Month: May, 2014

Location: Anoka, Minnesota

Back again and this month the Minnesota snow is finally gone- yay! I had a session in Downtown Anoka and as I was waiting for the client to show up, I realized that there are so many awesome spots right there that I should do a Where We Live blog post on good ol’ Anoka, but seeing as Anoka has a ton of things that I could get carried away with, I decided to focus on one of my favorite things: places to eat!

Anoka, Halloween Capital of the World (no really, Google it) sits just north of the Mississippi River and was founded in 1844. Many of the original Downtown area still remains and the brick buildings have been turned into coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries and ice cream parlors. I highly recommend Avant Garden’s vanilla breve, the Chocolate Nirvana from Truffles & Tortes and a glazed Texas donut from Han’s Bakery!

Photographed in this month’s blog post are:

Two Scoops Ice Cream, Truffles and Tortes Desserts Cafe, Sweet River Candy Shop, Avant Garden Espresso Bar, Serum’s Goodtime Emporium & Wings, Pizza Man Anoka and the historic and iconic Han’s Bakery.
