Aki's BreadHaus & WunderBar Introduce
Introduction / Overview
Minnesota locals seeking an authentic taste of European baking tradition need look no further than Aki's BreadHaus & WunderBar in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis. This beloved local establishment, founded by a German native, goes beyond a standard bakery by blending traditional German baking excellence with a contemporary, welcoming social space. Aki's BreadHaus has cultivated a strong reputation in the Twin Cities over more than a decade for crafting breads, pretzels, and pastries that embody the genuine, hearty flavors of Germany, using time-honored techniques and high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
The experience begins with the wonderful, infectious aroma of freshly baked goods that greets you upon entering. The main bakery counter offers a spectacular display of artesian breads and pastries, from the famous Warm Aki's Pretzels to the highly-praised Craisy Raisin Bread and a multitude of rye and sourdough loaves. As one customer enthusiastically described, the feeling is one of being "wrapped up in a wonderful smell" and seeing a "wonderful display of baked goods!" This is not just a place to pick up a loaf; it is a destination.

It’s the perfect blend of Old World authenticity and Northeast Minneapolis charm. This is the only place where you can pick up a hearty, genuine German Deli Rye loaf for the week, enjoy a deliciously not-too-sweet Nutella pastry with your morning coffee, and return in the evening to socialize over a charcuterie board and a glass of German Scheurebe at the intimate WunderBar.
The core value here is uncompromising quality and tradition. Customers consistently praise the freshness and flavor of the baked goods, which stem from the founder's dedication to the recipes of his German homeland.

The environment is comfortable, the staff is welcoming, and the free, accessible parking removes any stress of a city visit. For a delicious slice of authentic Germany, served with great hospitality and the option of a fantastic glass of wine, Aki's BreadHaus & WunderBar is an essential Minneapolis destination.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Decided to try this place after I saw it on Instagram. Very nice German bakery and the selections were good. Purchased two loaves of bread as well as these two breadkfast items and a pretzel with the cranberry mustard. We will definitely be back.
May 17 · WendiWalking through the door I was wrapped up in a wonderful smell and then my eyes saw the wonderful display of baked goods!I set my eyes on Crazy Raisin Bread and was almost concerned when the French gentleman in front of me bought a loaf and I thought it was the last!! I had it as toast last night and it was phenomenal 💜✝️💜I then ordered the wonderful Vegan Potato Soup that even though it did not have the leeks the Chef wanted ……. It was delicious along with a wonderful sourdough roll - with Real Butter cubes - awesome 😎Then finished my meal with a Nutella pastry that was delicious and not țoo sweet!Cannot wait to come back for the wine bar……..Love the space and you have to sit in the fun chairs that allow you to really focus on your person in front of you!!!
December 04 · Coach Les J HillThe new location is wonderful, spacious, and full of homages to the history of Akis. Definitely more of a professional, larger bakery feel but the staff are still as helpful and friendly as ever. I feel like the production has improved too because we've yet to go there and have to make a substitution. The three-day ferment is a go-to for us and nothing in the Twin Cities has compared to the freshness and flavor.
February 16 · FauxAfter a previous attempt to visit (the kitchen was closed), we arrived earlier tonight and WOW! The food is great! The Saturday-only flammekueche was delicious and the side salad was FABULOUS. There's a very good wine-by-the-glass selection, too.Important note: The kitchen seems to shut down an hour or more before the advertised closing time. (Tonight, it closed at 8:45 or so.) This info is not on the website or their socials, AFAIK, so be warned. But it's definitely worth getting there early for the great food. (Otherwise, some snacks -- and the amazing pretzels -- are available until closing.)
August 30 · Questing UserAs an expat from Europe, I’m honestly shocked (in the best way!) to find such a bakery in the MN. The bread and pastries taste truly authentic not overly sweet or artificial, just like in Germany. I also love that the staff are friendly but not too smiley or pushy, and the vibe is calm and comfortable. A real gem!
