Always good, always fresh. My kids attend school in NE so a morning snack makes them happy. My sister in law is German and I tried this place first in Osseo. I’m so happy that they are in NE. Everything is good! Trying the Pretzel with cranberry mustard today, rosemary garlic bread and the ever trustworthy cinnamon stick for the kids.

My husband was in Germany for 2 years and loves Brötchen. I saw the bakery had them and I went with my sister yesterday and bought a dozen. I surprised him with a traditional German meal like we had when we visited Germany a couple years ago. I had cheese, meat, broetchen and some German wine on the table when he came home. He was so excited! It brought back so many memories of us pulling up to a picnic area and having our lunch enjoying beautiful Germany! Also I found my German family still living there in the small village my Great Grandfather was born in!

Visited today for the first time. Closest thing I’ve found to home since my grandmother passed away. If you enjoy German bread and pastries you are missing out not coming here! Will be back soon.
I have eaten Aki's's famous large pretzels for years and years in bars and taverns throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. Yet, despite the original Aki's being located directly next to Fair State Brewing (I travel there often), I have never, ever seen Aki's actually OPEN for business!Obviously, they are open most every day, but "day" being the important word here - Aki's has never been open during the late nights when I frequent Fair State. I remember fondly that when Fair State opened, they built a small pass-through window directly into the Aki's bakery area - allowing for direct sales and delicious smells to waft through the brewery! Ah, those were the days, right?In any case, imagine my surprise when I walked by the Aki's on the way to FS to discover that the bakery is now occasionally open until 7 pm! Immediately, ordered myself a beer at FS, followed by a trip over to Aki's for a pretzel. Wonderful, as always. Served with several options for mustards, the store offers breads and brotchen, too.It's "no frills" inside, and very small in size, but happy to get a pretzel to eat with my Fair State beers! They were just closing when I arrived there, so most of their stock of breads were gone. But someday I'll catch them in the morning!

I honestly believe that they have the best breads in MN, and really good soup, however, the cashiers that work there are something else…. Especially the one on Tuesdays. I was putting a loaf of bread in the bag in front of her, because she didn’t do it properly, then suddenly she yelled at me to move out of the way for someone who was behind me who was not there a second ago. Because she was so rude, I told her that I would move when I am done. She then asked me aloud if I paid for the bread in a tone that was accusing me ….of not paying…for ….the thing is she is the one who took the money from me only a few minutes ago….at this point it was rather ridiculous, so I said ‘no, I stole it’ to which she could not say anything….I find her rather entertaining really… I will make sure that I will go back for the good bread and a woman from the cave…..for her rudeness….

I felt home sick a few days ago and decided to visit this bakery. If you are looking for an authentic German bakery, this is the place to go. Definitely try the wonderful Bretzel and Brötchen! My heart was full after visiting Aki's BreadHaus.
This bakery is hands down the best in the Twin Cities. Everything from the bread loafs to the desserts is such high quality. The prices are also unbeatable. Thank you Aki for being such an amazing spot for baked goods!

this is a bakery for all the people who went to Germany, experienced the bread culture there, and returned to Minneapolis hoping to find bread that tastes, smells, and feels like what they had in Europe.——————This bakery is really special and so is the family that owns it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan folks can leave satisfied

Love the bread, but wish they would have updated Google for holiday hours. They're closed through January 3rd.
