Incredibly welcoming and charming space with such kind employees! My friend and I popped in for the first time to grab some pretzels and sweet treats (the cinnamon stick and apple pastry were delicious). Unfortunately we didn't have any cash to leave a tip but regardless, the workers were extra accommodating and offered a free coffee refill. Will definitely be stopping by again! Thanks for being so awesome! :)

Hands down the BEST Deutsche Bäckerei in the state, if not the Midwest. Service is 2nd to none. They are so friendly. The bread is amazing, and makes me long to go back to Germany. Pair their Brotchen with Leberkäse (from Bavaria Sausage in WI) or their Bretzls with Weisswurst (also from Bavaria Sausage) and a Helles Bier and you are in heaven! Their chive roll, bread loaves, and sweets are just as fabulous. I always stock up when I make the 45 min (one way) trip. I hate driving in Mpls, THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I will be a big girl and drive myself in that city.

My daughter and I got a haul of baked goods yesterday to try. The lemon poppyseed streusel is like a piece of heaven. Don’t eat this thing if you want to fit into your favorite pair of jeans, because you will likely eat the whole thing. It’s absolutely to die for. Our other favorites: cinnamon sticks, everything pretzel and the prosciutto Parmesan croissant (absolutely amazing!). That croissant was everything; buttery, flaky and perfect. The gluten-free hazelnut cookie was surpringly awesome! They also have great coffee to go with your sweets. The staff there are super friendly and helpful too. Thanks, Aki’s, for being a bright light in our neighborhood. We’ll be back. Every day. Forever. 😜

Aki's was great! I've been meaning to make it here for quite some time now, and I'm so thankful now that I finally have! The fresh pretzels are so good, as well as any of their pastries. I had an apple filled roll (can't quite remember what it's called 😅), and by golly it was amazing. If you want to experience some good authentic German carby-ness, then there's no other place to stop besides Aki's!
