This quaint bistro is nestled comfortably in between Minneapolis and St. Paul bringing much of the State’s Scandinavian heritage right into the heart of Minnesota’s metropolis. My friends and I were looking for a new place to grab some coffee one Sunday morning and we came across the quiet Finnish Bistro, which was recommended to me from one of the girls that I work with. It’s located just 7 minutes from campus and offers a safe and spacious retreat to do homework or grab a bite to eat. The wooded aesthetic of the bistro is decorated with antique Scandinavian baking tools and a menu that complements the Northern European culture. Finnish Bistro has multiple gluten free food and beverage options. My go to order is an iced chai latte with a gluten free almond kringler, but the gluten free brownies also look delicious. I look forward to going back there soon for some more gluten free almond kringler. If you find yourself in the Twin Cities and are in need of a caffeine boost, be sure to hop over to Finnish Bistro.
Until next time,
Brynn 🙂
