Bellecour Bakery Expands to St. Paul in Its Latest Partnership With Cooks of Crocus Hill | Eater Twin Cities

"After starting as a pandemic pop-up, I watched Bellecour’s French-inspired baked goods—helmed by James Beard Award–winning chef Gavin Kaysen and pastry chef Diane Moua—quickly become a North Loop favorite: lines stretched for their laminated croissants, Moua’s ultra-popular crepe cakes, and unpretentious sandwiches. Pastries were originally schlepped from Bellecour Bakery & Café’s Wayzata location, and when Kaysen’s Wayzata restaurant closed production moved into Cooks’s sprawling North Loop kitchen; the bakery’s hit raspberry frangipane, which hadn’t appeared since the Wayzata fold, will return at the new St. Paul location for a month." - Alex Lodner
