"John Kraus and Elizabeth Rose have opened the Twin Cities newest Rose Street Patisserie just off West 7th Street in Saint Paul’s revitalized Jacob Schmidt Brewery. The bakery has already built a staggering reputation for confections, pastries, and bread. The new cafe opened quietly this Sunday and will serve breakfast through early afternoon this week. Next week, plans are to begin staying open until 6 p.m. On the menu are poached eggs on avocado toast, sky-high laminated bread French toast, and a croissant breakfast sandwich filled with sausage, eggs and a thin layer of béchamel. There are also several lunch-friendly sandwiches including a BLT, an Italian sandwich, panzanella. In addition to all the savory items now afforded guests thanks to the full kitchen on site, the pastry case is packed with treats like kougin aman, almond croissant, passionfruit bockstock, blueberry muffins, quickbreads, chocolates, meringues, macaron, and so much more. Just down the hall from the cafe is a theatre where bakers are working, creating all of the baked goods for all of Rose Street’s locations. Rose Street Patisserie has two other locations on Snelling Avenue in Saint Paul, and Linden Hills. There’s a treat stand from them inside Keg & Case." - Joy Summers
