Laune is a wonderful, unique bakery that focuses on using locally sourced whole grains in their baked goods, including pastries! I had never had a whole wheat croissant before, but the flavor was deep and earthy in a pleasant way. I especially liked the cinnamon roll and the way the sweet frosting contrasted with the hearty dough. They also have a variety of rye bread, which can be difficult to find at most bakeries. The space is bright and inviting, and the staff was friendly and happy to answer questions. I'm a huge fan of their philosophy over and love that they are supporting local, regenerative agriculture through the ingredients they source. read more

Tried for the first time today and am somewhat disappointed. This seems like a "one-note" scenario, toasted or not. I don't know if they use the same dough for everything, but it sure seems like it. The Bread Bread and the Mueslibrot tasted exactly the same to me. You really have to like sourdough as both have a pronounced tang. The Twice-Baked Croissant was a big disappointment. Heavy, dense, and likely made with the same dough. A croissant in shape only. Very expensive as well. read more

Bread bread is amazing! Cute little shop. They donate their bread bread to the local soup kitchen. The bread bread has a wonderful distinct taste and is best enjoyed toasted with butter! read more

Laune Bread - Friday 11:30am pizza, chorizo and 3 cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

First time trying this neighborhood gem and bought a box of pastries to sample. Little did I know that Laune leans heavy into using whole wheat and most of their items are vegan! It does make for a heartier and denser taste - which takes a bit of an adjustment for me on the pastry side. Next time I aim to try their breads as I tend to enjoy whole wheat breads more. read more

Impressive collection of unique breads and sweet or savory pastries! The jalapeño cheese pretzel has deeply browned bubbling cheese all over it, with bits of jalapeño and tons of flavor. The blueberry polenta scone has a really nutty (but no nuts) grainy flavor. It has a crunchy craggy exterior, soft crumbly interior, and filled with little wild blueberries. I will definitely be back to try the other selections! read more

They do great work and have such tasty items regularly. I wish they were open more often but I'll take what I can get because it's worth it! It's always busy but the workers are friendly and seem to have a real passion for everything they do. Really didnt think whole wheat croissants would work but they somehow do - you gotta try read more

My favorite bakery in the cities. They're open breakfast and lunch hours and offer a wide selection of whole-grain, creative breads and pastry. There is a small core menu but everything else rotates seasonally and they've got a "bakers whim" load that changes weekly with what they have on hand and feel like making. The owners/bakers and staff are all extremely helpful, friendly, and happy to answer any questions you have. They do a lot with the community and local producers to promote inclusion and sourcing as close to the oven as possible. I dropped off a bunch of cherries from my trees and they gave me some store credit! All their stuff has a high percentage of whole grain which gives it a fantastic earthy flavor without being bitter. Most of it is also sourdough which makes it more digestible and gives a nice tang. On Fridays they have pizza that's amazingly flavorful. Their cheese pretzel is naturally levened, fluffy, and just salty enough from the cheese. Haven't tried the simit yet but I'm sure it's amazing. I'll be back as soon as I can justify more carbs! read more

This is a neat little bread shop tucked away on Lake Street. I walked in around closing and the choices were limited, which in my opinion is a good thing! Staff were super friendly and explained all of the options left. I also noticed that they participate in Too Good To Go which I adore! I tried a loaf of the sough dough which wasn't my favorite but the guests I had for dinner liked it. In reality I don't think I was prepared for the sears throughout the bread. I also grabbed a caramelized onion pastry which was super good. I will definitely return to see what other options they have. It's also really cool space! I could see myself reading a book while having a pastry here or catching up with a friend over coffee. If you're in the area and haven't checked this place out do so! read more

I am so glad I got to stop by. I came in and got cinnamon roll, curry lentil roll, and a sourdough bread. Everything was very good. I liked their cinnamon roll a lot. The lady working behind the counter, probably the owner, was very nice. I just wished they open daily. Next time I will buy a bunch of breads and freeze them because I don't bake. :) read more

I went to Laune for the first time in early June, around 8:30am in order to try to get the best selection of some of their pastries (they opened at 8am). I first learned of Laune Bakery via my favorite bakery in St. Paul, Brake Bread. I selected four different sweet pastries and brought them home in order to enjoy with a homemade cup of hot coffee and save a few bucks. Those four pastries set me back just shy of $20. My selections were all amazing in flavor, texture, appearance. I cut each one in half to enjoy a bit of each that morning and saved the halves for the next morning's coffee. The following Friday when I was out driving & running errands, I returned in the early afternoon to try a "slab" of their pizza. I don't remember what toppings were on that slab, but I did ask them to heat it up, which they did, and I ate it there. And it was good. read more

Best healthy bread in south Minneapolis!! Great choices, locally sourced ingredients, and baked by a well-trained baker. Pastries are totally delicious and not over-sweet. Such variety of savory flavors. Weekly "Baker's Whim" has some fantastic grain combinations. Very friendly customer service. They are worth a drive! read more

Christopher and his team do a great job bringing a unique perspective to baking. It is more of a nuttier and grain flavor. I love the quality of their ingredients and using a lot of sourdough techniques. I also loved the bread pudding! I would certainly recommend! read more

Great food and exceptional service. Ordered bread and treats to bring to a family gathering. The macaroons were really tasty. There was a minor issue with my order and the staff offered a few options to resolve it. At the end, they went (literally) out of their way to make sure I got my order right and could delight the event guests. Really impressed with this place and will be back when I am next in town. read more

Masters in the baked goods arts. Smaller shop for seating, but always a bit of a line, which is a good sign. High quality bread!

We were there with the family, it is an incredibly delicious place. Lots of pastries, we really liked it

Luane Bakery is one of those spectacular neighborhood spots that you feel lucky to find. Their breads and baked goods are delicious and they source sustainable ingredients in support of the environment and society. The employees are nice and my experiences there have all been positive. read more

Sourdough bakery with a nice selection and a few vegan options. Pre-made sandwiches are nice.

Wow! Scrumptious breads, scones, cookies...And they have coffee. Stuff sells out quick! Come early!

The baked goods were absolutely beautiful and delicious. The bakery was spotlessly clean, and the single table for sitting and eating was a picnic style. We visited with the other people who are enjoying some of the sweets and the delicious coffee I recommended. read more

I had Laune's bread before they opened their storefront, and despite my excitement over them opening a store in my neighborhood I hadn't managed to get there until today. Is there anything better than pastries and coffee on a chilly, snowy April Saturday? Laune offers bread subscriptions and delivery, which they've been doing since the beginning, but now their storefront offers walk-in bread and pastry purchases, albeit on a limited Thursday-Saturday schedule. It is worth taking the time to stop in! I was amazed with the variety of pastries they had for being a pretty small bakery, there was so much to choose from. I had a spinach cheese croissant and a cardamom walnut coffee cake and enjoyed both (I finished both within the 10 minute walk home). I'm excited to try their sandwiches and Friday pizza soon, as well. I was surprised that the pastries didn't cost more than they did ($4-5 avg) for the quality and hyperlocal ingredients they use. Laune has a number of things that make it unique: all of their breads are naturally leavened sourdough; they are very serious about their ingredient sourcing (76% midwest, 48% minnesota--amongst other stats that they are very transparent about https://launebread.com/sourcing), they have a bread fund to donate loaves to members in the community, and they offer bread delivery subscriptions. This little company is doing so much and not comprising their values. I love that they are part of my community. I highly recommend stopping in (hot tip: they have coffee, too). read more
