Hanging some art today. We finished installing the booths yesterday. It's very exciting to see the dining room come together! We aren't planning to do dine-in when we reopen, but it feels important that we are ready for it, whenever local transmission of covid drops to a safer level.

You might recognize the booths, they spent decades at the Grand Cafe. Before that, we're told, they were at another bakery/cafe around the corner from there. Yesterday—after crawling around on the floor, driving screws—we sat at the booths and reflected on all the past and future first dates, old friend reunions, hard conversations, parents sharing a treat with their children, a quiet moment with a book and good food and beverage. Savoring the legacy and the potential, and eagerly awaiting the time when we can safely welcome you all to eat here.

In the mean time, we're preparing to get opened for takeout. We don't have an opening date yet, but it's looking like late January!

We've been working on the new space in Nokomis for about a week now! It's been such a joy to have so many neighbors stop by to say hello, to share their excitement and anticipation and to welcome us to the neighborhood! We're getting really excited setting up the new space 🥯❤️🥯❤️

We're so excited to finally share where we're moving! Our new address will be 5011 34th avenue South, close to the nokomis library. 🥯📚 We're starting to move this week, and we'll post updates as we get it ready to reopen!

I should have some big news about the bakery's future in the next few days. In the mean time I wanted to give you all a heads up, next week will be our last week of production at our Corcoran location. That means you have only two chances left to stock up on breads, bagels and bialys before we are closed for a while. Don't worry, it's going to be good news, and we'll be back! 🥯 ❤️

We're changing our pickup day to ✨Wednesday✨ this week only! Order on our website to pickup Wednesday between 2 and 6pm

Bialys, IYKYK! If you don't know, they're a Polish

Bialys, IYKYK! If you don't know, they're a Polish Jewish roll, lighter and simpler than a bagel. They have an indent in the middle, smeared with roasted onions. They are often enjoyed sliced, toasted and buttered. One regular customer told me last week that they—like Proust's madeleine—immediately connect him with childhood memories.

Bakery update! Our time in our current location will be ending before too long. We're on the search for a new bakery space. Small kitchen spaces are scarce and in high demand, so we've been having a bit of a time of it. If you know if anything, please let me know!

We'd like to stay as close as possible. I'm hoping to find someplace we can settle into for a longer time, where we can expand our service and menu. It's another difficult transition, but I think we'll come out on the other side of it with an even better version of Asa's Bakery!

Ordering is open for pickup on Thursday. We will be closed the following two weeks, so stock up now! 🙂

My partner and I will be driving out to the East coast for a wedding and to visit family and friends. A much appreciated break that we're really looking forward to!

There will be some bakery changes happening later this fall, so I'll have some updates for you soon!

We have a lot of fun with our seasonal cream cheeses. They change every 2-4 weeks, and highlight the best available herbs and veggies from local farmers.
