Brookings Bakery

I was in need of some holiday gift "boxes" for some local businesses. Being in Sioux Falls, I had never worked with the Brookings Bakery before, but to say I was impressed would be an understatement. They were quick to respond to my request. They were friendly and helpful. And when our original plans changed, they were more than happy to adjust and deliver the items for us. Thank you for everything.

The cinnamon rolls are fantastic. Everything else is OK. The pastries are fine, but honestly, I've had better from HyVee. The breakfast sandwiches look and smell amazing, but I haven't tried them. So maybe that's what the buzz is about. Pictured: one lemon turnover (bottom) one Danish with blueberry and cherry filling (top). Only $5 for both ($2.50 each). A great price for a local bakery, but, when factoring in the quality, is priced just about right. Also, super slow service (just for ordering, there's no table service). They don't take American Express. Which is fine, whatever. But the card reader or whatever they use is impossibly slow, making the wait on the weekend excruciating. The workers are doing what they can, don't get me wrong. But that slow technology sets a bad tone before

Great service! And I really enjoyed the breakfast burrito

I asked what they were known for and they said Caramel Rolls. It was gooey and delicious!! (pic in my own bowl) - from Seattle

The croissants were good but the hashbrowns were too salty. I did not try the cookies or danishes but both looked very good. The decor is minimalist and appears to be a work in progress. Staff was mildly friendly.
