Specialty flavor for May: Lemon Cloud Bun

A pillowy brioche donut bun filled with a lemon whipped cream cheese, then crowned with a swirl of marshmallow fluff—torched to golden perfection. Bright, creamy, and kissed by fire, it’s a little taste of sunshine in every bite.

Feeling so grateful and excited to see this in print. A couple of weeks ago, a friend congratulated me, but I had no idea what they were talking about. It wasn’t until another friend shared a screenshot of the feature over Thanksgiving weekend that it all made sense. 😄

Beyond thrilled and honored that So Yen Desserts has been included as one of the 50 BEST in 2024!🏆✨ Thank you so much, @mspmag for recognizing us along such incredible talent in the Minnesota food scene.

This wouldn’t be possible without the love and support from our amazing community, team, and loyal customers who believe in what we do every single day.

Congratulations to all the amazing establishments on this list — what an inspiring group to be a part of!

May you always “Eat Good, Live Well…Noj Qab, Nyob Zoo”

Our Strawberry Shortcake-filled donut brings back memories of childhood summers, hearing the familiar jingle of the ice cream truck while playing outside. It takes me right back to those warm days, running to find mom for $1.25 so I could grab a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar—sweet, creamy, and perfect.

Excited to be bringing this on this month! Our caramel flan is Yen’s favorite! A custard-based caramel flan, layered with a smooth caramel topping in our soft brioche donut that makes every bite absolutely delicious!
