Sweet Retreat

5013 France Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55410
(612) 353-6230
Sweet Retreat takes a Zen-like approach to making cupcakes, letting inspiration take owner and chef Robin Johnson and the rest of the baking crew to whatever their fancy is at the moment. That doesn't mean there isn't rigorous control of the all-important cake or the ingredients that go into the frostings and other toppings, it's just that there's always a sense of whimsy when you stop in their south Minneapolis location. S'mores and white chocolate raspberry are summer favorites, while the likes of cookies 'n' cream or the self-explanatory Butterfinger are utter flavorful delights no matter the season. Johnson's skills earned her a spot on Cupcake Wars in 2011, where she impressed the judges with a variety of tasty treats, including the strawberry balsamic cupcake. The care that goes on behind the scenes--Johnson spent two years researching optimal moisture and density levels -- comes out in amazing bursts of flavor, making Sweet Retreat an essential stop for any cupcake lover in the Twin Cities.
