The space is really bright, clean, and open with an easily navigated layout. The staff was friendly and they were having fun while joking and listening to the radio. They've got coffee and some basic lattes but mainly selling baked goods. I tried a few things and all were fantastic. The vanilla concha was insanely soft and had a nice subtle flavor without the baking soda bitterness you sometimes get. The coconut bun was my personal favorite. Same dough but with a sugar paste and coconut flake topping. One of my litmus tests is pan de feria and theirs didn't disappoint. Crazy soft with a nice, subtle sweetness. It's a hike from my house but you know I'll be back if I'm in the area. Definitely recommend if you're looking for sandwich rolls or any sweet pastries.

The service…read morewas okay, and it is honestly hard to find really good panaderías in Minnesota, so I had high hopes going in. I got a concha and was pretty disappointed. The flavor was very bland and the bread itself was somewhat hard, which made it seem like it had probably been sitting out for a while. The pricing also felt a bit high for what I got. Unfortunately, I do not think I would come back again.

My life is forever changed by a simple chocolate frosted cake donut - nothing will now do compared to the one I got here. The folks running this pretty shop were so friendly, ready to box things up, and help the rush behind me, mid-afternoon. It can be quiet inside, probably with all the important executive decisions to be made. Best unsolicited advice, get many, especially if you're not from Winona, and come back when you can - I know I will!

If you pass through Spring Valley on your way to somewhere or perhaps nowhere it's worth stopping in for some donuts and great buns.

We got a turkey sandwich on rye bread with some kind of delicious red berry sauce and a dill pickle spear. What made the sandwich especially delicious was the thick slice of tomato on it.

The bakery staff are friendly and even though there is often a long line, they get you through it so quickly. The prices are a little on the high side but it is a treat to visit and worth the splurge. Go earlier in the day for the most choices. The decor is so fun and full of town history including benches from Red Wing pottery, old shops from town, and even old bakery equipment. They also have a small deli that has more lunch choices and a coffee shop with gourmet options or just a simple cup of self-serve coffee with about a dozen flavor options. It is a wonderful place to sit around and visit while enjoying your sweet treats.
