Plus, the owner shared their philosophy, what food was available (different treat options every day) and made me feel at home. Recommended!

Lucas Beseke

Very good coffee and pastries. We each had a pecan bourbon bar and a cookie. I had the vanilla sandwich cookie which was soft and sweet. My wife had a monster cookie which was large and soft center. We both had a coffee.

Erik Muckey

Great local coffee shop.

Jelena Djordjevic

They have amazing pastries.

Jacee Casarella

Fantastic baked goods, friendly staff, and lots of seating. Their variety in baked items is second to none. It's really a great place to come and get some work done in the afternoons or meet with friends. They've done a great job keeping the original character of the historic building.

Liz Thiner

As always, Queen City is a delight a special treat or every day.

Lori Stephenson

Kristin Seruyange

Everything is awesome. Highly recommend quiche and s'mores cookies.

Laura Hupp

Super cute space. The quiche is delicious!

Traci Praul

Fantastic

Paul Morgan

Quality coffee ; relaxed ambience Limited, quality pastry selection. Had the almond pain-au-chocolate which appeared deep fried - very rich/delicious.

Owen Fritz

The best croissants I’ve ever had. They rival any bakery you can think of, but get there early on the weekend because the chocolate and savory filled ones go fast(10am usually). They have frequently received our business in the form of cakes to go, even made them for my sisters wedding. Go here and try something, anything, while enjoying a great cup of coffee with friends or coworkers.

Chad Pickard

2 words: Bagel Bomb 2 other words: Everything croissant 2 more words: large quiche I can keep doing this.....I've got all day and all their food is delicious. Ask for the hidden menu items.....a place this good....there has to be some.

Heidi Namken

The quality of ingredients for all items made is obvious after the first taste or sip. Great ambiance and location to hold small meetings.

NM H

Established Sioux Falls coffee house and bakery . Eclectric atmosphere, items made from top ingredients on sight daily.

Sherry Ford

I received a gift card to Queen City Bakery at Christmas time, but, I hadn't used it till Sunday, March 18th. My first glance around after walking in was how huge the place was. It was gigantic. There were people scattered all around sitting and on their laptops, tablets, and phones. After walking up to the counter, I was overwhelmed at all the choices I had to pick from. I asked the barista for some choices, and she told me she liked the butter rum and a type of chocolate cake. I took her advice and got both of them. The boyfriend and I sat at a table and enjoyed the fact that we could actually hear each other because there wasn't any loud music or other disturbances. I think I found by new go to "latte and sweet treat" place. I would definitely recommend you check this place out. Just wish I wouldn't have waited so long.

Bryan Mulder

Excellent coffee great breakfast treats!

Katie Randall Hughes

Absolute favorite place in town. The food and the people make this place exceptional. Personal favorites: quiche and strawberry jammers!

Ben Lippert

Mitch and company do a great job, and their "new" location on 8th Street is beautiful and inviting.

Greg Smith

Did not blow me away with their quiche and coffee, but also did not disappoint.

Betsy Sprenkle

Great offerings for the coffee aficionados and a ton of delicious pastries (Favorite is the quiches and jammers)

Daley Monson

Great service & food. I will absolutely be back.

Danielle Fritz

Best bakery in town! Everything is delicious. We often can’t leave without getting some cookies for later. Love their bagel bombs, quiche, jammy dodgers, and the Best Drink Ever.

Lindsay Wallace

Owners are very friendly and very comfortable atmosphere.

Kohler Brandon

A+ coffee and food, great place!

Tiffany Glaser

Wonderful ambiance, friendly staff, and the best pastries around!

Zeke Hanson

Great way to start your day...or even spend it. They have room to work. Good coffee. Great treats. A frequent meeting stop. Check their website for schedules as they are not open every day. You'll enjoy the environment no matter the climate outside. It's just as fast to order a cup to go here as it is to wait in the drive through line at one of the coffee chains in town.

Katie Travis

It is hands down the best bakery in town.

C. Pope

Excellent baked goods and espresso drinks in a renovared historic building. Open floor plan, large wooden beams and brick walls. Outdoor seating. Lively and hip coffee shop and bakery.

James Jacobson

Absolutely the best cupcakes anywhere!

Kaycee Bratsberg

To die for cakes! The highlight of all the birthday parties I bring them too. The building is also very stunning. Such a gem to have downtown.

