Laune Bread — Restaurant in Minneapolis

*Updated 4/24: Laune started doing subscriptions and delivery to a number of places in town, and recently updated their app for both! We have been getting in our order on Sunday's and picking up at Dogwood NE. We always get a loaf of bread and then our weekly end of week pastries. LOVE that we can have Laune close to home. This place is THE best! Best bakery in town right now! This was my first time here and I got a number of things for take out. We ate every single thing we bought here, and more importantly liked it. It's a bit more of an 'earthy' bakery ~ perfect in our book. I really enjoyed the sandwich, and bought extra buns to make more sandwiches later in the week (froze them for a couple of days and they were still great after unthawing!). I was a little bummed the women in front of me slowly bought almost all the cookies they had; oh well guess I will have to come back.

I really appreciate (and love to support) the effort's they make to support local farmers/use local ingredients ~ pretty amazing in this day and age. Tiff (I recognized her from their website) even came and packed up some of my goods noticing I was waiting :). The woman staffing the counter was very nice. Bright airy space (I can see if they had more seating it would be a popular hangout). Street parking (when there isn't the remnants of winter storms) seemed plentiful.

The only thing I don't like about this place is that it isn't closer to where I live (Nordeast), but that makes it an extra...

Just do yourself a favor and stop into the bakery, say hi to the good quality peeps running the place, buy yourself a loaf of Bread Bread, eat half of it on the car ride home, then toast up a slice with a huge glob of butter and a soft-boiled egg, and transcend into the crusty, chewy, flavorful goodness that is the Laune Bread dimension. THEN tell me if you still need to be sitting on Google reviews to figure out if it's worthwhile.

If I could review each item-- from the melt-in-your-mouth buttery shortbread cookies to the jaw-tingling cranberry linzers to the best cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten-- I would. Though the high-quality products are worth the return trip each week, it's the warm, intentional, unpretentious, community-oriented humans who run it that make me a dedicated...

Heavenly bread! Just amazing. Every one I have tried is incredible. Their hearty/dense German rye breads are amazing! I generally lean towards their bread over baked goods as I like a little more white flour and airiness in my pasteries. This I don’t think is a fault of theirs as they have a path and stick to it. That being said their orange anise spiral, sesame ball, dal filled croissant, and rye cookies are really amazing (fyi I think all those names are wrong more just descriptors of the product). Also if you like tea you have to buy the sticky rice black tea they sell. You can get it to drink there or buy some to go. It is soooo good! The service and vibe there is always warm and friendly. This place is amazing and worth checking out if you are...
