Brake Bread

My bestie and I have been eyeing this place for sometime now, so we decided let's give it a whirl. First time here, we were looking at the window of goodies and all of a sudden this friendly gentleman opens this window and says how I can I help you guys? It kinda scared me because I didn't notice the window there and thought we were looking at the goodies outside prior to ordering inside. Oops! Haha! We ordered the So Sesame loaf, almond scone, and croissant. Next time, we'll have to check out the Bread Bus which is Brake Bread's spot if you're looking for indoor seating. The gentleman helping us mentioned it's a cute cozy spot and he enjoys taking his breaks out there. All of our items were fantastic. The croissant was soft, flaky, and oh so buttery. That almond scone was heavy/dense, smelt so almondy, but I got a coffee/almond taste. It was SO delicious. It was soft and oh so flavorful. The So Sesame bread was great as well. Can't wait to have it with my eggs this morning. I'll be back to try some coffee and another almond scone.

I've lived in or near St. Paul for the longest time and have been meaning to come here. I chose one of the coldest days to walk up to the Togo window to place an order, heh! There was a bus in the parking lot to the side of your interested in eating and playing games that they have available. Their inside was closed. We tried the sesame bread (not pictured), almond scone, and croissant. The croissant was excellent - highly recommend. The almond scone, now this sounds crazy, tastes like coffee. I love coffee flavor, but if you're not a fan, maybe pass on this one. My friend tried it and I asked her how it was and she also tasted coffee prior to me confirming I tasted the same thing. Not bad at all, we enjoyed it, but be prepared to taste coffee. The sesame bread took our breakfasts to another level. Crunchy and tasty. I'm moving out of the area, but this little bakery is one worth going to for sure.

Small scale bakery turning out great whole grain breads and pastry. They have a walk window to order but you can also preorder online. They'll even bike their goods around and deliver to your place! That's where the name comes from, after all!The service and bread have always been fantastic. Highly recommend their épi baguette, cardamom spinner, and focaccia. No dining area so plan to eat on the little parking lot patio or take it to go.

During the pandemic - seems a lot of stories begin the same way lately - I signed up to be a subscriber to their weekly bike delivery service to a local pick-up site. Since then, I've been enjoying a fresh loaf of bread - usually their "Batard du Nord" - each week. A thick slice of bread, toasted and slathered with creamy peanut butter, is my typical morning breakfast, along with homemade coffee, either cold-brewed in the warmer months, or hot brewed (pour-over style) in the cooler/colder months. Sometimes, I'll also include in my pick-up order a tasty sweet treat. My pick-up location is convenient to get to (it's just about a mile from my house and most often I walk there to pick up my order). Items are always tasty and fresh, and of excellent quality, IMHO.For the time being, their retail shop is open to the public Thurs. - Sat., 8:00am-12:00pm, except around the holidays when their hours will be limited, and posted someplace, like their website, Facebook page, or Instagram.The staff at this shop are friendly, knowledgeable about all things bread-related, and dedicated to their craft as well as supporting the community and protecting the environment.Their bread is available for sale at Mississippi Market, too!

I dream of Almond Scones from Brake Bread. Some may venture to say I relocated from San Francisco to Saint Paul just to be closer to this carb Mecca. Scones, cookies, breads; they're all delicious. The sweets are perfectly balanced in sweetness for my liking. Love the flavor pairings and unique spices that make their way on to the menu.The subscription set this very user friendly and reliable. Baked breads ability to pivot and adapt to the changing times has been impressive and much appreciated. Life is hard, but Brake Bread makes it a bit more palatable.

Best sourdough in the Twin Cities. They are so friendly and truly love what they do and love their community. Definitely stop by and support this local small business.

It's getting better and better. The bread is fantastic. There is more variety in the other baked goods. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I know they need time off so I understand why they are closed Sun and Mondays. Not happy with that but I understand

After stopping at Mojo Monkey Donuts, across the street is this lovely bread store. We picked up a loaf of hot out of the oven Jalapeno Cheddar Bread, a Cardamom Roll (which I sampled), and 6 lunch box cookies. They gave me a free cookie for being new customer. They hooked me! They were so good I ended up buying 6 more! The breads change daily. They have a small selection of pastries and croissants also.

I LOVE there Almond Croissants ! They cut them and half and lightly spread some type of almond butter on them! They literally melt in your mouth!

Got some coffee from their to go window. Amazing service and great coffee! Staff is welcoming and friendly. The prices are affordable. All around a good place to stop if in the area!