Andrew Rader

Excellent pastries and oatmeal, unlimited coffee refills, and an amazing team!

Katie's Cottage

Great place for bakery goodies! Employees are awesome.

kristina sekely

Very good

N Smith

It was a nice spot. I will absolutely go again. Coffee, for here, is more expensive, but it is bottomless! I tried a scone and it was too dry for my taste. Next time I will try a cookie.

Jackie Shives

Fun place to go for meetings, read a book, play a board game, and enjoy coffee and treats. Awesome atmosphere!

Yuriy Gula

Nice selection of coffee and baked sweets.plrnty of sitting area.

Michael Luke

Little spendy, and not the easiest to find, but I don't think I have ever had a better hot chocolate in my life.

Rachel Iverson

This place looks beautiful, very nice atmosphere to have a breakfast at. It didn’t seem like there was a huge selection for it being a bakery only. I was expecting a little bit more choice from the case. What I didn’t get was good, this would be a good place to meet someone for coffee probably not great to do homework it’s a little bit loud. Check it out.

Megan Moore

Spacious, luscious, prompt.

Charles Sichel-Outcalt

Very nice treats and a seemingly cool clientele. Surprisingly high prices - I think my cookie was over $3? But then again, the portions are verygenerous and everything tasted great.

Jacqueline Ver Meer

Nothing negative can ever be said about this place. A Sioux Falls staple. Also, the strawberry rhubarb pie was amazing!

Jennifer Kuipers

The quiche was amazing. Staff and customers friendly and helpful.

bill Hoff

Top quality baked goods and coffee in an attractively renovated old building.

BARBARA SCHREIER

Always the best!

Na'ahma Golden

Ambiance, coffee, quiche like a cloud! Can't wait to go back!

Karl Letsche

Chai Latte is very good. Good non-dairy milk options.

Billy B

Amazing cookies, pie, pastries, etc. Nice service, and so much to choose from!! Fyi, the Quiche options are AWESOME, a must order item!

David Catalan

Great little place almost feels hidden delicious breakfast items, stop by in summer for an Arnold Palmer and enjoy it while eating some birthday cake outside

Troy Weiland

Great Ambience, great pastries, and people, and the coconut cream cake cannot be topped!

Rod Dirks

Tremendous bakery, wonderful atmosphere, terrific baked goods. Location is wonderful, in an old brick building, exposed ceiling beams, refinished original wood flooring (appears like it anyway), and simple, tasteful decor. The staff is pleasant and helpful, making this a top choice for the Sioux Falls area.

Chris Quinn

As good as you will find !!....Worth the trip !!!

Brendan Gallagher

This place was pretty awesome, I would probably give QC another chance but for now it’s a three. I’m REALLY weird about well done. Like, I couldn’t eat medium-rare if there was a gun to my head. Unfortunately I ordered well done here but got a pink burger, which again, I just couldn’t eat. Aside from that the staff were really polite, but we only saw our server twice; drinks and order, and check. We will probably go back and try again because we want to like this place. It’s got a good vibe and it’s a really cool place. Hopefully when we do go back we find that this was just one of those days.

Brian Stormo

Locally owned unique bakery. Variety of pastries, cakes, breakfast items. Great lattes. Neat vibe.

Eric Tooley

Great coffee, great atmosphere, atheist groups used to meet here often giving it a special place in my heart. The sweetest service.

Steph Bolls

They have bakery in their name but their baked items are bland, burnt, and dry. Won’t be returning. Red velvet cake has no flavor and chocolate chip cookies are hard as a rock and burnt. Gross!!!!

Virgil Whetsel

Not the easiest to get to vecause of construction but TOTALLY worth it. Do yourself a favor and try the home made marshmallows on the counter. You know you've been dying to try one.

Jacob Steele

Runny quiche, dog hair in my chai, lame coffee cake, scowly unattentive baristas. The only thing this place has going for it is a decent radio station. Third try is a charming excuse to go across the street forever.

Sam Lopez

Good coffee, good cake!

Crystal Knobloch

I was excited to share an hour or two with friends and family for my husband's birthday. Good thing I called before ten people showed up for our treat. I was informed not only did they not have the cupcake I was looking for they didn't have ANY! She did say they could make chocolate...but only nine. Better planning means more sales! On to Half Baked. Thankful downtown has more than one option.

