Minnesota
Every Holiday Season, Minnesotans Line Up At Nelson’s Cheese & Deli? No, At Bergstrom’s Bakery? Pick Lindstrom’s Kaffe
Swedish donuts. Swedish almond cookies. A bag of cinnamon toast. That lineup alone made me stop scrolling and start planning a drive. The bakery sits in a Minnesota town famous for a water tower painted like a giant teapot. The donuts…
