Cute tasty pastries with quality ingredients. Some I recognize and other I roll the dice on. Delicious How did this place ended up in a non descript strip mall in Anoka? I guess I really don't care since its only a few doors down from a delicious barbecue spot. (Jellybean and Julia's) With this set up Dinner and Dessert seem to be obligatory (if you're an early diner) read more

I have been here a few times, and they do not disappoint. From their sandwiches to their desserts it is all filling and made fresh. I also like how the employees are personable, and able to help with any menu suggestions. Even when they are busy. So far I would definitely go back for the salmon sandwich and beehive for dessert. They are worth another stop, since I can get a complete meal in one place. read more

This local bakery makes everything in house, from scratch. No high fructose corn syrup, nothing fried. Just delicious goodness! Their paninis are scrumptious as well! Very friendly owners will direct you to their personal favorites and help you decide from the visually stunning array of baked goods. The freshly made desserts are not overly sweet which allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine through! read more

Everything they make is delectable. Be sure to get there early on Saturdays for an ultra fresh danish. It's the only day of the week those are available. Note: If You're looking for a "donut" this isn't the place. If you want a next level pastry that will rival anything you can or have had in Europe, this is the place to be. read more

Everything single thing about this place is absolutely amazing. Every ingredient that goes into the pastries is all natural and no artificial color and the taste definitely speaks for itself. Definitely a little tiny hidden gem that deserves a lot more attention. The service was phenomenal as well. The waffle was phenomenal. read more

We we're greeted with a huge smile as soon as we entered. Highly recommended read more

Great little Swedish Eatery. Lots to choose from once you get inside! The hot dog special was fantastic. I'll be back.

this is what is left of my tiramisu, sooo light yet rich in flavor! Very welcoming people and very helpful. one piece is $4.99 of the tiramisu. I walked in looking for creampuffs but they were gone and they brought out the tiramisu looking so beautiful. Worth the price! read more

Cute little bakery with amazing friendly staff! So many treats and surprises available. I'm not a rye lover but their Limpia bread will definitely change your mind!

You can never go wrong here, always worth a stop when your in the area! read more

I love Krown! Every time I'm in Anoka, I stop by. I've tried the breakfast paninis and cinnamon rolls. Both great choices!

Wonderful! Worth every penny! Multiple visits, every experience perfect. Alway a hit!!

A Swedish Bakery in Anoka might make you assume a place steeped in third-generation nostalgia with baked goods that all go "squish" when poked. No assumption could be more wrong in this case. Strib called them a "best kept secret" and they wear the moniker with pride. And frankly, they back it up with some excellent baking. This is a European bakery. Things that should go "squish" (Cardamom Bread) do. Things that should be rustic and heavy of crust - are. (Bread.) Things that should be pretty as a picture, fragrant and filled with fresh butter - are. (Lingonberry cupcakes. Lavender cookies. Pastries.) I got two fragrant and fantastic items - doughy, heavily spiced, sweet and perfect cardamom bread (pretty decent at 4.99) and an amazing Lavender cookie - basically one of the best pieces of shortbread you've ever had perfumed with lavender, liberally. (A buck.) Now - would I drive out here ALLL the way from the other end of the universe if I were fiending for anything other than Cardamom bread, which is incredibly good here? Honest answer, probably not, but consider this very much on even footing with Baker's Wife, Margo, even Salty Tart or Turtle when it comes to the lavender cookie. If you actually live more up this way? Well, consider me kind of jealous! read more

This place is AMAZING!! I have dreams about the wonderfulness they are able to prepare inside. I have yet to try anything that has disappointed. They use high-quality ingredients and the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. It's also locally owned and operated and they are as nice as can be. read more

Beautiful little cafe/bakery. Friendly and smiley service. Instant classic! Love this place. read more

The Swedish Bakery has really great desserts and sandwiches. The bakery has fantastic counter help, sells gluten-free desserts and the panna cotta is incredible!! Anoka is really lucky to have such a gem to go to. It is a bit on the expensive-side, but you absolutely get the incredible quality that you pay for! Love this place! read more

