From Our Hands to Your Table:
The Journey of Our Baking

Our Baking Process

Why tradition matters to us

Old Ways, Best Flavors

Our recipes are more than instructions; they’re a bridge to the past. By sticking to traditional German baking methods, we ensure each bite carries the authentic flavors that have been cherished for generations. From the slow fermentation of our breads to the delicate folds of our pastries, tradition is the essence of our taste.

Made by Hand, Made with Heart

Every loaf, pretzel, and pastry from Aki’s Breadhaus is crafted with individual care and attention. Our bakers pour their passion and precision into each creation, ensuring that what you bring to your table is not just food, but a piece of art that tells the story of dedication and love.

From The Field To Your Fork

Our ingredient story

Supporting Local Businesses

We believe in the power of community, which is why we source ingredients from local farms. This commitment to local sourcing not only supports our neighbors but also guarantees the freshness and quality of our baked goods. By choosing local, we bring the best of the fields directly to your fork.

True Tastes, Real Ingredients

Our authenticity starts with the ingredients. Whether it’s flour milled in nearby farms or specialty spices imported from Germany, every ingredient is chosen for its quality and ability to bring genuine German flavors to life. It’s our promise to you: real ingredients for true tastes.

 

Difference With Every Bite

Why our baking stands out

Freshness You Can Taste

Freshness isn’t just a quality; it’s a guarantee of flavor. Our daily baking routines ensure that what you enjoy is always at its peak of taste and texture. From the oven to your table, the difference is not just seen but savored in every bite.

Flavors That Tell a Story

Each flavor at Aki’s Breadhaus is a narrative of its own, from hearty loaves that speak of German countrysides to pastries that whisper tales of European cafés. Our baking is an invitation to taste and discover these stories, one bite at a time.

The best bakery I have found so far in the twin cities. Incredible bread and very good pastires and coffee as well. The people are always friendly and it is very reasonably priced imo.

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!

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!

A must-visit for Pretzel Day (don’t sleep on the everything seasoned ones!) and chock full of delightful breads and treats. I also really love their chicken wild rice soup. Give them a visit and eat in their sunny, welcome space.

Meet the
Owners

Aki

Owner / Founder

As a native from Germany, the things that I have really missed since living here in the U.S. are the bread, rolls, pastries and baked goods that I grew up with. Since 2010, I’ve been working to bring back memories, the taste and the smell of the freshly baked goods of my home country. I hope you enjoy.

Nancy

Owner / Partner

I am super excited to be partnered with Aki in Aki’s BreadHaus & WunderBar (coming soon!). As a former business owner in retail and wholesale businesses, I have missed the adventure of being part of something that I can create & grow while building a strong team and a people-first culture. While Aki continues to oversee the production and quality of the bakery; I have taken on the business side of the operations. We make a great team!
