It's unfortunate that we didn't realize this existed until today. Amazing locally sourced breads and baked goods. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable. I would rather support smaller businesses that put time, education, and craftsmanship into their goods than your large grocers. Thanks for being here!

I've been looking forward to getting my weekly wholesome loaf of bread and pastry treat from Laune for five years now and it was a dream come true they set up shop just a few blocks from my home. It's one of those magical places that you really need to visit for yourself to fully comprehend. My aunt who is a professional baker and ran her own bakery for many years said this was the best baked bread she's ever had and the most impressive whole wheat pastries she's seen as well. The people who own and work here are the best kind too, they always source local (they even will take excess fruits off the neighbors hands in exchange for pastries!) and they're always putting the community first, and are always ready with a smile!

I’m not into trying new things but I met this wonderfully nice lady this morning who worked here and she introduced me to the best sandwich I’ve ever had. It was a Ham + Mostarrada Focaccia Sandwich. I don’t even know how to say those words, but I must say it was so freaking good, everyone in this place was so nice, I can’t wait to bring my daughters here. Thank you so much we really enjoyed everything we got and we will most definitely be back soon ❤️

Really tasty baked goods! Had the palmier (great flavor, loved the seeds, and flaky crunch), curry roll (great flaky pastry and tasty filling) and squash pizza (yummy). Quite reasonable prices. Only wish they had wifi so I could study there.

I watched a video on YouTube a while back which interviewed the owners. If I remember correctly, they use mostly if not only whole wheat for all of their breads and pastries and source it from local farmers in Minnesota. I was also sold on the photos I've seen and selection so I decided to stop in today. The space is a little on the smaller side but there is still a variety of seating. It had a warm feeling inside and there was a lot of support from the community this morning.
I was sort of in the mood for sweet and savory so I ordered the curry daal roll and one of their cardamom buns. The curry daal was super flavorful, but I feel like to properly enjoy this, you must go home and re-bake it in your oven. I liked the crunch you get from the pastry too. The cardamom bun was good but again, it probably would've been stellar warm. There are some pastries that are good cooler or at room temperature but these would shine warm.
I'll usually go to a bakery right at open for maximum freshness but this was a spontaneous decision and I arrived around 9am so I can't hold that against them. However, the quality and selection is there so I could easily see myself coming back here in the future. I'm also very keen on snagging a loaf of bread next time as I love some whole wheat bread! I'm just not sure how I feel about wheat in the pastry form yet.
Incredible chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll pastry. My fav in the city!

Longfellow is so lucky to have such a great local bakery in our neighborhood! The bread and pastries are awesome, the staff is wonderful, and also the pizzas on Friday are a fun lunch option. Love this bakery and can’t say enough good things about it!

Heavenly bread! Just amazing. Every one I have tried is incredible. Their hearty/dense German rye breads are amazing! I generally lean towards their bread over baked goods as I like a little more white flour and airiness in my pasteries. This I don’t think is a fault of theirs as they have a path and stick to it. That being said their orange anise spiral, sesame ball, dal filled croissant, and rye cookies are really amazing (fyi I think all those names are wrong more just descriptors of the product). Also if you like tea you have to buy the sticky rice black tea they sell. You can get it to drink there or buy some to go. It is soooo good! The service and vibe there is always warm and friendly. This place is amazing and worth checking out if you are a bread fan.

Amazing bakery specializing in European whole-grain breads and pastries. Find treats like kolaches and pretzels here, as well as awesome little sandwiches. Love the coffee partnership with SK. I appreciate Laune's dedication to local ingredients and even local grain milling.
The space is not big, but it's airy and relaxed. No free WiFi.
Just your friendly neighborhood south Minneapolis bakery.