Voon Wong

Went there on one of the coldest Saturday in Feb. 2017. Strong coffee with free refill, the cake was pricey but it was a huge slice, so it was well worth it!

LSS SD REACH SRAE

Best latte in town

Frances Abbott Thompson

Smores cookie + a "Best Drink Ever"

Ryan Quam

Best place for coffee in town!

Kerry Barth

They also have cakes, which is a good thing. I can always buy here and send it as a gift for special occasions. Their products served as convenience to my part in several scenarios now.

Richard Garza

Great food and atmosphere with extremely great workers that take time to be friends.

Katelyn Gallamore

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Predominately younger crowd. Great pastry selection. Amazing space.

Colette Manning

QCB is one of my favorite places to take friends and family when they visit. Dont miss out on the quiche!

CHARNE WALTERS

Average.

Nateema Rose Lewis

What

Michael R. Wilder

We were disappointed in the small number of offerings available and the 2 items that we did purchase were underwhelming at best. I'm hoping that it was just because it was later in the day and that by the time we actually move to SF we will figure out the best time to go and they'll have a better selection.

Renae Clark

Strawberry Rhubarb pie was amazing

Chloe Brooks

Delicious! Great service and a wide selection of baked goods and ice cream.

Tim Nelson

Donut muffin - we had to order one and it was just like it sounds - Deeeelicious

Elyse Ingrid Young

We ordered a baby shower cake from Queen City. It will be the last time we order anything from them. The cake was so bland and inedible that we ended up throwing the whole thing away. I was super surprised because of all the good reviews, but lesson learned.

Juna Sleep Systems Justin Waggoner

My favorite place to get a breakfast.

Josh Allen

Tried the espresso chocolate cake and it was very good. They are closed on Tuesdays!

Sharon Waldner

Wow don't miss this place great food and pastries...

rabih mansour

It was ok

Kateryna Snizhko

Great atmosphere but wish they had more cold coffee options

Jessica Harman

I really like this place. Everything we tried was fresh, and had thought put into it- good quality (We tried an almond, cherry honey bar, chocolate cream pie, and sprinkle cake). My only issue is that while I enjoyed the cake itself (very moist and great flavor), the frosting was a bit different. It has a taste/consistency of slightly sweetened butter. I realize it's ''butter cream" but it's more butter-ish.

Taylor Hoekstra

Favorite in Sioux Falls.

Jereme Carne

This bakery was stellar! I had a quiche and it was perfect 10 out of 10. I also had a latte, it was very well prepared but didn't notice anything special about the beans 7/10

Brooke Giles

My favorite coffee place within I don’t even know how many miles. Maple pecan and vanilla breve are a MUST!!!!

Claudia Brianzoli

Gentle staff, variety of goods, lots of room, but empty.

Blaine Eichstadt

Excellent as always.

Julie Lewis

Friendly efficient and really good!! I got the best drink ever (that’s the name & is pretty accurate) and a slice of red velvet cake. Delicious!!

zog harms

Great desert, great atmosphere

Phyllis Miller

Food was delicious, the service was mediocre at best. I felt as though I was a bother and after receiving my lunch, was then promptly ignored. Glad i didn't want anything else. Super cute place though.

Nicholas Eaton

It was average

Cody Huisken

Bottomless coffee. Great atmosphere. Bakery options. It fits in downtown perfectly!

Caleb Waldner

Visited Queen City Bakery with a friend and was very surprised to find such a great bakery! Awesome coffee and atmosphere. I'm excited to visit in the summer so I can sit out on their patio. Also, absolutely amazing quiche!

Benjamin Vonk

Great cake

Sam Jensen

Delicious bakery with very good coffee. A nice place to meet friends or study alone. An underrated perk of staying and hanging out is unlimited refills of coffee! Highly recommend any of the quiches with a regular coffee! Thank you!!

Mytchell Hagan

Very tasty food

Wes Gravning

A very nice bakery! Love their quiche and cookies. Everything is good there.

Tony Weber

Doesn't get better in Sioux Falls. For some a home away from home. I've been a fan for years and the owners are genuinely great people. Oh yeah baked goods and coffee are tops too

Nathan N

Good food. Good coffee.

Bill Ramsdell

The coffee , the food, awesome

Adam Simon

Great place! Good food and a fantastic atmosphere!

