We are a locally owned, independent business rooted in Southwest Minneapolis since 2006 and deeply committed to producing not only good food, but also good community in the Lyndale and Kingfield neighborhoods. Since moving to Nicollet Avenue in 2012, we've partnered with Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, a local non-profit working to end homelessness, in giving youth living at Nicollet Square supportive work experience. As a Social Benefit Corporation, we’re focused on being a business for good, modeling sustainable practices, advocating for improvements to worker rights, and bringing positive change to our food service industry.
Brewed Coffee
We feature fair-trade organic coffees from local, independent roasters - with a range of roasts from True Stone, Roastery 7, Fika, City Girl and Wildflyer. Our cold brew is a Minneapolis fan favorite
Espresso
We offer all your espresso favorites with an attention to detail using Roastery 7’s Espresso Nuevo and Swiss Water Decaf, as well as a Red Tea Espresso
Teas
With our friends from Tea Source we have developed a lovely menu of loose leaf hot and iced teas. We also brew an in-house authentic spicy chai known as Mischief Maker
Our morning case
we provide a daily assortment of fresh baked scones, savory biscuits, sweet bread, coffee cakes and muffins, our celebrated cinnamon biscuit and Minnesota’s State Biscuit - our Hope butter-laden buttermilk biscuit
our dessert case
anchored by our long-running best-of-city eclairs, we also fill our case with cakes, cupcakes, pies, bars, cheesecakes and cookies - starring a Twin Cities Top 15 chocolate chip cookie
as a small batch bakery we can accommodate most special orders with a two day turnaround and are happy to work with your dietary needs - please note while we offer a few gluten-free items we are not a wheat-free bakery
We build our breakfast menu off our award winning buttermilk biscuits offering biscuit sandwiches and biscuits and gravy, with a short list of other breakfast standards and sides. Our kitchen creates from-scratch soups, salads and sandwiches, and a house-made vegetarian beet-carrot burger to cover a light lunch. Our Kids’ Menu is a direct reflection of our standard menu - just with kid sized portions and plating
