I have to admit, I was very hesitant to write a review about this place. Not because I had anything negative to say, quite the opposite. This place is brilliant as an artisan bakery, the bread they make is too good to be true and some really bad for your waistline 8) .

They even allow you to watch them knead the dough. Best sandwiches, great spread choices. Soup choice sound delicious but for me (true Minnesotan) to hot for soup today. Reasonable prices. You take a bite of that fresh bread and it not only tastes incredible if only for a split second, the taste takes you back home. A must stop for a great lunch, and a loaf of...