Joshua Przybyszewski

Great coffee shop! Good for business meetings, casual hangouts, and studying. Their pastries are good, but they don't serve donuts. The baristas are kind, and they offer free refills on a cup of coffee with a to-go cup when you're on your way out. The location is nice; the other shops in the area have a good atmosphere--very fancy!

justin waggoner

Great people, place and atmosphere. Best cressaunts in this city.

Lois Klinkel

Love the quiches

James Marsh

A variety of baked goods, coffee, fresh, good, competitively priced. Decor was typical of downtown SF businesses. Service was prompt and pleasant.

Jonathan Ayars

Lovely open environment, quiet, and comfortable. Delicious pastries and baked goods, as well as espresso.

Nichole Rice

Best place in Sioux falls for cake! My husband and I had our wedding cakes made here. They don't do wedding decoration. It didn't matter to us. We had individual cakes for each table. Different flavors. It was the best! So yummy!

Ann Tienor

Bland blueberry with almond glaze scones. Dry dense sponge interior. You can't even tell it's blueberry if you close your eyes and try to savor it. Chocolate chip cookies are mediocre. They go for undercooked batter to achieve a softer texture. It's a soft cookie; it's not chewy as advertised. Peanut butter cookies are hard. I know some camps will say if you're going to drink coffee, you don't drink decaf, but it's nice to have that option for some people with health conditions or who are pregnant. No decaf coffee option; no way to tell until you're already ordering. Beautiful cafe space nonetheless.

Amber Eich

Awesome strawberry cheesecake!

Sean Walter

This is the coolest coffee and hang out place in the city.

Manny Krause

Great, but limited selection. What they do, they do well!

Eian Schrag

Love those peanut butter bars!!! Even after they've been pocket-melted!

Michelle Danielson

Fantastic baked goods, breakfast items, sandwiches and coffee drinks in a gorgeous building with a hip-without-being-pretentious atmosphere and superb service. I will definitely return again soon!

Kim Gallagher

Food is pretty terrible & expensive. I would recommend skipping for Josiah's about 2 blocks away.

Greg Klein

Good food better staff

Brian Coats

We really enjoyed our visit and the treats were all wonderful. We especially enjoyed the pecan bourbon pie

Angela Self

Best chocolate cake I've EVER had! Everything I've tasted, from cake to cookies and bars, has been amazing! Coffee and tea drinks are perfect! If I lived closer I'd never eat anywhere else!

Chuck Point

This is one of the Greatest Places to eat and get coffee in Sioux Falls. Their goodies are the best. And their homemade ice cream is the absolute bomb. The owners and employees are the greatest.

Anna Venjohn

Owner made us feel like long time friends

Alex Trout

A fun and open coffee shop with plenty of space for private conversation or interactions with others; seating is available at tables or bar style with free wifi available. Coffee was wonderful, the food excellent, and the service on point. Will return to this shop when in Sioux Falls again!

Travis Dahle

Best ☕ ever. Amazing food and fantastic people!

Shannon Holck

Hidden Gem. Good coffee. Nice place to hang, grab a yummy baked treat, or meet up with friends.

Galen McCarthy

Service was AWEFUL! My Fiancé ate her breakfast had two cups of coffee, then I got mine. No apology from the wait staff with attitude. Coffee was weak and did not taste good at all. Save your money, there are many places in Sioux Falls Way better with good service!

Theresa Kenyon

Fantastic! Bakery is always fresh. Excellent service, no matter how busy they are they take the time to care about your order. Clean, friendly atmosphere. They don't skimp on quality. Would highly recommend this place to everyone. It's worth the stop!!

Ling Ling

Aweeeeesoooome cheese cake!

Alicia O

Their coffee is delicious and they offer free refills for dine in customers. The menu changes daily so there is always something new to try. With so many sweet and savory treats to choose from you are sure to find something that tickles your fancy. This place is large and the tables are spaced nicely so it doesn't feel crowded. Outdoor seating is also a plus on a beautiful day.

Roberta Casey

Great pastry, no decaf

Manjhunath A

Wow wow wow these guys are amazing. Definitely don’t miss out this gem in the heart of the city. Carrot Cake was so light and well baked and everything is from local farmers. Enjoy the delicacies.

Emerson Carrillo

What a nice place to go with friends! Our teacher took the whole class to this place. We had a blast! The coffee is really good and the desserts are mouthwatering!

Tanya Campbell
