"After a year of struggling, I learned that pastry chef Kristy Dirk has shuttered her bakery, Lucky Oven, an adorable little space in Minneapolis’ Armatage neighborhood that opened to an excited public in November of 2017. Early reviews were mixed and peppered with complaints about quality and long service times, but the shop seemed to rally after this summer as families in the residential part of town came for the wall of Easy Bake Ovens and frosting covered cinnamon rolls. According to the Star Tribune, a sign is hung on the front door saying farewell to customers alongside another offering the space for rent; the bakery’s Facebook and web pages give no indication of closure, and calls have gone unanswered." - Joy Summers