Though slightly pricey, this bakery is among the best I've ever been to. The service is quick and friendly, adding to the positive experience at Krown. My friend and I had the delicious Salmon sandwich with dill sauce, along with Icelandic meringue and the lemon delight. It's evident that everything is freshly made with high quality ingredients. This was our first trip there, and definitely won't be our last. read more

I got talked into a loaf of sourdough when I was picking up a bunch of goodies. It was great. I picked up an artisan loaf from Target for convenience sake this week and Krown's is way better. I got a lavender cookie and it was to die for. Very crumbly, delicate, and so tasty. A few of the desserts are pretty meh, like the lingonberry bar, but others are really good! Next I need to try their sandwiches. I'll be back. read more

Delicious! We ordered soup of the day, panini and several deserts (Napoleon cake, Budapest cake and cinnamon swirl). Everything tasted great! We will definitely come back again. Glad we discovered this place! read more

I am not one to pursue bakeries, but I have kids that love sweets. I thought I would stop and pick up dessert after picking up dinner as a treat. I chose a chocolate, caramel sea salt éclair...wow. Amazing. I shared this with my 10 year old whom gave me back her half. Yay! Why did she give it back? Because we also were supposed to share a Beehive Tosca filled with Bavarian cream. Tons of it. Needless to say I lost her at hello-I mean Bavarian cream. I will be back to try some breads and the salmon Arugula sandwich for lunch. read more

If you live in this area and you haven't been to Krown, you are missing out. What a hidden gem in Anoka.

I will start with the good. The staff here are wonderful. The Swedish Limpa bread and Cardamon bread are great. I would not return though unless you want to go out of your way to get these two breads. I then got 4 pastries: Love note-way too much pastry. Loved the custard filling but if you are going to go to the trouble of making your own raspberry filling-strain out the seeds Winter roll-OMG the spice balance was all wrong-too much cinnamon and cloves...you need nutmeg, cardamon, a touch of cinnamon and a hint of cloves Lemon Mustache-Again so much pastry but only a dazzle of lemon-I could hardly taste the lemon Orange Twist-this one had the pastry amount right. One end of the pastry was rich with orange flavor but the opposite end had none-inconsistency. It seemed they used 1 white sweet bread recipe for the pastries and it was okay, but not my favorite esp. if they are going to be inconsistent with how they use it. For the cost and inconsistencies, I would not return. read more

If you are driving through Anoka, MN stopping at the Swedish Crown is a must. They have the BEST reuben sandwich, soups, tiramisu, budapest, cookies, truffles... well everything! & Fari makes world famous hot chocolate! Many gluten and dairy free options! read more

This little bakery is a quaint and charming. All the employees are super friendly and helpful. I'm gluten free and they have tons of gluten free options. The thumb print cookies are amazing! I also really enjoy there waffles on Saturday mornings. It is a delight to go to this sweet bakery! read more

This is perhaps one of my favorite places in the world. I grew up in Anoka and when my parents told me about a new Swedish bakery in this old strip mall next to the DMV and the cemetery on Main Street in Anoka I was skeptical. How pleasantly surprised I was to find one of THE best and most authentic European bakeries that I have found in the the state. And it's Scandinavian, too. Everything here is wonderful their breads look divine and every pastry I have ever had here has been phenomenal. All the ingredients or natural and organic. They like to liberally use Scandinavian flavors like cardamom and lingonberry in their pastries. I love the seasonal pastries they come out with for holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day (homemade truffles!!). Around the Scandinavian Christmas holiday season (St. Lucia's) they had their own Saffron buns traditional for the holiday and saffron cardamom biscotti! Definitely remember them for special holidays and occasions! They have a fair number of European imports from Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and the British Isles to take a look at. The owners are from Sweden and very friendly, they can even speak some German or Swedish if you want to practice your language skills! You can find their lunch specials and pastries at the Co-op in downtown Anoka, too. Hope this place stays open for a long time! read more

