But there's been a bakery on this Alexandria corner for nearly 140 years. Perhaps the history of the building has something to do with it - and certainly the Roers' skills - but this family bakery in Minnesota serves up some of the most mouthwatering sweets and truly artisanal breads you will ever try.
The retail side of the bakery is warm and inviting, the aromas of fresh baked goods almost intoxicating.
