Decided to stop and try a new bakery today! The first thing you will notice is that this is right next to Jellybean and Julia's BBQ. I also stopped there today! Definitely go have some BBQ and then stop over here for dessert! Perfect combo!This is a small bakery inside of a strip mall but is definitely a hidden gem in Anoka! There is a lotof Swedish vibes and it was fun to see some of the options they carry here. I opted to try a bunch of different items and they did not disappoint. Each item was very unique and unlike other things I have tried from different bakeries! The stand out for me was the beehive! This is an absolute must try!! The texture of the top and bottom along with the creme in the center is sooooo good!! The lavender cookies (which we gobbled down before I took a picture) are light, delicate and very tasty! All of the items we tried were very good! This is definitely a spot I would come back and try other items! The service here was also incredibly friendly and welcoming! Overall, this is a terrific little bakery and I'll definitely be back to try other items! Everyone should check this place out!!

I recently stopped in here and I'm so glad I did! I'm so happy I live close to this hidden gem in Anoka. I was braced by two beautiful display cases full of pastries. It was tough to choose! I tried a cardamom roll and wow - doughy, spice filled deliciousness. I can't wait to go back to try more things! Notes:*Plenty of parking!*Not a ton of seating. *I'd recommend getting a pastry or sandwich and then heading to Avant Garden for more seating.

This place is amazing!!!! A hidden gem. Best lemon bread ever, and I loved the Reuben sandwich! So many amazing gluten free options!!!!!!! I wanted to try it all. Also hands down THE BEST HOME MADE KOMBUCHA ever.

Great little bakery! I come here for lunch once in a while and get the salmon sandwich! Great tasting and freshly made. All the baked items I have tried have been great! I like how I can get pickled herring all year round as well. Great option for vegan and Gluten free pastries!

The almond and orange twists were pretty good. They looked the parts they also ended up tasting. Nice for fika, although it might be preferable to have a classic "krans" (wreath) or "längd" (braid/loaf) format, rather than the oversized not-so-single serving.Unfortunately, the semla, however, had nothing on even a super basic standard grocery store chain semla in Sweden, much less an actual bakery one. I've sadly had even worse ones in the U.S., but I still cannot recommend this one if you know what a "real" semla is generally supposed to be like.Service was impersonal and transactional, the experience felt much more anonymous than I would've expected. Found it a bit disappointing as an expat trying to connect with local Swedish immigrant culture. The "Swedish" ambiance felt no more Swedish than that of IKEA.Might go back and try something else from the selection if I ever pass through the area, but certainly wouldn't make a drive out of it.

My girlfriend dropped off food from this Swedish bakery for us today, some spinach lentil soup, Limpa bread and these pictured pastries. Limited hours, only open for Breakfast and lunch. After tasting todays sampling of this place I look forward to going here myself. I have never heard of this place before today and it is maybe only 5 miles from my home. Checked out others photo's of food from here and am very much looking forward to trying numerous menu items. Read that it is a family owned business and everything is homeade in house. They have a different soup everyday.

I stopped in while on lunch break to get a treat for my wife and I and ended up with a loaf of bread two pumpkin bars and lemon twists before I knew it. I will definitely be back here to try some sandwiches or soup but I had just picked up tacos next door, and while this is a small counter service affair I am impressed with the variety of items. The lemon pastry was good but could have been tarter for my taste and the bread a flavorful loaf sliced when ordered is delicious with butter. The pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing are just the perfect size and treat for me to enjoy with afternoon tea.There is a small freezer as well that houses gluten free items they make and some Swedish potato sausage and meatballs above that is a shelf with traditional types of Nordic pantry items as well as some coffee.I will update this review as soon as I can make my way back for a lunch and maybe some of the chocolate flourless treat i saw in the case.

Love this place! Amazing baked goods!Many American style bakeries have pastries that are much too sweet. Not here. Try the cardamom crowns especially! Not too sweet, slightly savory with the cardamom, flaky goodness! They have GF options but in limited supplies.

Swedish Princess Cake! Need I say more? I consider myself lucky that it was available on the day I visited (typically only made on special occasions). So delicious and gluten free! I also purchased Budapest roll which is what I stopped in for. Again gluten-free and delicious. And there were so many goodies that I also had to try the almond cookies, cupcake, matrix bar (better than a Twix according to staff - and they weren't lying).All of this after eating incredible bbq next door!Located in a strip mall, so easy parking. With the drive to Anoka if you aren't from there.

I have always loved this bakery, but yesterday I tried their meatball lunch, and let me tell you it was so good I could have cried. It was simple, but seasoned PERFECTLY. If you want the meatballs, they only seem to serve them one Friday a month, and you should preorder them because they might sell out. Their pastries are not too sweet, which I love, and their desserts are perfect. I haven't tried their bread yet. Thank you to this bakery for the best meatballs this side of Sweden! (And I've been to Sweden, so I know!)
