The Swedish Crown Bakery in Anoka has tantalized customers with homemade soups, thought-provoking vegetarian dishes and taste-bud teasers like salmon au gratin and meatballs in coconut and mango sauce — all made from scratch.
What the bakery lacked was a big selection of baked goods. Or an oven large enough to produce the breads, pastries and other offerings that husband-and-wife team Fari and Eva Sabet dreamed of creating when they opened their restaurant 18 months ago within the Grass Roots Co-op store, a block south of Main Street.
That’s about to change. On Saturday a new Swedish Crown Bakery, located at the Anoka Shopping Center on Main Street, will mark its grand opening. The restaurant within the Co-op will remain, under the name Swedish Crown Cafe & Deli.
“I don’t churn the butter, but otherwise, everything is made from scratch,” said Eva Voros Sabet as a customer sampled a Swedish almond twist filled with almond paste.