So I dropped by today bc I was en route to picking up a child from summer activities, but realized I was famished- Just saw the sign and thought I would grab a sandwich, which by the way was delicious- fresh sesame seed bread w turkey and cheese and crisp lettuce, mmm, oh, and slices of sweet yellow bell pepper, mmmm But items behind the other glass beckoned-- For what to my beholden eyes did I see? An amazing selection of pastries, not exactly a dollar a piece, a bit more, yet with names from another world, and flavors to boot. I love baked goods and my daughter just whipped up a batch of darned good cream puffs the other day, but by golly, I gobbled up the orange twist in the car, totally, right after yesterday I had vowed to start a 21-day fix diet( of about 1 cup carb per day). Was it ever worth it!!! What a way to celebrate the start of my diet so that I can also end it w another heavenly blessed pastry... You must come to this place. It is THE ABsOLUTE BEST bakery I have ever met in my life!!! Come and bring yourself to this little plaza by the drivers licensing center in Anoka and thank your lucky stars that a place like this exists this side of heaven. It is actually almost elven in form and function but truly exists in our little neck of the woods. Oh, and I did bring home several other pastries for the family- they akin to me, gobbled these babies up, bakery babies... I'm not actually from around here.... Good ingredients, probably good technique- some good baking going on in Anoka folks!!! read more

Saw the sign and stopped while driving through Anoka, background is Swedish-Finnish. Enjoyed the Swedish Kringle and other pastry with Lingonberry "Fall ......"? Also brought home the Cardamom bread to have with coffee in morning, Nice find! read more

What an awesome find was this little shop! Their panini sandwiches were delicious. Then we tried Three of the baked treat options because we couldn't narrow it down. The pastry called beehive that was the best of all, though each one was delicious. What I love most about this place is that Everything is from scratch - even the Bavarian cream. And many of the ingredients they use are organic, which isn't touted or advertised (that we saw) but we found out by asking lots of questions about all of the bakery options. Oh, I love a purveyor that uses the very best because they want the best taste and best result. Mmmm. The Bavarian cream (inside one of the pastries) used organic cream and was heavenly. You would be unlikely to run across this little shop without seeking it out. So consider it a best kept secret and find it! A delicious stop in little Anoka. read more

I stumbled upon this place while killing time before a business meeting. I ordered a coffee and a pastry, forget which, but it had cardamom and Apple spice. It was excellent. I've never tasted anything like that in the Twin Cities, where it has more of the bread taste and a slight sweet flavor, rather than the sugar bomb you get at many bakeries. You can tell they care about what they are doing here, and the breads and everything in the display booth looked incredible. read more

Best restaurant in Anoka! Amazing and lovingly made baked good. EVERYONE should try a Lavender Dream Cookie!!!!! I am definitely ordering my wedding cake from here! read more

Swedish Crown is a gem, I believe it may just be one of the best bakeries in the metro and I consider myself lucky to have it as my local bakery - i.e. it's my Saturday morning guilty pleasure ! I guess it is time for me to spread the word, because I believe that other Yelpers in the area deserve to check it out. The shop is tucked into a small strip mall right off Hwy 10 Southbound on Main Street, so it can be easy to miss. Everything I have tried, and I have to admit I have tried quite a few, were excellent. They use organic ingredients and you can appreciate the lack of preservatives. A few of my favorites, their custard filled items-- you can tell the custard is homemade YEAH . Please don't miss their lavender sugar cookies, they melt in your mouth. I also love their fresh baked bread, they make several varieties daily. I have tried their Dill Bread - and thought I was eating some of my mom's homemade bread. I just bought myself a loaf of their sourdough bread with garlic, and just snuck a slice - another winner, crusty outside and soft inside, the garlic is great, but does not overwhelm the flavor of the bread. They also have a small charming seating area so you can enjoy your treat right there. Finally, I must say that the owners and staff are very friendly, they patiently answer my questions and provide suggestions. So the next time you are driving through Anoka, check them out ! read more
